The Thatched Cottage in Teignbridge

We had an amazing stay here, such an amazing location and a great house to stay in with our 4 children. The bar and hot tub are fabulous. Smart tvs in every room, brilliant garden for the kids to play, and a kitchen containing everything we needed. Couldn’t fault this place we will 100% be coming back thank you.

My family stayed there & loved it. Everything you need especially if theres a few of you. Including hot tub..lovely area. Bike hire available close by..

Lovely base for our family holiday. Large and well equipped and very comfortable.

Lovely old thatched house. 10 stayed plenty of room nice to use the hot tub too.

Really nice place in an excellent location. Bar and hot tub are great!

A beautiful place in a fantastic location. Very spacious with top quality facilities such as games room, bar, hot tub, and an outdoor seating area which gets the sun all day. There's plenty of parking space and it's close to pubs and beaches. What more could you ask for!

What a wonderful place...such a relaxing break in this 16th century cottage which is plenty big enough for all - the hot tub and bar /games area are fantastic extras which made our break so special Plenty of local facilities and loads to see in the surrounding area 5 stars to the owners who have clearly spent a lot of time and effort bringing this period property up to date for our modern world! We will be back 😎

We had a brilliant holiday at The Thatched Cottage. It was a lovely space, had everything we need, nice and warm, comfy beds, hot tub and a great pub in the basement! Would definitely book again

Nice place lots of parking ...only thing I'd say is the beds are bit soft for my liking but that's it

We arrived early on s Saturday night parking was a nightmare but eventually we found somewhere

Now on the market, this very traditional restaurant is in the centre of the small town of Kingsteignton. Sad to be losing it, but hoping someone will invest in making it a great modern place to eat in an interesting setting

We were greeted with a nice glass of Nua Prosecco in this Food and wine event. I started with an Atlantic Prawn salad, with Rose Marie Sauce and Melba toast. Good but average presentation. My main course was Char grilled Loin of Pork and a rather large portion it was too! with Bubble and Squeak Potato and a cider & Sage Cream Sauce. A nice plateful. The staff were friendly and attentive and the occasion was enjoyed by all.

Have been here a few times now for Sunday lunch.

The food for Sunday lunch was very disappointing. All four of us found the vegetables bland and tasteless. One of us ordered medium cooked beef which was overdone. Portions were not generous. We left still feeling hungry. I had the roast vegetables without the meat as I'm vegetarian and was charged the full price of a roast dinner. I am usually offered extra vegetables but not this time. The only point in the restaurant's favour was the friendliness of the waitresses.

The lunchtime menu (2 courses at £13.95) was uninspiring, nearly left to go elsewhere. The staff are sooooooooo polite, a bit over the top for my taste- lots of checking things are okay, placing of cutlery and cheesey smiling. The starter was average - wild mushroom paté which didn"t taste of mushrooms- followed by a well-cooked pork fillet in sage gravy - the best part was the dish of veg which accompanied the main - copious, perfectly cooked and well seasoned. I ordered half a beer but got presented with a pint. Not impressed.

Comimos allí dos veces en la noche del 20 y 21 de julio mientras estábamos en familia Newton Abbot visita. Como su nombre sugiere, el restaurante está situado en una preciosa casa antigua de paja. El personal (deseo mencionar Lauren especialmente) son muy atentos y serviciales. La comida es de alta calidad. Ya que comer carne roja poco apreciamos el variado menú que incluye platos de pescado y pollo varios. Podemos recomendar la casita de paja sin ninguna duda.

El servicio desde el principio hasta el final fue increíble. La comida era excelente, desde el final de la degustación gratuita mordedura del final bonofee desplomarse. Cada plato era la perfección. Hasta ahora este año he comido en Marco Pierre-blancos, Chelsea y el Ritz de Londres y algunos otros restaurantes de primera y este fue el mejor con diferencia. Bien hecho a todos los miembros del personal, que amable, atento y educado.

Group of 12 people for a special retirement lunch. The place is quaint and old worldy and food and service were excellent. If you are in the vicinity for lunch or evening meal, this is a great place. Highly recommende, you will not be disappointed!

La ubicación del restaurante está en una preciosa casa de paja. El entorno en el restaurante tradicional con velas en las mesas adornadas con flores. La acogida es cálida y el servicio amable y personal muy atento. La comida siempre es de la más alta calidad, me gusta especialmente la carne. He visitado este restaurante varias veces y nunca me ha decepcionado.

