3rd stay here- we love it. Downstairs rooms available (we specifically asked for one) otherwise up a flight of stairs, large car park, beautiful fenced off lake to walk around and seating. staff are so friendly and helpful. Fridge, fan & kettle in the room, water and biscuits there on arrival along with tea, coffee & hot chocolate. Comfy beds, amazing meals in the evening, lots of choice, brilliant portion size. So friendly with our child age 7, the chef came out every night to say hello & even offered our daughter a meal that wasn’t on the menu! 40 minutes from Longleat, 20 minutes from Barrington Court national trust house & gardens.

Everything lovely, couldn’t have asked for anything more! 3rd time staying here.

Very pleasantly surprised by our family room. Nice size, split over 2 floors, beds were comfortable, lovely shower, and it had French doors out to a small decked area. Fantastic! The quality of the breakfast was superb, and plenty of choice too. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We hadn't checked in as expected on our day of arrival, and we received a telephone call to check if we would need any food as it was late evening. Exceptional service, thank you. We visit family in Yeovil regularly, and will definitely stay here again in future.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly in the dining room where they were very willing to shift furniture around to accommodate our large group. Staff lovely in the bar area too - lots of room for us plus children and grandchildren and good bar snacks. Overall the hospitality was excellent.

we had two single beds which were very narrow and mattresses were soft. The rest of the family had lively large family rooms - our’s was really just too small. Also not very keen on the external door near our room staying open day and night.

I’ve stayed at the Halfway House Inn many times and it’s the location, the accommodation, the friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness that always makes it a pleasure to stay at. Competitively priced and having good road links makes it easy for travelling. Located not too far from Yeovil means it’s only about 15 minutes from the town centre but has great countryside views and a lake behind the Inn. Would recommend it for anyone wanting to get away and explore the area.

There wasn’t anything that I didn’t like.

The Halfway House Inn is perfectly positioned for easy access to the surrounding area and attractions (National Trust, Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovil, Sherborne, etc). The breakfasts are super, there is a slight DIY element to tea/coffee/toast which is not be a problem and helps to cut down on waste. Our room was a 'lodge' outside of the main building with direct access to the car park. Pretty much everything you could need in the room including a fridge. The current owners are currently in the process of a phased renovation and redecoration project, so things can only get even better.

Would have liked to see carpet rather than hard floor, but understand that this can be problematic with people coming straight in from outside - perhaps provision of a brush for grit removal? Being close to the back entrance means people walking past, perhaps a mirrored film on the windows to add a little more privacy whilst perched on the bed reading before tea time? Overall very good stay with nothing much to grumble about!

Booking in on arrival was very easy as was finding the hotel. Staff very helpful. Room was sufficient for our needs. Food very well prepared although portions could have been a little smaller for our personal needs.

TV reception in our room was very poor, however as we were staying during Storm Babet this may have been the cause. Due to the very bad weather we had to curtail our stay, leaving after two nights instead of four again due to the weather washing out the places we were to visit. This is no fault of the hotel, just the storm.

Very clean,well appointed room with ample towels,soap, shower gels and a welcome variety of hot drinks (wife liked the latte sachets) and good quality biscuits. Easy to use shower with hot water readily available. Excellent choice of food for breakfast. Cooking was was excellent; service was with a smile. We were made to feel very welcome.

Very little; the blind for the skylight window came loose, but I managed to put it back. I should have preferred a double room, but I was late in making the booking and was pleased that you could accommodate us at fairly short notice and during a Bank Holiday weekend.

My partner, our dog Vicky and I loved our stay here. Our toom was one of those out the the back and ideal for us with our dog, so we literally had steps to get to the walk around the lake. Our room was comfortable and I loved the bar area that they had refurnished and updated in their time there and was really comfortable to have a drink or a coffee. Being dog friendly was a big must for us and your fur babies are made as welcome as you. I also loved the dog gift box you can buy as a gift or as a treat for your fur baby, which consists of a tennis ball, poo bags, collapsable dog bowl and a small blanket and comes in a good quality gift box. The food is delicious and lots of choice and you won't go away hungry and don't forget to leave room for breakfast where you have lots of choice and be well set up for the day . Our dog enjoyed her stay as much as us and cannot wait for us to go back.

That we couldn't stay longer

Staff very friendly and helpful. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room well equipped, with a lovely view.

A bit disappointed that the breakfast service does not start until 8-30am on weekends (6-30am on weekdays). We generally like to have breakfast our between 7-30 and 8-00am, particularly if we have a long journey ahead of us. Apart from this, we found the quality and service at breakfast was excellent.

The room was spot on, breakfast was nice and the pub was friendly when drinking in there. It is the ideal place to stay when staying with dogs The room we stayed in was just outside the hotel, do we didn't have a load of stairs to walk up and didn't have to walk through the pub with our dog, it just makes it easier.

It was good no complaints If I had to be really picky there was a little dog hair in the corners of the room and the cup in the bathroom to rinse your mouth looked like it wasn't changed from the last guest, but this is very very minor it was the ideal place and I highly recommend.
