A very welcome stop in rain and mist. Scones and tea were great, staff friendly and helpful.

Stopped off here for a break from driving and ended staying for about 3 hours. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and locals. Very relaxed vibe and good musician.

We made a quick stop at this cozy spot. I tried the bacon and cabbage, and my partner went for the steak. Bacon chips on the side. Portions were generous enough for the price, though the food was nothing special. Waited a while for everything to arrive. It was decent for a bite.
