“Good but not 4 star”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2009

This pub is in the middle of no where and best reached with a four wheel drive. The bars had a good atmosphere and the food we ate including breakfast was very good. However, we stayed in room 5 and it was definitely not 4 star. The room and bathroom had not been cleaned to a 4star or £90 per night standard. The mirrors had clearly not been cleaned, although the towels and bedding were very clean. The toilet had a dirty mark in it. The carpet was very grubby. The tea making facilities were in the bottom of the wardrobe with nowhere else to place them other than on the floor. The balcony door would not open and staff told us you had to push the handle up hard which we had already tried. Good job we didn;t want to use it as it was raining. The shower was very good, hot and powerful but the rooms generally need a spring clean - a carpet cleaner and a couple of new lampshades together with a good dust would make all the difference to a tired room. The keys we were handed didn't open the access door when the pub was shut. The reception we got from the bar staff when we arrived was not very welcoming as he couldn't speak much english - or chose not to. All in all the pub has obviously got a good reputation, but if the management don't get to grips with the cleanliness of the furnishings thorughout, people may not be recommending this place much longer. It would be interesting to know when they were last rated.

“Fantastic place with only a minor "but..."”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2009

This place is a gem, nestled deep in the beautiful English countryside. It is also one of the few places near Bath that will allow one night stays at the weekend, a boon if you cannot escape for two nights. We stayed in Room 2 which has a shower and no bath but what a shower - huge and powerful, loved it. Our hosts were welcoming and friendly, the room clean, "boutique-y" feeling and a good size, there was also a balcony to enjoy the glorious views. The evening meal was great and the resturant packed, a testament to how good this place is as it is hard to find. Happily as a resident you get a reserved table, otherwise it would have been a long wait! Breakfast was absolutely wonderful, the best I've eaten so far in an hotel.

However there are a few "buts"... The restaurant smells wafted directly into the room so having the window open during cooking times was unpleasant as was sitting on the balcony. There was nowhere to plug in the kettle - it had to remain on the floor. This also mean that using a hairdryer and straightening irons was a contorted affair and there is no dressing table in this room. These are minor gripes but perhaps a high level plug and extra table with mirror should have been provied - it would certainly have made the room more easy to use.

Those moans aside I would definately return here - it is a glorious place at a remarkable price - but I would avoid room 2!

“Perfect for relaxing weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2008

Lovely place to stay - friendly staff, gorgeous rooms, completely in the middle of nowhere so wonderful for a special relaxing break. Would definitely go back - food great, wide range of drinks and the Manager goes the extra mile to help with any special requests. A perfect find.

“The perfect break”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2008

person found this review helpful

To look out over fields and countyside for miles from your balcony
or take a seat in the garden with a drink or book is beautiful.

The range of beverage choice is extensive and our food was delicious with perfectly cooked vegetables teamed with local meats and fish, the menu has something for everyone.

The service, even with a full resturant, was excellent. The atmosphere of the Inn is as good as it looks in the brochure.

  • Liked — The efficient shower, the view, the balcony with seating and table, comfortable bed.
  • Disliked — Nothing

“service with a smile”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2008

We have just spent eight nights at the inn. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome, and no request was too much trouble. The owner and his staff were friendly and attentive. The room was delightful and an extra bonus was the balcony to sit and soak up the sun and sounds of the countryside. This location was ideal for access to the surrounding area, with Bristol, Bath and Wells only a few miles away. The food was excellent and good value for money. We will certainly return in the future. We have no hesitation in recommending this inn as place to stay.
