Fantastic evening meal. Excellently cooked food, with a few different elements that made particularly interesting! Particularly pleased with the host who was careful to ensure that we were comfortable, well looked after and enjoying our experience. We sat in the outside area which was lovely in the summer evening, with heaters for warmth as needed.

Lovely hotel and great service
Food was great................the flat iron steak was fantastic!
Rooms where nicely decorated, furnished well and comfortable my only comments would be you can hear the toilets and showers in the other rooms, the rooms are very warm and if you leave the window open the passing traffic at speed is noisy. Granted a large air con unit was available in the room but this had to be vented through the window. The rooms lacked in quality and attention to detail for a five star rating and the price was high.

Very slow service.
Two tiny scallops for £10, was rather poor. 4/5 scallops would be good. Mainly rocket?
Two bone rack of lamb, in fact it was two tiny chops. A trio would have been good.
Flavours on mains were very good.
Flavours on Puddings average.
Ice cream was more of half and half sorbet.
Overall ok..... But competition will soon explode.

Welcoming, cosy, lovely garden, good home cooked food, attractive comfortable accommodation. Its all what they say on the website and its all true.
Just did an overnight stay having been in Wincanton in the day. Got there late (10pm) and the kitchen looked like it was closing down, so was expecting the usual chefs finished but no, they set up to proper places settings and full menu as usual. Great rooms and dont miss the Full English in the morning.
Avoid the local cider unless you can handle the stuff
