; 11 Main St; s £65-75, d £75-105; )
This graceful Georgi-
an house has a lovely garden terrace where you can sit and gaze over the harbour. The

the decor doesn't always hit the spot.

Built by Sir Evan Jones, the ar-
chitect who designed the harbour, this rambling turreted home is perched on a hill at the
edge of town, overlooking his creation. The bright, spacious rooms are decked out in clas-
sical B&B style and the hosts are incredibly welcoming. You'd be well advised to book

This simple
Italian with stripped floors, leather chairs and a mellow vibe is turning out to be Fish-

well chosen wine list make it the pick of the crop.

Royal Oak Inn
( 01348-872514; Market Sq; mains £5-15; 10am-11pm)
Suffused with character, this old inn was
the site of the French surrender in 1797, and the table on which it was signed takes pride
of place at the back of the dining room. The pub has turned into something of an invasion
museum, filled with memorabilia. Not only does the Royal Oak have an important place
in Fishguard's history, it also hosts a popular live folk night on Tuesdays, when musicians
are welcome to join in.
