Acorn Inn Photo The Acorn Coaching Inn is set in the very picturesque village of Evershot, in the heart of Hardy country (known as the Sow and Acorn in Tess of the d'Uberviles).  Built in the 16th Century, The Acorn Coaching Inn has been restored to its former glory by the current owners. Originally known as The Kings Arms, it once brewed its own ales with water drawn from the source of the River Frome.  All the original charm and character of 400 years exudes from the beamed bars and log fires that greet guests on arrival. Nestling among the rolling hills in an area of outstanding beauty and close to the British Heritage Coastline, you have the perfect base for exploring or walking.  The ten en suite bedrooms are individually decorated and have their own style and character, each taking a name from Hardy's "Tess of the d'Urbervilles".  Now with oak paneled bars, stone and wood floors, Ham Stone fireplaces adorned with carved Acorns, a wide selection of prints and water colours and cosy furnishings.

Head Chef Justin MacKenzie sources many of the ingredients  locally, using the finest produce available. Retaining our  has retained our AA rosette for the fifth year, we have added an RAC blue ribbon for our food. Here you will find a warm welcome and friendly and efficient service. The Village bar is frequented by people of all ages who want to come in for a drink and perhaps listen to the juke box, or play pool in the games room.   Alternatively relax in the Hardy bar and enjoy from our selection of malt whiskeys, Almanacs, or even Vintage Port.  Located 1 mile off A37 Yeovil - Dorchester road or 4 miles off A356 Crewkerne - Maiden Newton Road.
