Mark provides lovely displays of flowers to businesses on a rental basis and he changes them regularly. Customers have commented on the arrangements and it lifts an office to have nature around.
They have a nice dining room and it seems to cater mostly to the more senior patrons. Our meals were a schnitzel and a pasta, and both were fine. I did have to ask for some bread and it took some time to get any attention, but they were busy. Friendly staff and a popular hotel.
When our hot water unit died, I found Horncastle Plumbing online and they responded quickly. Cal and Scott replaced the unit and also fixed a minor gas leak from the meter very well. Since then, they have renewed all the pipework in our bathroom and installed new taps, shower etc. Both men are reliable, friendly and extremely professional - very highly recommended!!
We have been lucky enough to win a meat tray from Cimarostis on a couple of occasions and they've been quite good. There's usually enough meat for a couple of meals and their chops, sausages and patties are pretty good overall. Perhaps they could be a little more seasoned, as the meat tends to be quite bland, but as cooks, we can probably add that ourselves. Very nice people though!!
We've been to BarZaar several times now and highly recommend it. They have regular specials - the $12 schnitzel, chips and salad on Wednesdays is hard to beat, and they staff are friendly and helpful. We also have a regular meal with my craft group there and the large, round table, food and service is excellent.
My elderly mother lives with us and recently needed a new hairdresser who would come to our home. Marina arrived and we were both happy right from the start. Mum's hair was set, trimmed and dried very well - she was impressed. Quality products are used and the price was very fair given the fact it took an hour.
Approximate cost: $35
I had some free time after an appointment, so I had a hot chocolate here. This time all the people walking past didn't bother me and my drink was very nice. It's popular and not very quiet but good.
I'd forgotten how good this hotel is. Four of us had lunch and all meals were great - the steaks were cooked just right, as were the schnitzels. Friendly service and no pressure to leave means that we'll go back.
I was impressed by the welcome we received when I took my nine students there. Despite being slightly over the age for the free soft drinks, they were each given a cup - much appreciated. The food was good and there was a great variety.
Many people in our craft group do scrapbooking and I've been impressed with their projects. Many of them go to this store, so I had a look. A good range of craft supplies and friendly service impressed me. A great place to visit!
