Zeferellis is a true multi-purpose meeting place in Ambleside, the English Lake District. During the day it is a high class coffee shop, and in the evening it transforms into an excellent vegetarian restaurant. There is an attached cinema with several screens, and is one of the few in the area. They also have regular [...]
The Applecross Inn and Campsite; Scotland
on May 8, 2011
The Applecross Inn is an incredibly good pub restaurant in a tiny village in Wester Ross, Scotland.

The licensees are a mature couple and listening to them [...]

Durable, versatile and feature packed, it has been thoroughly tested throughout. Suffering from a great deal of abuse, extremes of weather, rough handling and my obsession with trying to squeeze just one [...]
