马尔特豪斯小屋河塞文景观阳台

You’ll find this proudly run 13C manor house and its collection of characterfully converted barns located on a 300 acre farm. Attractive modern dishes showcase local ingredients in ambitious combinations – and for those who want to get hands-on there’s a cookery school. Bedrooms are stylish.

In finer weather, you must aim for a table on the terrace at this restaurant set within the famous The Cottage in the Wood hotel. Built – funnily enough – in 1919, it boasts one of the best panoramic views of the English countryside that you will find. The restaurant itself is a bright, stylish place serving both a tasting menu and an à la carte. A proudly British spirit shines through in the cooking, from the use of Exmoor caviar and Evesham asparagus to a butter sauce flavoured with English sparkling wine. The service is well-paced and the whole experience comes at a sensible price tag.
