Read guest comments

Find warm interiors, local ales waiting in the bar, delicious food that draws a crowd and large, peaceful bedrooms in a separate building well away from any noise with roomy beds and smart bathrooms - a sweet Shepherd's Hut too. At the pub, you walk in to a cosy world of original wood floors, whitewashed walls, smouldering fires, low beamed ceilings. It's small but perfectly formed, with snug rooms giving a Dickensian feel. It dates to the mid-1700s and while a 21st-century makeover brought colour and style it has lost none of its original charm.

The airy bar has an open fire and 25 wines by the glass, then board games and doors onto a terrace for lunch in the sun.  Breakfast on muffins with scrambled eggs, the full Monty, smoked haddock. Well-crafted modern dishes show respect for British classics but will also suit those craving a global twist. You'll eat very well.

Set off on spectacular walks in the Blackdown Hills and South Downs.

Guest feedback
"The rooms and facilities at the Halfway Bridge are beautifully designed and comfortable. We stayed over a weekend when we unexpectedly faced a family crisis. The staff could not have been more generous and kind during a difficult few days. We will certainly be back."
