Hotels in Crewkerne

Crewkerne makes a relaxed, affordable base for touring south Somerset and west Dorset, without the peak-season price tag of the nearby coast. Options in and around the town run from traditional pubs-with-rooms in the centre, such as the historic White Hart Inn and The Crooked Swan, to farmhouse B&Bs and country inns scattered through the villages towards Chard, Beaminster and Yeovil. Staying centrally puts St Bartholomew's Church, the town's independent shops and the monthly farmers' market within easy walking distance, while a short drive opens up Ham Hill Country Park, Clapton Court Gardens and Montacute House. Because Crewkerne sits just off the A30 and close to the A303, it also suits visitors who want a quieter overnight stop while touring further into Devon, Dorset and the Jurassic Coast, or who are attending events at the county's larger show grounds. Booking ahead is sensible around the September Agricultural Show and in peak summer weekends, but for much of the year rooms are easy to come by at short notice.
