The Experience
This is one of England’s oldest inns and you’ll find paintings, tapestries, old wooden clocks and big stone fireplaces in the public areas, where efficient staff whisk about serving great local food – all sourced in the West Country and cooked to perfection by the head chef. Pub classics are given a makeover and there are some surprises in the seasonal menus as well as delicious Butcombe ales and a decent wine list.
Bedrooms are in the main building or The Plaine. All are a good size with antique furniture, plump beds and places to sit with a book or a newspaper and a cup of tea. En suite bathrooms are modern and tiled, some with baths, all with Bramley soaps and lotions. On warm days you can eat and drink outdoors with a view over the village and church.
Walks from the door abound and you’ll find a guide to local ones in your room. Tuck into a hearty breakfast before setting off: full English, shakshuka or avocado on sourdough.

Location
The neighbourhood
It's a gorgeous village to spend time in, simply walking and eating good food. It's also a great spot from which to cycle – quite hilly. Bath is a half-hour drive for the beautiful abbey, culture, restaurants and shops and the famous Christmas market. You're also near to Glastonbury for a puff up the Tor and some splendid views or Wells for the cathedral and a very good street market twice a week.
