After a long day trailing around Bath, the restaurant was a haven of tranquility. The food was excellent, fresh and seasonal. The staff were quietly efficient and very friendly. Steak was delicious and the lemon tart was declared "best ever"

We had a lovely 3 night stay here. The owner could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The pub is very rustic and charming. It's certainly not 'yuppie like' as some earlier reviews had suggested. Rooms were basic but charming. The L'Occitane bits and bobs were a really nice touch. My only gripe would be that the rooms, bathrooms... More

Gorgeous restaurant, gorgeous village. One of the best meals I've ever had in a cosy restaurant with friendly personal service. We were recommended by the owners of Tucking Mill Cottages where we stayed - about a 10 minute walk from the Inn. So glad for the recommendation. Fab weekend all round.

We had a lovely rustic room with some of the best food we've eaten (and we travel a lot). The details in the bathroom made it - not just shampoo etc The service was excellent and, as i broke my foot and the room was up a flight of stairs, the staff were very kind. Lighting in room made it... More

I came here with my partner and mother in law for my birthday on Sunday 31st March. When we arrived we were taken right down the back of the pub and stuck on a randomly placed table with the kitchen door on one side and the serving area on the other. My partner and I had a lovely view of... More

A really good menu and the food was great value; a really nice ambience. We experienced the lunch menu which was impressive but not pretentious. Not so impressive were the choice of soft drinks for the nominated driver - when oh when will gastro pubs get in the 'softies' to match the ales and food they serve? That aside, well... More

I have eaten here twice before on previous visits to Bath. This time, on recommendation, we decided to stay for a couple of nights. Located in the hamlet of Monktoon Combe, the Wheelwrights hotel (7 rooms) is situated about 5-10 minutes outside of the city of Bath by car. You will need to use your car, catch the bus or... More

I can honesty say this is now my local! We had another fabulous meal last night celebrating our 17th wedding anniversary with our children at our favourite table in this idyllic location. Great service and very welcoming. The menu was extremely varied and at which there was an extensive wine list although we didn't go crazy (unfortunately) because I was... More

My wife and I stayed three days over New Year's Eve and had a wonderful, memorable time. We wanted a quiet, cozy inn with a solid restaurant/pub and a fun New Year's Eve celebration. We were not disappointed. Rooms are warm and inviting. The area is lovely, both quiet and bucolic but close to Bath and a variety of things... More

Stayed in room 7 for 3 nights. Lovely walking nearby and a country bus service to bath stops immediately outside and dropped us at the grand parade within 15 mins. The room was nice although no proper shower. I found the staff to be helpful and the food nice- the standard and price you would expect for a rural pub.... More
