We stopped here for lunch after visiting Iona. It's a charming place with a cozy fireplace. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Avocado poached eggs on toast and my husband had the tuna sandwich. Both dishes were delicious and high-quality.

I visited this restaurant a couple of times while staying at Fidden Farm. The pints were great, and the food was delicious. We booked in advance and our table was ready for us. Bringing our dog along was no problem. We were fortunate to be there on a Thursday night with Callie, who was fantastic and provided a local touch to our dining experience.
