This recently renovated Regency coaching inn has a snug bar and grand ballroom with minstrel's gallery, plus 16 modern rustic rooms defined by rich floral wallpapers by Designers Guild and Osborne & Little. The market town of Bridport is in River Cottage country, too, so you can be sure of seasonal, organic food, and the Jurassic Coast is hard to beat for walking off a post-wedding-party hangover.
