The bar was full of locals surrounding it so I had to walk up and down 2 or 3 times and ask to be let in to rider as the barman was busy talking to locals. Once I got to talk the choice of beers was good, both hand pulled and not. Only one white wine available. I was told someone would come to the table to take the food order. We waited 10 mins and nobody so I ordered at the bar 2 specials - sea bream. 30 mins later and nothing had come,so I asked the barman to ask. 10 mins later the fish came. It was a lovely whole fish with salad and new potatoes. Very well cooked and good quality. The meal with 1.5 pints and a glass of wine and water came to around £50. Overall the quality of the food was held back by the service level and focus of the staff on the locals - which is understandable as it seems to be the centre of the community with lots of very nice locals coming in and enjoying themselves - but it does make non-locals feel as if they are 'gate-crashing' a local event!

I LOVED this place! First off, this bed and breakfast REALLY is in a village--the kind you see in…read morethe movies! Harts Lane is so narrow, my partner hesitated pulling our car into the lane and then really had second thoughts about pulling into the tiny parking area. I was too busy loving everything I could see to care about that! Then, we walked into the bed and breakfast, where an out-of-breath Linda Smith greeted us warmly and apologized for not being ready. We didn't mind. After all, there were TWO pubs in one TINY village! ;) When we returned from our obligatory pub visit, Linda led us upstairs and to our room. Do you know how sometimes places look clean but don't smell clean? This clean room smelled GREAT! Then, I went into the bathroom. It was completely remodeled and very modern. I was in heaven! A quaint, clean bedroom with a clean modern shower! There was even a place for me to sit down in the bedroom and put on my makeup. I decided to use it for sitting down and reading a daily devotional, but just having this wonderful space was a plus. Did I mention there was a fireplace? The next morning, Linda cooked us "whatever we wanted." My partner happily ordered sausage and eggs, and I ordered bacon and eggs. While we waited, I looked around the family dining room. There were wonderful family pictures--Linda and Ian Smith's wedding pictures, their children, etc. My partner meanwhile marveled at his freshly squeezed orange juice and some of the woodwork in the room. Then, the food came. The bacon was the size of 4 American slices stuck together but a lot thicker. Everything was delicious, but after we ate, we felt like we needed a nap! If you go to this area of England, stay here! The Smiths are very congenial people, their accommodations are clean, their food is outstanding, and the village is picturesque. You'll swear you're in a movie.

After a visit to the impressive and informative website we booked a room for a Sunday in mid June. Our late afternoon Sunday evening arrival was greeted with sunshine and Calvin checked us in and showed us to our room, which was stunning. We weren't sure what to expect in such a tiny village but it's fair to say that no expense was spared in the fitting out of the new bedrooms block in a building separate from the main pub / restaurant. The linens were gorgeous, the bathroom spacious and the rooms well fitted with all mod cons! We had dinner in the dining room with some old friends who came over form South Petherton. They hadn't been in a while but were happy for an excuse to dine at the Red Lion as the food has a good reputation among the locals. No one was disappointed and a decent wine list and selection of real ales helped to make the evening very sociable. Breakfast was fresh and tasty and served with individually and freshly ground coffee, which was a perfect way to start a buy day of site seeing. We didn't check the wardrobe on our way out and realized when we got to Stonehenge that we had left our jackets behind. A couple of phone calls later and Calvin was on the case eventually and graciously getting our jackets to Dublin for us. All is now good in the world. We'd highly recommend the Red Lion in Babcary.

The Red Lion is split into two eating areas: restaurant and pub. The pub is lovely and cosy, and we chose to et here. The food is your typical gastronomic fare and we tucked into paella and the lamb shank, though the menu varies daily. Dessert was also excellent, particularly recommend the affogato. It seems to be very popular with locals in the area, and you'll see a very full car park on arrival (you have to drive due to remoteness). Listen to the owner's recommendations, he's very eccentric but obviously passionate about the food they serve.

I can't praise this place enough. Contemporary Regency decor for a sense of grandeur, Molton Brown amenities, heated towel racks, Hypnos luxury bedding, the best Eggs Benedict we had on our trip, organic cereals, a wide selection of premium Tiptree jams and curds, homemade fruit compote, perfectly fried bacon and sausages, gorgeous presentation, full French presses of excellent coffee, attentive service, organic peanut butter, different yogurts, plenty of fruit ... this place was a dream. Every square inch was spotless, and a private car park made it worth the safe and scenic 5-minute downhill walk to the town center. The hospitality was friendly, welcoming, personable, yet also professional. Huzzy and I agreed: we would come back to Bath just to stay here! Thank you James and Eliza for providing the best stay--even surpassing our Buckingham Palace hotel in London!--of our vacation.

When we arrived at the 139 in Bath, we were shown to the waiting room and served a nice beverage. The host knew exactly who we were and addressed us by name. We felt welcomed. The room was comfortable and beautiful- very classic in look. We had a great sleep on the bed, like I mentioned- comfortable room! Squeamish skip this paragraph... When I arrived in Bath I was deep into my trip and short on socks. The sock bag in my suitcase had reached critical mass and was going to be a new kind of 'Dirty Bomb'. When asked if the 139 had a washer and dryer, they said of course. They braved the bag. I got my socks back the next morning, folded. Thanks! Breakfast the next morning was wonderful- fresh eggs, great bacon, crunchy and chewy bread (ok so I'm not a food writer). Lots more options than a traditional eggs and bacon breakfast were available. Thanks 139 for a wonderful experience. It's been a couple years since we stayed, but the memory is fresh in my mind.

Shanti had made a beautiful layered cake in her Aga stove, delicious! This beautiful building is made of stone and is where Mark grew up. It has been entirely renovated recently with new copper piping, and beautiful interior decorating. The bungalow has a separate entrance, it's own kitchenette/living room, patio/garden area just off living room, bathroom with steam shower, and private lush bedroom with beautiful bedding, decor, double glazed windows, and once in awhile the peaceful sounds of sheep from across the road. After checking in we were given an extensive breakfast menu with all the normal choices and a few out of the ordinary ones to choose from for the next morning. My boyfriend had poached haddock, eggs, and toast, I ordered smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, fruit salad, and yogurt. Fresh coffee, and tea were also served in their formal dining room just off the bedroom. Excellent breakfast! The B&B is about 10 miles from Bath and with prior communication and possibly an added fee a pickup can be arranged. Mark drove us into Bath where we were meeting family for dinner so we wouldn't have to drive home in the dark; my boyfriend is English but hadn't driven there in 40 years and hadn't used manual transmission in as long. There are also close bus stops to take you all over! The countryside is incredibly beautiful, this location is also not far from Bristol. We have thoughts of coming back and staying for weeks at a time. A lovely place to slow down your travels, take a breath, and be pampered by Shanti!

Chestnuts is a lovely place with modern features and a delightful breakfast…read more We chose Chestnuts because it was within easy walking distance to the Glastonbury Tor. We came to see the sunrise at 4:50 am on the solstice. It was a moving experience. Duncan was coming back from the market with fresh bakery bread and fruit for breakfast when we walked back from seeing the sunrise. Breakfast was ready after we showered. After breakfast we walked down the hill to meet friends. Pearl has a lot of suggestions for where to go and what to see. Chestnuts has an excellent location for walking. It's 2 blocks to the odd little shops. All the mystical stuff from King Arthur and Mists of Avalon are within a mile: the Chalice Well, the Glastonbury Abby, King Arthur and Queen Guinevere's tomb. From here you could drive to see Stonehenge and Avebury in a day. My wife wants me to mention that we had our best showers here of our 2 week stay in the UK.
