While staying at the motel we had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant. Large portions were served of wholesome food. Staff were friendly and accomodating. Old english pub feel with trout based history. Very fitting due to the area.
Lovely breakfast with well cooked eggs.

I was not sure what to expect in this little town, but this is a gem! The staff provide great service. We started with the grilled halloumi to share and it was so delicious we wished we had gotten two. I had the steamed mussels appetizer and they were 5 inches long! The waitress said that they get even larger as the temperature warms up. I also had the calamari appetizer and it was over a bed of greens - Tasty. My daughter had the zucchini and feta fritters - she said it was good and more filling than she anticipated. The fish and chips was good by my son and the salad with chicken was just what my hubby wanted. Everyone was happy and we had a very pleasant evening. I would recommend
