We really enjoyed our two-night stay at the Horseshoe Inn. Jamie was welcoming and the room was clean and spacious. The food was also incredible! You can tell it’s home cooked and fresh. All the previous reviews I read are true. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.

10/10. Wonderful staff that really went above and beyond to accommodate us quote last minute. Quality food, reasonably priced beverages, and great conversation from the staff. The room was comfortable, and given the price I couldn’t have dreamt of any more. Very appreciative of Jaimie’s efforts to accommodate us.

Very clean room and the staff are very nice. There is no allocated parking but there is plenty on the road opposite. If you arrive earlier than pub opening times you will be asked to phone ahead and you may need to head back up the hill to find signal.

The lady who checked me in was excellent, very courteous and helpful. Amenities were very good, and room was clean. Bed was comfortable, my pillow was too soft, but that is a personal observation and choice. Overall an excellent choice!!

QUite old fashioned and our room smelled of wet dog, which was off-putting. Bed was really not good quality or comfortable, it was more like a water bed. Amenities are basic and sharign one bathrom between at least 6 rooms is not great. The woman beind the bar was lovely and friendly, but apart from that it was very average I'm afraid.

Very well managed and lovely place to stay. I wish I could have stayed more days. Very friendly restaurant and pub downstairs, everything taken care of. The area is accessible by bus in either direction (Wells or Bath) and the town itself is highly walkable. I would stay there again.
