"Gidleigh Park is a country house located in a wooden wally in Devon. It is quite hard to reach the place on a very narrow road, which is very beautiful, but apparently during the winter larger cars can’t even get there. Gidleigh Park houses a two-Michelin star restaurant with Michael Caines as the main chef (the restaurant was recently voted number 1 restaurant in the UK by the Harden’s Sunday Times Food List 2014). Gidleigh Park also has bedrooms (apparently all individual in style and design) and you can stay there for the night and then wonder in the gardens of the estate, which I saw some people doing when I was there. I was visiting Devon and my boyfriend chose Gidleigh Park for lunch on a Sunday and we took the long and narrow road to Gidleigh Park. The inside of the house was very old and had a lot of charm. It had eclectic art and antiques and different style rooms, the lounge had different tables, chairs and the bar was done up in a completely different style. Gidleigh Park showcased British charm and elegance. You could chose to have their signature sample menu for £140/ person, but instead we went for the much cheaper version, their lunch set menu for £44/ person for 3 courses (you could also have 4 courses for £57). Also note choosing dishes a la carte would set you back £115, so the lunch menu seems like the cheapest way how to enjoy Gidleigh Park. We did not have any wine, but apparently thy have an amazing wine cellar. The three course lunch menu included a small appetizer, a starter and a main course and you could choose from one of the 3 starters and one of the 3 main courses. Our appetizer was “goat’s cheese foam with beetroot jelly, candied walnuts and granny smith apple”, but as my boyfriend does not like goats’ cheese he had a tuna tartar as his appetizer which actually looked better than my appetizer. I was not to"

"Sadly we didn’t enjoy our meal as much as we’ve had there previously and it’s not the cheapest place to eat. I had polenta ‘chips’ for a starter and maybe my expectations were too high but I didn’t expect brick like chunks of polenta. The dip was was lovely though. Our main course came out almost immediately after our starter had been taken away. I had the mushroom and chickpea burger with vegan halloumi and chips. I have a suspicion that the chef cooked our mains too early,hence why it came out immediately but sadly the burger was quite sloppy and vegan halloumi was so oily and tasteless and all of the food was warm not hot. It could just be that I was unlucky with the dishes and it was just that I didn’t like what I’d ordered. I would love to see normal cheese (vegetarian options) rather than just lumping vegetarians in with vegans normally not a problem but our meal here tonight just highlighted how having the choice would be nice. I did mention all this to the server. The staff are really lovely here and the service was excellent so it’s a real shame that on this occasion the food let us down."

"We popped in on our way back from Cornwall. Great place to stop for some lunch. We enjoyed baguettes and chips while enjoying the view of the river on a very rainy Monday. Prices were very reasonable considering the location. Staff were friendly. We will be returning in the future on a nice day to enjoy the walk and drink."

"A real old country Inn the absolute social centre of this lovely town running hosting music, community events and the annual film festival. We've eaten here several times and the food has always been first class and reasonably priced. Their local beers and ciders are well kept and the staff are always friendly and helpful; always biscuits for visiting dogs!"

"We arrived after cycling up the biggest hill ever, stopped for coffee and cake and were met with such a lovely welcome. The cake which the other half ordered (sour cherry and pistachio) was just gorgeous Will definitely visit again"
