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.

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.

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.

Spacious room but needs some work
Overall, room was very spacious, clean and came with an ensuite bathroom. The double bed was comfortable. However, the condition of the room was below standard. For example, the bathroom door had no door handle, the tv didn't work, the main bedroom light wasn't working, and no milk provided for tea/coffee. If these improvements were in placed would give it a 4-star rating.

Welcoming small inn
Staff were welcoming and helpful. Kitchen was closing by the time I arrived at 20:50, but I got a fantastic pizza. Good beer. Room was clean and comfortable, if a bit tired. Separate shower room and toilet were clean with quality toiletries. However ceiling light wasn't working. I'd stay again.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Staff very nice and helpful but toom was had stale/stuffy smell. Right on road and so quite noisy. Room decoration and furniture need updating. Difficult to see how this is a four-star, upscale B&B.

No double glazing in the bedroom overlooking the main road resulted in too much traffic noise overnight. Also parking near the hotel was not good.

A very pleasant stay.
Very friendly host/owner. Managed to get there on the first day before their restaurant service finished and had an excellent spicy pizza. Shame I didn't have time to try other menu items. The room itself was a good size, lots of storage space and a kettle with some coffee/tea on hand. The bed was fine, although a little firm for my taste but otherwise comfortable. There was also a very small, almost cute freeview TV. Lets face it, you're not there to watch TV, but it's good enough and works. My only issue was the sash windows aren't double glazed and being roadside meant there was quite loud traffic noise, particularly with trucks. But it's an old building. So it's a minor thing personally. The shared bathroom/toilet is a good size and the shower was very good. Lots of complimentary shower gels on hand. Overall I nice place to lay your head. As I'm working in Bristol for a couple of months I'm pretty sure I'll use again. Price wise it was reasonable. On par with other places I'd looked at within a commutable distance of Bristol as Bristol itself is very expensive especially if you don't get free or included car parking.

Room ok for the money. Food good but they did not have the likes off mushrooms or beans as listed. Breakfast was full English for £10.00 or a bacon sandwich was the same price.

Commission Festival Stay
Nice convivial 4 night stay with very friendly hosts. Room was a good size abd clean. The bed was well made made and comfortable. The bathroom though not en-suite was a pace across the hall and huge well equiped and an excellent walk in wet room shower. The bar and restaurant area was has excellent cosie charm vett clean and tidy with a traditional skittle alley and nice beer garden. Although I didn't eat but saw the food which looked delicious and and was well received by fellow customers. Good local beers as well.
