The Barrington Boar

The Hamstone building dates back to the 18th-century and you’re greeted by the whiff of log-burners and friendly staff. You’ll eat well: the restaurant has a seasonal menu, mostly sourced from local farms but also foragers, brewers and cheesemongers living within a few miles. This is cider country and you can join an Apple Heritage Walk to tour and taste, then come back for lunch. You’ll also find artisan gins, English sparkling wines and craft beers.

Bedrooms (one is dog friendly) have been created out of an old skittle alley and come with big beds, fresh flowers, flat screen TVs, Nespresso machines, tea from Miles in Porlock and homebaked chocolate brownies. In the sparkling showers you’ll find sustainable soaps by Hog & Tallow and soap dishes from Barrington Pottery.

Wake for home baked sourdough, sausage and bacon from Sausage Shed, eggs from nearby Lopen, tomatoes and mushrooms from Arthur David and a lazy start with a newspaper.
