Food is commonly described as tasty, good-value pub fare with hearty breakfasts, and the team often caters for early/late dining and dietary needs. Rooms are generally comfortable but compact and dated, with some front-facing traffic noise, limited power sockets, small or temperamental showers, and occasional patchy Wi‑Fi. Cleanliness is mixed, with many clean stays but recurring reports of dust, mould and minor maintenance issues; expect a budget-friendly character stay where hospitality outweighs polish.

Although, primarily by nature of the building, some of the interior is in need of udating. That said it is clean and comfortable. The landlord Jeff (or Geoff) is lovely, friendly, and a good conversation maker. The food is good and served with a friendly smile, by a lovely lady or Jeff himself. A warm, cosy log burning fire in the dining area too adds to the ambience. The hotel is within easy reach of the Bath & West Showground, ideal if ypur exhibiting there. This is my second visit and I will be back again next year.

The man that owned this pub is a really helpful and nice person. Breakfast was lovely each morning, and everything was laid out perfectly on the tables. Room was big enough for what we needed had en-suite bathrooms (shower was a little on the smaller side). They were boiling as we had some nice weather so probably best to bring a fan if you plan on staying in the warm weather. Lovely little beer garden too. We’d stay here again if in the area.

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.

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.

A roadside inn with a friendly team serving hearty meals. Plenty of outside space for the odd days the British weather allows. A table d’hote menu but nonetheless sufficiently varied, I especially liked the non battered whitebait. The en-suite rooms were clean and comfortable if a tad dated. The bed had a soft mattress but surprisingly I slept very well. Room 5 catches the traffic noise from the road somewhat, so avoid this room if that would bother you. For the price this inn is spot on, it’s not a boutique style place with a price to match, it is a roadside stop offering a good night at a budget price.

This is a great old fashioned pub with rooms and the cost reflects these values. The pub is ideally placed for visiting the Bath and West Showground and adjoining delightful Somerset towns of Wincanton, Shepton Mallet, Glastonbury, Wells and Street (Clarkes Village) to name but a few. The Landlord and staff are very inviting and helpful. Breakfast and evening meal (if chosen) are well cooked and presented and include local produce. A little gem alongside the A371. Thoroughly recommended and a return visit planned for next year.

Landlord delightful and accommodating. Other guests very friendly. Location super handy for the occasion I visited. The fact that parking and breakfast were included added some value but there really is no excuse for how knackered and poorly maintained the room was. Pub attached would be a great stop over for a group - food was tasty and good value. Electrical conduit and sockets hanging off the wall and shower hanging on by filler. Its was dirty too unfortunately. It’s not difficult these days for simple accessories to be replaced cheaply.

The welcome was warm and the bed was clean, we knew the rooms were a bit dated before we went but that was ok. The communal areas were more modern. However the cleanliness in the bathroom was poor - the sink wasn’t clean and the floor behind the door was dusty and there were a few stray hairs! The pipes running along from the radiator were really dirty. The shelves in the bedroom were dusty too. It’s a shame because other than that the place was nice. The chap in charge was charming - I just think a good clean and hoover in the stairwell would benefit the experience- oh and maybe 2 pillows each rather than one. Breakfast was lovely though!

Although I had a cooked breakfast, it consisted of one sausage, a small piece of bacon and ‘bulked up’ by beans and sliced potato. This was rather poor. The room could have been improved very cheaply. The bath mat had holes in it. There was only hand wash in the shower and a good mould remover was badly needed.

The only downside for myself and the wife was we thought we had booked a room with a bath, one of the reasons we selected this hotel, but unfortunately,it's only the family room that has the bath not the double, We would definitely stay here in the future and book the family room We had a Cozy sleep, Not much traffic noise, we gave the cooked breakfast 5* for value and quality of local ingredients.

Even though the other guests had all gone to bed and there was no one in the pub, the landlord was friendly and accommodating, he was willing to cook me some chips as I hadn't eaten much that day. We had a good chat about travels also. The room was clean and comfortable and I have no complaints about staying there and I would stay again. Thanks Jeff!

The pub is ideally placed for visiting the Bath and West Showground and adjoining delightful Somerset towns of Wincanton, Shepton Mallet, Glastonbury, Wells and Street (Clarkes Village) to name but a few. The Landlord and staff are very inviting and helpful. Breakfast and evening meal (if chosen) are well cooked and presented and include local produce. A little gem alongside the A371. Thoroughly recommended and a return visit planned for next year.

From the moment we arrived we felt welcome. Asked for a quiet room at the back and got one. Excellent location for our needs and the breakfast was very good. Would definitely return.

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.

They went above and beyond for my dietry requirements and nothing was too much trouble. They checked everything with me before serving and even got me some gf bread and sausages. The room was perfect, clean and bright. The bed was so comfy! The staff were so friendly welcoming and id definitely return if passing this way.

An excellent and pretty property with everything you could need in the room. The host was exceptional in making us feel welcome and cooking delicious breakfasts and evening meals. We will definitely stay there again next time we’re visiting the showground for the antique fair as it is situated so close to it.

Although I had a cooked breakfast, it consisted of one sausage, a small piece of bacon and ‘bulked up’ by beans and sliced potato. This was rather poor. The room could have been improved very cheaply. The bath mat had holes in it. There was only hand wash in the shower and a good mould remover was badly needed.

Helpful friendly Manager. Comfortable bed. Good shower. Excellent cooked breakfast incuded. We chose it from reviews and location a short drive to Bath & West Showground. On first impression it seems a little run down and the room was quite small but it was comfortable representing good value.
