We actually stayed in the B&B in one of the ground floor rooms, dined in and the next morning enjoyed our breakfast. The surroundings are of breathtaking beauty and there are plentiful walking areas nearby. The surrounding buildings and cottages are charming offering a variety of options.
Our room was nice, the beds were comfortable, everything was spotlessly clean and overall enjoyable.
The food was super tasty and the attention to quality was appreciated. The breakfast was the standard full British, missing local produce but still nice.
Will certainly visit again later when the forbidden garden will open.

This restaurant had been recommended by family so we were eager to try it out, and wow is all I can say! The staff were really friendly, ensuring we were always catered for, as soon as our drinks were empty we were asked if we wanted another even though the restaurant was busy and fully booked. The wine was presented to us professionally each time. We visited on Sunday so it was the Sunday Lunch menu, and the food was on another level! There were several options, but you can get any 2 courses for £28 or 3 courses for £32, which we felt was a great deal considering the quality of the food was amazing. This restaurant also offers a vegan/vegetarian menu with plenty of choices meaning there is something for everyone! 2 of us opted for the two course and two opted for the three course.
To start, we all had the ham scrumpet, (pulled ham in breadcrumbs, with a hollandaise like sauce and a runny poached egg on top). This was very tasty and the egg was cooked to perfection, not too runny and not too hard.
For the mains, we ordered; the beef roast dinner, lamb roast dinner & the silver bream, prawn and salmon fishcake. The roast dinners were beautifully presented, the chef actually carves the meat in front of you at the table for you. The Yorkshire pudding which was probably the best Yorkshire pudding we’ve ever tasted, we think it had been cooked in beef dripping. The vegetables which consisted of greens, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese and other roast veggies were placed on the tables in bowls so you could help yourself. The only minor thing that I could fault the dinner on was that you didn’t get much gravy, however I’m sure if we’d of asked for some more we would’ve been given some. For dessert we had the blackcurrant pavlova and the apple and cinnamon bread and butter pudding served with custard and ice cream. I would never normally opt for a bread and butter pudding but this dessert was so tasty! I loved that it had the apple and cinnamon flavouring to it as well. The pavlova was also very good, a light and refreshing to end the meal. Both of these desserts were also beautifully presented.
Overall, everything about this place was fantastic, from the food to the service, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely return here!
Situated in the old stables on pughill farm estate. Great for groups, families or couples. Great menu consisting of classic pub grub options. It’s done really nice though and a big step up from regular pub fare. Nice lighting and good service. Brews their own pale ale which is lovely. Really nice place for some food. Reasonably priced. 🐎 🥘 🍻
Gorgeous restaurant and the food was really nice. Not no over priced. They was a wedding on so it was quite busy but still the service was excellent. We only had the fish and chips it was lovely and fresh and only £10.00 would definitely recommend.big thank you to the chef and team

We decided to go here as a day out by sticking a pin in a map and finding somewhere close-by. There was plenty of parking but we found the entrance to the restaurant difficult to find and the signage was a bit confusing. It could do with some clearer landmarking outside.
The result was a really nice meal in a fairly quiet restaurant in a location we'd never been to before. The restaurant was very nicely finished out, warm, light, and comfortable. Every part of the building is immaculate from the reception area through to the toilets. It was fairly quiet when we arrived for lunch but they later put a group of guys in the stall next to us, which increased the volume tremendously!
We had the halloumi burger with chips (vegetarian menu), and fish and chips. The burger had a large chunk of halloumi in it, which was nice, although I prefer it a little more grilled than mine was. I thought the portion of chips was a little meagre, compared to the portion that came with the fish for the same price. And I would prefer my food to be served on a plate, not a chopping board.
The fish and chips was generous: plenty of fish and plenty of chips. All were well cooked and the fish was properly boned.
The tea and coffee were reasonably priced (£2.50 ea.), considering the main lunch courses were £18 each.
Overall, it was a great experience (probably nicer for being off-season, I imagine it gets really busy when the tourists are out) in a lovely venue and actually probably about the right price.
We stayed here last night, we enjoyed the day having lunch and a wine in the beautiful courtyard, it was the perfect setting. We also had a meal in the evening the steak was amazing, the dessert was exquisite. The presentation of the food even the breakfast, had the wow factor. It was a hot day and the Aircon in the room was an added bonus, the room was equipped with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The staff were really polite and welcoming, they made you feel at home. We've stayed at many places across the country and this has to be the best. We will definitely be back again. Great relaxing atmosphere, welcoming and great food! We couldn't fault a thing.

We stayed the weekend, the room and the breakfast were 5 star. The room was fab and very clean, comfy bed, really nice bathroom.
Dinner was good, but for me not as good as the rest of the stay. The table for two was a little cramped. Our order for white wine, came with a good, cold wine bucket, but that bucket was dumped on the table leaving little room to eat. The service was mostly brilliant, but a bit slow to remove used items from the, small, table. My sirloin steak was cooked perfectly medium rare but was not rested, it was also tough, it didn’t seem like there had been any attempt to cook off and crisp the fat, which was, therefore, inedible. There was a whole tomato, it was cooked, but not sliced, so no evaporation of the water in a tomato, I found it edible but boring, a good tomato, sliced and the juice reduced, would have been much nicer. The garlic/butter sauce was great.
Breakfast was great, all hot (surprisingly unusual), beans in a pot, so no contamination of the nice, runny, egg yolk 😀. Sausages and black pudding were excellent. The bacon was the only let down, the fat slightly burnt rather than rendered, the meat dry as no rendered fat soaked in. To be fair, this seems to be a common issue with back bacon, that most people seem to prefer. I’d rather have good, thick cut, streaky. The toast was lovely, the butter better than most, very tasty.
Amazing food. The steak was superb and the breakfast was great too. Lunch was tasty in the court yard .Had a great stay in a air-conditioned room. Many thanks to all the staff for been so welcoming and helpful, we will definitely be returning soon.
My husband booked The Saddle Room for Valentines night as he knows it is one of my favourite places to eat. What a lovely surprise we both had when we arrived. The whole restaurant was decorated in a Valentines theme with beautiful red heart balloons and red bunting, even silk rose petals on all the tables. The food was delicious with the choice of special dishes themed special for the day. The staff were all very friendly and efficient, and I would like to give the kitchen staff a special mention as they work very hard behind the scenes producing high quality food for reasonable prices. What is particularly good is that you have the choice of pub grub prices or slightly higher prices for extra special dinners. Great venue, great food, great location!
It's a lovely quiet place but the food is fantastic and the staff were very accommodating considering we arrived just before the lunch service closed! (Thanks for still serving us)
Their dairy & gluten free menu is actually pretty extensive which was great for us too!
