Dining at Well Cottage

Where you dine is always entirely your choice. We’ve thoughtfully designed Well Cottage’s layout to offer multiple exquisite dining experiences, each creating its own magical atmosphere within the comfort of your home away from home.

The Garden Room
Where indoor luxury meets outdoor beauty. Our light and airy garden room features soaring vaulted ceilings, double-aspect patio doors, and calming décor that brings the glory of the English countryside indoors. Perfect for sunny daytime lunches or golden evening dinners, offering a unique atmosphere that changes with the season of your stay.

Al Fresco Garden Dining
Nature’s dining room at its finest. On warm, sunny days, our gardens provide the perfect setting for outdoor dining. With the sun warming your back, the fragrance of fresh British air surrounding you, and the wonders of nature as your backdrop, every meal becomes extraordinarily special. The impossibly far-reaching countryside views, accompanied by birdsong as your natural soundtrack, create an ambience unlike anywhere else on earth.

After your sublime meal, retire to The Snug with an aperitif by the crackling open fire for the perfect conclusion to an unforgettable evening, or maybe get ready for some family games or a movie in our luxurious Living Room.

Each setting tells its own story, which will become yours?

FOOD & BEVERAGES

Q. Will you be able to cater to all of our groups dietary requirements?

A. No matter what your dietary requirements there is nothing that we will not accommodate. Over 10 years as a yacht chef Laura has adapted her menu and recipes for every different type of diet and allergy. It is never a problem and more common than you may think.

“I start by trying to keep everyone’s basic menu the same whilst making tweaks to recipes where necessary so that no one ever feels different or as if they are missing out.” There is an art to this and preparation is everything. Your entire menu is planned and carefully provisioned for prior to your stay ensuring everything runs without a hitch. If we have young guests who prefer simpler more child friendly cuisine, this is an exception of when Laura may provide a completely different meal to the rest of your group. If you are at all worried about food for any reason, the best thing to do is simply chat with Laura to find what measures will be taken to ensure that you can sit back, relax and eat without any worry.
