The Oak Room at the hotel typically hosts a craft fair every Saturday while the farmers' market takes place in the town square. I had forgotten to bring refreshments for myself. A very kind lady at the reception ensured that I was able to get some cold juice and later some coffee and water. It was a hot day and I could see how busy she was, but she went out of her way to help me. I am extremely grateful. Thank you, Ali @WischannArts Wee Smiles.

Almost £40 for the steak we usually have, now served with a salad, no thanks. So we went with the pie instead. Its become REALLY EXPENSIVE. Really wasn't good at all, really dry with the worst chips and runny peas. Won't be returning. This place use to be good. Dunno what they are playing at but that's more customers you just lost!!!!

The desserts and drinks were also lovely. Excellent service from Paige who was very busy but always so helpful and efficient. The lady at reception was also very helpful when we booked the day before.