What can I say apart from a big thank you to all at the thatched restaurant all food was lovely and service was great we will definitely be returning as a couple in the near future.

My partner treated me to dinner out after months of working hard. Our treat was at The Thatched cottage in kingsteighton Newton Abbot. Once we had arrived and shown to our table another couple were shown to theirs, to be greeted to homemade bread rolls....

Really lovely restaurant. Food was wonderful and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I had the duck starter and others had the avocado salad. All were beautifully presented and tasty. The main courses of lamb, chicken and pork were all again beautifully presented and very filling. Unfortunately we were all too full to sample the desserts! Will definitely visit again.

Another fantastic night here unfortunately have not been able to get across for a while.The food as always was to the highest standard and my steak was so tender with a deep rich sauce. If you are looking for good quality food with a high standard of service then would definitely suggest a visit.

Four of us went for Sunday lunch, service excellant, food was fab and attention to detail,politeness were all excellant

Its the first time we visited and it won't be our last. The food was brilliant, my veggie pasta was the best I've tasted, my soup was delicious. Hubby had a lamb roast which he said was great too. The service was great and the chef was very friendly and there was a good selection of veggie dishes. Can't wait to go back !!! :-) :-) :-)

My daughter treated me to lunch for my birthday, on arrival we were greeted with a friendly warm welcome, the food was delicious and nothing was too much trouble and even got a surprise message on my dessert, would definitely recommend,

Full marks for service but Sunday lunch was terrible.The restaurant is advertised as fine dining I have had better at a 3star restaurant.The roast beef was a disgrace, thickly sliced and tough and full of grissle and the roast potatoes were inedible,three large round potatoes dumped on the plate not even crisp soft and no flavour and no finesse in the serving of the dish.This was our 51st wedding anniversary totally ruined by the quality of the food.

Went here with my parents who where visiting from Kent for joint Birthday celebrations. Service was excellent food was excellent and place was lovely. Will be returning in future.

A great place to each Sunday lunch. Super food great service in pleasant surroundings.Very attentive & friendly staff.Top Notch food at reasonable prices.Highly recommend this restaurant for all round quality & value.Sunday lunch menu £13.95 for two courses or £17.95 for three courses.A hidden gem.

What a fabulous place to eat. We have been 3 times now. They really look after you. Service brilliant. Food is fabulous. Look forward to our next visit.

We booked in yesterday, and explained that our soon-to-be 85 year old relative would have to be escorted from the car to the table, and was not good with too many steps. There were some steps up and down here, but the staff could not have been more supportive or welcoming towards us all on arrival. A cushion was quickly accessed for the back of my Mother in Law's wooden chair, and she later commented that this had made her much more comfortable, so she was able to enjoy her food properly. My husband then explained that he was a vegetarian, and the waitress immediately went off to see if the chef could make him a custom meal to suit his requirements. She came back with a choice of three options, all of which sounded delicious. He chose the beetroot and asparagus risotto, which definitely lived up to expectations. We two ladies chose the seafood selection in a wonderfully creamy lemon and saffron sauce, with rice. All three of us had our own individual selection of four colourful fresh veggies to accompany our main dishes. My husband's lemon meringue and my strawberry cheesecake to follow were of an equally high standard. To summarise our experience, I would say excellent food and attentive service, in a traditional setting.

What a treat, we did not know this restaurant existed. Fantastic Food, Great Ambience, Terrific Service from a really brilliant team. Lovely birthday celebration with amazing food.Chicken Liver Parfait, asoparagus risotto, duo of pork, sirloin steaks, fillet steaks. Huge Cheese board. All beautifully cooked & served with a smile. Delicious Moscato Passitto.Will definitely be visiting again. Many thanks for a gourmet evening.

Father in Law wanted to thank us for helping him with a problem- booked the day before and as usual service and food were excellent - cannot wait for next visit

Attended as a surprise meal for my 40th birthday arranged by my husband. Was nervous on arrival having 2 young children with us (would they behave?!!) but needn't have worried as staff great with them anyway. Food and service was wonderful. Whole party enjoyed themselves. Thank you!

