Spend the weekend
Sitting at the heart of Royal William Yard, this Grade I Listed building is home to Rooms by Bistrot Pierre - 14 stylish boutique rooms bursting with original features including high ceilings and Georgian windows.
Originally constructed in around 1830, the building was designed as comfortable residences for the Royal Navy's Officer classes. Now, you can spend the weekend taking in all the Yard has to offer, from the open grassy spaces of The Green to spectacular views across Firestone Bay.
