By a bubbling brook in the Mendips, close to Bath and Bristol, a wonderfully-revived and welcoming inn with happy staff and scrumptious food

Read guest comments

You're perfectly placed for Bath and Bristol here, tucked into the Mendips in a pretty village that's fallen in love with its new inn - and it's easy to see why. The Litton is a gem, where owner Sally and her team work hard and happily to make you feel at home. As soon as you duck inside, you're wrapped in comfort, from reindeer skins on the sofas to mulled cider warming on the bar. Tuck yourself into a corner and order up a Welsh rarebit (ours was the best we'd ever eaten), or grab a Moroccan blanket and an armful of cushions and head for the riverside terrace where fire pits blaze, and kids can perch on colourfully upcycled beer barrels. The whisky bar is a temptation all of its own, as are the splendid Sunday roasts. It's not often an owner has thought of everything but Sally is a star, and the Litton shines out as special.

"A new favourite! Friendly staff, gorgeous food and lovely atmosphere. We had a really really nice time and will return as soon as we can!"

"Complete perfection. The pub was an absolute sanctuary on a wet November afternoon. Add to this a team of staff who simply cannot be faulted and can’t do enough for you, fabulous food - both dinner and breakfast and a luxurious bedroom in which to escape.... We simply didn’t want to leave. "

"What a lovely pub! Went for lunch with my mum and we both enjoyed it very much. The food was excellent - chicken supreme with smoked cheese croquette, full of flavour and texture - and the staff happy and helpful. A deserving award winner!"

"The last two times we tried to visit the pub was closed. However we tried again today and boy are we glad that we did. This is a fantastic refurbishment of the highest standard. Staff were very friendly and the Ploughman’s we had was excellent. We live fairly close so can now visit more often. However if you are holidaying or staying in the area and want to visit a real quality establishment add The Litton to your list, you won’t be disappointed. "
