Lovely little gem of a place. Does full English breakfast until 3pm, which will ensure we'll be regulars. Great menu choices reasonable prices. Cozy bar, nicely appointed restaurant. Friendly staff, clean loos. Pretty little garden where you can eat or drink. Fair size carpark
I never expected to find myself in the quaint town of Shepton Mallard, but here I am stumbling across what I can only can describe as the most stunning of English pubs. With not a single pub open in the entire town, the shrubbery hotel offered for us to dine and wine in style. From the stunning decor and the on time yet delicious food this hotel offered it all to us. I cannot thank you enough for your hospitality and a brilliant time.
A lovely friendly hotel in a perfect location for all the local attractions. The food and bar is good too. I'm planning to stay here again next year!
Stayed one night to be close to the Sunday Giant Flea market at the nearby showground. We arrived in time for lunch and found they sell my favourite beer Caffreys. Quick service and friendly check in and they had reserved a parking spot for us - nice touch. The all day breakfast was tasty, hot and a generous size with two of everything. The room was light and airy and the bed was comfy. It needed a luggage stand, the bathroom was carpeted and there was only a thin blind, so the bright morning light woke us up. The beer garden could do with some TLC. Overall though a pleasant stay and would stay again.
Very friendly service and really lovely people running this place. I sent an email about my dietary requirements and they happily provided for me for breakfast menu to help me with my allergy issues. Helpful with the tourist places A car park on site. They do provide meals for lunch and evenings if you require and has a bar too so we would come here again. Clean rooms and lots of room.
My family and I stayed here the night before our father's wake, also hosted here. We received a very warm welcome, had refreshments on arrival, very clean comfortable rooms, fantastic breakfast and a celebration of life with full use of the building. Very well done. Thanku
Absolutely loved my stay with my partner recently. Superb service, lovely scenery, we will hopefully be back
Have a lovely stay when attending a music event Clean, good food Breakfast is wonderful and the service attentive Well situated for Basecamp
We stayed here just for one night and had dinner and breakfast and it was so friendly and inviting, the food was amazing and the staff are so nice and friendly definitely would go back again
Owner is there, at the desk .. it’s rare now but it’s clear she cares a lot and is taking a series of steps to make the most of a historic and charming hotel - how many are left which are privately owned?! I had room 108 which was cute and comfy with iconic little views from two windows. Noticed a good sized outside area and the free parking was useful so centrally located in Shepton M. Price was very reasonable for a couple of nights stay. I didn’t eat at restaurant so can’t say how that was but would stay again if in area - so easy to nip down road to Glastonbury and enjoy the Tor views on the way.
