amazing recommendation scenic driving routes knowledgeable guide
The staff was really good! jd gave amazing recommendations for hikes. scenic driving routes were excellent too. i did the isle of skye excursion with richard. He was very knowledgeable on history and geography!
I didn't like that beef main course much. It needs improvement. the beef consisted of four thin slices. It was slightly undercooked. a salty black garlic splodge overpowered everything!!!
