A great 2 days/nights at Tim's lovely Lock Up. The whole place takes you back in time wth its old world charm. Tim's hospitality can not be faulted, with a lovely breakfast : He had Salmon & scrambled egg Bagel, and I chose Tomato, bacon, mushroom and toasted home baked bread. A selection of fruit yoghurts & cereal before hand,... More

We stayed in the Old Lockup for two nights. Tim is an excellent host and his breakfast was really delicious. But what I really can recommend is the 3 course dinner. Self made bread with bruscetta was really great, same applies for the sea bass with mashed potatoes and vegetabels and finally the pavlova was the overall kick. We had... More
