Stay Near The Cotley Inn — One of Somerset’s Best Dining Pubs

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.
