  • "Dining area was well-lit and clean."
  • "Nice family atmosphere... weather was also beautiful and sunny so added to the overall impression."

Cons:

  • "No clear cons mentioned specifically about child-friendly facilities."

  • "Sadly the soft play is currently closed, several of the beers were off, the soft drink dispenser was only partly working."
