amazing atmosphere reasonable prices friendly staff perfect cooking
I visited with my mum and discovered what all the fuss was about. It was instant. the atmosphere proved amazing and i thought the food even topped it. my mum and i had surf and turf. My wife chose the moules frites. everything was cooked to perfection with very reasonable prices. crystal deserves a special shout-out. She. i hope we are in her section on my return.
the only tiny issue was that i struggled slightly to find a parking spot one evening.

a mixed experience
cramped room open fire
the location is fabulous with lovely views.
our room felt cramped. the attention to detail seemed lacking, especially with the basin and shower cubicle in the bathroom. there wasn't an open fire, or the fish pie (i loved that pie!).

the staff was consistently helpful, especially at reception. the quick walk to the town center made exploring easy. my room had dual aspects, providing fine views of the surrounding area, so it was an amazing experience.
