My room was clean but cold. Bed comfortable. Staff in main building were very friendly and helpful. I did not see the cleaner of my room but well done. Parking, once I had worked it out, was safe and included. I paid initially for parking and was immediately helped by Inn staff and received the money back.

What a shame

We booked a three night stay for two adults and our son for half term. We chose The Bear (listed as 4*) as we love staying in pubs and the location was good for us. Upon arrival we were please with the free parking, impressed with the pub/reception and found the staff friendly. We were excited when we were told we would be staying in your ‘Blossom Cottage’… Sounds great! Then we were told it was a walk away, across the main road-not exactly what we had expected, but a cottage sounds really nice?… What a disappointment, our room really needs a refurb, TV didn’t work in our sons room, bathroom although clean still felt grubby and the plumbing was temperamental. Two teabags, two coffees, two mugs/glasses for three guests, for a three night stay? (But 10 milk sachets???) But more worryingly, the front door to the four roomed cottage was often left unlocked by other guests, I’m sure not on purpose as it had a Yale lock, but still this needs attention as it is a security risk. Bearing in mind our stay was in October and it rained on and off everyday, it really made the ‘off site’ accommodation a problem for us. So much so that we didn’t eat in the pub restaurant at all as we had planned to. I did mention our issues to reception and was told I should have requested a room in the main building. Overall the accommodation was not 4* as we had expected and we were left very disappointed. We wouldn’t have stayed here if we had known what it was like. We won’t be staying here again or r

Booked as part of a longer trip. Situated on the high street, 10 mins from Glastonbury, 20 mins from Haynes Car museum. We only booked the one night, as this was the last leg of our trip, but would have gladly have stayed longer. Warm, friendly welcome. Twin room situated on the top floor. Beds were super comfy, great night sleep. We booked in for evening meal and breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The food was lovely. Really enjoyed our stay, definitely book here again.

Fabulous overnight stay to visit Clarks Village- literally a 2 minute walk away. Good restaurant for the evening although a bit short of places to sit and just have a drink. Bit tired looking but clean, large rooms and shower good. Certainly value for money.

The family room we booked was in a different building 100 yards away and the other side of the road which meant we got soaked just getting to breakfast. These rooms also had poor internal sound proofing. Try and get a room in the main building.
