We booked for lunch with family. Such a lovely welcome and very relaxed atmosphere. We all had different meals and each one was really delicious. There is so much choice on the menu and specials board to cater for everyone's taste. I can't wait to pop back in and try the roast dinner.

From the outside the property looked a bit tired but on entering we loved the friendly warm welcome. The ambiance in the bar and dining areas was so lovely and the choice of food really great - it was truly appetising! Wonderful stay - we’ll certain stay again if we’re in the area.

A great little find........ Don't tell everyone! First time here for me. I will certainly be staying again. Friendly owners, a family run business. A nice pint and great food. I was in room 3 which was clean and comfortable. All was fairly priced.

Stayed her for three nights for our anniversary. A family run pub where everybody chips in. The owners took over an empty and drab pub 12 months ago and have done a great job transforming it. Very welcoming and friendly (including dogs). Pub and food: 5 Star. Refurbished but old character retained. The food was excellent. Very tasty and well presented. They get their meat from a local butcher and you can tell. Knowing it was our anniversary they decorated the table and gave us a specially made fruit and homemade shortbread platter which was lovely. Accommodation: This dropped the rating from 5 to 4. Very nice self contained room. Bearing in mind the owners can't sort everything in such a short time, the room was basic and comfortable. Two heaters gave loads of warm for a January. The bathroom needs updating with a shower over a bath but loads of hot water. The bathroom however was very cold with no heating. As a result we were unable to dry the towels. No one came in to change the towels or the bin. We had to ask for more tea bags, milk, coffee and towels which were given freely and promptly. All in all an excellent stay and we have already recommended it to friends. Quick tip to get there, if coming from Bridgwater, don't take the first access signposted Blackmore Farm and the pub, carry on the A39 towards Minehead and take the turn about half a mile further on. A much shorter 0.4 mile journey along a country lane as opposed to 1 mile.

What friendly staff!!! Everyone was so helpful and chatty. Lovely menu with daily specials, chef's specials and normal pub grub. Nice atmosphere too as it is down a country lane, but locals were eating and drinking there. Will stay there again the next time we are in the areaQ

Easy access from the car park to our room. Room clean and met our needs. However, we would have preferred to have booked a room with a normal shower, rather than.

Used as a base for a Quantocks run. Staff were really friendly and helpful as I had an early start. Recommended
