Going back again !!!
Good stay. Food was very good. The waitress was excellent (didn’t catch her name.) was very helpful in recommending my meal although she did say the roast was good and it did look good lol ! Complimentary chocolates is a really good idea and they were delicious. Will 100% go back next time I’m in the area.
