The soundtrack for the afternoon was likewise; I think I expected some form of ambient trance and, this is not a joke, "Down in New Orleans" from Disney's "Princess and the Frog" played during our appetizer course (we thought this was hilarious and awesome). With regard to drinks, the seasonal Sorrel Daiquiri was my friend's favorite and the wine selection was very interesting with lots of English and Welsh options. I ordered off of the vegetarian menu and I didn't miss meat for a heartbeat--and, as a bonus, they grow, harvest, and serve a number of vegetables from their own property. It can feel like a financial investment, and it's certainly out of the way, but well worth it.

Stayed here in October 2015 with my husband as a special treat. He grew up in the area and had…read morewanted to return to try it - glad we did! A very warm welcome awaited us, and we were shown to our room where freshly-baked warm Welshcakes awaited us. I took a leisurely bath and got ready for our tasting menu dinner. The food was phenomenal - having eaten shortly beforehand at Tom Kitchin's in Edinburgh, aspects of this meal were even better. The canapes, the cocktails, the bread, the nice touch of the nettle macaron to send you off to bed - all amazing. The service was really exceptional, really fantastic. They were also happy to accommodate my dietary requirements and substitute dishes, which was great. The only downside to dinner was that the chef patron walked out of the kitchen and straight past us (and then back to kitchen) without greeting any of the diners - seemed a bit odd when he wasn't really that busy and there were only 4 of us. It didn't mar our enjoyment of the meal, but would have been an "icing on the cake" touch. The chap who was in charge of service was really brilliant - his recommendations were spot-on. The dining room is very small, only one other couple were dining at the same time of us - the atmosphere was a little weird as they appeared to have fallen out before dinner! But we had a great time, despite my partner having a terrible cold. We had a great night's sleep in the comfortable bed, and then breakfast next morning was another culinary triumph. I can't wait to go back soon!

The rooms were en suite and they were exceptionally clean. There was standard tea and coffee making facilities available! The breakfast in the morning was fantastic. A good selection of available choices with extras such as fruit salad, cereal etc. thrown in at no extra cost. Overall, I thought this place was great. If i was going back to this area, I would definitely consider staying here again.

If you want a relaxing few days away from the hustle and bustle, this location is perfect. You can cycle, walk or hire a canoe to venture out onto the fierce rapids or just take the boat across the river and settle down in the Saracens Head Pub with a local brewed beer and a bag of crisps. Beautiful scenery and forest walks, great pubs nearby and lots of peace and quiet. Check the website for availability.

Be aware that the drive up to the car park is quite steep, and coming down the underside of the front of my car scraped on the tarmac. The food was fine: 2 x Lager Shandy - £3.55 each 1 x bottle of Pino Grigio - £14.50 Starters - Mushrooms - £5.50 (question value give the portion) Whitebait - £5.95 (EXCELLENT PORTION) Mains - 2 x Roast Pork Sunday Lunches - £11.95 each Lots of vegetables on a separate dish - carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, and cabbage; perfectly cooked. Also on the plate was roast potatoes, stuffing and a parsnip. The crackling was perfect and so was the pork. Sweet - Sticky toffee pudding with ice cream - £5.00 (Average to good, reasonable price). Total £61.95. Left a tip of £3.00 and reflected the service, as that amount wasn't a compliment. Would I return? No. The service was quite slow, and difficult to get their attention. We could have done with some salt for the vegetables, but it wasn't offered. I mentioned it at the end of the meal, and was told I could have asked, but if I can't get their attention.... There was no table check, which would have helped with the above. My wife sat on an old pew-like bench, which she found uncomfortable. I then noticed in the corner of the bench there were cobwebs. Not something my wife needed pointing out, as she scared of spiders. The table was sticky and I used serviettes to rest my arm on. Difficult to know why, as I noticed the table being cleaned close to me. I can only guess that cleaning agent used, reacts with either wood, or table veneer. Seems to allow dogs in the restaurant, not a problem to me, who doesn't like dogs. Just in case others have any issues.

This place is right off the main (very narrow winding country) Road. The view from outside to the left is a beautiful hill and trees, dotted with happy sheep and to the right is an old castle. (View is exactly what you're looking for if you're visiting the south England countryside, breathtaking if that wasn't clear. The service was charming and friendly and casual although the restaurant could be romantic or family friendly depending on who your with. The ambience goes both ways. It is an old coach house dating about 300 years with a lot of modern amenities. Very charming and cozy. Food is excellent in our opinion. We've been traveling from London through the countryside for a few weeks. We got the steak and ale pie, Beef lasagna and several children's meals. Everyone was very happy with their selection. I want to add we have some picky customers here. One of the party is very conscientious of organic clean food and can discern taste between fake and real, and there are three children- that's self-explanatory! The children drank some squash and sparkling lemonade's and we all stuffed ourselves and agreed it was the best meal we've had since starting our tour of the countryside.
