Due to popular demand the Evening Menu is back!

This service is offered from 5 to 8pm where you can enjoy some local produce with a glass of wine or bubbly while watching the sunset from your own private outdoor decking area, within the comforts of your bedroom or the communal lounge with the wood burning stove.

Booking in advance is required as all ingredients are bought as fresh as possible.
