A masterclass in vegetarian eating...I don’t even like beetroot, and the beetroot dish was one of the best things I have ever eaten!
The staff were incredibly warm, gentle, and attentive, making us feel truly welcomed and cared for without ever being intrusive.
The attention to detail in how everything is styled here is absolutely fantastic, what a gorgeous interior.
