Beautiful warm, balmy Sunday evening dinner at The Rectory sat out in the garden area. Wonderful, friendly service from start to finish and the food was tasty and well crafted. Quick update as we dined again last night to celebrate a birthday. Another delicious meal with friendly service The Rectory has pitched itself really nicely and is a guaranteed decent meal.

Visited for a midweek dinner with family. Excellent service, intriguing menu and delicious cocktails. Food was near perfect, only hesitation would be the chocolate pud was a little overdone on the outside (inside was gooey and perfect!).

Just popped in from staying locally for a cocktail. Extremely good cosmopolitan. Very welcoming even though were weren't eating. Beautiful building from what we could see. Everything was top end and priced accordingly looks like a great place to spoil your self for a night out or stay.

Gorgeous country house hotel and restaurant in Crudwell, near Malmesbury Wiltshire. Good food and excellent service. With gravelled drive and Manicured gardens this place delivers a truly gracious experience, not to be missed.
