Didn't stay there, but did have an amazing meal! So tasty! The trout, hen-of-wood mushrooms main, and souffle were DIVINE!Portion sizes ideal and service delightful: attentive and kind. Excellent wine/s too.Highly recommend this venue for folks who like local cuisine with a fine, gastronomic, creative twist.

Cannot fault this restaurant. Wanted something special to celebrate with family and it really was superb. The food was absolutely sensational and the restaurant is beautiful! Chefs were so friendly and came to the table to serve- a real treat for us. Cannot recommend this highly enough. We had the set menu at lunch time and found it to be excellent value for the quality of food and experience.

We went for Sunday lunch which I would’ve given five stars except for the final event which turned out to be a ‘sting in the tail’. We had enjoyed excellent roast beef and all the trimmings and decided to have coffee and with a bonbon to finish. The waitress was lovely and after seeing that we enjoyed the bonbon asked we might like another one. We thought a ‘nice a treat to finish’. However, upon receiving the bill we found that being charged twice for coffee and bonbon. What a disappointment and would we like to give a gratuity on top of the 10% service charge? No thank you!

What a gem. We stayed here for two nights while attending a wedding nearby, and every aspect of our break was wonderful. The room was spacious, comfortable and beautifully designed. The food in the restaurant was delicious, creative and well presented. Breakfast was excellent and every member of the team was friendly, efficient and welcoming,
