The New Inn

Staff were so friendly and welcoming which is always a good start and our dog was made very welcome too. Cherie (or Sherry, not sure) greeted us with a smile and throughout our stay made sure we had everything we needed. Our room was up some stone steps from the courtyard and was facing the road. Good secondary double glazing meant it was quiet even though facing the through traffic. Large bed 6ft+ wide (nb bed base was low to the ground so might not suit everyone but if you can manage stone steps then it probably won't be a problem) and delight of delights, it had the most lovely comfortable, high quality, 100% cotton bed linen which is always a good sign that they have thought of guest comfort. Good shower over a bath tub (made use of the bath too and hot water was plentiful). We were there in glorious weather so made use of the pretty courtyard for pre-dinner drinks and also the following morning to relax before setting off. Our dinner in the pub was really lovely. They serve 'Original Maids of Honour' pies (look them up, they are in Kew) but the night we were there they only had the beef pie, no chicken pie. Didn't matter as I chose the salmon cooked with sumac and (very buttery) new potatoes while my husband had the beef pie. Its served as a slice from a large pie and is stuffed full of delicious beef. We were pretty full after that so only had one dessert and Billy, who had been due to go home as they kitchen had closed, stayed on a bit longer to prepare the dessert which he presented beautifully. We made sure to tell Sophie the manager how good we found everything and its clear they are working hard to please their customers and have plans to refurbish and open up another room or two. We had managed to park for free in the Church car park (they have an arrangement I think) but if that is full then parking is available for a fee at the nearby Lanes Hotel. The village itself is very pretty with a couple of walks and a pretty Church yard.

Beautiful 'oldy worldy' rom with lovely period features. Very comfortable. Nice to have not only tea and coffee provided, but also bottles of water too. The staff were very accommodating and friendly-even finding us a table for dinner when they were very busy. The pub/restaurant is lovely-full of character and very inviting. We enjoyed our evening.

My friend and I stayed at the New Inn for the weekend as we were visiting friends locally. We ate at the pub both days as the food was super tasty (the menu even changes daily!), the service was good and there is a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. A genuinely traditional lovely old pub - kept as it should be, which is such a rare find these days. Our room was lovely, quiet and cosy, with traditional features and even a pretty view out onto the old highstreet. Had everything you could want in terms of facilities and the staff were friendly, welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. Highly recommend!

The rooms were quaint but well equipped with everything you need. The location was beautiful and lovely walks and very local to Yeovil. We ate in the restaurant and the food was 10/10! Don’t forget to get the onion rings!

Cannot fault this lovely Inn. From the manager Andrew to all the staff are very helpful. Our dinning experience was excellent. I have an allergy and all my request were met. Big thank you to the chef. Can’t thank you all enough. We will be back.
