This quintessential country house is surrounded by 35 acres of glorious gardens; it was, after all, once home to pioneering gardener William Robinson. Ornate ceilings and fireplaces feature in beautiful lounges, while the restaurant sits within a striking contemporary extension. The kitchen garden provides the restaurant’s heartbeat and Chef George Blogg knows how to get the best out of it. Carefully executed, measured dishes appeal to both the taste buds and the eyes, with their assured flavours and colourful presentation.
