The Mendip Inn

Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Food was excellent; lovely spacious room - bed was comfortable and the refreshments were really a nice touch! Lovely shower, very nice to have toiletries - next time we stay I won’t take any with us

We stayed in the Bird Cage room, it was a lovely room finished to a high standard. Generally clean, The top of the leather bed needs a good dust as do the lights and mirror. It was quite thick so this hasn’t been done for a while. Bathroom amenities included, these aren’t the ones labelled on the bottles so be careful if you have allergies! Food was provided for breakfast which was nice, bottles of water, orange, fruit & porridge. Bed was comfy, slept quite well, floors are creaky with people walking past but generally was quiet. Tv has free view, WiFi didn’t work in the room but I did have 5G! Only one toilet roll in the room. I’d stay again and I think it was fair for the price but with a few tweaks I think it could be excellent. The restaurant was brilliant, food reasonably priced and excellent quality, staff were helpful and friendly.

Really lovely Inn on the A37. Comfortable and clean rooms with a bit of road noise - but not enough to keep me awake in the lovely, comfy bed. Some tea and coffee making facilities too and enough for a light breakfast in the room was a bonus. Friendly staff and great value for money. Would not hesitate to stay again if in the area.

Lovely room, and excellent value for the money. No Breakfast served, but the Inn suppies each room with a breakfast buffet, which includes a breakfast bar, Oats meal and fruit. Very comfortable bed and a lovely on suite. Would visit again..

Started wonderful then went downhill. Now he good points first: I stayed in the “Rabbit Hutch Room” (all the rooms are themed). The bed was a small double which is great for a single room and was comfortable. The bathroom was lovely with a shower that had a rainfall shower head as well as a normal one and looked new. Apart from the the drawer in the single drawer in the dressing table (which was lovely by the way) there was no other storage. There was a hook with a single hanger. The room could not take a wardrobe, but perhaps a small beside drawer unit could be a put beside the dressing table. Lack of storage would not be a problem for an overnight stay but I was there for 3 nights, so not so great. I had dinner in the restaurant on Friday & Saturday night and both nights and it was excellent and the staff were great. I didn’t feel rushed and it was a lovely atmosphere. The location was brilliant for visiting Wells, Weston Super Mare and Cheddar which I did during my stay. Now the not so good things: On Saturday I was told that food isn’t served after 6pm on Sundays, but the bar would be open…..which was fine. I had dinner in Weston, got back at 7:30pm to find it all locked up and the bar closed….:probably because the f the football…..which would have been fine if they’d said something on Saturday night! Had they done so, I would have stayed out later, but got back at 7:30pm hoping to get a drink, believing the bar would be open as I’d been told on Saturday night….. On Monday morning I went downstairs just after 7:30 am to start putting things in my car for the journey home. There was a smoke alarm going off downstairs that could be not be heard until you went downstairs to the main bar/restaurant area. I could find not staff as downstairs was in darkness. I rang the only number I had but of course the inn was closed so I left a message to say I was calling 999. I phoned the fire service and knocked on the other guest room doors to let them know. The fire crew arrived and thankfully it was just an error, but the fact there was no way to find a member staff was very worrying. It’s a shame that my short break ended on such sour notes.

The place is we'll decorated, and clean, and very relaxing. The food was so fresh and tasty and flavourful. The value for money was fantastic and the portion sizes were huge. The staff were polite and accommodating and there was gf and df adaption made to the meals on request. We will be returning very soon.
