Star

The chef patron Andrew Pern, Michelin starred ,and his wife Jacqui who runs front of house, operate what is possibly one of the finest gastro-dining restaurant with rooms in England. Those lucky enough to have been able to book one of the eight individually styled rooms which come with chinese slate bathrooms/wetrooms, king sized beds, luxury egyptian cotton, Bang and Olufsen TVs etc, will experience their breakfast served in a specially built circular shaped building with a King Arthur-style round table seating 16. [you used to be able to book on their website and check availability, but now you have to phone up]. You can watch the chefs at work from a sitting area where they operate an honesty bar for residents. The 'pub' side of the business is very small and although you could go in for just a drink, it is really geared up to dining. The food as one would expect, is expensive, but well worth it. They have a helipad.

Probably my most favourite place to eat in the UK. I love it for its excellent food and great service. We've been half a dozen times over four years (it is over a hundred miles from our home!) and have always enjoyed a wonderful dining experience.
