I stayed one night in March 2009 as a single person. The website mentioned it had been refurnished which is why I booked it, as I had stayed there a year previously and it wasnt at all good. This pub is still badly run, has ugly tired rooms with 1980s decor and unhelpful and unapologetic staff. It was also very expensive: £85.00 for a single person. Not even free shampoo or bath products, no hairdryer and miserable pre packaged buns & croissants for breakfast. The front door bell didnt work and I was left waiting outside for ages, none of the staff seem to really care and complained to me feeling tired. If you can possibily help it dont stay here, it is dreadful. This is sad as it has a good location next to the pretty church and the truely beautiful Montacute House is just a few paces away; a wonderful Elizabethan National Trust House. If you need to stay at Montacute, the other pub the Phelips Arms is much better value and has better rooms.
