Absolutely Fantastic, Julia had a great time she mentions lots of high points, her favourite being the ravioli, the venue, atmosphere and service. Fantastic experience by all accounts, we will be booking and recommending to our friends. Andy

The quality of the food and service was excellent each course and recommended wines were explained in detail. The selected wines were excellent being ideally matched to their specific course. The overall experience was fabulous to the extent that we have booked again for the 16th November

We’ve known chef Joe 15 years and have seen his food develop into an exciting, tasty and very visually appealing menu. We went with good friends who were blown away by this offering’ on our doorstep’. His knowledgeable and friendly colleagues provide an appropriate and engaging commentary for each course which is an enhancement to the already top class experience. Thank you

It's taken us a long time to find that one very special place - and this is it. From the second you walk through the door, you know you're in good hands. The tasting menu is just exquisite. The combination of flavours, on a menu which changes monthly and uses local produce, is superb. The staff are friendly yet incredibly knowledgeable and Joe and his team cook the food to perfection. Have loved every visit.

Special food, lovely staff, gorgeous venue, un-rushed, intimate experience, worth every single penny and more! Lovely wine pairing completed the experience, already bought two of the wines from our last visit. Meeting chef Joe at the end of service was the perfect finish to the evening. Booked again for June.

Fabulous food and great staff and lovely ambience .I understand why but I would have preferred a little more time between courses .We opted for the wine flight and I didn’t get chance to savour the glass before the next course and glass arrived .We did manage to slow down the final course .This didn’t affect the evening which was lovely but I do prefer a longer time with a tasting menu

We loved it - so much so that we have already booked again for April. The food was delicious and beautifully balanced. The wine flight worked perfectly and included some more unusual choices. Collette and Jen were wonderful hostesses - passionate, knowledgeable, fun and attentive. We understand now why people say that they hesitate to leave reviews in case others discover you and then they can't get a table. You are a hidden gem!

I have to say I have been to many restaurants for their taster menus and this matched, if not surpassed many of them. From entering, the staff were extremely friendly, the place was small and cosy with a lovely ambience. All 4 at our table enjoyed every course and also enjoyed the wine flight to match. Over all it was a fantastic evening with sublime food. I would highly recommend this place without hesitation

This was our second visit to Spring Cottage and it didn’t disappoint. Our first visit was in the summer and we watched deer outside as we ate our delicious food- extremely charming! This visit was in the cold and dark but a lovely warm room with a log burner welcomed us and the food was outstanding yet again. We also enjoyed a wine flight with our food this time which was really well matched and made the food all the more enjoyable.?Please don’t hesitate to book, you won’t be disappointed.
Could do with a light over the Spring Cottage sign at the end of the road and turn the lights up just a tad in the room - difficult to read the menu or see the detail of the food in the dark!!

If you're seeking an extraordinary dining experience that surpasses your wildest culinary expectations, look no further than Mcleod 9. Tucked away in a secluded woodland, this small restaurant redefines the concept of fine dining. With a mere sixteen seats available on any given night, it offers an intimate and exclusive setting that immerses you in a world of gastronomic delights. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the quirky ambiance of the room. It had a distinct café-style atmosphere, blending comfort with an air of... well I'll let you decide. The cosy setting added a touch of warmth to the overall dining experience,
making us feel right at home. What truly sets Mcleod 9 apart is its exquisite set menu, a culinary masterpiece divided into four sections and snippets: the ground, the sea, the land, and the forest. Each course showcased a harmonious fusion of flavours, textures, and presentation that demonstrated Michelin Star quality. The meal began with delightful snippets that served as a prelude to the culinary adventure awaiting us. The attention to detail and the playfulness in the arrangement of flavours was evident from the very first bite. It was a testament to the chef's artistic vision and culinary prowess. One standout dish from the menu was the Lancashire beef Strip loin. Cooked to perfection, it was accompanied by a rich bone marrow sauce, crispy tempura onions, roasted Roscoff onion, dauphinois gratin, peppercorn, and burnt cauliflower purée. The combination of flavours and textures was a symphony on the palate, leaving us craving for more. The staff at Mcleod 9 were not only engaging and attentive but also knowledgeable about each dish served. They were passionate about their craft and went above and beyond to
ensure that we had a memorable experience. What impressed us the most was their ability to strike the perfect balance between offering guidance and allowing us to savour our meal in peace….

Absolutely wonderful experience. It was my partners 50th birthday and her twin had come from Denmark to celebrate together. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate. What beautiful food and a new experience for us

Excellent. Food was fabulous, service excellent. Only criticism is the wine selection. We drink white but don't like Sauvignon Blanc and that was the only choice.

A very enjoyable evening with excellent service . The food was very good ( perhaps a couple of dishes were not as warm as they could have been ) and it was quite noisy but not overly so and only because everyone in the room was talking and enjoying themselves . The drinks were reasonably priced as was the food .

Excellent tasting experience. The 2 of us got the first night of the new menu again and that's always interesting.....this time I really liked the mix (just the soy ravioli bit strong for the fish) but the second person was not keen on a couple of dishes a bit packing in strong flavours. That's the joy of a tasting menu to get different things and you never know.....

Our first visit, loved it and cannot wait to go back. Food is super tasty and really good value for the quality of dishes you get. Top food and top service from the 2 front of house staff who were perfectly efficient, friendly and informative. Whole experience was perfectly paced from start to finish.
Fine dining food and a rare treat in this particular region. Whilst we are spoilt in the North West as a whole, it normally involves travelling 45 mins+ in all directions (for us) to get this sort of experience.
Only slight criticisms, we felt that the size of wines given as part of the wine flight were potentially a bit on the small side (albeit, very good). Prices looked similar to the wine that could be bought by the glass, but they were much bigger glasses.
Was also left wondering if the food portions could be a fraction bigger - although was it more that it was perfectly balanced and we were just missing the feeling of being bloated like we had gorged ourselves to a near coma. Regardless, we are definitely going back again!

Drinks package was slightly overpriced, would prefer a steak knife as a table knife was not sharp enough for the beef loin dish. Staff were informative on food and wine and pleasant. Would definitely recommend and book again.

This was our second time dining with you but I was a little disappointed this time. Two dishes were very spicy and too hot for me to enjoy. This was quite a divisive choice for the menu. The leak replacement for the fish course I also didn’t enjoy but that is a personal thing . I’m not a huge lover of leaks. The beef was lovely and we both really enjoyed the snippets

Good place, nice ambiance.
Good service and very informative.
Wine flight good but could really concentrate on local (English and European) wines to reduce air miles.
Could do with more volume-say 100ml.
Would like more veg with main course.
Bread and the butter was fantastic.
Not so keen on the deep dishes as didn’t show off the food and difficult to eat from.
Dessert clever, but less interesting.

Hi
The food and service was absolutely fantastic. However, we felt the restaurant could have been made more suitable for evening - candles, fairylights, music etc.
