Our Inspector's view

The Litton's role as the village hub stretches back to the 1420s when it started as a food mill and meeting place. It has come a long way since then but remains a very popular with both locals and visitors alike. Bedrooms, bathrooms and the public areas have all been refurbished to provide high standards of quality and comfort throughout. The kitchen serves a range of dishes using high quality produce from a menu to suit all tastes; breakfast is another treat of freshly baked pastries and local quality bacon, eggs and sausages. Many events regularly take place here from live acoustic music evenings to beer and wine tastings.

About the area

Discover Somerset

Somerset means ‘summer pastures’ – appropriate given that so much of this county remains rural and unspoiled. Ever popular areas to visit are the limestone and red sandstone Mendip Hills rising to over 1,000 feet, and by complete contrast, to the south and southwest, the flat landscape of the Somerset Levels. Descend to the Somerset Levels, an evocative lowland landscape that was the setting for the Battle of Sedgemoor in 1685. In the depths of winter this is a desolate place and famously prone to extensive flooding. There is also a palpable sense of the distant past among these fields and scattered communities. It is claimed that Alfred the Great retreated here after his defeat by the Danes.

Away from the flat country are the Quantocks, once the haunt of poets Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth. The Quantocks are noted for their gentle slopes, heather-covered moorland expanses and red deer. From the summit, the Bristol Channel is visible where it meets the Severn Estuary. So much of this hilly landscape has a timeless quality about it and large areas have hardly changed since Coleridge and Wordsworth’s day.
