Spend a couple of night here on a walking (crawling) trip with chums. On arrival prepare to walk through Narnia’s wardrobe: from a very traditional bar area into accommodation that borders on the boutique………absolutely nothing wrong with either of these experiences. The bar is welcoming on the eye and palate and the staff are extremely pleasant and efficient. There is... More

We ate here twice during our minimoon, we even had our 'last night meal' here. We had great food, nice atmosphere and well priced for the value you recieve. Very worth reserving though as cna get very busy, even on a Tuesday night!!
