“The Phoenix Hotel, a pub-hotel in Chard, positions itself as an entertainment hub, complete with a nightclub, late-night DJ, and a 17th-century ballroom; it's a lively spot, right on the main street near bus routes to Axminster and Lyme Regis. Breakfast is a hearty affair, with freshly cooked options, and the combination of SKY TV and free WiFi in the rooms ticks essential boxes, though some may find the late-night music a factor. For budget-conscious travelers who want a bit of life around them, this could be a solid choice.”
