We loved our one night stay. Having checked previous reviews we had great expectations . We were not disappointed .Room was very spacious & comfortable with tea,coffee etc all to hand. The pub food was excellent with many menu choices. We plan to return when we are next in Somerset.

The staff and owners made me feel very welcome and made my stay very pleasant. They even made sure I had a good breakfast before I left early in the morning. The stables were very clean and spacious as well as comfortable. I slept like a baby.

The room was lovely. Each one has it’s own parking space in front. Loads of space, bath and separate walk-in shower. Tea and Nespresso provided too. Huge bed - bigger than a superking - and really, really comfy. We were late arriving but Kate had been in to turn the heating on and came over to make sure everything was ok. Tasty breakfast in the pub the following morning. Very amiable and relaxing atmosphere. We’d definitely stay again and highly recommend

We stayed for one night en route home from a holiday and visiting relatives. The inn was in a lovely position with great views over the countryside.
Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable with good amenities. Parking was right outside.
We had dinner in the restaurant which had a good and interesting menu and we enjoyed our meal. Breakfast was very good.
We would certainly recommend this inn and are keen to go back for a longer stay.

We had a room in "The Stable" block which is just opposite the pub. We were able to park right outside our room. The room was clean and beautifully warm. The bed was massive, which was great.
Kate & her bar staff were very friendly and we felt that nothing was too much trouble. Buddy was the chef whilst we were there & his Garlic mushrooms in cream were the best I have ever tasted!
Thank you to both of you for making our stay with you so pleasant.

This was our third stay on the way to Cornwall and we love this place. The rooms are large with a huge bed, very comfortable and everything is well sanitised. The restaurant has a great menu, the breakfast is very fresh and tasty. Buddy the owner is always friendly, professional and yet relaxed. We will be back

This was a one night stay on a business trip I had 3 rooms which are located opposite the pub across the car park. The rooms were clean with a spacious bathroom and wet room, the shower was perfect, the bed was a large kingsize a comfy. The pub opened about 5.30pm we went there at 6.30 for dinner and the meal was delicious. The owners and staff were very polite and professional I will definitely be back on our next trip.

We have stayed here before and particularly liked the menu. We requested to eat at 8pm which they agreed but when we arrived they had forgotten and closed the restaurant because they were working on limited opening hours due to COVID19. The reason I'm mentioning this is that Barbara and her husband then went out of their way to cook whatever we wanted and in a good humoured way which didn't make us feel awkward. Breakfast was also good, the staff are excellent and we would stay here again.

Wonderful small hotel off the beaten track. The staff here are excellent - very warm and friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us. The hotel has a very homely feel, the rooms are very large and the beds big and comfortable. There is a lovely restaurant and bar on site which serves simple but delicious meals and great cooked breakfasts that are included in the rate.

A number of school friends have stayed here once a year over past years and have always found it to be an ideal hotel for our needs. The new refurbishment has added to the overall ambiance and made it a more attractive place to dine. Opening up the view, by cutting down the hedge opposite, is a real "winner".
The friendly and attentive staff are the reason for our return each year, as nothing is too much trouble. Thank you. We hope to see you again in 2019.
Ps. Brighter lighting in the rooms outside would be beneficial for our ageing eyes???
