- Emily W3 contributionsWe visited here twice on our stay in west bay and while it’s interesting and I could spend a while looking around and my daughters spent ages looking around I probably wouldn’t visit again. Mostly I found the ornaments etc interesting and nostalgic as I recognised a lot of it from things my Grandparents had in their homes, so that was a lovely trip down memory lane. Unfortunately it wasn’t clean, everything so so dusty and a scarf I bought smelled so bad of damp that I threw it away. Also very overpriced, one item I thought to buy was £20, dusty and I could have bought new from eBay for £12.50. Interesting place to look and I would have paid the inflated price if it were clean.Written 25 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GwenNorthampton, UK29 contributionsThis tavern is small but nice. It has a mobile van in the courtyard which serves fantastic thai food. We have eaten there a few times and have never been disappointed.Written 2 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Monika SBradfield, UK4 contributionsThe best experience. Our capitan Milo was just amazing, he looked after us very well. I took my mum, father and my sister. My mum was a little bit sceptical but after 5min she calmed down and enjoyed the ride. It was supposed to be a very gentle cruise ride but when he saw that everyone is enjoying he kicked the engine a bit.
So in the end we had 2 in 1. Beautiful long ride plus a bit of blast.
Highly recommended 👌

- ABrown13London, UK13 contributionsWe went on the one hour mackerel trip. We didn't catch anything but who cares! The sun was shining, the view was great and the crew were really friendly. My boys (age 10 and 11) really enjoyed it even though they didn't catch a fish and want to do it again.Written 2 June 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
