I appreciated the delicious breakfast although I would have liked some fruit available.

Jane, United Kingdom

Lady who served in bar was lovely. Breakfast good.

Anon, United Kingdom

The breakfast was lovely, and the room was nice and cosy.

Trisha, United Kingdom

Fantastic historical Inn. The owner is the friendliest you could hope to meet. Loved all the antiques and the large open fire in the bar. Would recommend this 10/10

Michael, United Kingdom

Lovely hotel steeped in history. Staff are driendly and helpful and it is run by the lovely Tony who is always on hand to help. The food is lovely and the bar has a lovely homely atmosphere. The room was comfortable, with a huge bed and an en suite containing a modern shower and huge bath big enough for 2. Short walk from the town centre and HMP Shepton Mallet. Will be returning again soon.

Adele, United Kingdom

Cozy room. Lovely meal in fornt of a roaring fire. Enjoyed chatting with the landlord.

Craig, United Kingdom

This is a quaint hotel with loads of history. The owner Tony was welcoming and very helpful and Abby who worked behind the bar at night was great

Clare, United Kingdom

The Dusthole is a lovely quaint pub with a qwerky feel and traditional homeliness. If you're looking for a place to stay that's in a small village in the country with a nice atmosphere, log fires and folk music on in the background then this is the place. Evening staff were lovely.

Jacob, United Kingdom

Excellent breakfast, friendly bar staff, good advice re local services. The place is very old and characterful. Do not expect a chain hotel.

David, United Kingdom

Booked a single room and got upgraded to a log cabin. Food was nice and the bar area welcoming

Linda, United Kingdom

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Perfect location for a base to drive to Bath, Exeter, Bristol, etc. My wife and I have travelled extensively and I can honestly say that the staff at The Dusthole is probably the most accommodating we have ever been served by. They seemingly would stop at nothing to satisfy or help us. The common areas are warm and comfortable. The building itself is a jewell.”

Martin

United States of America

“Location was excellent. Food was good. Drinks flowed. Loved the dog! No complaints at all.”

Mike

눉The room had a broken window and 2 cracked one's. So had a golf size ball hole covered up by a picture frame. There is a dog, a guard dog I would say. Security isn't great there, as he leaves the side door unlocked all night :/
눇The breakfast was lovely, and the room was nice and cosy.

눉Heating powered by electricity. Electricity went off in the morning. No natural light in the room or heat. Proprietor said the whole building was off but when we went downstairs later he had the kettle on. No apologies and no attempt at compensation. Stairs up to our room were covered in slippery green slime and an absolute death trap. No heat source in the bathroom. My friends paid £10 more to stay in the Oakhill tavern up the road which was amazing; beautiful rooms, fantastic staff and awesome breakfast cooked to order. Not so at the Dusthole. AVOID!!!!
눇Nothing.
