Inside, the mezzanine and old stone give it a light and open feel even though we were in at night when it was raining. We only had drinks, although people had eaten there on other occassions and spoke highly of the meals (and when boys wax lyrical about steak, you know it's worth going back for! .

Not a complete disaster as others enjoyed their breakfasts but overall felt this could have been a more pleasurable visit.
