We had a nice time at the Pecking Mill. It was clean, the room was extra large, with a double bed and two single beds. The breakfast was cook nicely and was hot. There were cereals, yogurts, toast, orange juice and hot drinks. A lovely place to stay.

The Owner Geoff is Fantastic, Tried his freshly cooked food it's excellent and he uses local produce. Pippa the assistant couldn't do enough to help us, great local knowledge,pleasure to chat with. The only downside for myself and the wife was we thought we had booked a room with a bath, one of the reasons we selected this hotel, but unfortunately,it's only the family room that has the bath not the double, We would definitely stay here in the future and book the family room We had a Cozy sleep, Not much traffic noise, we gave the cooked breakfast 5* for value and quality of local ingredients.

Lovely stay.
Stayed overnight prior to a day at the East Somerset Railway 10 minutes away.
Jeff welcomed us on arrival , and showed us to our room. Room was compact, but very comfortable, en suite, tea and coffee , tv and hairdryer in room , and very comfy bed.
Had a nice meal in the evening, served by a very friendly lady ( sorry we didn’t catch her name) , in the cosy dining room. We pre-ordered breakfast, which was lovely and set us up for the day.
All in all this was s great stay, with friendly hosts and great value. We would thoroughly recommend the Pecking Mill Inn.

Warm welcome in a lovely country pub. First class pub food reasonably priced, and well kept real ale. Compact room in excellent condition had lots of thoughtful little extras I didn’t expect in a pub with rooms, including mirror at right height for stool with hair dryer. Independent heating (not needed this time) and effective double glazing so no traffic noise.

Full of charm and very friendly
Friendly inn frequented by locals. Evening meal was excellent. Breakfast equally as good. Ran by a decent landlord who wanted to help. My Motorbike was wet in the morning after an overnight shower. He offered to lend me towels to dry it off. Not many places would have gone that extra mile. There is nothing really close by to walk to. But friendly people decent food and service is all I really need when im away. Id stay again

The Inn dates back to the 1600's, the owner who's been there about 22 years was lovely and his food was delicious. The rooms were clean and tidy although the bathroom was a little jaded but it suited us perfectly and we would go back
