Foodies will be spoilt for choice: local asparagus with duck egg and truffle mayonnaise then maybe, scallops and belly pork duo? Peter Mundy goes for taste, innovation and beauty in dishes that get rave reviews and the revamped pub setting has a woody, easy-going feel with the promising sparkle of well-polished glasses.It’s just an after-dinner flight of stairs to sleek rooms; cleverly designed for the building’s cottagey bones; each has an easy chair and Quail, the smallest, the biggest shower room. Have a lazy breakfast in bed, in the restaurant or in the café/bakery around the corner.Take a stroll around the town and Church of St Michael and All Angels; there are pleasant local walks; more dramatic routes up on Exmoor (and space for clobber at the back door); ask about fishing, riding, picnic lunches – the team here are very helpful.
