Went again last week, place, service and ambience was still brilliant, however the meals we chose…read morewere both great and tasty we both struggled to order, we found that the menu wasn't that meat friendly!! More vegetarian options and it for what it was was pricey seeing though they grow it in their own gardens. Would still recommend going as a special occasion but save up first!!

Another absolute gem for the Pig franchise and the newest addition to the chain of Pig hotels…read more Having already stayed at the Pig near Bath and loved it so much we were worried that the newest Pig might not live up to our high expectations but it did not disappoint. We were lucky to get a comfy luxe room in the converted stable yard away from the main house. The conversion has been done beautifully, keeping quirky details from the original stables the rooms surround a beautiful peaceful courtyard which we very much enjoyed sitting in enjoying a cup of tea. The room was also gorgeous with a four poster bed, SMEG fridge, Nespresso machine, fully stocked (albeit pricey) larder and the most incredible monsoon shower. All of the Pigs operate a 25 mile menu, meaning that they grow and source all of the food served within a 25 mile radius. The gardens where they grow herbs, fruits and vegetables can all be explored by guests and are truly beautiful, I found something I just had to take a picture of around every corner! The food we had was all excellent, breakfast, lunch and dinner! I am also obsessed with the applemint mocktail, so refreshing! The service and attention to detail really was amazing, they were aware of and remembered each time I ordered that I had a dairy allergy and always helpful in amending items on the menu for me. When I was too unwell one morning to make it to breakfast but they hadn't yet started serving lunch one of the members of staff kindly found us some complimentary tea and cakes to munch on. We were also super happy when room service restocked the in room tea bags that they put in extra of the type we had been using. Finally don't go and not take advantage of the potting shed treatment rooms, two sheds have been transformed into quirky treatment rooms where we both enjoyed the most luxurious full body massages. In my opinion the Pigs are somewhere you can just relax as soon as you check in, knowing that you are in capable hands. They are a little pricey and admittedly the majority of the cars in the car park were a collection of very fancy Land Rovers and Convertibles but the staff and service weren't pretentious or stuffy at all. The whole vibe allowed us to relax in an absolutely beautiful setting and the service was fabulous. If you could please consider opening one East of the M25 that would be much appreciated!

This is a very pretty little hotel in the small village of Ottery St Mary in Devon. The hotel is…read moreset in nice grounds, easily accessible by road although the exact turning is a little hard to notice the first time. Everyone who works here is super friendly and they always do their best to make your stay a pleasant one. We have used this hotel many times for business meetings as it is very good value for money and very well appointed. The lunch menu is excellent, using local produce and very reasonably priced. Plenty of facilities available including wifi. A lovely hotel which is definitely worth considering on a trip to Devon.

For our wedding anniversary we like to mark the occasion…read morewith a special dinner out, probably at a hotel or restaurant new to us. We had not been to the Monkton Court Hotel before so we thought we would try it as it has an excellent local reputation. We were certainly not disappointed. It is easy to find as it lies on the busy A30 East of Honiton. Access and car parking were also easy. Colin and Jenny the owners personally, cheerfully, welcomed us and as we sat, sipping, before the roaring fire we soon felt at home. The food, prepared by the talented and creative Joe the Chef, was sumptuous and exactly what we were hoping for. The 'A la Carte' menu had five or six choices for each course, the price for two courses being a very fair, but not 'budget', £28 and £36 for three courses. We chose a cheese soufflé starter then and fillet steak and 'Three Porks', followed by an exotic lemon cheesecake with sorbet mmm delicious ! Décor and ambience is stylish giving a warm feeling of genteel, country elegance without being pretentious. We even chose our own music. How's that for service ? We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and are hoping to take some friends to this excellent venue in the next few weeks.
