The Barrington Boar

Modern British

££

Dating back to the 18C, this lovely stone-built inn sits in a picture postcard village and its back garden and terrace is a real jewel. The chef-owner’s personality, his experience in previous kitchens, and his knowledge of the locale, all inform his appealing menu of modern, balanced dishes that are big on flavour and guaranteed to hit the spot. Four bedrooms occupy what was once the skittle alley.

The Cotley Inn

Modern Cuisine

££

Despite being just a 10 minute drive from the centre of Chard, there’s a wonderfully rural feeling that accompanies a visit to this former 17C farmhouse. The inn is nestled in a lush green valley overlooking the Blackdown Hills, with its converted outbuildings turned into bedrooms. The cooking offers dashes of creativity while still delivering satisfying pub dishes like slow-roasted pork belly. They take a local, seasonal and nose-to-tail approach to their ingredients, with animals reared on site and produce grown in the kitchen garden.

Holm

Modern British

££

Situated within a charming village, there's something special about this former bank, which has been impressively converted into a spacious restaurant with eye-catching architecture. Sit in the chic dining room with its distressed designer style, bag a spot at the kitchen counter or head to the lovely rear terrace when the sun is shining. Choose from a range of menus, all of which are underpinned by a commitment to seasonal ingredients. If you want to explore more of the Somerset countryside, there are seven bedrooms available to stay the night.
