Appraisal
This former hotel was built at a time when this spectacular peninsula was openings up to tourism, to provide accommodation and refreshment to travellers. Its three-storey, vertical form contrasts greatly with the horizontal form favoured for dwellings in the area, and marks it out as a commercial building. Though altered at ground floor level, it retains much of its character and charm.
