Hope to be back soon!
Excellent location at edge of town center with easy walking access. Very clean well kept property and room. Really nice garden for outdoor drinks or meals. Food was ample and good at reasonable prices, more pub style than fine dining. The parking courtyard was tight, but we did always find a spot. Staff attentive and friendly.
