Holcombe Inn  

Tucked in the Somerset village of Holcombe, this 17th-century Grade II listed 5-star country inn is a tranquil hideaway south of Bath. It’s perfectly placed for day trips to Bath, Wells, Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole, Longleat and nearby Bristol, plus local sights like Downside Abbey and Radstock Museum. Pet-friendly with two dog rooms, dogs are welcome in the bar and snug during meals.

The inn offers eleven en-suite guest rooms across the main house and three separate lodges. Lodges have private terraces and many rooms show period touches such as fireplaces and individually styled décor. Rooms vary by category and include complimentary Wi‑Fi and standard in-room tech (TV/DVD depending on room). The place pairs cosy, sophisticated country style with views over its kitchen garden.

Home to an award-winning restaurant that draws on produce from its own kitchen garden, plus a bar pouring local ales and a garden terrace for drinks. Free on-site parking and complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout. Two dog-friendly rooms and dog access to the bar and snug make this a genuine pet-friendly escape. Expect herb-scented mornings from the kitchen garden and peaceful country grounds.
