The main courses at this restaurant were fantastic, delicious, and enjoyable. The drinks were also good, and the service was fairly efficient. However, the dessert was disappointing. It was supposed to be a sundae but looked like the ingredients had just been thrown together carelessly in an old glass. It took as long to arrive as the main courses, which made me think they had run out and hastily put something together. Despite this, I would still order the main courses again. The hosts were friendly, so I would definitely consider going back.

So glad we found this place! Amazing food with a beautiful view from the garden. One of the best roasts I had, and the cake was absolutely delicious. Well worth it.

Amazing location with such lovely views. Food was good. Friendly waiter put us at ease! Seafood grill special was good. Sticky toffee pudding was excellent. And 3 of us enjoyed the mini-pud with coffee… just the right amount of brownie when you’re stuffed with lasagne. All in all a lovely lunch.

Fabulous lunch, just what we needed after a hike over the ridge from Cefn Onn. Great service also Gave us enough energy to walk to Ruperra Castle

What an absolute gem of a place... The food was outstanding, my partner had Lasagna, and I had the seafood grill, I would say maybe a little bit more fish as the price didn't reflect the amount of seafood I had. But overall a must visit if you are in the area or wish to try for yourself.
