"Only discovered this place today. Will definitely return, highly recommended. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble, food and drinks faultless. As for atmosphere, it was so good we stayed so long the shops we intended to visit had actually closed by the time we left!!"
