As you approach the estate, it’s as pretty as you see on the internet, with a view of the estuary to your right, and you immediately feel excited about the experience ahead. We came as a family of four (2 teens) to celebrate hubby’s milestone birthday as hubby’s always been a fan of Michael Caines’ work, and had the Signature Tasting Menu. Sandwiched on either side of this menu were 3 amuse bouches and 3 petit fours, and interspersed with artisan bread during the first few dishes. We all adored the langoustine dish the most, and the 3 of them loved the cod too, whereas my second fave was the beef tartare. A few dishes I thought my daughter wouldn’t enjoy but she loved them all. (The kids have been to 3 Michelin restaurants, think we need to take a long hard look at ourselves at what monsters we have created!) For a very special occasion I can highly recommend Lympstone Manor. Disappointed we didn’t see/meet the main man, but we understand- this would have been the 🍒 on top. It was a 4 hr journey for us, so we stayed in a different property nearby for the weekend. Service great, ambience fab, artwork gorgeous. Hubby had an excellent time, which was all I could hope for. Thank you to the team at LM 🙏🏽
