I was pleasantly suprise by the size and comfort of the rooms for the price, which although quite basic, were adequate for a short stay and great value. The staff were very welcoming and helped with our cases. It was a great location for walking to the shuttle bus. The downsides were the shared bathroom, steep stairs and no parking on site.

Lovely pub with great owners and good homemade Italian food, only downside was the actual room unfortunately ,shower in need of refurbishment including shower door not fixed properly to shower. the kettle has obviously not been used in months as it had mould inside,tried cleaning it and boiled it a few times but decided not to make tea in the end as I was put off. I’m sure the owners would have replaced the kettle if I raised the issue but as we were tired decided not to make a fuss. Lovely pub but unfortunately the room needs a some TLC , would happily stay again in future if improvements are carry out to rooms .

Very well managed and lovely place to stay. I wish I could have stayed more days. Very friendly restaurant and pub downstairs, everything taken care of. The area is accessible by bus in either direction (Wells or Bath) and the town itself is highly walkable. I would stay there again.

A grade II listed property in a historical part of Shepton Mallet. Took time to read up on the area, would recommend everyone to do that, very interesting. Comfortable bed, clean room and great hosts. Some noise from the road adjacent to the Inn, not a deal breaker. Would I stay here again Yes.

Spacious room but needs some work

Overall, room was very spacious, clean and came with an ensuite bathroom. The double bed was comfortable. However, the condition of the room was below standard. For example, the bathroom door had no door handle, the tv didn't work, the main bedroom light wasn't working, and no milk provided for tea/coffee. If these improvements were in placed would give it a 4-star rating.

Welcoming small inn

Staff were welcoming and helpful. Kitchen was closing by the time I arrived at 20:50, but I got a fantastic pizza. Good beer. Room was clean and comfortable, if a bit tired. Separate shower room and toilet were clean with quality toiletries. However ceiling light wasn't working. I'd stay again.

Staff very nice and helpful but toom was had stale/stuffy smell. Right on road and so quite noisy. Room decoration and furniture need updating. Difficult to see how this is a four-star, upscale B&B.

Room ok for the money. Food good but they did not have the likes off mushrooms or beans as listed. Breakfast was full English for £10.00 or a bacon sandwich was the same price.

No double glazing in the bedroom overlooking the main road resulted in too much traffic noise overnight. Also parking near the hotel was not good.
