Update on Bank holiday weekend availability.

A couple of breakfast tables available on Sunday and Monday.

Due to two large group cancellations, we have had some Afternoon Tea tables come free for Sunday and Monday. Because time is short, please telephone to secure your table. So very sorry to people who have previously requested tables and been turned away - these are both due to unexpected circumstances. Photograph shows the current tea for two.
First come, first served.