We stopped here on the off chance they had a table for lunch for two. Parking was amazingly easy with a large gravel area at the back of the restaurant. The staff were really happy and friendly. Food was delicious and the 12 hour slow roast pork was some of the best pork I have ever tasted. Service was faultless, staff very polite and attentive. Will be back for a dinner service as the menu looks amazing! Well done everyone you thoroughly deserve the top reviews you're receiving.

The starter was brilliant OX CHEEK AND PEARL BARLEY haven't had this for some time but it was better than i remembered! All the main courses were freshly cookedand delicious This was a birthday party celebration and we were well looked after

My partner treated me to a mini break away (He was pleasantly surprised when he noticed it fell on Valentine's day!) Anyways, we're currently staying in this beautiful Thatched Cottage in the heart of beautiful scenery, wild horses and houses I wish I owned! I couldn't wait to shout about this place to anyone who would listen because it's just everything I adore! Its quaint, the rooms are clean, the bed!! The bed is sooo comfy (Literally wanted to take it with me), the owners were friendly and welcoming and from my partners view (As I'm yet to move from the bed to the breakfast room ) the breakfast is perfect. I look forward to visiting again as it's just been a lovely experience

We visited the Thatched Cottage for a Valentines meal and I'm so glad that we did. The waiting staff were very pleasant, polite and always served us with a smile. The food was fantastic," out of this world" every course was hot, colourful, and so full of flavour. I had the king prawn and lemon sole it tasted like the fish had just been caught minutes before, the sauce had a beautiful shine.The chef and the whole kitchen team really are at the top of the game.If you enjoy good local food cooked with care and a pleasant atmosphere this restaurant is a must.If it hasn't already won awards it soon will.

I have lived in the village for years and although I knew the cottage was there I never visited. I'm glad that I now have.The staff were very welcoming and service was excellent from start to finish. The food was fantastic and all together not too expensive.If you haven't been before I'd highly recommend this lovely, old, charming restaurant. We will certainly be visiting again!

It was my 22nd birthday and we decided to go to the Thatched Cottage for a family meal. In all the years we've lived in Kingsteignton, we have never been to the restaurant. Crazy! We were welcomed in to the bar area and had our coats taken by one of the waiting staff. She was very kind and polite. A great start! We sat down on the sofas and had a look at the menus, which we then ordered from. I ordered the Soup to start, followed by the Sirloin Steak and then finished off with local ice cream! Before the starters came out, we were offered a selection of fresh bread rolls. What followed that was a small appetiser of diddy fish and chips. How wonderful! The soup tasted amazing, and the dumplings were exquisite! The main course was the best of the lot. My steak was cooked Medium-Rare, and it was one of the best steaks I have ever had! Well presented which is the main thing. I work in the hospitality trade and the presentation of food is a major thing for me. It's what gives the meal that all important first impression! The red cabbage and mushrooms certainly made the dish complete. We even had room for dessert. My Dad went for the cheeseboard, which again he said was the best he has had! His partner had the Crème brûlée, which looked and tasted delicious! My Nan had the trio of sorbets and I had the local ice cream. Again, brilliantly presented! They must have been made aware that it was my birthday, as 'Happy Birthday' was written on the edge of the plate. Something so simple and small, what a nice gesture! We couldn't stomach anymore, so we then got the bill. The four of us had a great time! Top food, and service to match! We most certainly will be back. Thank you!

Having been living overseas for too many years and only being able to visit The Thatched Cottage on rare occasions during flying visits to the UK, it has always been a once in a blue moon venue for me. None the less, the restauranteurs always seem to remember us which is a small clue as to the great care that they take with everything. The food is phenomenal. Always. Always delicious, always creative and always impeccably presented. Whether for a major full house event such as New Year or an intimate dinner for two, the atmosphere always manages to seem 'just right' and the service is always attentive without being intrusive, congenial without being falsely gushing and just in fact just very friendly and Colin creates such fabulous dishes in the kitchen. Thank you both for the many wonderful fine dining experiences enjoyed to-date and hopefully to many more going forward!

We decided to treat ourselves to a New Year's Eve night out and opted for dinner at the thatched cottage. We were not disappointed the food was excellent especially the duck pancake starter. All the staff worked hard to make sure we had an enjoyable night throwing in a quiz as well which was good fun. All in all a lovely way to end 2016 and start 2017.If you have never eaten here would definitely recommend you give it a try.

