Holm

The building, which was once a bank, has high ceilings and light floods in from tall windows downstairs, original art hangs on the walls, the furniture is cool mid-century, the atmosphere is calm but purposeful, the team dedicated to feeding you very well indeed. Seasonal menus change regularly and they are refreshingly small – just really good ingredients from the South West, cooked with love by head chef Tom.

Bedrooms on the first floor (and two up in the eaves) are restful, uncluttered and attractive, gorgeous soaps and lotions from Haeckels scent the bathrooms and you’ll find a treat or two along with an honesty mini bar. Wake to a three-course breakfast, unusual and tasty with freshly baked bread. Take a newspaper to the charming sitting room afterwards or head out to explore the village.

In summer the outdoor terrace is the place to sit with a glass of something from the nourishing drinks list, pondering the menu. Nice.
