Intimate pub serving a wide range of real ales and the fantastic 'Weapons Grade' alcoholic ginger beer. The menu full of comfort food (suet puddings, sausage and mash) will help soak up the tipples.

An eclectic selection of vintage shops specialising in different decades can be found between Albert Road and the Palmerston precinct. Start with Tango Tea and their flapper and Art Deco collection then onto Style in the City and the One-Eyed Jockey with clothes from the Seventies, or for a real Fifties and Sixties experience step into Dead Man's Glory and bop away to skiffle music playing on the turntables whilst riffling through the rails.

Its an eight-bedroomed boutique hotel in a quiet residential road just a minute's walk from the lovely seafront, and a brisk walk to Gunwharf Quays for shopping. I've stayed at The Clarence on two occassisons and it just gets better and better. The first time I stayed in the Luella Cherry Room with massive whirlpool bath complete with a TV in the bathroom. Stayed again last week in the Wild at Heart Room which has a bath in the room so Hubby and I can chat even when I'm lounging in the bath! The service is top notch with room service 24 hours a day and a breakfast menu that is the best I've ever seen - so much choice. And the best thing? No children allowed so it's an adult's haven from other people's 'little darlings'

I would recommend the watermark to anyone. We had a lovely meal sat by the fire (nice and warm). Our waitress Lisette was great!

I had a gorgeous Sunday lunch at the King Street Tavern the other day, and now I know why all the locals rave about it! Really tasty food, friendly staff and prompt service. Nice atmosphere too as it's was busy on a Sunday
