Tucked into a Somerset valley, this seventeenth-century honey-stone inn pairs food overseen by Margot Henderson of London’s Rochelle Canteen with five comfortable bedrooms and a proper locals’ bar. The daily menu leans hard on Somerset produce. Combine a stay with a trip to nearby Bruton and the sculpture-filled gardens of Hauser & Wirth’s Oudolf Field to the south.
