No breakfast available. Other meals limited. Shower cubicle not cleaned. Overall, won't be going back. ##### William Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrei 9 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Traditional inn conveniently located We need a place to stay the night on our way to East Somerset Railway and Longleat, and the Highwayman Inn provided exactly what we needed. It is reasonably easy to find and to far off the road. The pub was buzzing on Friday evening, with children birthday parties as well locals coming for food and drink. Staff are friendly and the food is good. Our room was very spacious but a little tired. Bed was a little too soft (but then I have a bad back, so hyper-sensitive to these things). Bathroom was good size but there was mildew and signs of damp near the window. The wardrobe was a small and did not have any usable hangers. The pub is closed in the morning (so no breakfast) but a kettle with a good selection of teas is provided. All in all, if a no-frills traditional inn is what you are after, this is it. ##### Andrei Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### S G 18 Mar 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Disappointed Not what we were expecting. The service area was covered in peeling wall paper, selotape and almost non existent paintwork. One firedoor remained propped open with a fire hydrant throughout our 3 day stay.Our room and bathroom had long term dust and mould and the toilet seat was broken. Evening meal menu was from commercial pre-prepared frozen packets and on arrival we were advised that the hotel does not offer any form of breakfast. No mention of that in the on-line booking blurb. The worst selection we have made for many a long year. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1200FA6F93CC9C20AFAD27424602D246A314A3CE1710772952036.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/89933870CFD9DAA05439DDF06EF0C86017E0A51B1710772961705.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/83E11AB48DC6FE2D9F5324D8788275BB54AE6DA81710772972673.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/EA253A8FD29FCD137748863CA22F3FBD6BF88C5B1710773005978.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### S G Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Zoe 26 Mar 2024 Firstly the manager and her family were lovely. I did find the shower could have been a lot cleaner and the mattress was very uncomfortable. The facilities being above a pub/restaurant were excellent. I was taken back slightly after finding out it had been noted as a haunted hotel which I was unaware about, however once I got past that I did have a laugh with the manager and decided to stay anyway. I do think maybe it would be good to inform people in advance of this somehow as I was away with work and was desperate to sleep. Slightly overpriced in my opinion as I do travel a lot and in comparison to other places it didn’t warrant the £54 a night. Definitely needing a revamp as the wallpaper in the hallways was also falling off visibly not a good look and as I said the mattress definitely needs changing. I’m Not sure I would stay again but the manager and her family were very nice and welcoming all the same. This is an honest review and if your into the supernatural I would definitely recommend. ##### Zoe Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Rob 30 Aug 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Please trying harder Well really booked on the quick with several not bad reviews and it was just bed only needed just as a base, Dirty dining area with doors needing to be wiped to show they were once white, musty smell throughout, dusty with dead insects. For an old building and new manager, must give her a break but if you employ family and friends and then come into work after them ( believe me they through a duster over things) no training courses required to push hoover/duster Breakfast was nice size but did not get offered hot drinks, dusty ledges, Route to room had torn tatty wall paper Rooms were a good size bed comfortable tv to small Grouting in the two rooms needed to be cleaned as going black or mouldy Bath panel damaged, blind over window not hiding occupants enough. Situated in an area close to sites we wanted to see so real choice of venue. Kids play area had broken toys Staff spent most of time outside or at most opportunities to vape and socialise. We booked in over the weekend just gone 26/27/28 august leaving bank holiday Monday We could not speak to anyone in person when we come back on Sunday night 2030 hours as the bar area was closed and no staff, Monday morning we had to leave early and had to post the keys as no staff. Just a shame that the staff appeared not to have a clue on running an inn but could serve in bar area To the manager get your staff to look at every room and list the little things you wouldn’t want to see on a snagging list. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/86557AA915961F24DE5052BA1AB789B08B9696991661855201858.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E41D79D7C0ED29AC9504D3244E7E3138DA8ACCDD1661855203499.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D577338F363B81486A240B90367F22760791602C1661855194203.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0A35ED0E53E60721C4881383C878A9D75771B3EA1661855205913.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rob Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jerome 26 May 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The worst experience we’ve ever had ever this must be the worst experience we have ever had in a hotel, really was very poor. We got there about 4 pm and we knew we had to get up early in the morning about 4 am to go to the Show ground for the Shepton Mallet Antiques Fair. We ordered some food, including a medium rare steak and when it came, it was as well done as you’ve ever seen one, it looked like it just came out of the deep fryer dripping with oil and obviously frozen and tasted like rubber. I hate complaining so I had a little bit of it and couldn’t possibly eat it. The chef spends most of his time playing the Fruit Machine and sitting in the Bar area. I thought it couldn’t get any worse and then I went up to the room, the number of the room is number one. We went to bed, early and about 1:30 am we hear this loud thundering sound that woke us both immediately, it sounded like machinery but you couldn’t possibly sleep through it. It was so loud and it went on after that but not as loud as the initial Bang. I am warning you not to stay in that hotel and if you do do not book room one. We could smell the scent of Urine when we first walked into the room and I wish I never booked it. We had stayed there before many years ago and it wasn’t like this. I can honestly say this is the worst experience. We both have ever had, the hotel is noisy too and I advise anybody that reads this. Please hear my words and Avoid this place no matter how bad it is. ##### Jerome Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 3 Jul 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ikke anbefalt Stedet var generelt sjuskete og slitt. Det lå mye sigarettsneiper og søppel ved inngangen og det var lite innbydende. Rommet lå i øverste etasje og gangene var små, trange og lave. Vi så en mann som gikk i bakken etter at han stanget i en av de mange takbjelkene. På rommet hadde vi mye som var ødelagt blant annet føner, håndkleststiv, møkkete tekoker, og flekkete rammemadrasser. Det var mye støy fra luftkondisjonsanlegget utenfor vinduet, men den ble heldigvis slått av før kl 22.00. Det var mugg i vinduer og på dusjforheng. Eneste positive var at sengetøy og håndklær var rent, og vi fikk en god natts søvn. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sidney 9 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good comfortable bed Ideal for my needs ##### Sidney Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jan 20 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Helt ok boende i närheten av Shepton Mallet.
