    We had a really nice Sunday lunch for mother's Day. They accommodated an extra person with no notice very kindly. The food was excellent. The service was thoughtful and not overbearing. The decor was tasteful and I appreciated their reuse of materials like jars.

    An amazing place to dine and stay overnight. The beautiful countryside views from our room watching the sunrise are wonderful. Dining here is amazing, a super a la carte menu and bar menu too. I'd recommend staying here. Super staff, very welcoming, helpful and friendly, thank you for making our romantic stay one to remember. 😁👍

    We loved it. Really delicious and interesting food but not over complicated. Superb apple tart tartin to finish which was enough to feed four but we did our best between the two of us. Great value.
