It’s not often at the moment that somewhere makes such an impression on us that we make plans to return within 3 weeks of our initial visit. Date nights aren’t as frequent as they once were due to the toddler tornado, so when they do come around there are usually a raft of places on the waiting list that we want to try. However The Boat Inn made the cut for 2 consecutive date nights – firstly as a birthday treat for me at the end of November and then again just before Christmas. It ticked all the boxes, cosy, relaxed, fantastic food and just a 15minute drive away.
