Visitors can sleep on handmade beds, bathe with artisan toiletries and wrap themselves in soft bathrobes. Run by husband and wife Chris and Julie Bradbury, Mr Underhill’s, (named after the couple’s dear- departed British Blue cat who once featured in the Financial Times) has been winning awards for its food for over three decades. In the restaurant set on the banks of the River Teme, the daily menu is streamlined to ensure diners experience only the freshest seasonal flavours. Wild venison comes from the nearby Mortimer Forest, the beef and lamb are reared in the Welsh Marches while many of the cheeses travel little more than a mile from producer to your platter. * 01584 874431; mr-underhills.co.uk ABOVE Relax in the riverside garden LEFT The menu at Mr Underhill’s changes daily H&A JU NE 2015 151
