I enjoyed the restaurant very much. I went walking with friends and their dogs and the food met my high expectations (the lamb tartare was great!). the service was friendly. The staff were attentive, and the fire was warm. i would love to return here. It was a great experience.

I found the vegetarian options quite limited . i stayed overnight and there was only one vegetarian dish. My partner had to order starters and sides instead.

Adequate stay. Issues encountered

the hotel rooms matched their descriptions online.

The noise was a major issue. Bin collections occurred early and disturbed sleep. the restaurant's limited dinner options also proved frustrating, as there was no flexibility in the menu one evening. the wine prices seemed excessively high as well.
