Our favourite BnB in the whole world! Martin and Melanie run an incredible guest house in the beautiful Castle Cary. I have visited twice now and plan another stay.The house is beautiful and the rooms extremely inviting. Breakfast is my favourite part - talking with Martin, Melanie and the other guests. The kitchen setting is exquisite and the food delicious with lots of lovely fresh fruits, eggs, granola, compotes. I was lucky enough to come on a day with poached pears.Perfect location to visit surrounding towns such as Bruton, Glastonbury and Wells.
