We went here twice as it's just off the main roads and by the river. Sit outside by the river and have simple lunch plus a beer or 2.

Atmosphere at this nice cafe is great because of the river and the walk you can do. Very appealing restful environment.

Really nice place, with welcoming and kind owner. Cozy place to slowly sip wine, hidden in the trees' shadow next to the river.

Good range of beer. In a relaxing beer garden, nothing "flash", just chilled. The barman was very friendly.
