Cottage in the Wood B&B, Braithwaite

History

A former 17th Century coaching inn, it was utilised as a small isolation hospital for sailors from the West Coast ports during the 19th and early 20th century.

The property became a guest house after the Second World War and was finally purchased by Liam and Kath in 2002.

Food & beverage

The Cottage in the Wood's philosophy towards food is to use the best possible produce and to combine seasonal ingredients to create simple and appealing meals. The starting point is with suppliers who are knowledgeable and have long established links with farmers and growers so they can come up with something special for use in the kitchen. The elegant, light-and-airy award winning restaurant offers a daily-changing menu utilising the best seasonal ingredients from local farmers. The modern British cooking is underpinned with European influences.
