River View Guest House, Jacuzzi, Boat, Fire Hire

Situated within the splendid Great Fosters hotel – itself surrounded by beautiful formal gardens which you'd be wise to walk around – The Tudor Pass is an impressive, intimate restaurant that's right at home in such a charming and characterful setting. The surprise tasting menu comes in two lengths and you'll be glad you went for the longer one once you try the wonderful seasonal cooking. Excellent ingredients are elevated by their well-crafted accompaniments, such as fallow deer with an intense red wine sauce, fried girolles and a sharp blackberry purée that cuts through the richness.
