My room was clean but cold. Bed comfortable. Staff in main building were very friendly and helpful. I did not see the cleaner of my room but well done. Parking, once I had worked it out, was safe and included. I paid initially for parking and was immediately helped by Inn staff and received the money back.

What a shame

We booked a three night stay for two adults and our son for half term. We chose The Bear (listed as 4*) as we love staying in pubs and the location was good for us. Upon arrival we were please with the free parking, impressed with the pub/reception and found the staff friendly. We were excited when we were told we would be staying in your ‘Blossom Cottage’… Sounds great! Then we were told it was a walk away, across the main road-not exactly what we had expected, but a cottage sounds really nice?… What a disappointment, our room really needs a refurb, TV didn’t work in our sons room, bathroom although clean still felt grubby and the plumbing was temperamental. Two teabags, two coffees, two mugs/glasses for three guests, for a three night stay? (But 10 milk sachets???) But more worryingly, the front door to the four roomed cottage was often left unlocked by other guests, I’m sure not on purpose as it had a Yale lock, but still this needs attention as it is a security risk. Bearing in mind our stay was in October and it rained on and off everyday, it really made the ‘off site’ accommodation a problem for us. So much so that we didn’t eat in the pub restaurant at all as we had planned to. I did mention our issues to reception and was told I should have requested a room in the main building. Overall the accommodation was not 4* as we had expected and we were left very disappointed. We wouldn’t have stayed here if we had known what it was like. We won’t be staying here again or r

Booked as part of a longer trip. Situated on the high street, 10 mins from Glastonbury, 20 mins from Haynes Car museum. We only booked the one night, as this was the last leg of our trip, but would have gladly have stayed longer. Warm, friendly welcome. Twin room situated on the top floor. Beds were super comfy, great night sleep. We booked in for evening meal and breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The food was lovely. Really enjoyed our stay, definitely book here again.

One booking, 2 rooms. one room in the main building, this room was of an acceptable standard. second room in an annexe a few hundred yards down the road, substandard accommodation & an immediate distance between myself and my travelling companion. Hotel staff not interested in our grievances.

Fabulous overnight stay to visit Clarks Village- literally a 2 minute walk away. Good restaurant for the evening although a bit short of places to sit and just have a drink. Bit tired looking but clean, large rooms and shower good. Certainly value for money.

The family room we booked was in a different building 100 yards away and the other side of the road which meant we got soaked just getting to breakfast. These rooms also had poor internal sound proofing. Try and get a room in the main building.

Lovely staff, decent food with good choices. There was a few items in the room from the previous occupant when we checked in which wasn't good, but it was soon sorted. In a very nice, central area for sightseeing.

Staff and food great, room not so great

Staff 10/10, Food 10/10, Location 10/10, Room 5/10, Price 5/10. Room very dated and definitely over priced. No hook on bathroom door, no anti slip for shower, taps dripped, toilet didn’t flush easily, no biscuits with tea or coffee and for the amount that we paid it would have been good to have some bottled water available as well, which we always get in other places. This is all rated on Room 20. Stayed here before across the car park and was great. Our room was down the road

Room fine but food service needs improving

Room is fine and purposeful a bit dated but it's not new. Shared front entrance could be helpful if people closed it too fully. Food choices limited we were down to third option, and perhaps because we chose items with our 40% discount. No lamb again and no mixed grill, but you could have steak,bacon chop sausage egg and mushroom, strange but no mixed grill. Asked for water when meal arrived had to ask again it just arrived by the time we finished. Lots of people running around little service.
