A warm welcome awaits.

The Cotley Inn is a country pub with rooms in the heart of the Blackdown Hills, where seasonal cooking, comfortable stays and a warm, genuine welcome come together in a setting that feels both special and relaxed.

Just down the road, our sister pub, The Candlelight, shares the same passion for great food, good company and friendly hospitality, whether you’re joining us for a long lunch, a celebration, an overnight stay or simply a quiet pint.
