On Your Doorstep and Dog Friendly Too!
The great advantage of being just off the coast is that you will find many of the places that have 'local' trade as their back-bone. This often translates into a far less hectic ambience, being much easier to grab a last-minute table and most importantly of all, a bigger smile on your Pets Face!
