Okay and to my liking, rooms well appointed and equipped with ensuite bathroom
Full set of towels and bath mat, comphy bed and cozy environment.
Jeff the owner was outstanding and could not have done enough for me, excellent, very friendly. Great stop over before an interview. Great breakfast included in the price, would defiantly stay again.
Stayed overnight prior to a day at the East Somerset Railway 10 minutes away.
Jeff welcomed us on arrival , and showed us to our room. Room was compact, but very comfortable, en suite, tea and coffee , tv and hairdryer in room , and very comfy bed.
Had a nice meal in the evening, served by a very friendly lady ( sorry we didn’t catch her name) , in the cosy dining room. We pre-ordered breakfast, which was lovely and set us up for the day.
All in all this was s great stay, with friendly hosts and great value. We would thoroughly recommend the Pecking Mill Inn.
Friendly inn frequented by locals. Evening meal was excellent. Breakfast equally as good. Ran by a decent landlord who wanted to help. My Motorbike was wet in the morning after an overnight shower. He offered to lend me towels to dry it off. Not many places would have gone that extra mile. There is nothing really close by to walk to. But friendly people decent food and service is all I really need when im away. Id stay again
We had a nice time at the Pecking Mill. It was clean, the room was extra large, with a double bed and two single beds. The breakfast was cook nicely and was hot. There were cereals, yogurts, toast, orange juice and hot drinks. A lovely place to stay.
Great location. Geoff was very welcoming and made our stay very comfortable. Room was lovely and quiet with a good bathroom. Breakfast was great.
Thanks Geoff!
Warm welcome in a lovely country pub. First class pub food reasonably priced, and well kept real ale. Compact room in excellent condition had lots of thoughtful little extras I didn’t expect in a pub with rooms, including mirror at right height for stool with hair dryer. Independent heating (not needed this time) and effective double glazing so no traffic noise.

Geoff was very friendly, responded quickly to messages and provided an early breakfast for us.
Beng so close the the arena up the road it is very convenient.
I had the a single room which, for the price, is fine. It is clean, comfortable, with all the basic necessities.
Breakfast was delicious and there is a varied menu for evening meals.
Subpar place to stay & most expensive of this 28 day trip. I thick it was the owner was the only other person I saw during my stay. He was a nice enough chap. Perhaps near retirement. Stayed in Room #4. 3 nights in late-March 2025.
Negatives:
The towels were dirty, like old rags actually. When called out in the morning, he replaced... with more of the same!!! The silverware both in the room and in the restaurant during breakfast had a sticky film on them. Dirty! The "English breakfast" itself was barely that & fair at best with everything being straight out of the can especially the beans. Yogurt was had only with fruit out of plastic container "pure sugar bombs"! The toilet seat was not clean. The shower area was tiny and had the pull thing to activate it from outside the shower. The faucets at the sink were too stiff. Wi-Fi issues with connectivity and speed. No USB power. Lastly, the room had the whimsical 1800's style door lock, you know the kind that you can peep through. Which means you need the key to lock it from the inside. That's really a major safety hazard in a event of a fire, I recommend leaving the key in there. These are illegal in the U.S.
Positives:
Check-in was easy. Lot's of free parking (especially when your the only one there). Quiet.
