The Manor House Inn

Shepton Mallet

Don’t change this place! 

A pub with charachter, so unusual these days with the majority part of chains or turned in to boutique gastro pubs.

Our second stay here, rooms 6,7 are outstanding value for money.

Food is very good, service is outstanding, the village beautiful but it just has soul which you can’t put a price on.

No hesitation recommending and we will be back

Heart, soul and history!

We received a warm welcome from the staff and local customers. All of the staff take a pride in their role and the service was always excellent. A special thank you to Lorraine for looking after us. Good choice of ales and ciders and we also enjoyed the tasty menu offered in the restaurant.

Friendly traditional pub

(This review is being written in August 2023 before a planned change of ownership.)

We booked here as somewhere to stay while we attended a large Christian gathering at the nearby showground. I work with children aged 8-11 twice a day and need somewhere quiet to rest during the day. I also have a medical condition that meant camping or caravaning would be challenging. This Inn met all our requirements, quiet, nicely fitted and close to the site.

The Manor House Inn exceeded our requirements. It certainly is quiet, off any main road, and with owners that appreciate guests don't want lots of noise and "stuff" going on. The drive to the event site is easy and close enough to allow me to come back and rest during the day. They also cleaned the room, when requested, at times that did not conflict with this rest time.

Breakfast was also very good with a wide choice of main options and not simply a full English or just elements of that. We tried a number of the options, all of which were much enjoyed. The bar is well stocked and includes alcohol-free options as well as the nectar of the gods (still ciders).

The rooms are comfortable, and while a little tired in places, nothing detracted from our stay. The shower in our room was a walk-in with a wide, gentle "rain" type head. I can't use higher pressure types as they can cause me pain. It was so lovely to return and enter our private, warm rain shower.

The staff were excellent, and a special call out to Kayleigh, with whom we had the most interactions. She was always friendly and courteous and answered all our questions.

We have booked in for the same days next year and hope the new owners don't change too many things. Especially look after the staff you have.

I have no hesitation in recommending the Manor House Inn for bed and breakfast and the bar. We did not try other meals as they were provided for us at the festival, but the menu looked good. That said, it is not the sort of place to come if you want lots going on. It is a quiet inn in a quiet village.

Lovely quiet stay with comfortable rooms and real cider. Exceeded our expectations.

We made the booking for our two night stay 6 months prior as we were attending a wedding in the area, making it very clear that we required a twin bedded room  and that my wife used a wheelchair. We had an immediate response stating that wasn't a problem and we would be put in a room with a double bed and a single bed. Also they offered use of a shower stool which we accepted.
I would also add that two days prior to arrival we were asked to complete an online check in form which we did. Yet again mentioning our requirements.
   Upon arrival we were allocated a room with just a double bed and not enough room to manoeuvre the wheelchair. We were offered the an alternative  room but this had steps to access, however it was larger and had two beds  with room to manoeuvre the wheelchair. We settled on that one despite my wife who has very limited mobility having to negotiate the steps.
Settling in to the room (Room 1) we noticed that it was extremely damp - and had a dehumidifier in the corner. No shower stool either - just a metal garden chair. Sadly we felt we didn't have a choice but to remain.

The positives were that the staff members we dealt with were fantastic in particular the lovely lady who dealt with us upon arrival, the meal we had in the restaurant on our first night was extremely good as were the breakfasts.
Its a really stunning building, located in a beautiful village.
Such a shame that the room was so damp and our requirements were not noted, despite various confirmations. 


Not great

A super Sunday roast, drinks and great service.  We sat outside as we hadn’t booked and the restaurant was super busy.  The staff were very friendly and helpful.  The roast pork was excellent and highly recommend this for pork lovers.  Beef also lovely.

Lovely traditional pub with great food

What a lovely experience, we stayed here for one night and the service was fabulous - thanks to the charming girl behind the bar that also cooked and served our breakfasts. The rooms were warm and comfortable and the food delicious.

Comfortable and friendly

We ate here last night and absolutely loved it :) roaring fire although not in our restaurant section, which was candlelit and beautiful. Friendly waitresses, not just to us but to other parties- happy to recommend or alter things as requested. Food was delicious ! Pie was massive and could’ve fed 2- but no complaints from my husband - only that he didn’t have room to finish his Guiness and couldn’t face dessert. If we were local we’d definitely be back. A proper country pub feel, just what a cold evening ordered!

Delicious country pub/restaurant

Visited for a family wedding being held nearby, so stayed for a long weekend. The Manor House Inn is in a charming village and there was ample parking. We were met by a lovely staff member called Bethany, who was polite and informative about the area. She showed us to our stable room, which was large, clean and comfortable. The welcome tray was much appreciated. We also ate here and the breakfast was plentiful, tasty and fresh, we also found out that Bethany cooked too...well done !!! Sally our host was always happy and went that extra mile for us, even though they were busy. I would highly recommend a stay here, we are coming back so we can explore some of the local area in a few months. Thank you for our most welcoming stay 😀 

Wedding Long Weekend

Had an evening meal here. The menu on the website was slightly different to menu when we got there so not much choice for myself. So I had the fish and chips hubby had burger. Although it was very nice 2 glasses of wine and two pints at almost £70  for the bill definitely wouldn’t return far too pricey for what we got!

Too pricey!

We had a delicious supper here this week to celebrate our sons birthday. We all came away very satisfied, sadly we didn't have room to sample dessert so we'll have to revisit! Thank you very much for looking after us so well.
