Passed this place so many times and always thought it looked lovely from the outside and must try it….yesterday we did and so happy we finally tried it. Just as beautiful inside and the food was excellent.  …

Servers were great but the food is disappointing. When we expressed this, nothing was done. Chicken burger was incredibly spicy and did not indicate that on the menu. The gyros also came drenched in cucumber which was not specified on the menu. When the bill arrived, we asked if it could reflect the experience we had, the bar manager took a small amount off. On the whole, a disappointing experience and we won't be returning.

The rooms let this stay down. The matress was years old, open springs, and very uncomfortable. The carpet in the bedroom had stains on it, and the bathroom had wobbly floor tiles. The room looked good at first glance. However, they were in need of up dating.The staff were lovely and very attentive and helpful.

Walked in and asked waitress could we have coffees. Hadn't decided if we would want to eat yet. Very unfriendly welcome, well no welcome! Told "Oh you only want coffees" then told to find a table without cutlery even though there were only one couple sat down and one person stood at the bar. Decided to order some drinks and snacks but then told we couldn't have some of the sides unless I ordered a main meal. Very poor service, very unfriendly, definitely will not be returning or recommending. However we will be telling our family and friends about our dreadful experience 😲😑.

New to area and walked in. 5 members of staff chatting at bar and not one of them greeted us so we sat at a table. Waited ten minutes with no one attending the table. When we asked, the waitress brought the manager who said they couldn't seat us for an hour and a half despite there being at least 5 empty tables. Not a good first impression and likely won't be back for the above reasons. Could have been easily rectified with staff paying attention to arriving guests. Never a truer sentiment than you don't get a second chance to make a first impression. ..
