Staffords Green Barn was wonderful! The location was fantastic, the accommodation was spacious and well heated as well as beautifully decorated. The corridors are wide enough for wheelchairs and every detail was thought of! The holiday was fantastic value for money and we highly recommend it! Thank you for providing us with some wonderful memories, we will be sure to return!

From our viewpoint this cottage was an excellent choice. Spacious and comfortable with excellent amenities for humans and dogs alike. A nice location within easy reach of good walks and nice dog friendly country pubs.
Cottage Review
Just a quick note to say how much I enjoy your pub. It is the second time we have visited and you are perfectly placed at the half way point on a lovely walk from south cadbury. I think you have the ambience, food and service spot on and I dearly wish all pubs could be this way. My only regret is that you are slightly too far from Taunton for us to visit more regularly but we shall definitely return. Keep up the good work!

Michelin Eating out in pubs
Expect nice touches like pistachios, good marinated olives and hand-raised pork pies on the bar counter. The young staff go out of their way to be helpful.
The Good Pub guide
This old stone pub gets a thumbs-up from drinkers and diners alike. Drop by for a pint of ale and a home-made pork pie, or linger over marinated duck breast, roasted pak-choi and sautéed garlic potatoes (£16.95)

Some pubs are perfect: a garden for the sun; a respite from the rain where muddy boots aren’t frowned upon; a fire warming the stone walls with its smoky heat; a destination on a spring afternoon: somewhere you can always find good beer, good food and good people. The Queens Arms is one of those rare places. Read the full article here.

You have to envy the inhabitants of the Somerset village of Corton Denham. Their stylish, yet effortlessly comfortable, pub has the feel of Chelsea meets the countryside: a hard act to carry off, but somehow it’s made to look easy.
Adrian Tierney-Jones – Daily Telegraph
‘Dogs and muddy boots welcome’ proclaims a sign outside the door of this ‘cracking’ country pub.
