“17 Wilmington Square immediately presents as a well-kept establishment right on the square, with the owners themselves a notable asset, genuinely friendly and keen to make guests feel welcome, which extends to their accommodating approach for pets. My exploration revealed the breakfast to be a highlight, offering a satisfying range of cooked-to-order options, though the coffee was noted as a point for potential improvement.”
