Personality shines through in this cool guesthouse, where vintage furniture is paired with
contemporary art and ultramodern bathrooms in the hotel-standard wing. There's equally
appealling guesthouse rooms, a big dining hall for breakfast (included in summer rates),
and a cosy bar area celebrating happy hour from 5pm to 7pm.

The town's 'patron', a local man made good in the US, is behind the vibrant marina re-
development; he is now building an upmarket, 68-room harbourside hotel (including on-
site restaurant and bar). It was under construction at the time of writing, but should be
open by the time you read this. Look for more details online.
Eating
The street opposite the supermarket is Aðalgata; it's home to a busy bakery and pizzeria,
but come mealtime most appetites are focused on the primary-coloured marina, where old
warehouses have been reborn as photogenic eateries.

Dressed in sunny yellow, this stylish, light-filled space is furnished with funky seats made
from old herring barrels. The upmarket menu is fish-focused (naturally), with lobster soup
and catch of the day fresh from the boats outside. Reservations recommended.
