“This reimagined country inn, with its focus on local sourcing and carefully prepared dishes, struck me as a particularly appealing base for exploring the Blackdown Hills. The dog-friendly atmosphere extends from the cozy rooms to the beautiful garden seating, and the option of enjoying Badger beers makes it rather unique. I found it a place where historical charm meets genuine hospitality.”
