A stones through from the Festival

A very friendly stay. Comfortable & clean.
Mark, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great for a short stay

Our room was fine for a 1 night stay but I would not like longer because we had to share a bathroom and as there was not a sink in there he room it made life difficult. People with any mobility problems would find the very narrow windy stairs a big problem . We had a meal which was very well presented and the staff were very friendly and competent.

Nice welcome from owners. Excellent breakfast. Would stay again.
Steve, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

2/10 Poor

Dirty hotel and Spiteful Owners

Check in was clumsy as hotel isn’t open on Mondays. Rooms were basic, but dated and in need of renovation. 2nd night room was invaded by vermin coming through floor after eating through carpet. Had to sleep in car through fear and didn’t return. Asked for refund but refused and false allegation's of drug taking on property to counter claim for refund

Nadira, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Dana, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Amazing experience

Was very welcoming, clean and a good atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble. Very close to shopping centre, local parks, shepton prison. Food was beautiful, owners lovely to chat too, always clean and tidy.
Tanya, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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 .

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.
Craig, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Stephen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
