The inn is located opposite Abbey Gardens, a beautiful spot for walks. It is a short walking distance from all restaurants and other amenities (i especially liked that it was close to everything). Market Hill and shops are easily accessible.

I ate at the pub one night and enjoyed my meal and the service. Breakfast included items requiring requests rather than a self-serve buffet. This approach possibly saves costs and reduces food waste.
