Food Scene
Lovely old building and just a 10 minutes walk from the house along the river. Very nice food.
The Old Siege House Bar and Brasserie
75 East StLovely 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.

You can walk here from the retreat or drive up for another view of nature. Several access points to get into the park.
