Combe House Hotel ***In the heart of the peaceful natural beauty of the Quantock Hills, this lovely country house hotel has a convenient location, just off the A39, within easy reach of Bridgwater, Minehead and Taunton. Combe House is a stunning country retreat in a quiet wooded valley in the Quantock Hills, England’s first Area of Outstanding Beauty. The hotel offers comfortable accommodation in 18 luxury en suite rooms, including single, double, twin and family rooms. Each of the rooms is individually decorated, with its own unique character and charm. Open daily for lunches, afternoon teas and dinners, the award-winning restaurant uses the finest, freshest seasonal produce available locally to create mouth-watering dishes. The magnificent countryside of the Quantock Hills provides wonderful scenery and a great variety of short and long walks of varying degrees of difficulty. The restaurant, recently refitted with specially commissioned handmade Cornish oak and walnut furniture, is where breakfast and dinner are served. The menu draws on recipes from all over the world, gleaned by the head chef Laurence Pratt from 15 years of service in the Royal Navy, where the VIPs he served included royalty and Heads of State. Though the menu has an international flavour, most of the ingredients are from Somerset. Meat and game come from local farms and shoots, fish from Brixham trawlers, shellfish from the Bristol Channel and many vegetables from the organic kitchen garden within the grounds. Light lunches are served in the bar as well as on the lawn in fine weather, and there is a comfortable lounge for morning and after-dinner drinks.

The 99 km² Quantock Hills is a place of outstanding natural beauty and a landscape of contrasts, from the many sheltered wooded valleys with sparkling streams (like at Combe House) to the open moorland on the hilltops. The hills are a paradise for walkers, and you do not have to go far for a sensational view. Drive through nearby Exmoor, with its beautiful villages, stunning countryside and picturesque Dunster, with its famous Yarn Market and Dunster Castle and Gardens. Take a train on the West Somerset Railway, which runs steam-hauled trains between Minehead and Bishops Lydeard. Go fishing in the reservoirs at Durleigh, Clatworthy or Hawkridge and on Exmoor at the large and very picturesque Wimbleball Reservoir, where you can also sail and picnic. There are also several golf courses nearby to suit all levels of skill. Total number of rooms: 14 |
