"My husband booked this idyllic cottage for our Valentine 's meal. We were made immediately welcome and offered drinks in the cosy bar. I met the resident dog and although I don 't usually 'do ' dogs he was absolutely adorable. The menu was a little limited with four mains, one meat, one chicken, one fish and one vegetarian option, however all sounded equally as tempting.Service was exceptional, we were served quickly and efficiently by the owners, who were very attentive and yet not overly obtrusive. We were seated in the restaurant, by a window which overlooked the floodlit gardens. Our table was decorated with red flowers and candlelit which I thought was nice. We were the only people in the restaurant, which made it feel like my husband had booked the whole place especially for me. However, it was hard to understand why this was so, given the quality of the venue and the food.Starters were excellent, the main was very good, with the best carrots I have every tasted (apparently simply glazed in butter). Only minor gripe would be that the desserts were not quite up to the same standard as the other two courses, but this in no way detracted from what was a very special meal.Prices were about what you would expect for a special occasion, but not something you would perhaps choose to pay everyday. All in all I would thoroughly recommend the restaurant and would quite happily return. The owners were keen to let us know that they serve Pimms on the lawn in the summer and this sounds very tempting. My advice is to give this a go, make an evening of it and enjoy both the hospitality of the owners, the overall excellent cuisine and the intimate atmosphere. Enjoy!"
