"There’s a reason this thatched pub has held its Michelin Star for 17 years. The menu is founded on quality local produce, which is used in more elaborate dishes than you might expect from the pubby surroundings. It’s a 13th Century property that was built by the masons who constructed the nearby church and exudes plenty of rural charm.

"Husband and wife, Mark and Sarah Dodson, run this pretty thatched pub in a secluded little village, which boasts spectacular views over Exmoor’s rolling hills. The cooking is more sophisticated than you might expect to find in a pub, with a concise seasonal menu of attractively presented dishes firmly rooted in British and French classics. Dishes are refined, with pronounced and assured flavours; Mark has plenty of experience and employs the finest local produce to full effect. Service is charming, attentive and a perfect match for the food." - Michelin Inspector
