Terrible. We were recommended to eat here because our B&B didn't offer food on Sunday nights. We were not welcome. There was no positivity in the staff and no checking to see how we were or how the food was. The food was sub par and after a complainf about a dessert we were told that it was the one we ordered. No acknowledgement of the complaint. Our coats were taken off us and at the end we were told the door to where they were was open and we could help ourselves. We were made to accept a booking at 6pm with the impression that they didn't have any other time slots and yet the restaurant was

This was my first experience at this hotel and was very pleasant. First & foremost, I want to say that these folks have great etiquette and superb morals. We had booked 2 rooms for 3 nights and had to leave a day earlier due to unforeseen circumstances. They could see that we were all stressed out and did not question us once. We were given a full refund for that one extra day, despite the booking being non-refundable. This simply says that these folks are not just after making money. Now to the other great things about our stay. The breakfast was excellent and all COVID regulations were followed
