    Possibly nice to have an extra plug socket as was very warm during our stay and we couldn’t use fan and charge phones

    Lovely old pub, perfect for us with 2 small dogs. Adequate parking. Great breakfast and we had an evening meal also excellent. As you don’t pay extra for pets or parking can work out cheaper than travelodge

    For us, there were a few things. The mattress was really not comfy. Dipped either side with a lump down the middle. The bathroom door is a slide door and doesn't quite close properly, but some people might not mind that. Also, I'd wished there was a shelf in the shower for my products. Mainly it wasnt the room that let us down it was the meal which neither of us enjoyed, although the service was great, the food was trying too hard to be fancy but it fell flat, there was a lot wrong with it but it was edible and it was my birthday so we just got on with it and got to the drinks!

    The staff were amazing. Everyone that served us, from greeting to showing us to the room, to drinks to the evening. Really exceptional - that really stood out. The room was clean and nicely decorated - the bathroom was honestly gorgeous. The room itself was very nice. Drinks were reasonable price, atmosphere of the pub was very nice. We had lovely drinks and felt very welcome - really noticeably great staff.

    Room was small , bathroom was pretty cramped . Probably would be annoying for a long stay but for our one nighter it was fine . Complicated online check in that saves a pass on your iPhone, that we were asked for .

    Traditional English pub , nicely renovated . Room was upstairs in an outbuilding just across the courtyard. The staff were excellent, bar staff , dinner was great and breakfast and lady that served us were gear . It’s totally dog friendly which was why we picked it . A few minutes from Glastonbury Tor.

    I was there for business and needed to leave around 7-7.30 am. Breakfast was only served from 8am which on week days seem a bit late. Nevertheless, the staff was amazing and helped me out with a yoghurt.

    Had a lovely stay. Second time staying in the hotel. Very friendly staff, delicious food and cosey nice room. I’ll be back

    We didn't stay another night

    The staff were lovely and very welcoming. We checked in late, and they called to make sure we were okay. Very friendly when we arrived. The room was AMAZING! The bed was super comfy, and the bath was to die for. Lovely toiletries to use, and we loved the little touches like the water and jelly beans.

    We had a sandwich for lunch and the bread was a little stale so the sandwiches were a bit dry. We didn’t have the chance to try anything else but weren’t overly impressed by the sandwiches.

    Lovely old building with modern and clean rooms and bathrooms. The room was cosy and very comfortable. The staff were very helpful and welcoming too.

    metal stairs daunting especially in rain - also brolly to borrow by upstairs door would be good.

    Room was a lovely surprise & was super clean. Evening meal was fab and guy who signed us in & served us was excellent. A interesting place will stay again. Only issue was metal stairs & we were rained on. Brollies by door would be useful