Sunday lunch with friends . Wonderful food and surroundings & staff. We've been here a couple of times and have never been disappointed. Today rare roast beef , baked salmon , pheasant cassoulet & a trad pre Xmas turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Starters & puddings just as good ... something to suit every taste. Excellent value too with a short but good , affordable wine list. 3 course with wine for just over £100 for 4!

We were a large party for the festive dinner & had preordered so everything should have been excellent! Two of us had the pheasant breast that was overdone & very dry. The staff were advised of our disappointment on collecting plates & apologised but offered nothing else not even a discount! We were 1 table of only 3 occupied so no excuses there either! Having previously had an excellent meal here, I did feel rather let down & wouldn't hurry to return although all the other meals were fine.

Went there worth the family for a Christmas. Was a fair sized meal, a bit too much for me, but that was my own doing not the restaurants. Service was good, regularly came and checked to see if we were ok. Would go again

We really enjoyed the 3 course festive lunch menu and the three of us found the variety of dishes to be of a very high quality. The service was very friendly and welcoming. The bar area is perfect for a pre lunch drink. The wine list is varied and reasonably priced including some fine local wines. The Thatched Cottage restaurant offers fine food and wines in a charming setting. Highly recommended.

We went as a party of eight friends and ex work colleagues. We received a warm welcome and made our menu choices over a pre dinner drink in the snug lounge. A complimentary starter was a good start to the evening and the whole meal was delicious. Service was attentive but not at all rushed or intrusive. We were all very pleased with our varied food choices and the cooking and presentation was exceptional. Not cheap but very good value for money. House wine very enjoyable and sensibly priced.

To celebrate a friend's special birthday we wanted to eat at a special place and The Thatched Cottage certainly delivered. The food was excellent - and the service was too - attention was paid to every detail. We enjoyed a memorable evening in a very intimate setting. We will return!!

Our meal here was ruined...simply because someone either doesn't know how to cook beef or that they buy cheap joints. The beef was like leather and inedible. That's not to say that the other dishes might've been perfectly fine. The staff were friendly enough. Very disappointing ...plus it was a special occasion so it ruined the day.

Our friends & I visited the Thatch Cottage on Friday evening - 21st Oct'16.what a beautiful restaurant. The immediate welcome was warm & friendly. Sat & had drinks by a lovely glowing fire, our order was taken and our meal was presented soon after ordering. We were given a complimentary starter, in addition to the one we had ordered, it was delicious!The presentation of the food was first class, and tasted amazing.The wine was fantastic, and the whole ambience of the Thatch Cottage was lovely.The staff were all very friendly and helpful and went out of there way to make the evening a really lovely and enjoyable experience.Thank you for a fabulous evening, we highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely come again.

We dined at the thatched cottage on 5 October2016. To celebrate my husband's birthday while on holiday in the area. Food and service were both fantastic. They even marked the occasion with a birthday dessert. The restaurant was warm and friendly. Well worth a visit. We were staying at the Passage House hotel and walked down and back - but don't forget a torch! You could equally drive or get a taxi.

You will never be disappointed with either the food or the service. Very good choice, always hot and well presented. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and a pleasure to visit

On Tuesday 20th September 4 of us had a fantastic Dinner at The Thatched Cottage at Kingsteignton.This 16th Century Restaurant belies its amazing 21st Century quality food & service.The attentive staff and the excellent Chef/Owner all go the extra mile for their clients.We cannot speak highly enough of this Restaurant, so if you have not already experienced & enjoyed it then please do not delay your visit as you will visit it again & again.Stephen, Andrew, Liz & Janet.

we went on a Friday evening whilst visiting the area for the weekend. Service and food was excellent. Nice homemade bread to start, complementary taster consume, followed by 2 really nice courses, followed by complementary Petit Fours to end a nice evening. They asked when we booked whether we were celebrating anything - it was our wedding anniversary, so on the Petit Fours dish was written in chocolate "Happy Anniversary" - a lovely touch. Would go back again if we were in the area - really don't understand why it wasn't full on a Friday evening.

