Great pizza, nice locally sourced food, very cosy log fire in winter or big outside space in the summer. We do like it, but it does host lots of families with children. Takeaway pizza or fish & chips.

One word. Yummy.
If your budget doesn't run to dinner or the spa, I'd recommend a pot of tea and home made biscuits...they work hard on the tiny details and treat everyone as special. Wander in the beautiful gardens.

Drinks & Nightlife
The food is good too, but primarily we go here to sit in the beautiful garden during the summer or in the cosy bar in winter. Mellow, jazzy background tracks in the bar, cosy log fire in the library.

This is called a church, but more like a cathedral...Abbey Gardens behind. If you're fortunate enough to catch the choir rehearsing, it's magical. The marriage place of many local worthies.
