We can imagine to noise, the sweat, the consumption when honest to good working men wetted their dry throats and refreshed their aching limbs. Thet sort of yeoman is rare in the land these days. The King is upwardly mobile in the chase for the trade. View it as a boozer and it is excellent. cosy tap room, warm fire... More

Nice welcome from the Proprietor, who took every trouble to help, as did his staff. Rooms a little dated but part of the charm and understand due to be refurbished. Nice bar and eating area with log fire. Good menu and excellent breakfast.

We had a wedding in Chard and wanted a hotel close by. It was a little further than expected due to the country roads but the hotel was a gem. It is tucked away down a side street down the back of the old babycham factory. It is I think an old coaching inn. We stayed two nights and had... More

Found 'The Dusthole' after moving to Shepton in july. Very welcoming and offered a huge choice of meats for lunch incl ham, beef , pork, chicken and turkey. Lots of vegetables to choose from and real roasts and yorkshires. The barman 'Rory' was quite busy but very capable and even though it was busy we still managed to get the... More

A friend and myself stayed here, whilst on a walking weekend.We were certainly welcomed by the owner and enjoyed a pint at the bar, including a chat with the locals. The food served for dinner was not "Gourmet" but substantive and good value. Whilst the room was clean, the downside was that the mattresses were too soft. The breakfast was... More

We went for Sunday lunch ( there were 4 of us ) after we saw a sign saying "the best carvery in somerset". Upon arrival we found the place to be rather scruffy and not at all welcoming. There was a huge dog that was allowed to go where he liked. We had a child with us and he was... More