The Thatched Cottage is a very pleasant place to go for a typical Sunday roast but it doesn't have any 'Wow ' factor at all. It is certainly not the sort of place to take kids too as on the 3 occasions we have visited it was full of the 'older generation ' taking traditional Sunday lunch, which suited us on each occasion as we had elderly relatives with us and to be fair, they loved it ! The service was very good (with impeccable manners!) but the food is as I say very traditional and for me uninspiring. There are other dishes available but nothing that makes you say " Oh that sounds lovely". The wine list is not too bad and overall the prices are pretty fair for what is on offer but to be honest we probably wouldn't go there if our elderly relatives didn't like it there so much. Nothing wrong with the place generally, if that's what you're looking for but for me there are better places around locally. I would never say "don't go there", it's just not for us.

We went to the thatched cottage for my husbands birthday. We were welcomed to our table and given time to look at the menu. We all had starters which were a generous portion size and tasted lovely. Two of our party had steak for main course perfectly cooked, my daughter had lamb also perfectly cooked and I had fish which was delicious. I was the only one who had a dessert which tasted sublime. I would recommend this restaurant. It had a warm welcome and lovely food

top notch evening from the welcome. to the table service , to the quality of the meal....to get this in a package is rare, and not cheap.

Went for a birthday meal and found the food to be exellant service with a smile and very good value for money many other restaurants around could learn a lot from this place

We had a warm welcome at the Thatched Cottage on 24 August. We had drinks in the garden before going in for a 3 course meal. It was delicious.

Had a wonderful dinner here recently I cannot rate the food highly enough. The Staff were very hospitable and helpful. Such a pretty restaurant would highly recommend this lovely place.

What a lovely place to eat and enjoy a super meal on a Sunday afternoon. The staff are very helpful and very professional in their approach. The food was amazing and very tasty with plenty of veg, roasties and meat. The sweets where fantastic and all for a great price. The only down side which is very minor, was although clean the toilets are in need of some serious updating with the comment from my wife that the ladies smelt like an old charity shop lol. This minor fault aside I would recommend a visit to the Thatched Cottage and we will be back to try other options on the menu.Tip Top....

This was our first time here and due to previous reviews were really looking forward to it, so I am disappointed that I cannot give it a better review. We entered via the main road entrance which leads directly into the dining area, whereas the entrance via the car park leads into a bar area. We stood there for a couple of minutes before someone came to us even though they had seen us. We were not given menus or a drinks menu so sat for at least 5 minutes twiddling our thumbs when we could have been deciding what to have. The service from then on was very good, if a bit too formal for me. The background music was so quiet you could hardly hear it. I don't like loud music but I felt it was too quiet, so there was not much of an ambiance. We chose the duck liver parfait to start which was very nice. We then had roast pork and roast beef. It was a good roast dinner, with plenty of vegetables, however the Yorkshire pudding was rubbery. The deserts were not on a menu or even a board bought to the table, the waitress read them from a list in her booklet, this means you have to decide there and then and have not much time to mull over what you prefer. I am afraid I was disappointed with the desert of chocolate brownie and ice cream, as it was not a nice moist squidgy brownie, it was basically a square of chocolate cake. Good value at £12.95 for 2 courses and £16.95 for 3.

Mijn man en ik zijn bezig met een rondreis door het zuiden van Engeland. We begonnen in Bournemouth en rijden in 8 dagen door Cornwall. De derde dag aten we bij That thatched cottage in Kingsteignton. We waren beide verrast. We werden prettig ontvangen en hebben genoten van uitstekend eten. Voor deze kwaliteit vonden we het ook niet duur. Ronduit goed allemaal!

We booked and had not been since February but were not disappointed. The starters of crab and crayfish brulee with poppy seed top and the walnut, goat's cheese and asparagus tart were delicious. Mains of fillet steak and calves liver were also great. Very well balanced meals. The ice cream and coffee with petit fours also very good. Staff were attentive and service good but not quite the same as before. Something missing in the welcome and goodbyes.

A birthday meal I won't be forgetting. Beautiful thatched cottage. Great atmosphere. Creative chef. Loads of fantastic little touches, even down to my petit four plate having Happy birthday written in chocolate. Great service.Will definitely be returning.

The Sunday lunch at the Thatched Cottage is very good.A good choice menu at a sensible price.The staff were frendly and attentive.We would certainly return.

Great food and service topped off with a very good wine which was recommendedFour of us enjoyed our evening in a well furbished restaurant, and will be returning

We went to the Thatched Cottage for Sunday lunch and was also my sisters birthday.Lovely Restaurant, first class service and excellent food.Not expensive,well cooked and well served.Will be going again soon.

