A village pub with rooms above it. Parking is limited outside during the day but you are likely to find a space in the town square later in the evening. Didn’t really spend any time in the pub. I had room one, which was clean and tidy however I found it quite dated and the shower room was quite small. I did have a good nights sleep though which is all that matters.

Pub with rooms in small town square

Stayed here en route to a family funeral. Useful location just off the M5. 
Lovely little medieval square.
The room was comfortable and the shower was good.
Evening meal very tasty and reasonably priced. Wine list good and again, reasonably priced.
Breakfast was basic. 
Staff very friendly and efficient.
There were a couple of things that weren’t that good. One were the stairs to the bedrooms. No lift, being a medieval building. The carpets weren’t clean.

Great position near the M5. Piece of medieval history.

We have over the years popped in when I have visited my friend for a drink and a meal over the last few years and usually has always been an enjoyable, friendly place. Last time in September we felt it was not up to normal standards and then in November felt the same if not worse but this time proved that it was not the place it was. On arrival we walked in up to bar and the guy behind was busy talking to I presume a regular or friend and took a full minute to come and serve us. We then found a seat and after our drinks were finished and place empty apart from one at bar empty no one came to check if we wanted another. I had to go to bar, order and ask for menus which we read while we waited some time for our drinks and when they arrived we had already looked at menu and decided it was not appealing so we drank our drinks and went elsewhere for food. It is such a shame as it was so lovely before with homely but upscale gastro food and a more friendly place, what is wrong with having really nice classics done well! We also use to love the blue cheese pizza which we had a snack! I would understand the lack of table or staff checking on us if busy but it was not and the guy who I think the guy at bar called Adam/Alan/Aaron did not seem bothered. Such a shame! 

Such a Shame!

I have stayed here several times before pre-pandemic and enjoyed fantastic food, spot on service and comfortable rooms.  However, this recent trip, admittedly out of season was a big disappointment.  There was no rose wine available, beyond two glasses from an opened bottle.  The dinner menu was burgers or burgers - nothing like the choice advertised on their website or as we had experienced during past stays.  The room was comfortable but grubby - bathroom showing signs of wear with mould on the tiles and the pop up bath waste did not function.  Breakfast was OK but the coffee- which was served in a metal cafetière - was in fact poor quality instant coffee made up and popped in the jug - I checked, no coffee grounds!  I hope they get busy through the Spring and Summer and can afford to up their game in time for our next stay!

Nothing like our previous stays

Went to try and have lunch, walked through the door, there appeared to be 2 men at the bar with a laptop having a business meeting and a lady drinking wine. Stood like a lemon for what felt like an eternity but must have been 5 mins without being served or acknowledged. It’s difficult enough as it is going into public bars as a single female without being ignored! Went across the square to the Butcombe pub to be greeted, seated, served and fed.

Wouldn’t give it a second chance

Stayed overnight here for a friends wedding and have nothing but good things to say about the place.

A lovely old building in a beautiful setting overlooking the square with a cosy and well stocked bar and a comfortable dining room.

Our room was at the front of the building, was spotless and had everything we needed, we slept like logs in the very comfortable bed and we were completely charmed by the church clock as it chimed the time while we drank our morning cuppa watching the news.

Breakfast was very tasty, just enough and with plenty of tea and toast.

We don't live far from here and were staying so as not to have to drive home after the reception but on the strength of this stay we have decided that we will book again and have a little staycation in the future where we look forward to sampling a meal in the restaurant and having a relaxing night away from home.

Perfect overnight stay.

We came here 2 nights on the trot whilst on holiday to say the food is amazing is an understatement the beef is melt in the mouth and cooked to perfection the potatoes were so luscious we asked to meet the chef . I have honest never eaten anything so beautiful. Thank you.

Just amazing

We stay here nearly every August Bank holiday since before 2010, and we were lucky enough to see the 2010 Pageant.  When we settle our bill on leaving we always book for the following year.  Last year we were assured the room was all booked for us and they made a note to get us tickets for this year's Pageant.   When I emailed to get confirmation of the cost of the four nights I was informed that there was no booking for us and they were fully booked.  The "team" said that there had been a change of management and that it was not their fault.  I was offered Friday, Sunday and Monday.  What was I supposed to do on Saturday?  Sleep in the car?  I attempted to book for August 2023 but they were full for Friday and Saturday.  They said if we wanted to book another date they would put a SMALL bottle of prosecco in our room as a gesture!  Thanks for nothing. Time to find a new favourite.

New management

Visited Axbridge and needed a drink so asked a local person where to go, this place was recommended but turned our a bad customer experience. There were lots of tables outside and one was taken with a couple drinking coffee, my wife went in and asked to be served only to come out upset. She was told they were full at 9:30am and wouldn’t serve us outside, even with at least 10 empty tables, obviously don’t need the money, or just very rude and not customer centric.

Very rude staff, bad customer experience

The room was OK but had to hunt for a toilet roll first thing in the morning as very little had been provided. The window dressing was untidy, scruffy nets and the window was overlooking a small courtyard that was full of rubbish. The bar area, whilst clean didn't have a pub atmosphere with strange conservatory style wicker chairs everywhere. At 8.45 pm we were asked if we wanted to order another drink but the landlady had already brought in the mop bucket into the lounge with the view to clean up and finish for the night. The breakfast looked good but rather bland and tasteless. Couldn't recommend to others.
