Overnight stay at The New Inn near Ilminster.
The hosts were most welcoming and we enjoyed a lovely overnight stay. We had an excellent evening meal, plus a delicious breakfast with best bacon I have ever tasted!
The atmosphere in the pub in the evening was very friendly
and just as a village pub should be full of locals.

We had a wonderful stay at the New Inn.
We stayed in the family room which was perfect for our family.
We had a great dinner in the evening and a super breakfast in the morning.
It's in a very picturesque village which was lovely to walk around. Recommended!

So quiet in the depths of the Somerset countryside that there was little noise apart from the birds! Very hospitable, nice food, and a clean and adequately comfortable room. A pleasant night’s stay.
