The genteel environment of a Georgian manor-house hotel is a very good starting point for a memorable dining experience. Peterstone Court has the added advantage of having access to the freshest produce from its own farm, which it uses to produce excellent modern bistro fare. Swing by at lunchtime for a good-value set menu (two/three courses £17/20).
