quality foodfriendly staff
I really enjoyed the mixed grill. It had quality food that tasted great! the table near the roaring log fire was amazing on such a blustery day. the hosts were so cute, and they are dog friendly too, so i felt right at home. the fish and chips were superb. The chef really cares about the food quality.
The cups in the room were a bit small. I definitely needed larger ones.

Really good Amenities and Service
good breakfasthelpful stafflimited menu
The breakfast offered a good variety of options. I also found the staff to be both polite and helpful, which greatly enhanced my experience. The convenient location allowed for easy access to nearby attractions. The well-kept parking area offered ample space for vehicles.
The menu, while providing good quality food, presented a limited selection of dishes. This could be expanded to cater to a wider range of preferences. I would appreciate a broader culinary variety during my next visit.

The location is good, and parking is available. Breakfast included tasty, freshly cooked food. Staff was friendly and cute at the bar. I found the beer well-kept, and it was served as a 'full' pint.
The cups were too small.
