Dating to 1480, the Talbot is a coaching inn wrapped around a cobbled courtyard in the storybook village of Mells, serving comforting British cooking, local ales and eight simple, characterful bedrooms. Wander down to Mells’ famous church of St Andrew a step away, or drive south to the moated ruin of Nunney Castle.