Our first time at The Thatched Cottage. Very welcoming, a drink in the bar first, order taken and then taken through to our table. The lunch menu is excellent and there were a couple of specials in addition. Our starters of chicken and pinenut terrine & a prawn and crayfish cocktail were both first class both flavour wise and presentationally. Our main courses were of the roast beef special, great flavour and quality meat, which again were excellent with plenty of vegetables and traditional Yorkshire pudding.The desserts which are indeed highly tempting had us choosing the White Chocolate & raspberry cheesecake and we were very pleased with it.A good selection of coffees is available and the Americano coffees were top notch. The wine list has plenty to select from and we opted for an Australian Gwertztraminer which was nice and light. Overall, a lovely meal with excellent service and very reasonably priced and we hope to visit again.

On recommendation, four of us ate at this attractive restaurant. I seldom use the word faultless but that is an accurate summary of the reception, service, food and ambience.The complimentary amuse bouche of fruits and melon was a treat. Choices included starters of onion tart(fab), wild mushroom pate(fab) and main courses of mullet, sirloin,turbot(cooked to absolute perfection) with lovely vegetables . Sweets seemed too indulgent but we managed and were delighted especially with the lemon crème chiboust(?). Will definitely book again and feel confident in taking other friends. Meanwhile, our next meal there will be a special evening as a couple.

Visited this restaurants many times, ,without any shadow of doubt it is the best in theArea. Food ,service 5 star plus

Another restaurant eaten in that I found on Trip advisor, and another restaurant that I was not disappointed with.The food here is delicious and great quality! My mum and I had the Plaice and it was cooked to perfection and my Dad had the Beef. Every plate was empty so that is a good sign :)The deserts here are amazing..... The toffee in the sticky toffee pudding is delicious! My mouth is watering just thinking about it.What I loved most about this place is that they overheard that it was my mums birthday and on her desert plate, written in chocolate, was a "happy birthday" message. The little things like this go a long way to making it a personal experience..... SO THANK YOU!

The staff were very helpful with our booking and having read the earlier reviews, the experience did not disappoint. Whatever the occasion, I would recommend a visit.

As it was such a special occasion but it was midweek, my husband and I decided to book the Thatched Cottage on recommendation from someone at work and I'm so glad we did. The food was absolutely divine, my husband was so impressed with the desserts (the chef had written happy anniversary in chocolate on the plate) he took a photo! The discreet unobtrusive yet attentative service also made us feel very special. Will definitely keep this as our favourite 'special place' for birthdays, anniversaries etc

My partner and I had a meal a couple of years ago it was superb quite expensive but worth every penny, the service was also superb thank you

This is our fourth visit and once again had a lovely meal, friendly attentive staff, would thoroughly recommend this restaurant to the most discerning diners. Thanks for tonight.

Spent an early Father's Day here. It was my parents first visit and another return visit for us. The food as always was of excellent quality and the service friendly and attentive without being obtrusive. Would throughly recommend a visit.

You are always guaranteed a warm and friendly welcome caked up by excellent service. The food is always of the highest standard with menus that regularly change. All this in a charactful thatched cottage with a tastefully decorated interior.

I booked for my partners 60th birthday a meal for 18 people it was a wonderful night i cannot say enough about the wonderful hosts the chef and all the lovely staff.We had a great time and all the meals were fantastic.100% would recommend this lovely place.Thanks again and will be booking again

This inn is olde worlds with modern food. Very attentive service and food to die for! We went as a family first to celebrate my sons retirement. Emverything was tip top and we all agreed we had. Been well looked after. Went again for Sunday lunch and it was just as good. Recommended to another party and again very good.

We hadn't visited before, despite living just a mile away. We went with friends on a Saturday night and had a great time.The service, atmosphere and food were all excellent. If anything is going to restrict the amount of times we visit in future, it is the prices. Our main courses were £18-20. A lovely place to eat, but not too often for our budget.

It's not often you have a faultless evening, our meal at the thatched cottage was excellent, the staff are very friendly and made us feel at home straight away. The restaurant has a charming atmosphere, good selection of local ales, interesting wine list and a very tempting menu. The cooked to order food was excellent .

