Stunning location just off J23 on the M5. The team was friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. We booked a table before the Comedy evening. As it was quite a warm day, we sat in the garden with a drink, before heading in for food. I opted for the Lamb Kofta and it was delicious, full of flavour and an explosion of colour on the plate. The comedy evening was an absolute hoot, and I recommend if you are looking for something different to do with friends or family. We didn't stop laughing the whole way through. A great experience and will be back for a spot of lunch soon.
I've had 3 stays here now. The staff are friendly. Rooms are beautiful. If the weather suits there's a lovely outdoor seated area. Its dog friendly but extremely clean. We attend training in Bridgwater and this will be my accommodation of choice.
As a solo traveler, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience at this lovely country pub and hotel! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel right at home. They were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile—it really made my stay feel special. The food was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed a tasty pie, packed with flavor and made with fresh, local ingredients. Compliments to the chefs! My room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was cozy, and the peaceful atmosphere made it easy to unwind. I also loved the little touches, like the welcome cookies along with the coffee and cafetière facilities. I felt completely at ease throughout my stay and left feeling refreshed and happy. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend it to anyone traveling alone or otherwise. (BTW,,, this place is dog friendly pub and hotel too). Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
Was in the best location for our course we were on the next day. All the staff couldn't do enough to help it was a joy to stay in the hotel. The room over delivered, and all the extra bits left in the room were an absolute joy to find. The meal we had in the evening in the pub was brilliant and very generous. You really made our stay perfect. Thank you so very much.
