The Highwayman Inn near Wells in Somerset, is run by Andy & Cath, who will give you just about the warmest welcome you could possibly get. The Inn is also very welcoming as are the locals, something you do not always see up and down the county. I stayed in Room 7 just a few days before Christmas 2011, so... More

If I could rate this below poor then I would every time. A truly awful hotel. Cheap and nasty food but not at cheap prices served by ignorant staff who wouldn't know a happy face if it jumped up and bit them. The rooms are tiny and tired looking. The managers laugh in your face if you even comment on... More

We stayed here as we had travelled from London to go to a friends wedding nearby. Walking in to the main bar area/ reception, there was an overwhelming odour of fried food. The twin room we had was on the ground floor of the hotel. It was quite dark and dingy. The bin had not been emptied since the previous... More

I have stayed here on a few occasions (not through choice) and each time the size of the room has been a bit of an issue, and the lack of choice at breakfast has been disappointing but overall the place wasn't too bad. After a gap of 2 years we were back again and this time the tray in the... More

I stayed here whilst attending an event at the Bath and West Showground for business. I haven't stayed in many B&Bs (I'm more of a hostel girl if I'm forking out for accommodation) so this was quite luxurious for me! The room was a little on the small side, but perfectly adequate when all you really need is a bed... More

From a distance the outside of the building looks reasonable and we called in with a view to staying overnight but changed our mind because on closer examination the whole place was scruffy and needed a good clean. The gents toilet was grimy, the urinals had a layer of dust on them, there were dead flies on the floor and... More

Room was small but clean and had everything we needed. Paint on bathroom ceiling was peeling. Very quick service at breakfast but it would have been nice to have a continental choice instead of just cereal or Full English. We were not impressed with the tupperware box of instant coffee on offer! Room was next to kitchen fans which woke... More

lovely friendly people and seems lots of evening entertainment going on, good food available through out the day. Room was tired though, loose loo seat, broken mirror. I know is three star but a little attention to detail could make the stay that much better More

Recently returned to The Highwayman after several pleasant stays in 2010 and on this occasion was very disappointed, The Landlord i thought was quite rude and seemed to be more suited to a local boozer and the Landlady i found quite abrupt and rude, the room was very tired and needed redecoration, the breakfast was okay but very basic and...

We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights and have got to say that the room was very clean and comfortable, the staff were very welcoming on arrival and spent a very pleasant evening with various people watching the Champions League Final. We did not have a meal in the restaurant but it did look excellent value for money. Nice... More
