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.

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.

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.

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.

Great Service - Limited parking
Limited parking off site and the road was very noisy at night making hard to leave the window open. However the service was excellent, staff went out of their way to help with whatever they could, and after a late arrival the Chef made us an excellent meal even though service had stopped for the night. Very pet friendly, water bowls and pet bed offered on arrival

Lovely for a short stay but be prepared
Stayed one night between visits to local area. Gentleman behind a very busy bar trying to deal with that plus us. Locals friendly as was the barman who manage to get us a table as we were stuck in traffic and arrived later than we had planned. Found parking near by so no issues there. Be aware shower/toilet room is shared with the other 3 bedrooms, no problem during our stay as don’t think there were any other guests. TV in room but no kettle as I was expecting as it’s on the list on my confirmation under home comforts. Looking at our paperwork on return home it does say coffee/tea in shared area under the header food and drink, this shared area was not pointed out to us. However there was a bottle of sparkling water in our room and as I said above we only stayed one night. We had to ask about the morning how to get out/what to do with the key. Also had to ask about the Wi-Fi code. Everything was very clean and toiletries were available in the shower room, towels in your room. We had a road side room, the windows are singled glazed and the road is noisy, especially when the lorries hit a dip in the road, it is also well lit by the outside street lamp. So if noise/light affects you be prepared with ear plugs and eye covers. We found the bed comfy but only one pillow each.

friendly B&B with great food
We had a great experience staying here - the owners are new and have only recently purchased the pub so they are still working on some areas. They seem like they are making a real effort and I think this will end up a really nice place to stay and eat / drink etc. We had dinner in the restaurant area and food and service was great. The room was fine - very clean and a good size. I found the mattress a little soft and not enough support but obviously this is subjective - some people do not like a firm mattress. Maybe two pillows per person or plumper pillows would be nice also. The shared bathroom is a good size and again was very clean. The new owners were friendly and also the barman was very helpful and polite and friendly. All in all we enjoyed our stay. Price was very reasonable also.
