A Good Escape

favorite egg beautiful ambiance special service
Our dinner experience, though we were not hotel guests, impressed us greatly. The scotch egg became an instant favorite. It was my first time trying it, and I adored it. The restaurant's ambiance was beautiful, and the service made the evening special.
The shower pressure in the room was somewhat poor.
