Perfectly placed with fabulous views of the Somerset landscape, gorgeous in the brilliant sun!! The room was spacious with a wet room en suite. Critically it had a power shower which makes accommodation for me - the bed was wide and very comfortable

8/10 Very good

The staff and owners made me feel very welcome and made my stay very pleasant. They even made sure I had a good breakfast before I left early in the morning. The stables were very clean and spacious as well as comfortable. I slept like a baby.

We loved our one night stay. Having checked previous reviews we had great expectations . We were not disappointed .Room was very spacious & comfortable with tea,coffee etc all to hand. The pub food was excellent with many menu choices. We plan to return when we are next in Somerset.

Spacious and comfortable in a lovely setting

We stayed for one night en route home from a holiday and visiting relatives. The inn was in a lovely position with great views over the countryside. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable with good amenities. Parking was right outside. We had dinner in the restaurant which had a good and interesting menu and we enjoyed our meal. Breakfast was very good. We would certainly recommend this inn and are keen to go back for a longer stay.

Fantastic Flying Fish

The room was lovely. Each one has it’s own parking space in front. Loads of space, bath and separate walk-in shower. Tea and Nespresso provided too. Huge bed - bigger than a superking - and really, really comfy. We were late arriving but Kate had been in to turn the heating on and came over to make sure everything was ok. Tasty breakfast in the pub the following morning. Very amiable and relaxing atmosphere. We’d definitely stay again and highly recommend

weding party

Very disappointing that after booking this room through hotel.com. I was charged an extra £65.00 for my room due to the visit being a wedding party
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We had a room in "The Stable" block which is just opposite the pub. We were able to park right outside our room. The room was clean and beautifully warm. The bed was massive, which was great. Kate & her bar staff were very friendly and we felt that nothing was too much trouble. Buddy was the chef whilst we were there & his Garlic mushrooms in cream were the best I have ever tasted! Thank you to both of you for making our stay with you so pleasant.
