Mattress was very uncomfortable - could feel all the springs through the lining. No breakfast available. Other meals limited. Shower cubicle not cleaned. Overall, won't be going back.

Firstly the manager and her family were lovely. I did find the shower could have been a lot cleaner and the mattress was very uncomfortable. The facilities being above a pub/restaurant were excellent. I was taken back slightly after finding out it had been noted as a haunted hotel which I was unaware about, however once I got past that I did have a laugh with the manager and decided to stay anyway. I do think maybe it would be good to inform people in advance of this somehow as I was away with work and was desperate to sleep. Slightly overpriced in my opinion as I do travel a lot and in comparison to other places it didn’t warrant the £54 a night. Definitely needing a revamp as the wallpaper in the hallways was also falling off visibly not a good look and as I said the mattress definitely needs changing. I’m Not sure I would stay again but the manager and her family were very nice and welcoming all the same. This is an honest review and if your into the supernatural I would definitely recommend.

Disappointed
Not what we were expecting. The service area was covered in peeling wall paper, selotape and almost non existent paintwork. One firedoor remained propped open with a fire hydrant throughout our 3 day stay.Our room and bathroom had long term dust and mould and the toilet seat was broken. Evening meal menu was from commercial pre-prepared frozen packets and on arrival we were advised that the hotel does not offer any form of breakfast. No mention of that in the on-line booking blurb. The worst selection we have made for many a long year.

Looking for a place to sleep then it’s ideal, comfortable bed, good shower, lots of parking, quiet. Basic accommodation and a little tired but pretty clean. The pub does good food but closes pretty early during the week.

Traditional inn conveniently located
We need a place to stay the night on our way to East Somerset Railway and Longleat, and the Highwayman Inn provided exactly what we needed. It is reasonably easy to find and to far off the road. The pub was buzzing on Friday evening, with children birthday parties as well locals coming for food and drink. Staff are friendly and the food is good. Our room was very spacious but a little tired. Bed was a little too soft (but then I have a bad back, so hyper-sensitive to these things). Bathroom was good size but there was mildew and signs of damp near the window. The wardrobe was a small and did not have any usable hangers. The pub is closed in the morning (so no breakfast) but a kettle with a good selection of teas is provided. All in all, if a no-frills traditional inn is what you are after, this is it.
