A beacon of family-run fine dining since 1962, this very popular village restaurant is known for food that's inventive and seasonal. The chef is Brian O'Donnell, whose menus feature local produce and meats such as venison. Antique-filled bedrooms are sometimes available. During colder months, it's best to phone ahead as it sometimes shuts early in the week.
