Litle Barwick House Hotel

Barwick, Yeovil, Somerset

This privately owned Georgian house is a cosy getaway for those looking to explore the rolling green countryside and chef Tim Ford’s much-lauded locally sourced menu featuring ingredients including Cornish crab, local lamb and apples from a nearby orchard. Each room comes with fresh flowers, crisp linen and a plate of freshly baked shortbread. Make yourself at home with Ellie the dog, cats Max and Casey and a pony called Maverick (you are welcome to bring your own ‘well-behaved’ best friend). Doubles from £210, including dinner.
