House
and Gardens "Top Ten British Escapes" April 2002
"Tim and Emma Ford have been heaped with praise (and awards)
for their restaurant with rooms (six). A large garden enhances this
Georgian Dower house where the food has been described as 'superb'.
Dorset
Magazine "Eating Out" September 2001
"Exceptional - enough said".
Saturday
Guardian "Gourmet Hotels" September 2000
"Tim and Emma Ford who met whist working at Sharrow Bay,
are gaining recognition for the quality
of his cooking and of the service at their peaceful Georgian house
near Yeovil. Ask for the roasted sea bass with baby fennel and
girolles".
Sunday
Times "Best hotels in Britain" September 2001
"The dining room has a restrained elegance, leaving the
food - a take on modern British to do the talking. It did'nt dissapoint:
the main course of roast Guineafowl with wild mushroom risotto
was excellent, the lavender ice cream sublime, and every dish
beautifully presented, well balanced and delicious. Better still,
it was complimented by a down to earth but comprehensive wine
list that included plenty of well priced half bottles - foodie
heaven".
Somerset
Life Magazine "Somerset Gourmet" February 2002
"Having heard about Tim's efforts to choose only the
best of local beef, I sampled it in the form of Medallion of local
beef fillet with wild mushrooms and a red wine sauce. He's right.
It was perfection. The true flavour of British Beef came through,
complemented with my separate dish of glazed celeriac with parmesan,
fine beans and pommes dauphine".
Tatler
Restaurant Guide - March 2003
"This is a model of a small country house hotel - Tightly
run but relaxed. Tim Fords cooking is imaginative without being
avant-garde. Prices are a steal".
Saturday
Times - May 2004
"Little Barwick House is one of
the best restaurant with Rooms".
Sunday
Telegraph - July 2004
"Tim
and Emma Ford have created a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere at
their beautifully restored Georgian dower house, where Tim's faultles
cooking pulls in a year round crowd of enthusiastic locals and
overnighters".
Saturday
Guardian - February 2005
