Off the beaten track, that's for sure -- but hardly a secret. The food as descibribed by others is excellent and interesting -- the assortment of lamb parts include heart and kidney. The hotel itself looks like an old manor house with antiques galore (the TV being one of them, but then who watches TV at Echo?). It's a splurge... More

We did not stay at this hotel but my husband and I visited The Mustard Seed for dinner. We were a bit early (6:30pm) and had the entire restaurant to ourselves for about an hour. Of course, service was excellent as we were the only ones there! But even once other patrons arrived, the level of service remained high. We... More

We stayed here for 3 nights over the Easter weekend. The food in the restaurant- both for breakfast and in the evening- is exquisite; the decor, an amazing kaleidoscope of country manor meets South East Asia is truly unique; the hotel is comfortable, especially when sitting by the fire sipping wine or coffee; and best of all, the hospitality of...

It's not inexpensive but worth... More

We just completed a magical stay at this hotel. The hotel has great charm. Our room was perfect and filled with charm. We arrived early and were welcomed with coffee and sweets. We sat in the main room and immediately felt like old friends of the staff and other arriving guests. For our dinner we found a large selection of... More

Thoroughly enjoyed a family break here. Dan went out of his way for every guest and on Valentines day, when already run off his feet, he accomodated us (in style) and our little 3 year old. Cannot recommend the food highly enough but for us it was the experience that made this trip - our meal served in the sitting... More

We had a small family wedding in the Mustard Seed in January 2013, with 26 people for the weekend and loved every minute. Dan and John treated everyone like royalty with nothing too much trouble. The food was exceptional and all the guests commented on the quality and the variety on the menu. Along with the excellent staff and service,... More
