Very enjoyable
Pros:

Lunch and Dinner were enjoyable, tasty, good value. My companion said she would like to eat there again. Despite a crowd in the area downstairs the bedroom was quiet, which is not often the case in pub accommodation. The views from the bedroom window were inspiring.

Cons:

Others have noted that the bedroom furniture is a bit ad-hoc and aged. With only one chair, the bed in the room I had is quite high, so two short people sharing would struggle to sit down. If working it would be useful to have a clear uncluttered desk or table at an appropriate height. When the area downstairs was packed with people using the free guest wifi it ceased operating in the bedrooms... a dedicated wifi address for hotel guests would be a real benefit since 4G does not work effectively either (I tried two different ISPs).

Great place for a weekend in the West Country
Pros:

Great location of authentic inn, just next door to Montacute House (amazing) in picturesque village, nestled in some beautiful if hilly countryside …
Great food and brilliant staff who bent over backwards to make it a good stay and were really relaxed when our family descended on the pub!
Nice beer garden too

Cons:

The rooms are a little shabby but perfectly comfortable

Pros:

There was a problem of water tank noise in room 2 but they moved us to another room without a problem. Breakfast and evening meals were good. The staff were friendly and helpful

Cons:

No wardrobes in both rooms 2 or 5 and just hooks on the wall and a couple of coat hangers. Bathroom light switch worked intermittently.
