Hidden down green-canopied country lanes in a remote part of the Wye Valley, this wonderful Michelin-starred restaurant-with-rooms is well worth the effort to find. Every plate proceeding from the kitchen is a little work of art, made largely with what can be sourced from within 12 miles and adorned with foraged herbs such as monkwort, nettles, wild garlic and elderflower.
If a sober driver is an unlikely prospect, book one of the eight elegant rooms upstairs. And if you're interested in foraging, join one of the excursions led by the Whitebrook's expert gatherer (£50 per person).
