good accommodation with minor issues

friendly staff great location fabulous beer garden overpriced lunch gravy amount boiled potatoes
The staff were friendly. I enjoyed the location. The beer garden was fabulous. The breakfast was great (especially the omelettes!).
I had sunday lunch and thought it was overpriced. Gravy covered the entire plate. I would have preferred it on the side. The roast potatoes seemed boiled, not roasted, unusual.

generous breakfast fresh options delicious food
i found the staff helpful. breakfast was generous with fresh options. the food in the restaurant was delicious and left me feeling content after each meal. locals gathered for drinks and shared stories, so i was like part of a community.
