It was in a perfect location for the purpose of our trip and the Dusthole is a very charming inn. We stayed in the Treehouse which was very charming and quite roomy. Food was excellent and all cooked to order. WiFi reception was very good in our room and the bed comfortable.

“Stay at the Dusthole or should i say Fawlty Towers!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Superior Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉As above
눇Upon arrival we were welcomed by the housekeeper who was lovely. The room was supposed to be a superior double but there wasn't anything superior about it. No hot water for a start and the en-suite was in a cupboard ! We went to the bar for a drink but there was only 1 lager and 1 type of cider on tap ,everything else had run out! The assistant manager apologised and blamed the landlord but didn't do anything about it except said she was leaving next week and had handed her notice in! She asked all the guests to come down for dinner early as they were short staffed and she would be closing the bar at 9.30pm!So she was not interested or bothered at all about the place or the guests. She was as much use as a "chocolate teapot!" However, the meal was lovely, beautiful lasagne ,chips and garlic bread and home cooked. The chef was very friendly and extremely helpful. In the morning we went for breakfast and the chef greeted us and he was not only the chef but the waitress as well! He was doing both jobs and did them very well, did not flap and the breakfast was excellent. The so called assistant manageress was no where to be seen and had conveniently taken the money for the accommodation off our debit card the previous night and the money for our meal and drinks but did not leave a bill for any of it! The housekeeper and chef were obviously running the place and were doing the best they could between them. We had spent a lovely week travelling round Devon and Cornwall and The Dusthole was our last port of call before returning home in York. We enjoyed the food and hospitality from the lovely chef and housekeeper and the tour of Shepton Mallet prison but won't be rushing back.

“Old character bed and breakfast but needs work.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Evening meal took 50 mins and pub was not busy. Plug socket behind bed for bedside light was loose not fixed properly - not safe. All plugs not working in room as informed, room didn't seem ready. Ensuite shower room had an awful smell after showering - smelt like drains had to make sure door was closed before sleeping. I was told breakfast starts 0730 Saturday but when I came downstairs 0740 everywhere was dark and no staff in bar, breakfast room or sitting area. Eventually found chef who turned on lights just had enough time for cereal and cup tea (told there was no juice awaiting delivery). 0805 nobody in reception/bar so just left room key on desk by telephone.
눇Staff when I arrived and evening friendly and helpful. Room was a good size and once refurbishment completed correctly will be good.

눉Breakfast was self service, there was plenty to choose from but it all seemed a bit disorganised. However, the cooked breakfast was excellent. Bearing in mind this is an incredibly old building you couldn't move for creaky floors which in the night sounded even worse!
눇The owner was incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcome. We ate in the restaurant that night and the food was excellent.
