"M&S is just across the road, but towards town there's a really good car valet and car wash place only £15 for both. Have a coffee whilst your car is being spruced up."

"Now has wifi make sure you've got your smart phone for a photo of your food."

"One of the oldest public houses in Britain. Great selection of ales. When I worked in Nottingham centre in the "hobbit building" we regularly held bored meetings in there. We went when we were bored."

"Great place to pop when shopping at Asda."

"Great place to meet for a business chat over a coffee or a meal. Spacious, friendly and delightful."

"If you stray just from the main path as you walk from the Abbey to the lake, there's a parallel path, bird feeders up, see Nuthatch, treecreeper, coal tit, blue tit and annoying squirrels."
