The Daily Telegraph
Exploring the Blackdown Hills on the Somerset-Devon border, William Sitwell found rural
bliss in a country boozer that manages to “balance locals and visitors, mud and high heels”:
“it’s called The Cotley Inn and I challenge you to find a pub that combines
such welcome, warmth, style and flavour”.
The inn is “gloriously entrenched in the culture of the Blackdowns”, with “a
menu of hearty food to match”. Fruit, veg and game are all local, bread and
chutney are made in-house, and even the crockery is from a nearby pottery.
Dishes including feather blade of beef and red mullet with fennel, butter
beans and chorizo were “beautifully orchestrated” and “dressed with
precision and poise”.
