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.

“the pub was very old fasioned but had been brought up todate within the bedrooms.”

눉the room had cobwebs on the walls the shower had obviously leaked so took some of the shine off the room in general. In the breakfast room there seemed to be a lot of furniture that looked not quite used.

눉Although fresh milk is offered, it might be worth having uht in cartons in the room, just in case like us you forget to ask.....
눇This is our second visit to the quirky Dusthole. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The king size cabin is lush, I guess some might think it needs "finishing off and the corners dusting", but we just love it. The staff are friendly and helpful the owner good company and Tyson is just gorgeous (and no he isn't an Alsatian cross!!!) We will definitely be back as we have other rooms to check out, and more yummy food to taste. Breakfast was fresh, hot and tasty and I just love that there is Lemon Curd.

“Could be really nice.... needs some love and enthusiasm”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Not particularly clean room in main building. Carpet absolutely filthy. Walked from shower to the bed and brought black dirt into the bed. Picture frame on the wall falling apart and light fitting hanging from the ceiling. Outdoor areas felt like they hadn't been cleaned in a long while, as well as a lot of dog poo everywhere. The owner who greeted us at first was reasonably friendly, but made a few strange comments and as the weekend drew on we didn't feel particularly welcome. When leaving I wished the owner a nice day, and that I hoped he would get time to enjoy the sunshine, which he completely ignored turning his back to me. Very strange behaviour. It's a great pity as the property was obviously nice at one stage, and should be very busy at the height of the summer with a large courtyard and pretty surroundings. In our room there was a sign reminding the customer that the property is 400 years old, and that some things might be a little wonky/quirky due to that. I would be understanding of sloping floors, ceilings etc. but that doesn't excuse cleanliness and general upkeep.

“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.
