What Julie McDermott likes about Old Wives' Tales:
What a very special place to visit on our holiday. Early evening on Easter Monday, the atmosphere was so homely, our hosts welcoming and helpful. The food was superb!! Sorry we were too full for deserts, they looked amazing. We are so glad we found you. I would not hesitate in recommending you. View all feedback.
