Warm welcome in a lovely country pub. First class pub food reasonably priced, and well kept real ale. Compact room in excellent condition had lots of thoughtful little extras I didn’t expect in a pub with rooms, including mirror at right height for stool with hair dryer. Independent heating (not needed this time) and effective double glazing so no traffic noise.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Geoff was very friendly, responded quickly to messages and provided an early breakfast for us.
Beng so close the the arena up the road it is very convenient.
I had the a single room which, for the price, is fine. It is clean, comfortable, with all the basic necessities.
Breakfast was delicious and there is a varied menu for evening meals.
Subpar place to stay & most expensive of this 28 day trip. I thick it was the owner was the only other person I saw during my stay. He was a nice enough chap. Perhaps near retirement. Stayed in Room #4. 3 nights in late-March 2025.
Negatives:
The towels were dirty, like old rags actually. When called out in the morning, he replaced... with more of the same!!! The silverware both in the room and in the restaurant during breakfast had a sticky film on them. Dirty! The "English breakfast" itself was barely that & fair at best with everything being straight out of the can especially the beans. Yogurt was had only with fruit out of plastic container "pure sugar bombs"! The toilet seat was not clean. The shower area was tiny and had the pull thing to activate it from outside the shower. The faucets at the sink were too stiff. Wi-Fi issues with connectivity and speed. No USB power. Lastly, the room had the whimsical 1800's style door lock, you know the kind that you can peep through. Which means you need the key to lock it from the inside. That's really a major safety hazard in a event of a fire, I recommend leaving the key in there. These are illegal in the U.S.
Positives:
Check-in was easy. Lot's of free parking (especially when your the only one there). Quiet.
Geoff was an amazing host. So welcoming and friendly. Knowledgeable about the area and further afield.
The food was lovely ate both nights of our stay as food was very tasty and the deserts were awesome. Breakfast was good with a variety on offer.
Thank you for a great stay and we will definitely return.
Down in the Area for weekend javibg gonecon the East Somerset a railway wanting to be close to Frome for Sunday as we planned a long walk.
Dunner on Saturday night, excellent, we both had Lasagne which was excellent snd breakfastvin morning equally good and very friendly service.
Worth booking if in the area.
Highly recommended staying here. The man who runs it is extremely pleasant and approachable. Food is amazing. Only down fall was the cleanliness of dishes. Bed was extremely comfy and had a great night sleep.

Unfortunately lots of road noise which prevented a decent sleep
Comfortable rooms and delicious complimentary breakfast. Used as a base to explore Glastenbury and Bath. Local town was only a short drive away. Enjoyed our stay
Arrived late Friday night to a warm welcome and warm clean rooms. Great sized family room with a double bed, tele and books in the 1st, with twin beds in a room that led from it. Hubby even managed to get a drink once we'd unloaded the car. Tasty breakfast with choice of cereals, yoghurts and full English which could be adapted down to a bacon sandwich or something else if preferred. Friendly owner and car park adjacent where we could see our car from our room. Nice view of fields and sheep out of most of the windows.

500 year old Inn.whatever it lacks .the service of the owner makes up for it.very friendly and helpful.thanks
The Inn dates back to the 1600's, the owner who's been there about 22 years was lovely and his food was delicious. The rooms were clean and tidy although the bathroom was a little jaded but it suited us perfectly and we would go back
Stayed in the family room which was fabulous!!! Had 2 rooms with a double & 2 single beds in the other with connecting door. Lovley big bathroom too. Breakfast included & for £85 it was an ABSOLUTE BARGAIN!!!!! Quite a bit of road noise but you get used to it
