    This has quickly become our favourite place to eat! Every visit feels like a special occasion, and we’re always greeted with such warm, attentive service. The decor is just stunning – charming, cosy, and full of character. The seasonal menu is always a treat, with new dishes to discover every time we visit, each one crafted with such care and bursting with flavour. We also love the beautiful gardens, you can pick your own bund of flowers to take away in the spring/ summer-time! And let's not forget the wonderful little shop, offering homemade condiments and delightful gifts – it’s the perfect place to pick up something special. I can’t recommend it highly enough – an all-around gem!
