There is no isle here, no lake, no bee-loud glade – the name of Richard and Janine Burton's lauded restaurant with rooms draws inspiration from WB Yeats's Innisfree, a place of serenity and escape. 'One of my top five places to stay,' writes a trusted reader, before enthusing about both restaurant and rooms in the 18th-century building behind a 20th-century shopfront. 'The food was excellent, the service exemplary and very good value for money,' agrees another reader. Smart contemporary bedrooms range from snug doubles to a suite with free-standing bath and walk-in monsoon shower, while the larger of two cottages, sleeping four, has a lounge, shower and spa bath. 'Our room was big and blissfully quiet, even though it is in the centre of town.' One reader gave a thumbs up to the 'duck breast with its range of accompaniments', while another concluded that the 'the sea bass with crab kedgeree and Japanese salad, and the orange tart were all delicious'. 'Breakfasts were excellent too, with a choice of fruit, cereals, porridge or yoghurt and a wide range of cooked food.' (John Parris, PA, MH)
