Better than expected - good location, quiet, very well presented, courtyard is a great place to relax and have a nice glass of wine.We have a bit of an issue of walking so drove into town, which only takes a couple of minutes, parking was no problem at all, this was mid week, carparks only about half full. Loads of places to eat so bit of a lucky dip - we were lucky.Local places not so hot - for us not the best experience.However would certainly like to return here.
