Its a great pub, great food and warm freindly owners and staff. We will use here again .
Pros:

We are three mates that was looking for accommodation within 15 mins drive to Shepton Mallet show ground for the classic bike show, having travelled down over 200 miles. We were greeted at 9pm and although the kitchen had closed, they knocked us a meal up and was spot on. It's a cracking pub and our room was in an annexe and had an upper level with two beds and a double on the ground . It was perfect for the three of us.

Cons:

No complaints at all.

Lovely friendly Hotel/Pub, and nothing was too much for them..even when the frog came to breakfast !
Pros:

The room had been cleaned as I had allergies to feathers and any animal furs, so they made sure it was immaculate. I had no trouble during our 3 day stay.Breakfast was brilliant, served by very help staff. Chef accommodated food wants too. When I asked for fish and chips he even made me curry sauce to go with it. Loved everything.

Cons:

There was nothing we didn’t like. The hotel was so clean and even funny when they ran out of toast nearly one morning, as one table nearly ate it all…🤣. We would come back again. So Thankyou.
