We have been staying at the Wells Hotel for a week and very much enjoy it. We have one more night before heading home. We are here for a week long harp school.

Sounds like there was some issues with the last cafe operators but there certainly can be no complaints now. I eat there whenever I am in town. Good food, reasonable prices and clean atmosphere. Terry and Brenda told me they just took over in October.
