Fantastic long weekend stay. Super friendly hospitality from Carol Anne and her well stocked gin bar We ate at the hotel restaurant one evening and WOW ...what an amazing meal cooked by husband chef. I can't describe it as anything other than the best meal I've eaten out in a very long time. Fresh, high quite produce cooked to 5* standard with attention to detail on every course. Excellent service from the waiting on team. Fabulous choice of wines. Breakfast was equally as wonderful. I'd definitely plan a return trip just for the food. Thank you so much for our perfect autumn stay in the beautiful
