Square Meal review of Gidleigh Park:

Following its 11-month closure for extension & renovation during 2006, Gidleigh Park has emerged lovelier than ever. While the stunning setting, in a secluded woodland spot with a stream thundering right through its front garden, is enough to attract the masses, its the cooking of executive chef Michael Caines & his team that also draws visitors from far & wide. The kitchen offers both classic dishes & more modern preparations, & it’s with the latter that Caines demonstrates the flair that has won the hotel two Michelin stars. Scallops from Brixham are pan-fried & teamed with parsnip & vanilla puree & a ginger jus in an exhilarating starter. Top options at main include a delightfully earthy dish of slow-roasted venison teamed with braised pork belly, red cabbage & fig & chestnut puree. And desserts are just as accomplished, we particularly recommend the coconut pannacotta with caramelised pineapple & coconut milk sorbet for a (relatively) light finish. Happily the skill of the kitchen is matched with an equally professional front-of-house team, & a blockbuster wine list is there to provide the perfect liquid match. Gidleigh Park is easily accessible by train from London Paddington to Exeter St David's mainline station with an approximate journey time of two hours.
