Description
Queen Victoria once kept this white-painted Georgian longhouse as a hideaway for shooting parties and would surely be content that it is in the hands of owners who have lavished so much love and care on it. Make no mistake: Ynyshir Hall offers one of the UK's truly top-drawer culinary and country-house experiences. First off, there's the setting: 14 acres of superb gardens on the splendid Dovey estuary. After nature's grandeur, the small-scale of this intimate retreat is a delightful surprise - with just 9 rooms, guests are hardly falling over one another. Inside, the colour sense of a painter is apparent in a bold, modern colour scheme and walls hung with bright canvasses. The restaurant is a quintessentially country-house affair, where head chef Shane Hughes marries first-rate seasonal Welsh produce with wild herbs and vegetables from Ynyshir's walled garden. Clear flavours leap from the plate in dishes like confit pork and langoustine with peas and quail's egg, then braised duck leg with parsnip and sherry purée and potato galette. Flavours come thick and fast in a finale of warm treacle tart with walnuts, banana, clotted cream and Grand Marnier foam.

Having eaten in some of the best that the uk has to offer, Fat Duck, Waterside inn, Simon radley to name a few. I feel that Ynyshir Hall is punshing well anove it's weight of 3 rosettes, the whole package of the country house with the perfect location is nice, but. . . . the food is fantastic, a plce to visit if you want to impress a loved one for a romantic weekend of the finest gastronomic expirience!!!
