Don't get me wrong, I like this place. The staff are friendly and helpful, however it is just not good enough to justify the London-type prices they charge. Food: great local ingredients, but let down by the mis-placed ambition of chef. Stop trying to tart up the food and drop the 'nouveau' presentation. The ingredients you have are so good,... more

Sometimes we do get things wrong and this particular breakfast was one of those times. Food and service was well below our normally high standard for which I apologise.most sincerely.

We offer good, local, wholesome food as is in keeping with a 16th century inn. I'm afraid we dont do white tablecloths, wine waiters or stuffy atmosphere. Sorry.

This is not a registered 5 star property with Visit Britain and it shows...the Blackdown Room is next to the kitchen and is noisy, the fans/fridges were humming all night. The room was dusty and a piece of chewed gum was left next too our bed! I could go on. Before I wrote on here I tried to settle my... more

This guest complained we were not 5 star and demanded her money back. We are rated in the top 12 pubs in UK by Times Online and have just won Sawday's Pub of the Year...apart from that..!. This guest did not report any problems to any of my staff during her stay and it is very difficult to address any...

We went for an overnight stay before an early meeting next day and planned a few drinks and a meal. Not realising the pub letting rooms were of such a high standard we dumped our bags in the homely bar and checked in, not particularly interested in the rooms but the Landlady insisted we viewed our room first. What a... more

We booked this hotel well in advance for the night after our wedding, and the weekend, including meals in the restaurant. We booked it especially for one of their rooms that has a private courtyard. on the day of the wedding, my fiancee arrived in the morning to get ready with the best man - to discover that we had... more

I am very sorry these guests had a bad experience at the Farmers Inn. I have double checked with my staff who tell me the room was booked as requested. The champagne was ordered at the bar in the evening and was delivered to the room. The gift of champagne arrived by courier the day before with only a surname...

We spent a relaxing weekend here recently. It's a restaurant with rooms, but the rooms are not the usual cramped afterthoughts. They were spacious and comfortable, as well as stylish in an unselfconscious way. The food is really delicious, too. I loved the fact that this hotel felt like it was deep in the countryside. But this has a downside... more

Just got back from a lovely weekend at Farmers Inn, the rooms are amazing and nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff we met. Highly recommended for those who just want to get away from it all for a weekend, the food is fantastic as well and very reasonably priced , I can't praise the place enough... more

My partner and I have just returned from a stay in the Farmers Inn. I almost didn’t want to write the review, so that this place could be our little secret because it is so amazing. Arriving after spending a night in Porlock Weir, the Farmer Inn was really a wonderful find. Nestled in the country roads of Somerset this... more