We visited in March of this year with my elderly Gran. My Gran likes to visit the same places for dinner so this was a little different for her, the thatched cottage is now her new favourite. Whilst she struggled a little with the access to the restaurant (via the car park) the host could not have been more helpful, he treated us all so well. He took our coats, showed us to our table, made conversation and made us feel so welcome. We weren't aware (as we had always used the car park access before) but to make it easier for my gran we could have used the front access, the host made us aware of this for our next visit. The food was amazing, we had the three course meal deal, we each also had a complimentary appetiser and bread. The food is such good value for money and so tasty. We couldn't fault any part of our visit, will most definitely be visiting again. We have visited before as a couple and with other family members and have never been disappointed.

This restaurant is a must visit the owners are accommodating nothing is to much trouble even to opening earlier which they did for us it was my husbands 74 th birthday and I wanted to take him for a unforgettable meal thanks to the thatched cottage I've been able to do this it was fine dining at its very best the food was delicious it looked good and tasted even better cannot fault anything and we are hard to please definitely will be going back it was truelly lovely thank you

Got in at the last minute because of a cancellation. Found the service attentive and courteous (but not overly so) and the meals excellent and well presented. Would definitely return if the opportunity arises next time we're in the area.

We last went to the Thatched Cottage in September 2016 and had an excellent meal in a super atmosphere. Having been amazed at a couple of poor reviews we re-visited with some concern. However for us it was a repeat of the previous great experience. It is a cosy restaurant with attentive but not intrusive host and staff. The little extras adding to the experience. The menu is not extensive but has interesting choices. I heard the host explain to another guest that they tend to change the selection approx. every 6 weeks but test each component of every dish to ensure it works. It was clear that there were a number of others present that evening were re-visiting, some regularly which says it all.

Every thing about this restaurant is first class, the food was suburb,as was the staff. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and attentive, lovely combination. I loved that they wrote happy anniversary, in chocolate on our dessert plate, this made it very special to us.

My husband treated myself and my son to a superb Mothering Sunday lunch. The food was delicious and the service second to none. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and one which we intend to repeat before too long.

I picked this place based on TripAdvisor reviews and was not disappointed. The building was quaint on the outside but modern and quirky inside. The staff were welcoming and immediately made us feel at home. My 90 year old mum was with us and they were very attentive to her mobility. We sat on comfy sofas by the bar as our table was prepared, ordering food over drinks. The special Easter menu had something tempting for all of us and my son had a lovely vegetarian risotto. Good food, good service, friendly atmosphere, easy parking and access all contributed to a happy family occasion.

Great food and very friendly service - nothing is too much trouble. The space has a unique blend of the original cottage details with an open and airy feel. The menu is varied to suit all tastes but controlled enough for all dishes to be freshly prepared. There is also the option for a fixed price section which means that The Thatched Cottage can be 'I want to go out' or a special occasion. The wine list offers a comprehensive range at reasonable prices Well worth a visit!

Went to The Thatched Cottage for my birthday last year. Absolutely lovely. Friendly service gorgeous food and a really nice atmosphere.

An exceptionally wonderful family meal in a restaurant with a beautiful ambience. Absolutely first class! Clear attention to detail in all aspects with courteous and charming attentive staff. The meal was a delight and exquisitely presented with generous servings. It's a long time since I experienced such an overall high standard - a flashback to the past when quality was rather more evident than it sadly tends to be today. In other words, it was devoid of anything tasteless - and that's regarding the setting and its layout!

We had a fantastic time today! Food wonderful including vegetarian nut roasts. Meat and fish dishes excellent too. Plenty of vegetables. The service from all was superb. Quality of food was great. Made to feel very welcome and special. Will return! Thank you very much to all at the Thatched Cottage!

