Living locally 6 of us came for dinner. It was delish, service excellent and a very warm welcome from all staff. Being foodies it was a delight to talk to the chef, who talks with real passion about the food they present.

The Cottage in the Wood is everything and more that you would wish for in a small country house hotel.We have stayed there on a number of occasions and have really enjoyed every one,our only regret having been that we couldn't stay longer.

The welcome was exceptional and the service continued with the same atmosphere and a point was made in making sure we also left with good memories of our visit. Many hotels and restaurants could learn from them on how to treat a customer. Can't see how... More
