Head under the carriage arch into the cobbled courtyard at The Talbot Inn, for another of the Beckford group’s masterclasses in country pubs: corners dimly lit with candles, roaring fires, walls covered in antique maps, local ales on tap and dogs nestled at the bar. Sunday lunch could start with a Talbot fried partridge with pickled red cabbage, or beetroot with Blue Vinney and Mells apples perhaps, followed by a blowout roast with local meat and deliciously oversized Yorkshire puddings.  

Nestled within the picturesque landscapes of Somerset, Babington House stands as a quintessential English countryside retreat. This elegant country house, set amidst sprawling grounds, exudes timeless charm and understated luxury. Originally built in the 18th century, Babington House has been meticulously restored to its former glory, offering discerning travelers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With its refined interiors, indulgent spa, and gourmet dining options, Babington House beckons guests to unwind and immerse themselves in the serenity of rural England.

A traditional pub with beautiful rooms and an old-timey feeling you cannot get anywhere else. This wonderful hotel has a great bar with delicious ciders and local beers. Cozy up by the fireplace or take a walk in the countryside, you really cannot go wrong. 

If there's one thing British cuisine has perfected, it's their pub grub. And not many places do it as well as The Three Horseshoes. From hearty pies, to the more refined grilled fish this spot really has it all. Dare we even mention their Sunday lunch! Pop on by after a country amble, even if it is only for a pint of real ale.
