One night stay perfect

This was a pleasant stay and ideal for one night, could have been a little cleaner. Jamie was the perfect host very helpful and friendly
Lynn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great for a short stay

Our room was fine for a 1 night stay but I would not like longer because we had to share a bathroom and as there was not a sink in there he room it made life difficult. People with any mobility problems would find the very narrow windy stairs a big problem . We had a meal which was very well presented and the staff were very friendly and competent.

8/10 Very good

This is a true local spot — expect pints being poured right at reception! Jamie, who runs the place, is a gem. Room was small with a charming view, though right on a busy road. Shared bathroom was clean but not the most convenient setup. Bonus points for the backyard garden and a great selection of proper beers.

2/10 Poor

Very old outdated, damp walls mould, wallpaper falling off the walls..one bathroom with one toilet shared between 5 guest rooms and very,very,very noisy from the traffic on main road nowhere to park as theres no car park...and even ivy growing in through bathroom window from outside! Would not recommend this to anyone!!

Perfectly good for the value. Good stay.
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very well managed and lovely place to stay. I wish I could have stayed more days. Very friendly restaurant and pub downstairs, everything taken care of. The area is accessible by bus in either direction (Wells or Bath) and the town itself is highly walkable. I would stay there again.
Dana, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I was pleasantly suprise by the size and comfort of the rooms for the price, which although quite basic, were adequate for a short stay and great value. The staff were very welcoming and helped with our cases. It was a great location for walking to the shuttle bus. The downsides were the shared bathroom, steep stairs and no parking on site.

Amazing experience

Was very welcoming, clean and a good atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble. Very close to shopping centre, local parks, shepton prison. Food was beautiful, owners lovely to chat too, always clean and tidy.

A grade II listed property in a historical part of Shepton Mallet. Took time to read up on the area, would recommend everyone to do that, very interesting. Comfortable bed, clean room and great hosts. Some noise from the road adjacent to the Inn, not a deal breaker. Would I stay here again Yes.
