The Experience
Walk in to exposed stone walls and a cosy fireplace at this traditional inn. Bedrooms are directly above, or in a separate conversion, but all are stylish and fresh, with smart TV, Roberts radio, Dyson fans and carefully dressed beds. Mini bars are packed with treats, some on the house, including a little bottle of prosecco and Tyrrells crisps. Bathrooms all have good showers and Bramley soaps.
A hearty breakfast is served until 10.30: full English, shakshuka, smoked salmon (from Severn & Wye Smokery) with avocado, lots of plant-based options and breads from Hobbs House Bakery. Walk it all off from the door – you’ll find a thoughtful guide to local routes in your room, from gentle strolls to rugged hikes through the Mendip Hills AONB. Return to a rewarding pint of Butcombe beer in the garden.
Dinner is much better than average pub grub: the menu changes four times a year, there’s a specials board and Sunday lunches are popular.

Location
The neighbourhood
Apart from all the heavenly walks there is much to see and do. Wells is half an hour for the cathedral and a good market on Wednesdays and Saturdays with over a hundred stalls. Cheddar is just down the road for the caves and buying cheese, Wookey Hole has an interesting tour packed with history, Glastonbury is well worth visiting. You're 15 miles from Bristol and the airport is just seven miles.
