"Beautiful riverside terrace, gardens and courtyard"
Overview
A 15th-century village inn and former mill, transformed into a stylish, destination pub that offers contemporary boutique rooms. The bar is one solid piece of elm, reclaimed from an original ceiling beam, and there’s a dedicated whiskey bar, too. Modern British menus might offer roasted caramelised shallot tart Tatin with Homewood Farm goats’ curd to begin, followed by pan-fried Cornish pollock with chorizo, lemon and parsley crust, olive oil mash potato, buttered kale and sauce vierge. Finish with sticky toffee and date pudding, or passionfruit and vanilla cheesecake. Outside space encompasses the delightful Courtyard and charming riverside terrace, as well as the lovely landscape gardens with handcrafted furniture.

About the area
Somerset remains rural and unspoiled, and ever popular areas to visit are the limestone and red sandstone Mendip Hills rising to over 1,000 feet, and by complete contrast, to the south and southwest, the flat landscape of the Somerset Levels. Another popular spot, the Quantocks, once the haunt of poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, are noted for their gentle slopes, heather-covered moorland expanses and red deer.
