Stay Near The Cotley Inn — One of Somerset’s Best Dining Pubs
Situated in the rolling Blackdown Hills, The Cotley Inn has become one of Somerset’s most talked-about foodie destinations.

Expect thoughtful, ingredient-led cooking that celebrates the landscape — native breeds, garden vegetables, slow-crafted flavours, and warm, understated service. It’s the perfect blend of refined dining and rural charm, and it pairs beautifully with a stay at Combe Head House.
