“Arriving at this Somerset inn, I found rooms to be both generously sized and impeccably clean, many featuring powerful wet-room showers and comfortable bedding. The setting itself, overlooking rolling hills, provides a tranquil backdrop, while the kitchen surprises with a distinct Caribbean flair that genuinely impressed. It's the kind of place that makes you feel genuinely looked after, a thoughtful escape from the everyday.”
