Lucky enough to visit twice in 7 days. Both visits were perfection. I honestly good not pick fault with anything. A special place for that special evening.

Excellent local food, wine and service. Good selection of vegetarian and vegan options. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Voir le carte

A hidden gem, incredibly easy to get to but feels a world apart. A very classy renovation of an old estate into a modern hospitality venue, with excellent food and service to match. We visited for my Mum’s birthday celebration and it felt very special indeed. My single disappointment is that the waiters were still wearing masks, which I personally feel diminishes the humanity of service, and is not necessary. Otherwise, top top marks

I stopped by for an unexpected lunch while traveling and was thoroughly impressed. The scenery and grounds are stunning, and the venue is immaculate. The staff were polite and welcoming. The service was quick but felt unhurried, allowing for a relaxed experience. The meal was excellent, showcasing great attention to detail that really enhanced the dish. I was very impressed and would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area. Service: Dine-in; Meal type: Lunch; Price per person: £20–30.

I would echo a few of the other reviews on here in that the food is amazing, but the service is odd. Had booked prior and was shown to a lovely table and they took a drinks order , but that seemed to take a long time after ordering. Lack of staff available I think . Took a long time to order food also. Lots of different staff serving us also. I would sit everyone less spread out also and maybe sit us a bit nearer if a quiet day. It almost feels like you just get forgotten about . Service: 3 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Luxury, Great view, Romantic Voir le carte

Lovely place, with lots going on (wedding in another building, other dining rooms, drinks outside). Food was lovely, service was polite and friendly but something was going wrong between ordering drinks and receiving them. Half an hour before 1st drinks arrived, so no charge. Then ran out of the beer I was drinking (black sheep ipa , although the receipt says Estrella) and my wife's drink when asked if she would like sparkling or flat cherry blossom cordial , chose sparkling but received flat. We would still go though, mistakes happen. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £50–60 Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

We have visited twice, now. Once outside under the canvas canopy, with twinkling lights, blankets and heaters, and most recently in the beautiful restaurant. Each time the food was superb. It was inventive, tasty, beautifully presented, and all served with friendly efficient service. It’s not cheap, but perfect for a special occasion. We will definitely return. The whole estate and gardens are immaculate too. We spent roughly £40 a head for three people, including a starter, main course and drinks. We first discovered Middleton Lodge after having Sunday lunch highly recommended. We have yet to try that! Vegetarian options: Plenty of choice. The menu is divided up into land, Garden and sea.

We arrived frazzled because we drove around the grounds in the dark not knowing where to go. The signage inside the grounds is no help at all. Allow time for this if you haven't been before. Fortunately we had because we wanted a pre dinner drink in the bar before we ate. Even when we did arrive we weren't sure if we had arrived at the back entrance because we stood for ages with no welcome or acknowledgement. A very disappointing start to our evening. When someone did come they didn't take our coats. We went through to the snug for a drink. They gave us menus and went away. Later came back for our order. We got our drinks and ordered our food. Then very quickly afterwards we were asked to g... Voir le carte
