exceptionally well-run and friendly hostel is well equipped, clean and tidy and just a five-
minute walk from the train station. The cosy common areas would be the envy of many a
fancy hotel. A good breakfast is served. The reception area is shut between noon and 3pm.

Arguably
the most popular of the waterfront eateries, this place offers solid pub grub in a warm and
inviting interior. It has good-value lunch deals and plenty of salty marine life on the menu,
including a very tasty prawn, bacon and camembert salad.
