The food is amazing and you can now order takeaway through UberEATS to enjoy back in the guest cottage. Delivery drivers have had trouble finding the guest cottage driveway in the past. We highly recommend picking up your meal at the restaurant if using UberEATS.

Just gorgeous. if you've never seen a covered bridge, even if you have, drop everything and go here. The bridge and the town of West Cornwall is a treat. The drive to the bridge isn't half bad either!
