What User likes about The Staff Of Life:
3 of us all had cakes, the bark meat, the fish and the special duck and cranberry. Meals were nice at home made cake and served so hot it had to cool a bit before eating what was great. service with a smile of beautiful employees. 2 stayed overnight in a stunning 'home' room. will definitely go back. well done to get a little out of the way!.
