What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The rooms in question are quietly luxe and more than a little bit stylish; the atmosphere is remarkably intimate given the central location.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Mont Orgueil Castle towers directly behind the building, and the harbour beach sits just across the slipway.
The rooms
Pastel bedrooms look out over the harbour and beach, while rear rooms face the stone battlements of Mont Orgueil Castle.
The yoga studio
The first-floor studio has timber floors and patterned mats, hosting daily yoga and Pilates sessions.
The treatment room
A quiet treatment room offers Swedish massage, sports bodywork, and Reiki by Prana Health & Wellbeing.
Restaurant
The Dining Room
Mirrored arches and blue velvet banquettes line the dining room, where menus spotlight local seafood and bistro classics.
At the table
Spirits line the backlit cocktail bar, and outdoor terrace tables look straight across the Gorey waterfront.
How it began
Recorded as an inn in the 1851 census, the building expanded across pier cottages during Gorey's Victorian shipbuilding boom.
