Uniquely for Guest Houses in the area, we offer our guests the chance to enjoy Irene's superb cooking at dinner time as well as for breakfast. Her superb evening meals are available 5 nights a week, Wednesday to Sunday, except during the months of July & August.
That said, on evenings when we're not cooking dinners, we we offer an equally delicious, 2-course, light supper specifically for our guests who arrive unsupported on foot or by bicycle and especially, our wheelchair-dependent guests. Just let us know when you're making your booking, we'll be happy to oblige.
Irene’s cooking has proved to be very popular indeed so, on most evenings, you’ll find some or all of our guests round the dining table, enjoying one of her splendid home-cooked meals. If you would like to join them, we’d be delighted, again please let us know at the time you make your booking.
For our dinners, she conjures up a fixed 3-course "Menu of the Day", depending on what fresh ingredients are available and carefully taking into account any guests' dietary needs or preferences that we know about. (Take a look at the typical menu items listed below, which will give you a good idea of the sort of dish you may get to enjoy.)
One of these superb 3-course meals, including coffee too, is just £24.50, 2 courses only £19.50.
Also uniquely for the area, we take a special pride in catering for guests with special dietary needs or preferences, again, please just let us know when you make your booking.
