I am almost afraid to recommend this place as once you discover it for yourself the rest of us will have difficulty getting a table! The proprietor, David, has such a pleasant and friendly manor you feel that you were invited to dinner with old friends when you arrive. He certainly knows a thing or too and is happy to explain the menu and wine list for as long as you want to listen. I was staying there while on business so can tell you that the breakfasts were served with the same care and attention to presentation and flavour as the wonderful dinners. The rooms are comfortable, genteel and tastefully decorated - such a pleasant experience that I intend to return with husband in tow for a short break to Richmond. The town is well worth visiting too!
