Charming Somerset hotel with award-winning restaurant

The Lordleaze Hotel, Chard, South West

Property details

Escape to an 18th-century hotel with an award-winning restaurant, near the Blackdown Hills in the Somerset countryside, including breakfast and dining discount.
  • Idyllic countryside setting: Thanks to its Somerset location in the heart of cider country and its taste for only the best local produce, the family owners behind The Lordleaze Hotel collect awards like they collect empty plates from satisfied diners. After almost two decades at the helm, these include a three-star rating and a Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice 2021 award.

  • Award-winning dining: Head Chef Joe has crafted a regionally focused menu that uses only the finest local ingredients. Satisfying suppers bring together gastropub classics in a cosy setting overlooking the garden, with a selection of wines to complement all flavours. Afternoon tea here is a treat, while lighter bar meals can also be enjoyed alongside a glass of cider – you're in the heart of cider country, after all. No wonder the restaurant won a Taste of The West Gold Award.

  • Classic-meets-contemporary comforts: Traditional furniture and creamy hues help give this 18th-century farmhouse its comfortable, country house charm. The family owners continue the attention-to-detail they’ve earned a reputation for right through the 23 bedrooms, which feature everything you could need for a feel-good, homely stay, from plush beds, linens and furnishings to en-suite bathrooms with luxurious toiletries.
