* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

A “very busy” split-level restaurant in “a very pleasant location” – a converted church on the banks of the river Ness – where the downstairs dining room curls around an open log fire, and the upstairs has an outdoor terrace looking towards the other side of the water, where the owners run a series of holiday apartments. This is a place that “buzzes at lunchtime” owing to the “very good-value” set menus during the week (“£15.95 for 2 courses is a snip”, as is the three-course Sunday lunch for £45) and while it’s a little too “crowded” for some tastes as a result, there was nothing but praise this year for the “proper cooking” of modern European bent.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
