The Gull and Kettle
A charming, half-timbered building situated on the rocky edge of the harbor. Its low-slung roof and circular doors are classic halfling designs, while the stone foundations are reinforced against the spray of the salt water. The exterior is painted a cheerful sea-foam green with white trim, and a wide wooden deck extends over the shoreline to provide diners with a view of the crashing waves.
