Best gastro pubs with rooms in Somerset

A dazzling array of hanging baskets bedecks this friendly pub-with-rooms, occupying three former miners’ cottages in a Chew valley hamlet.

The Talbot Inn, Mells

Take a historic village inn, then reinvent it as a dining-pub-with-rooms, in shabby-chic style, for the modern era.

The Swan, Wedmore

The ‘lovely, informal atmosphere’ at this ‘good-value’ pub-with-rooms brings locals and tourists to the pleasingly updated 18th-century beer house, in a lively village in the Somerset Levels.

The Red Lion, Babcary

With regional ales and ciders on tap, the charismatic Red Lion is as much a local watering hole as it is a contemporary pub-with-rooms, where owners Clare and Charlie Garrard ensure that in the cosy bar, with its ancient flagstone floors, exposed beams and open fires, both villagers and residents feel at home.

The Devonshire Arms, Langport

A former hunting lodge in a village that was once part of the Devonshire estate, this inn has been given a smart make-over by hands-on owners Philip and Sheila Mepham.

The White Hart, Somerton

‘There’s a good atmosphere’ at this bang-up-to-date pub-with-rooms, a foodie destination skirting the Somerset Levels.

The Lord Poulett Arms, Hinton St George

In a thriving village amid rolling farmland this thatched dining-pub-with-rooms has been made over in the signature style of sister inns The Talbot, Mells, and The Beckford Arms, Tisbury (see entries).

The Hatch Inn

Taunton

Overlooking the Blackdown Hills, a welcoming, dog-friendly country pub in an 18th century coaching Inn. It is surrounded by rolling fields and the Neroche Staple Fitzpaine Herepath (a 13.5 mile off-road trail) is close by. Bedrooms are neat and comfortable, and supplied with tea, coffee, bottled water; Chard is large enough to accommodate a family of four. In the bar, local ciders and wines accompany home-made food, such as calves liver with crispy bacon, creamy mash and gravy or Dover sole Benoit with Fowey mussels and a white wine crème fraîche sauce, and a choice of vegetarian and vegan dishes, all based on locally sourced ingredients.

Retreat to the tiny hamlet of Stanton Wick between Bristol and Bath for a warm welcome and plenty of West Country produce, from local lamb to seasonal game and fresh fish from Brixham. Food is an experience in its own right, thanks to the local larder as well as home grown produce grown from kitchen gardens as well as meat and fish that’s cured or smoked in-house.

Enjoy a stay in a bustling village pub that dates back to the 1700s, relaxing by the wood burner in the bar after a day of walking in the Somerset countryside. This part of the world is not short on traditional country pubs, but neither to they skimp when it comes to little luxuries such as organic toiletries and lush linens.

Somerset pubs with rooms range from five-star luxury escapes that are perfect for romantic weekends, to fuss-free getaways that instantly make you feel at home.
