Tony is fantastic, so is the dog, the food is amazing and is reasonably priced. The place has character and charm, beautiful surrounding walks and a well stocked bar.
Looking forward to visiting again!
What an experience? Do you like character? Quirky? Fun? A dog that looks crossed with a boar!
Then this is the place.????
Loved it!
Good rooms, comfortable beds.
Did I mention Tony is an excellent chef and an even better storyteller?
Highly recommend for an entertaining time.
What a fabulous place to stay. Rooms spotless, breakfast was excellent. You could spend hours jyst looking around all the artifacts dotted around the hotel. Lovely bar area with roaring log firecand comfortable chairs to relax with a drink. Owner very hospitable and lots of local info to share. Loved our stay.
A fantastic quirky little gem of an inn. Wonderful open fire in a cozy bar that takes you back to another age.
Tony the owner is quite a guy. His big fluffy dog is adorable.
A pleasant change from the bland sterile chain hotels
We stayed for 2 nights at the Dusthole which is next to Shepton Mallet Prison. We arrived early and we were welcome to check in early which was helpful. We went to the prison fir a ghost hunt so the Dusthole us oergectly situated for this.||We travelled to Western-super-mare easily from Shepton Mallet and don't the day by the sea. ||The hotel was quirky to say the least. Its an old building and its great in that respect. The food was delicious but had to be pre ordered to assist the chef so we didn't eat there on the second day. Breakfast was also delicious. I have a gluten free diet and they catered for me with no problem which was good.
Great place to stay. Tony is a great cook, and is a treat to chat with. Spent many hours sat by the fire with him,during our stay. Room was quirky,oldy worldy,but clean. Suited us perfectly. If you want a sterile, dull hotel chain room, this is not the place for you. Will definitely be going back.
#We visited here because it looked good on the website and could not believe just how good it was when we arrived. What an absolute gem of a place, with such a great atmosphere and old world charm. We could not believe the quality of the food that was served real MasterChef standard. The owner, Tony, was so welcoming and made you feel you were part of the family. We were only there one night but we will definitely be returning.
If you’d love a host by the name of Tony who wipes his nose with his hand on your arrival whilst drunkenly telling you there’s no food available after you’ve navigated the seated courtyard area caked in fresh and mouldy dog faeces, then this is the place for you. Bearing witness to his lack of hygiene and seeing his aggressive hound in the kitchen on several occasions, I passed on devouring any food and went elsewhere as I didn’t relish the prospect of spending my evening vomiting in my equally grubby room. How anyone can give this ironically named hovel a positive review is utterly bewildering. Dust bowl? More like hell hole.
