Alas, i can not as the beauty of the visuals she creates are singularly hers alone. You can't blame a guy for trying though! Rosie's photography is a step above her contemporaries. I'm not going to witter on about how lush and perceptive it all is. Do that for yourself and take a detailed look at her website. She's already winning awards, so don't sleep on her talent. There's an undeniable depth of quality to the quantity of her work, so if you want truly timeless visuals of any occasion, get in touch with her.

Absolutely wonderful experience to celebrate our son's graduation from Exeter. The tasting menu is…read moreexpensive but worth every penny as the seafood is sourced locally, delivered daily and magicked into divine, sublime dishes. Add to that mix the excellent service made the entire evening both entertaining and educational. Incredible knowledge of each wines provenance and creation, chosen in person from the small vineyards he has visited and sourced himself. Elevated the food to absolute perfection. Wonderful chef, supported by an incredibly talented team with fascinating knowledge of both food and wine.

The luncheon menu offers an affordable and elegant opportunity to sample some of the finest food in the region. We each had a different dish and all the food was outstanding. We would love to return and stay overnight and sample one of the tasting menus. 9.5 out of 10 Excellent

Set along a winding track in the Devon countryside, it's a very comfortable, fashionably shabby,…read morebut some areas could do with a little investment. Large guest lounges, small bar area, great views over the countryside. The room I had was very large, slightly dated, but no full shower in the bathroom. Dinner in the restaurant from a wide menu was pretty good, but not gourmet standards. Breakfast was good. A part shareholder is Nigel Wray , connected to saracens Rugby, and the hotel is full of sporting paintings and photos, mostly cricket and rugby, along with other memorabilia. Staff were courteous, reception can be rather matter of fact, depending who is on duty.

We decided to try the Mariners at the top of silver street in Lyme Regis and were pleasantly…read moresurprised and impressed by the warm service and great food. Also a custom request for an adult portion of Scampi and Chips was handled without a worry. There was a fabulous 8 Oz Rump Steak cooked to prefection with field mushroom and chips and a Seafood Platter of Three Filets of Fish (Bream, Sea Bass, Hake (I think!)) with lovely fresh large mussels and Prawns. The decor was quite modern and the service impeccable, with local knowledge, pride and laughs. Also the garden out the back looks stunning from the photos however we didn't have a chance to check it.

We stayed in Room 1 which is beautifully appointed, large bright and with a great bed. The second bathroom also has antique bath tub which is perfect. The grounds are gorgeous and we took a great hike through the nearby deer park. The staff is friendly and helpful and management really caters to every guest desire. The full English breakfast exceeds expectations as does the tasting menu and service at dinner. If you wanted to be treated like royalty, stat at the Summer Lodge!

Went again last week, place, service and ambience was still brilliant, however the meals we chose…read morewere both great and tasty we both struggled to order, we found that the menu wasn't that meat friendly!! More vegetarian options and it for what it was was pricey seeing though they grow it in their own gardens. Would still recommend going as a special occasion but save up first!!

Another absolute gem for the Pig franchise and the newest addition to the chain of Pig hotels…read more Having already stayed at the Pig near Bath and loved it so much we were worried that the newest Pig might not live up to our high expectations but it did not disappoint. We were lucky to get a comfy luxe room in the converted stable yard away from the main house. The conversion has been done beautifully, keeping quirky details from the original stables the rooms surround a beautiful peaceful courtyard which we very much enjoyed sitting in enjoying a cup of tea. The room was also gorgeous with a four poster bed, SMEG fridge, Nespresso machine, fully stocked (albeit pricey) larder and the most incredible monsoon shower. All of the Pigs operate a 25 mile menu, meaning that they grow and source all of the food served within a 25 mile radius. The gardens where they grow herbs, fruits and vegetables can all be explored by guests and are truly beautiful, I found something I just had to take a picture of around every corner! The food we had was all excellent, breakfast, lunch and dinner! I am also obsessed with the applemint mocktail, so refreshing! The service and attention to detail really was amazing, they were aware of and remembered each time I ordered that I had a dairy allergy and always helpful in amending items on the menu for me. When I was too unwell one morning to make it to breakfast but they hadn't yet started serving lunch one of the members of staff kindly found us some complimentary tea and cakes to munch on. We were also super happy when room service restocked the in room tea bags that they put in extra of the type we had been using. Finally don't go and not take advantage of the potting shed treatment rooms, two sheds have been transformed into quirky treatment rooms where we both enjoyed the most luxurious full body massages. In my opinion the Pigs are somewhere you can just relax as soon as you check in, knowing that you are in capable hands. They are a little pricey and admittedly the majority of the cars in the car park were a collection of very fancy Land Rovers and Convertibles but the staff and service weren't pretentious or stuffy at all. The whole vibe allowed us to relax in an absolutely beautiful setting and the service was fabulous. If you could please consider opening one East of the M25 that would be much appreciated!
