"Dining was a treat" said the inspectors of the Good Hotel Guide 2001. Combe House Hotel and Restaurant at Gittisham is a total dining experience. To discover Combe is to find somewhere very special from the very moment you drive through the little village of Gittisham you sense you are entering a bygone area. The thatched cottages, Norman Church and village green, no wonder Prince Charles described it as the 'Ideal English Village'. Then the mile long winding drive through the woods and meadow lands with surprise glimpses of the Manor, a wonderful sense of arrival. Step inside to be greeted by a huge log fire, squashy sofas and flamboyant flowers. Take pre-diner drinks alfresco in the summer on the croquet lawn with stunning views of the countryside and glorious sunsets. There are two dining rooms, one stylish yet understated the other decorated with a mural of pure fantasy and magical. The food created by the master chef of GB. Philip Leach is innovative, contemporary and using the best of fresh local produce where flavour is paramount. The wines stored in the ancient cellar are interesting and carefully chosen by Ken Hunt with a superb specialist Chablis Collection. The service is warm and attractive yet unobtrusive and earned the 2002 Conde Nast Johansen most excellent service award winner. New Georgian Kitchen Modern British Contemporary where quality fresh local produce FLAVOUR is paramount. Visitors always made most welcome. Booking essential.
