Crafers historical hotel, circa 1880. Now renovated and restored.
The Hotel has been thoughtfully decorated, retaining the best features of natural stone and brick walls oak floor,ceiling beams and roses, with three large open fireplaces two with Victorian style surrounds complete with original mantles. A huge black & white photograph of the hotel, as it was in bygone times with horses and carriages outside, can be seen from the bar and two dining areas. Many framed photo's on the walls, recall people and scenes from the early days. Altogether cosy, charming and full of ambience. We ordered for lunch from a good varied menu, two soups, cauliflower and tomato, both soups were served in bowls with fresh warm rolls. The tomato soup would have to be up there with the best I have tasted. Thick, tasty and very easy on the palate, my wife enjoyed very much her choice cauliflower soup, it was also very well prepared, creamy and tasty. Sitting by the open fire, enjoying this well prepared lunch, experiencing excellent coffees makes for a very relaxing interlude. We shall return one evening for dinner.
