Fodor's Expert Review Watervale Hotel

It may look like a standard country pub from the outside, but step through the front door and you’ll find an entirely different story. Plentiful leather chesterfields, chaise longues, and a shimmering blue-and-gold pressed-tin bar set the scene for the valley’s best dining experience. The elevated pub food includes delights such as duck sliders, honey roasted pumpkin, and chicken, beef and fennel meatballs, while the degustation begins with an hour long tour of the owners’ organic, biodynamic farm where much of the produce is sourced.

The adjacent six-bedroom house is available for rent and is perfect for larger groups.
