This quintessential country house is surrounded by 35 acres of glorious gardens; it was, after all, once home to pioneering gardener William Robinson. Ornate ceilings and fireplaces feature in the beautiful lounges, while the restaurant sits within a striking contemporary extension. The kitchen garden provides the restaurant’s heartbeat, with the fruit (and veg) of its labours being used across the carefully executed dishes that appeal to both the taste buds and the eyes.
