On check in you are personally shown to your room. Incredible choices for breakfast .. NOT buffet style but a menu, and freshly cooked with local fayre. Joy!!! Everything done with a smile from the team. The attention to detail, the character of the property and the mission for providing top quality has been accomplished 100% Rooms: Lovely large bedroom . Huge bed, spotlessly clean. Brilliant decor to sympathetically address the character of a room in a historic building . .. throughout the hotel, the standard of decor, cleanliness etc is exemplary"

"Amazing hosts! Came over from NZ with my fiancés family, and they’d booked us in mentioning I was coming from New Zealand and he went out of his way to get a traditional Nz flag so he could fly it for me specifically. Absolute gentleman, and passionate about people you can’t help but smile, and want to return. The hospitality industry is missing more people like the business owners here. Food was also amazing! Very generous portions and cooked to perfection Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Sunday Roast 2 Whole Chicken, Sunday Roast Beef"

"Never had such a choice of dishes anywhere. Fast service. Staff very friendly. Always busy. Had lasagna beef with salad and garlic bread, good price and very filling. Change to our favourite venison stew, which is excellent. Pub does not open until midday, don’t know why. They also have Motel attached to the pub. Not exactly our local but worth travelling to . Just a bit squashed tables, but you can’t have it all"

"I am not from the local area and decided to try this restaurant for delivery. I won't go into detail about the delivery experience as it was not good. The food, on the other hand, was incredible. I ordered a chef's special and it was outstanding. The lamb, cooked off the bone, was delicious, especially with the sauce, onion, and peppers. It was one of the best dishes I've ever had, and I've tried a lot. The portions were also very generous. As for the service, it was for delivery."

"I would have rated this restaurant a 3.5 because I feel a 4 is a bit generous. We arrived shortly after they opened and requested to wait before ordering as the restaurant was not very busy, but we were told we had to order right away. Despite expecting to spend a few hours enjoying our Sunday roast, our tables were cleared and we were presented with the bill within 40 minutes. It felt rushed and lacked the relaxing atmosphere we had hoped for. However, the view outside was still great and the roast itself was delicious."

"I have been looking for somewhere like this for ages! I often visit friends in Devon from my home in Hertfordshire and wanted a nice spot for a lunch stop around the halfway mark. This fits the bill perfectly. Location wise it’s just 2 minutes from the A303 halfway into the journey. The pub has real character, the staff were friendly and there was a good vibe in the place. I had the Sunday Roast and it was excellent, perfectly cooked, tasty and generous. Parking: Private car park"

"Myself and my partner were staying in the area this weekend and thoroughly W joyed our meal. We were recommended this place by some locals and thought we would give it a try. Being people who very much enjoy a curry we were not sure what to expect from a small place out in rural Somerset and we were so surprised! We loved every mouthful and the prices were reasonable. Will definitely be going back when next in the area."

"I have to work in Somerset and Dorset occasionally and I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else, I love this hotel! The rooms are great, with some having a separate living space to where the bed is which is great for a week away from home. The mini fridge is packed full of different drinks and some chocolate. The beds are massive and very comfy. My only two complaints about the rooms are that the showers and televisions are quite old now and could do with replacing in my opinion. The hotel restaurant and bar are exquisite, the service is excellent and the menu is huge."

"I have been taken aback by this restaurant multiple times. The service has always been top-notch. Not only do they serve large portions, but the food is consistently delicious. Their risotto is especially outstanding, but everything else is seasoned perfectly. This is true Italian cuisine, not some imitation version, and it is prepared by people who genuinely care about their food and friendly, quick service, all at a very affordable price. After hearing so many good things, I finally decided to try the restaurant for myself, and it exceeded my expectations. The ambiance is beautiful and relaxing, the staff is charming, and it is a very comfortable spot to dine alone. I returned the next day with a friend who was equally impressed. What really stood out to me were the many loyal customers, a lot of them Italian, which is always a good sign. Whether you dine in or take away, this restaurant offers a very enjoyable experience. I am hooked."

