Yeovil

The restaurant occupies a major part of the original Principle building dating back to the 17th century. The bar and the restaurant have been refurbished and although the design is stylish and contemporary, the building retains all its period features. Where possible, locally produced foods are used in all of their dishes. Diners can choose from a varied range of English/French-style cuisine, which is complemented by a list of fifty carefully selected wines.

Wonderful hotel just across the boundary into Dorset, where Thomas Hardy himself was involved in the design. Great service, comfort and cuisine.

In "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" this was The Sow and Acorn. Small atmospheric pub-with-rooms in 16th C coaching inn.

Wonderful little country house hotel, gets rave reviews for comfort and cuisine. Open Feb to mid Dec, no children under 5.
