'The Litton' is a new exciting venture which began in March 2015 when the freehold was purchased. The original Kings Arms is steeped in history. At the foot of the Mendip hills, the Kings Arms was originally built in the 1420's, it started life as a food mill, becoming the focal point of the village of Litton as a meeting point for locals, farmers and producers. By the River Chew in the Mendips, close to Bath and Bristol, a wonderfully-revived and welcoming inn with smart rooms and scrumptious food
You're perfectly placed for Bath and Bristol here, tucked into the Mendips in a pretty village that loves its inn - and it's easy to see why. The Litton is a gem, where owner Sally and her team work hard and happily to make you feel at home. Tuck yourself into a corner and order a drink, snack or full meal - produce is grown in the kitchen garden - or grab a Moroccan blanket and an armful of cushions and head for the Riverside Terrace or Courtyard, or landscaped gardens where there's a converted horse box bar, barbecue, fire pits and up-cycled beer barrels to perch on. The Whiskey Bar is a temptation all of its own, as are the splendid Sunday roasts. Bedrooms, some above the bar, some in the adjoining mill, are individually and stylishly decorated. Beds are big and comfy, baths and showers sparkle. Clever cottage-style suites on the ground floor let you bring the family without feeling cramped; one is designed for the less able.
