Being a lover of staycations AND a massive foodie, it was only right I went to check out the Michelin dining overnight experience at Boringdon Hall Hotel. Arriving at ‘the enchanted place on a hill’ instantly fills you with excitement!
This exclusive Boringdon Hall Hotel Offer includes accommodation (I stayed in the Lady Jane Suite), access to the spa during the duration of your stay, 4 course dinner at the Michelin Star and 4 AA Rosette restaurant Àcleàf, including cheese course and wine pairing, as well as breakfast.
Another plus point is10% off pre booked spa treatments, and a signed Acleaf recipe book. Mine now has pride of place on my coffee table at home.
After checking in I immediately went to make use of the award-winning Gaia Spa. The adults only space boasts numerous outdoor hot tubs, relaxation rooms, multiple steam rooms, saunas and an indoor swimming pool. Spending a few hours here made me feel like new woman!
The Lady Jane Suite was like a home away from home. Spread across two floors, the living area overlooked the front lawn, featured a spacious bedroom for me to nap in and an upstairs bathroom with free-standing bath (I can’t have a room without one these days!).
Feeling fresh, I was more than ready for a meal of a lifetime in Àcleàf! All diners are treated to a glass of champagne on arrival and the team shower you with snacks and warm bread to start with.
After much deliberation, I narrowed down my four chosen courses. Caviar to start, you know it’s going to be extra special when it’s served in a crystal cup with the trademark pearl spoon! I know it’s wrong, but I admit, I secretly licked the spoon clean while other diners looked away!
Second course was the crab (a dish first created by Chef Paton back in 2012), followed by THE MOST mouth-watering, cooked to PERFECTION, Wagyu I have EVER EATEN! I say this in bold as Chef blew me out of the water with this!
Dessert finished strong (as expected), with a Coconut Delice paired with sparking sake. I can only describe this as like eating a coconut cloud with a pop of Yuzu!
From start to finish, each course and vino pairing was spot on and the best part was being able to simply walk to my room after savouring the moment and dream of eating it all over again!
