Afon

Modern Cuisine

£££

Set into the hillside, this attractive country house was built for a Lancashire industrialist around 1860 and is surrounded by beautiful terraced gardens and woodland. Its original features include a wood-panelled former billiards room, which now acts as the drawing room; follow this through into the restaurant, where you'll find the best seats are in the conservatory. The cooking's strength is drawn from the prime quality produce, be that Cornish monkfish or naturally delicious fruits for dessert. Stay overnight to make a proper occasion of your visit.

The Fanny Talbot

Modern British

£££

Nestled in the heart of a Welsh seaside town, this modern gastropub has a cosy, unpretentious feel with simple yet comfortable fixtures and fittings like faux-leather banquettes and padded velvet chairs. The cooking is underpinned by the chefs’ strong classical technique and skilled handling of prime seasonal produce; Highland venison with a textbook jus and girolles is the perfect example. There are comfortable rooms available if you’re looking to stay the night.
