Food Scene
This is the best French food that I have tasted outside of France. Rob and I love the atmosphere here. It's a converted house and very cosy. Booking in advance is highly recommended as it does have certain busy periods.

The restaurant has changed its name to "Red Onion". This is quite a nice Indian restaurant with consistently good food. The Sunday buffet is kept well stocked with a good turnover of food at a very reasonable price.

This is the best Indian food in the area - it is deliciously good! And very authentic - just the way my mum would make it! The Boulevard is a sports bar so not quite a restaurant. The atmosphere is very informal. Children are allowed.

It's a beautiful park 200 metres from the house. It's got a great children's play area for children of all ages and a nice woodland walk. There is an onsite cafe, that houses a small soft play area, as well as tennis courts and a pitch and putt course. A great place for picnics on a warm summer's day.
