Fantastic Experience

unique decorationscooked chipsdelicious food
Our room, a superior double room, featured unique decorations and plenty of space. The food at Dexter's was delicious, with the lamb rump especially wonderful, accompanied by triple cooked chips. Breakfast included a cheese soufflé with cockles. This was unique and expertly prepared.
The hotel is expensive in both the accommodation and restaurant aspects.
