The Experience
This 17th-century thatched inn gives you a warm welcome, rooms with views of the village and much attention to detail: bathrobes, snazzy bath stuff, fresh milk in a china jug, little bags of shortbread.
Choose a table by the fireplace in the downstairs pub or in the Provençal-style courtyard and allow yourself a full Somerset breakfast – pastries, fruit compote and yoghurt; eggs with pork and marmalade sausages or scrambled eggs and smoked salmon; porridge with brown sugar and cream. The food is fresh, seasonal and local with much made, cured and smoked in-house; the atmosphere is easy going but refined, with proper silverware and linens.
Walks leave from the door, to the 13th-century Grade I listed church or the famous Spreading Oak Tree, or you can drive to stately homes – Montacute House, Forde Abbey House and Gardens – in 15 minutes. The Blackdown Hills AONB and the Jurassic Coast are only half an hour’s drive. Return for supper in the pub and the best night’s sleep.

We had a lovely stay at the Lord Poulett. The staff were all very welcoming - it was almost like being hosted by friends. The food in the restaurant was incredible and the breakfasts perfect for setting you up for the day (wish we'd tried the bloody Marys!). Our room was elegant, clean and very comfortable and we arrived to melt in the mouth homemade shortbread. Would definitely recommend or stay again!

What a treat to trundle down the sleepy Somerset lanes to Hinton St George where the Lord Poulett shines under its fresh thatch. Inside is all sparkling glassware and cosy corners, the outside areas are wonderfully evocative, and there's a choice of firesides. Food is served by smiling staff who know they're bringing something special to tempt your tastebuds (our fresh salad was splendid). Rooms are above-pub perfect with deeply comfortable beds, lovely curtains and headboards, shortbread treats and excellent WiFi. Heaven.

Location
The neighbourhood
Hinton St George is a wonderfully sweet and pretty village, most of it a conservation area, found down a wandering lane ten minutes from the market town of Crewkerne and five minutes off the A303. As well as a 13th-century Grade I listed church, there’s a village hall, shop and tea rooms.
Local points of interest from Dan Brod & Charlie Luxton
- A Beckford pub, traditional yet contemporary one of four in the South West of England. Individual in style and creativity, united in hospitality. Our two restaurants in Bath are convivial environments to enjoy great wine, food and warming hospitality.
- Hinton St George is a beautiful, ancient village with fabulous walks into the countryside. Slightly further afield we are surrounded by many attractions and activities. The Jurassic Coast is thirty-five minute away from the pub with its outstanding beauty
- Fancy an early evening stroll or dog walk before supper, a pleasant way to spend forty minutes. Introducing our high street. The walk goes past the church, through the churchyard and The Poulett tomb is worth a visit. Ask us for information.
- Hinton House has gardens and pleasure grounds of around 6 hectares and a landscape park of around 494 hectares (200 hectares at its modern extent). The park dates from the late-17th century and mid-18th century onwards.
- Only 18 miles from the pub, the historic seaside town Lyme Regis is in an area of outstanding natural beauty, where West Dorset and East Devon coastlines meet and fossils found. The town itself has a fascinating history stretching back to the 8th century.
- Montacute House, a masterpiece of Elizabethan Renaissance architecture and design, with towering walls of glass, glowing ham stone and one of the few Elizabethan houses in England to still have its compartmentalised garden, enjoy no matter what the season

Introducing
Dan Brod & Charlie Luxton
Dan Brod, Charlie Luxton (ex-Soho House) and Matt Greenlees are the dream team that head up four pubs with rooms in the South West, plus the Beckford Bottle Shop in Bath. They have a talent for making their ventures super stylish: comfy bedrooms, superb food and good value are their not-so-secret ingredients. Charlie's wife, Chloe, produces the Bramley range of smellies that you find in each place.
