We had a suit of rooms that were very comfortable and well appointed.

John, United Kingdom

The fact that I have a story to tell after leaving.

Richard, United Kingdom

Sheets were clean and towels fluffy. We had fresh milk available when required. Not the UHT stuff.

Debbie, United Kingdom

We enjoyed our stay. A comfortable room with everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

Rebecca, United Kingdom

A quirky and unusual place to stay. Loved the cabins and the surrounding history i.e Shepton Prison, Babycham and the Flour Mills. Nice friendly atmosphere and well organised facilities.

Hunky, United Kingdom

the childrens room had a tv with a choice of dvd's

Byron, United Kingdom

Staff helpful and friendly. Building full of character and bedroom well appointed and comfortable. Well located for Bath, Bristol and surrounding areas. Food in restaurant was excellent in particular the Sunday roast which was served in the evening as well....not always easy to find! Nothing was too much trouble and my 4 year old son was given plenty of options to keep him happy too.

Ben, United Kingdom

Really lovely old building but it comes with some issues. The shower just trickled and the TVs had no signal and the landlord couldn't sort it ! On the plus the breakfast was lovely and we ate Saturday evening and it was lovely food. Really nice ... well done Abbie for your service This is a great location for the railway at Cranmore for the steam train

Julie, United Kingdom

- • Stayed 1 night
눉Everything was a little too much effort, all was done, but with an undertone complaint. The breakfast may have been cooked the previous night and then microwaved in the morning. It needs some serious attention to all details. Overpriced for what it was.
눇The fact that I have a story to tell after leaving.

“Extremely disappointing”
- • Group of friends
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The bedroom was cold with a hole in the window covered by a leaning picture to disguise! No shower gel provided. A great feeling of dampness too. Could clearly hear movement from bedroom above. The twin bedded room was very close to the kitchen with early morning noises. Whilst the cooked breakfast was good, the cleanliness of the dining room and facilities left a lot to be desired! The fruit was old and bad, butter off and fruit juices looked rather aged. The evening meal was not good and the lasagna was very leathery - probably in and out of a microwave! Will not be returning and will not be recommending!
눇Not a lot!

“Family visiting”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The window didn't shut. The carpet was disgusting - needs replacing. All pipework visible in room and bathroom - could be boxed in. Dust sitting on chandelier, and on top of wicker headboard -left me sneezing. Too much going on in all rooms and pub areas - antiquities everywhere, but nothing connecting. The chairs in the breakfast room were in need of a good clean, dust round back of seats - was very off putting. Breakfast was ok - serve yourself style, but could be more interesting. For the money we wouldn't stay again. Yes its a quirky pub with loads of history, but it needs connection (and cleaning).
눇Sheets were clean and towels fluffy. We had fresh milk available when required. Not the UHT stuff.

눉Unfortunately there was an incident of dog mess on the lawn outside the cabins and the shower was difficult to regulate temperature wise, it was either freezing cold or scalding hot.
눇A quirky and unusual place to stay. Loved the cabins and the surrounding history i.e Shepton Prison, Babycham and the Flour Mills. Nice friendly atmosphere and well organised facilities.

눉Everything. The place is in need to care and repair with a cracked sink and damaged electrical sockets and light fittings. The owner was not very accommodating and dismissive. Some of food was bought at Aldi and the quality of the meals were miss sold on the web site and were charged at an extortionate price. The rooms were not to a high standard of cleanliness and did not represent the pictures on the web site at all. I feel totally miss sold too and very disappointed this feeling is added to by the amount of money the accommodation cost. Not a good advertisement for Booking. Com
