Geoffrey and Katherine Smeddle have run this contemporary restaurant since 2006 but the history contained within the walls of this whitewashed inn extends much further back, to the 18C. Start with a drink in the smart lounge, which still boasts its original log fireplace, then head through to one of three dining rooms – and be sure to ask for a table overlooking the floodlit gardens.
Geoffrey brought with him a wealth of experience and his accomplished cooking is underpinned by classical French techniques. Flavours are bold and harmonious and although some subtle modern touches are in evidence, cooking is free from frippery. Dishes use the finest produce from the region, be that vegetables from the garden or seafood from Anstruther.
Stylish, split-level bedrooms come with plenty of extras and breakfast is served in your room.
