Took a chance to pop in for diner and although it was really busy we had not booked, we were shown to the bar to wait and within 5 minutes we got a nice table. The staff were very friendly and the food was great too. Well worth a visit

It was so comfortable and the food and beer of such a high standard that we were quite reluctant in the morning to set off! The rooms are large and well equipped, and the staff most helpful and attentive. The food was way above... More
