5 / 5

This is a lovely old building close to the water. Parking is right in front. The staff are the best! Kind and helpful and ready to be of assistance if needed. Lots of suggestions of things to see and do in the surrounding countryside and ready to give some history of the area. The food was fresh, delicious and beautifully arranged. I wanted to stay longer just to try more items on the menu!…
