Really good Dining Experience

“During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at The Bothy, which boasts a beautiful ambiance. I was captivated by the décor reminiscent of a Victorian railway station. The food was good, especially the seafood chowder, which was the best I encountered throughout my travels. The nightly entertainment added a charming touch, making it feel like a local kitchen party.” view full review
