The Litton

This is a bit of a hidden gem. A short drive from Wells and Glastonbury. There are also nice footpaths around the village of Litton and the reservoir. There was a slight hiccup with the room choice but we were given a free upgrade to compensate. We had the luxury room with the roll top bath. The room was immaculately maintained. We had requested one that didn’t overlook the car park and was a bit further from the bar but there was no noise after about 11. A recommendation would be to add blinds and keep the curtains closed during the day before guests arrive. Luckily for us it wasn’t too hot when we stayed. Bathroom nice and spacious, bed comfy. Plenty of tea and coffee. I loved the restaurant food. So great to have pie with chunks of meat and the veg was just the right side of crispy. We also had drinks in the outside areas. And the staff were all incredibly attentive and helpful.

It's a 'no brainer' to give The Litton 5☆'s. Situated on the edge of the village, set well back from the road, this pub/hotel is in a great location. There are seating areas to the front, side and rear of the premises, some of which are covered, for protection against the sun, or showers, with several of them also including heaters, for cooler times. Inside also offers several different, tastefully decorated eating areas/styles, so take your pick. Sally, the owner, has clearly invested a lot of time, effort and expense into designing and then decorating this place, as attention to detail is all around to see. That too goes for the staff. A young, energetic, very courteous and attentive team, without being intrusive. At the time of our visit, The Litton was not too busy, so I was fortunate to be able to have a chat with the general manager, George. Clearly very passionate about The Litton and has obviously invested a lot of himself into making the place and his team a well oiled machine. George himself deserves 5☆'s alone. The food and drink we enjoyed on a Friday evening was so good, we returned the following morning, for breakfast and the prices were very competitive too. You can tell the difference between this privately owned establishment and some of the large hotel chains, as the staff here clearly care about their customers and all seemed happy in their work. If we didn't live over 150 miles away, this would be our new local. So if you are in the area, pay a visit to The Litton, I'm sure you will receive a warm welcome

On a trip with my family from Denmark we just hoped in for lunch. I ordered pulled pork on a flatbread. It was more like Mexican tortillas I got and not a good one. Please serve some simple good food instead of trying to make it fancy. I really don’t know what I got, and the taste of the pulled pork was not amazing.
