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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
