A hidden rural gem, this pub has probably changed very little over the last seventy or so years (apart from new loos!). Built in the 1860s, partly as a farm, and partly as a hotel to serve the nearby Mid-Somerset GWR branch railway station, it was part of the Duke of Somerset's estate. Sadly, in the 1960's, the Labour government closed the station (as recommended in the Beeching Report), and the hotel became a quiet country pub. The farm was sold in the 1980s. The one locally sourced beer and the cider is served from a glass panelled counter screen in the central passage. There may be a guest beer in the summer months. There are two simple but comfortable rooms, one either side of the central passage for sitting and drinking: the Public Bar to the left and the 'Commercial Room' with Bar Billiards to the right. Outside, to the right, there is a good-sized garden.
