Owners most welcoming, country pub & bar style restaurant, excellent food. Local beers, could do with more extensive wine list. Rooms are all unique, and well furnished, need more wardrobe/hanging space. Has tea & coffee facilities. Sizeable garden . Local area is beautiful, great for walkers. They are dog friendly, (good dogs only) & even cooked a sausage for our... More

Dear All, I urge you all never to stay at this pub/ hotel ever. This is the only hotel experience I have ever felt the need to WARN others about. I had not been lucky (or smart) enough to read reviews prior to my arrival. If id know what was in store for me, there is no way id have... More

I was very upset and surprised to read your negative review and that you had such an awful stay in your opinion. I suspect that the dead fly you refer to that was on your pillow was in fact a loose feather from the feather pillow! I am confident that the room was NOT the 1* hole you refer to,... More

Having seen that it was recommended in Sawdays and the Good Food Guide we thought we would be staying in a small country pub with delightful rooms and delicious gastro-pub style food and were happy to pay a price for it, Unfortunately that was a long way from the truth. The rooms were reasonably appointed but the thick dust all... More

The owner is so disagreeable. Hotel very overpriced. New owners can not keep up old owners reputation who were in a different league - not an unusual story. New owners trying to surf on previous owners wake!!! Try the nearby 'Mount Somerset '- cheaper but of a different class - so much superior - this is where we decamped to. More

This Pub used to be fantastic with excellant food and drink but not under the new ownership. My wife and I visited for a meal. The barmaid was unable to pull a proper pint and the beer was the flattest I have ever experienced anywhere in Europe. I ordered the "posh" fish and chips, when I asked why it was... More

I've been here a few times for meals rather than to stay (so have been generous when rating the rooms!) and would generally recommend it. It's a country pub - no more, no less - beautifully situated and welcoming and comfortable inside. The food has always been good - but definitely on the slow side. Whilst it's fair to say... More

We arrived to a very warm welcome from the new owners and to be shown to our room which was first class. Very spacious and well appointed room with excellent views of the Somerset countryside. If you are looking for a relaxing weekend away and great food in wonderful and welcoming surroundings then look no further. Thank you to all... More

Did not stay at the Farmers Inn but had an evening meal there in December with family. On arrival we felt we had made a good choice, however, although the food that was served was good, it was not quite as expected and there were several mistakes. We were asked after we had finished our starters if we would like... More