Been coming here for years m.Possibly the best restaurant I've been to. Atmosphere, service and food are all perfect. Attention to detail just works :)

The three of us chose the three courses for £24.95 thinking that the portions would not be generous. But we left feeling very full but very satisfied. Each mouthful from start to finish was fabulous. The chaps has soup for starters and I had fruit. For mains we had pork. haddock and chicken. All choices were lovely. For dessert two of us had the baked cheescake and one had the ice cream and sorbet selection. Everything was wonderful and the homemade bread was oven fresh and so moorish. They served a complimentary taster as well. I cannot fault the whole meal and service was excellent. Best meal I have had out for a long time and good value for money. Hot plates kept the food warm from first mouthful til the last

Fabulous evening, best ever! We had a lovely warm welcome as usual and great table. Excellent service and although the restaurant was fully booked, extra staff ensured we did not have to wait at any time. Set menu was stunning. Started with complimentary salmon and crayfish with caviar which was delicious, then srarter of salmon in vodka and beetroot on a lemon belini with cucumber salsa which was wonderful. Then we had a delicious palate cleanser of champagne and strawberry sorbet. The star of the show was the main course. Lemon sole fillets encasing a crayfish mousse and saffron tagliatelli with baby tomatoes and mange tout with fab. lemon and dill butter sauce. Wow! After a short rest we tucked into desserts of cheesecake with fruits and cream. Finally rounded off with petit fours, homemade and stunning, especially the chocolate strawberry which we shared. Then coffee, brandy etc. The staff thought of every detail with balloons, little hearts on the table, red themed dress and even a fresh red rose to take home. I love this place !!!!

This was our second visit to the Thatched Cottage and, as with the first visit in Sept 2014, our hosts had booked the whole restaurant for a private party of around 30 guests.We just could not fault the whole evening. We received a warm welcome into the cosy bar area (complete with log fire between bar and restaurant), and drinks were speedily delivered to our table.The service throughout the evening was outstanding - very attentive without being intrusive and I noticed that everyone on our large table was served together at each course so no waiting around for the last person's food to arrive before starting.All 3 courses were beautifully presented, really tasty and ample quantities - the two of us had pork & sea bass and both of these dishes were simply excellent.Drinks were a reasonable price but we can't comment on food value as our hosts settled the bill.We'll definitely be back soon.

Let me first say; I feel horrendous writing this.Booked a table for 2 for my partner's birthday, with very high expectations due to excellent reviews.Firstly, the positives: The waiting staff were lovely, nothing was too much trouble. Impeccable service, truly the best I have ever received. Having a drink in the bar area was super nice and relaxing.Great wine list. The prosecco was very good. Homemade bread was absolutely delicious. Excellent crust and really fluffy. Lots of real butter on the table to enjoy with it!They brought us a little aperitif of smoked mackerel pate and that was very tasty. As it was my partner's birthday they brought us a plate of petit fours with 'happy ' birthday' written in chocolate. A much appreciated and stunningly thoughtful touch. Sadly by this point I could eat no more and felt rather sick....Which leads me (sadly) onto the negatives:My food was just not up to the standard I would expect. My starter was avocado, red pepper and creme fraiche mousse. It was set like a layered jelly - very 70's.I initially thought the taste was ok but it quickly became very very cloying. It was over set and did not melt in the mouth. The accompaniments lacked refinement. Just some raw chicory leaves (undressed) and 3 toasted walnuts. For main course I had linguine with fresh spinach, roasted tomatoes and goat's cheese. This is where it all went wrong.It was almost inedible.Maybe it was ignorance on my part as I envisaged fresh beautiful pasta, vibrant green with spinach, some slow roasted tomatoes and fresh torn goat's cheese. What arrived was a huge muddled bowl. The cream sauce was totally overwhelming with half melted lumps of goats cheese - only distinguishable by the tough washed rind that remained. The roasted tomatoes were just roasted cherry tomatoes which popped as you tried to spear them with your fork, combining their watery middles with the cream sauce. Yuck. The was some indiscriminate veg in there......I thought I may have had a lump of roasted swede. Maybe leftovers go into this dish? All disguised by the richest, thickest sauce I have ever eaten. The saddest thing was that the pasta was lovely and beautifully made and cooked. I felt so sick after a few mouthfuls, my partner tried it and said he'd have sent it back.In hindsight I should have said something but I felt so awful as the staff were lovely.It may be just me as other TripAdvisor reviewers have loved it. We will not be returning. Really regretfully.

My wife booked a table at this restaurant for my birthday at the beginning of november last year.The service we received from the owners was very professional and at high standards.The place looks very well kept and inviting,and the food is excellent and beautifully presented.Very pleased in general with their establishment,and we will return there again.One happy customer.

Sunday lunch was a pleasant experience. The staff were very well dressed and professional in their work. The choice was excellent from starter to dessert. The meat was cooked to perfection and there was a choice of fresh veg. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Great place and good value for money.
