<br /> Perhaps it’s the proximity to Glastonbury Tor — five minutes away, across the Somerset Levels — but the Sheppey is a bit bonkers; there are regular scrumpy-fuelled soul nights, and zany modern-art prints hang alongside watercolours. Quieter moments are to be had too, on the riverside deck when starling murmurations fly overhead or kingfishers flash by. There are three stylish bedrooms and two cottages. Steak in truffle sauce is the speciality of the kitchen, and breakfast is a DIY affair comprising croissants, crumpets, cereal and fruit.<br /> Details B&B doubles cost from £110 a night (01458 831594, thesheppey.co.uk)
