Inspector comments
"A classic country inn with nicely designed and furnished bedrooms."
Overview
Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the Grade II listed Swan Inn dates back to the 17th century. There's a wonderful atmosphere here, locals and visitors alike made to feel welcome and appreciated. Traditional features add to the charm with crackling fires in the winter months. Impressive bedrooms are above the pub and in an adjacent converted barn, the latter being dog friendly. Food is a treat, the seasonally changing menus making use of local produce. Breakfast is also special with an extensive choice of tempting combinations. A popular beer garden is available, also generous parking provision.

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.
