Lodging in Shepton Mallet, Somerset

“Working at Glastonbury festival for 3 weeks on the last night 10 of us decided to go out for dinner. From the minute wee walked in the welcome we got was brilliant. The lovely lady from the kitchen came out to take our order what a laugh we had. The food was amazing and fresh. We have now maid this our new stop every year we are down. Thanks for the hospitality”

“We went for an evening meal as staying near by. The food was excellent and can highly recommend a visit. Friendly staff and great service.

Food & drinks: Well worth a visit.”

“This is a really lovely hotel. It's out in the stakes so it's really peaceful and quiet. The balcony outside has fantastic views over Somerset to Glastonbury tor and beyond.
All of the stuff were absolutely wonderful and helped us out of a real sticky spot when a taxi let us down. They're really friendly, really quick to help and couldn't do enough to make their guests' stay and experience to remember.
The rooms are spacious, well equipped, clean and tidy, and the beds were comfortable.
Parking is free and plentiful and there are some charging points for electric cars.
The food was very good indeed.
Simply a lovely experience. Really enjoyed ourselves, and I love your sense of humour!
Thank you, Crossways!”

“Deserves to be much busier than it is. Cracking, basic back street boozer with a very impressive beer selection, lovely scratchy vinyl sounds and friendly service.”

“A Truly Special Stay – Unforgettable Moments at Bowlish House From the moment I arrived at Bowlish House, I felt completely at ease. The house itself is full of charm and character, but what truly made my stay unforgettable was the host—absolutely amazing in every way. Warm, welcoming, and effortlessly kind, they made me feel more like a friend than a guest. On my first night, I found myself in the beautiful garden, sharing drinks and stories with the host and two other guests. I honestly can’t remember the last time I laughed so much. That evening set the tone for the rest of my stay—full of joy, connection, and genuine warmth. It’s rare to come across a place where the company is just as memorable as the setting. The house is gorgeous, with a peaceful, timeless feel. My room was spotless, cozy, and beautifully styled, and the breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious—thoughtfully prepared and full of local flavor. Bowlish House is more than just a lovely place to stay—it’s somewhere you feel instantly at home. I left with a full heart, new memories, and a genuine desire to return. Thank you so much for the laughter, the stories, and the wonderful hospitality. I truly loved your company.”

“I can only recommend 'The Dusthole'. We were very impressed by the owner's helpful and friendly manner as well as the 'charming' rooms. The atmosphere is very familiar, typically 'English', the room is very clean and the beds are extremely comfortable. I would definitely book here again! Thank you very much for the great time!!”

“Just wanted to follow up on our experience at Haskins, Shepton Mallet this morning. We were served beautifully by a lovely lady who was polite, helpful and had an excellent attitude to customer relations, despite only' being in the job for three weeks! What a pleasure to shop with her!
Many thanks
(And, yes, we bought the new suite!)”
