There’s something about Somerset’s landscapes that take your breath away. Windy, narrow country lanes (Londoners beware) that give way to lush fields, morning mists that rise above the woods and candyfloss skies where birds gather at sunset. It’s a backdrop steeped in legend and the antithesis of urban living.
Nested on the edge of Somerset’s Mendip Hills, just 30 minutes from Bath, lies The Langford Inn, a recently refurbished 17th-century country inn offering a bucolic weekend getaway for city-weary souls. Butcombe, the brewer and hotelier, took over the pub’s reins in 2019, kick-starting a huge renovation project and reopening its doors in 2021. This year, even more spaces have been given a stylish sprucing-up: there are now 10 boutique bedrooms ranging from cosy doubles to sweeping suites, located either in the main building or adjoining stable block.
