Lovely old building and just a 10 minutes walk from the house along the river. Very nice food.

Although a restaurant you can just pop in for a coffee. Its near the park so you can have a wander and then a coffee in a lovely hotel. In the summer its lovely to sit out on the terrace. They do a lovely menu.

Another old time favourite of mine. I like being able to walk or drive and park outside and this ticks both boxes. You can have a drink, a coffee, a snack in the bar or a meal in the restaurant.

Shopping

Town is a short walk from the retreat with many many places to eat, visit, enjoy. I like the George Hotel for a drink and Marks and Spencers for some lovely food.

Luxury not far away although I would recommend a car if you are carrying bags home. A nice cafe for cakes, sandwiches, coffee etc.
