“This family-run establishment on the Somerset, Dorset, and Devon borders provides a snug getaway, complete with pet-friendly perks and locally sourced cuisine; with its well-maintained gardens and warm atmosphere, a peaceful and no-fuss break is easy to come by. Its proximity to rural attractions makes it a wonderful jump point for excursions, too. I think it's a solid choice.”
