The lady who checked me in was excellent, very courteous and helpful. Amenities were very good, and room was clean. Bed was comfortable, my pillow was too soft, but that is a personal observation and choice. Overall an excellent choice!!

Very friendly welcome and a nice meal on my arrival. Pleased to be upgraded to a private en suite. The staff had turned up the heat in my room which was a lovely thought BUT I couldn’t find a way to turn it down (and I have operated radiators in my time). Room was quirky, which I don’t mind, but one thing I spoils suggest is that the mattress is changed. Way too thin, and definitely not very comfortable! Other than that, it was just what I needed for a quick sleepover before seeing my son the day after.

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.

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.

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.
