Best gastro pubs with rooms in Somerset

Flower-bedecked without, warm and buzzy within, this pub-with-rooms in a Chew valley hamlet occupies three old, knocked-through miners’ cottages.

The Talbot Inn, Mells

There's plenty of history in this 15th-century coaching inn with its old arched carriageway, but it's been brought bang up to date by a shabby-chic make-over at no cost to its charm.

The Swan, Wedmore

Go where the locals go, in this lively village in the Somerset Levels: this bring-the-dog, kids-in-tow pub-with-rooms humming with a ‘lovely, informal atmosphere’.

The Red Lion, Babcary

Locals and tourists alike enjoy the friendly atmosphere at Clare and Charlie Garrard's thatched village gastropub, ideally situated to break the journey between London and the West Country.

The Devonshire Arms, Langport

From the outside, this 18th-century inn overlooking a green with a lime tree at each corner looks every inch the historic village pub, but within lies contemporary chic.

The White Hart, Somerton

A foodie spot in a friendly town skirting the Somerset Levels, this updated pub-with-rooms in the market square draws tourists and locals with its ‘good atmosphere’ and ‘delicious’ West Country menus.

The Lord Poulett Arms, Hinton St George

In a lovely conservation village, long under the feudal sway of the Poulett family, this thatched 17th-century inn is now a stylish dining pub-with-rooms, part of the fiefdom of the trio behind The Talbot Arms in 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.
