ideal location unique decor scottish breakfast dining area
the location proved ideal, mere minutes from the playhouse theatre. i found the decor quite unique and well kept. a scottish breakfast started each day well, and the inclusion of a tv in the dining area added convenience. breakfast included various other selections too.
