You’re perfectly placed for Bath and Bristol here, tucked into the Mendips in a pretty village that loves its 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. Tuck yourself into a corner and order a Welsh rarebit – produce is grown in the kitchen garden – or grab a Moroccan blanket and an armful of cushions and head for the riverside terrace where there’s a converted horse box bar, barbecue, fire pits and up-cycled beer barrels to perch on. The whisky bar is a temptation all of its own, as are the splendid Sunday roasts. Bedrooms, some above the bar, some in the adjoining mill, are individually and stylishly decorated. Beds are big and comfy, baths and showers sparkle. Clever cottage-style suites on the ground floor let you bring the family without feeling cramped; one is designed for the less able. It’s not often an owner has thought of everything but Sally is a star, and the Litton shines out as special.
A very enjoyable stay. We had two connecting rooms which were comfortable. Food was very good (my duck was cooked perfectly) and the staff were friendly and efficient.
