The food was excellent, but it was very small portions and quite expensive for the amount. Tasted excellent though. Really nice place and friendly personal.

My wife and I had a wonderful meal at the Gardner’s Cottage. It was the first time both of us ever had a set menu and it did not disappoint. Do not go here if you’re a picky eater, but if you want to have a good adventure, you’ll have one. The food was all nearly local as well. Every dish was delicious and a great combination of flavors. The staff was all very friendly and hospitable. Highly recommended.

We were visiting from the states and had an opportunity to enjoy dinner on a Friday night. No expectations other than the listing in the Michelen guide. The menu was a 5 course offering that had the added wine pairings. There was a small faux pas with the first wine delivery, but other than that the meal was excellent. The bread was served with a tasty strawberry butter that was a great start. We also enjoyed a crab tart, cod over crab bisque and carrots, venison that was incredibly tender and flavorful, and a dessert tart that included a berry assortment. We were fortunate to be seated next to two couples that shared conversation to make the meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommended. The price was commensurate with a starred restaurant but worth the price. Many thanks to the staff for an nice dinner experience.

Lovely lunch. 3 course Set menu plus shared cheese plate beautifully cooked, simple but delicious, and served with well priced matched wines. Bench seating and the small room means it’s quite noisy and not very private, but if you’re ok with that it’s a lovely room. Maybe felt a little rushed this time?
