Details
Overlooking Chesil Beach, this 11th century manor house includes flagstones, Jacobean panelling, roaring fires and a cellar bar with a great choice of beer. Local sourcing is important, and the menu includes John Dory, Gloucester Old Spot sausages and jugged hare. Muddy boots welcome. 13 en suite rooms from £75.
Visited October 2008: less grand than it sounds, but comfortable and in a perfect location.