"We stopped at the Bull on our way home from holiday, it's in an ideal location on the main road. Staff were friendly upon arrival and we were able to sit where we wanted. Starters and mains were both very tasty, especially the tagliatelle special that we both had, lots of flavour! A very traditional village pub, felt like home. Would recommend."

"The food at this restaurant is fantastic and the staff are amazing, very helpful and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful Sunday lunch. The pub is fully wheelchair accessible with parking available, although there is no specific disabled space. The price per person is between £10-20. I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all a 5 out of 5. I highly recommend trying the Sunday Roast."

"The restaurant had a nice decor and the servers were friendly and efficient. However, the Thai red chicken curry lacked authentic flavor and the portion size was small. The curry was not as spicy as expected. The prices were high for the portion sizes, with dishes like the small curry costing £19.00. Overall, we may hesitate before deciding to dine at this restaurant again."

"We chose Something Else as a midpoint for friends to meet, reviews suggested it would be good but lunch exceeded expectations. We both had haddock, chips and mushy peas. Wonderfully light batter on fresh haddock, brilliant chips and excellent home steeped mushy peas. Our waitress Tory was charming and efficient, the upstairs restaurant is very welcoming and a really nice place to be. If only we lived closer."

"Second time visiting. The first time was a really positive experience where we both had lovely food, however the same can’t be said this time. Once we were seated, our drinks order was taken and then we waited 30 mins for our food order to be taken. When our food order was taken, we ordered a second round of drinks which were never brought to us. The food arrived and the eggs were slimy and undercooked and the ‘muffins’ my food was served on were just burger buns which was disappointing."

"This wasn't an easy place to spot, it didn't really stand out in the street. It was a bit of a guess coming in here, but I'm glad we did. All four of us had a really delicious lunch. Three of us had sandwiches, which were generous, and came with a nice salad and crisps. (Granary) bread was tasty. I had falafel sandwich; the falafels tasted home made. One person had a falafal cum mixed salad bowl. It looked so interesting and delicious home made coleslaw, couscous salad, rice salad, variety of other ingredients, plus falafels of course. Just as well I never saw the sweet treats before I went to pay. Such a shame I'm on holiday and have no opportunity to come back!! The staff were polite and friendly."

"We visited a relative at the local hospital on Tuesday and decided to have a meal afterwards. The staff greeted us warmly, we had a nice seat by the window, and the food was excellent. I ordered a small rump steak with chips, while my husband chose the roast duck breast special. My steak was cooked perfectly blue as requested, and the chips were delicious along with the stilton sauce I added. My husband enjoyed his duck with a side of well-cooked vegetables. For dessert, we both had the Eton Mess, which was one of the best I've ever had. Overall, it was a fantastic meal. The only small criticism we had was that the dessert took nearly half an hour to arrive, but the restaurant was busy and we understand that good food takes time to prepare. We enjoyed it so much that we have booked a table for tonight and are confident that it will be just as enjoyable."

"What a great find. Menu for carnivores, like me, is really good and veggies, like my wife, get a good look in too. My scallop pad Thai was a delight. I was fully expecting rubbery scallops, but no. They melted in the mouth and the blend of spices was excellent. I want the secret of that mix. Atmosphere is great with traditional decor. We felt quite young as the Over Stratton over 85s group was in. One actually apologised about the noise they had been making as they all have hearing problems. Staff very pleasant too. Just one very very very small thing though. You really don't have to bless me every time you visit the table. We will definitely be back."

"We spent two nights here with our son in law and daughter. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the included continental breakfast was generous. We opted for an optional cooked breakfast on our final morning which was delicious. We dined in the hotel for both nights of our stay and the menu and specials were sampled. We all enjoyed our meals which were piping hot, well cooked and imaginatively presented. The serving staff were pleasant, attentive and helpful and the landlord and landlady were very hospitable and hard working. The ambience in the pub was friendly and lively. We would definitely recommend and hope to stay again in the future."
