We stopped in just before the Echo opened this morning, they offered us coffee to have there or takeaway(we were a bit cheeky arriving so early! but did stay and what a view from the top deck, oh nice coffee too).

The owners, Tim (who's bar chief and the cook) and his wife Denise are freindly and genuinely interested in looking after their customers and take great pride in... More
