Eat & Drink

The bar The Pot Kiln lies a few moments from this accommodation.

“What strikes me most is the dedication to Basque-style cuisine, cooked on a Parrilla wood and charcoal barbecue that's part of the dining room itself; the chefs clearly put on a show. The use of locally sourced game and meats points to a genuine connection with the surrounding area, and I'm intrigued by the dog-friendly approach, allowing pets in both accommodations and dining spaces.”
