The generous portion sizes of the meals were impressive.

The furniture in the room felt very basic and cheap.

charming stay near beautiful parks and interesting landmarks

I had an amazing stay, enjoying a spotless room with good quality linens and a fantastic breakfast service that made the mornings delightful. the location was just perfect for taking strolls to local attractions like the Ilminster Arts Centre, which is less than 5 km away, and Barrington Hill Meadows, only 3 km from the inn, perfect for those weekend walks I love so much.

Unfortunately, the room lacked adequate servicing during a longer stay, which could be a letdown for those used to daily refreshes. There was only one chair in a double room, and the overall lighting was poor at the far end where the tea-making facilities were located. the plastic drinking glasses felt a bit unrefined, similar to the scratchy duvet cover and lumpy pillows that could take away from comfort, not to mention towels that felt worn out. The breakfast menu lacked the variety that some might expect, since cereal and toast weren’t readily offered, though they were provided upon request, which felt like an oversight.

Exceptional evening meals

Our room was bright, clean, and comfy, and dinner was absolutely top-notch. The steak pie was a winner!

exceptionally welcoming atmosphere with modern bathrooms and delicious breakfasts

Great stay in a cozy pub.

the five dials inn is such a friendly n cozy little place! the staff were super welcoming n made us feel right at home. our standard double room was super comfy n clean. dinner was absolutely delicious, like first class cuisine and breakfast? totally excellent too! loved the good vibe of the bar n the local beers, had a blast celebrating my friends' anniversary!

only thing is parking could be a bit tricky, but i managed to find a spot no drama. also, the price was a tiny bit on the high side for what we had.

i had a fantastic stay at the five dials! the studio room was amazing—warm, clean, with incredible attention to detail. the bed was so soft! sarah, the owner, was extremely friendly and attentive. and the crème brûlée with toffee apple dessert? just divine! i wholeheartedly recommend this place when in the area!

Fantastic Room and Amazing Meals

I recently enjoyed a lovely one-night stay at a charming inn. The room was spacious with a super comfy king-size bed, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like complimentary water. Dinner was exceptional, featuring delightful dishes prepared with fresh local ingredients, and breakfast truly lived up to the hype with a great variety. The welcoming atmosphere made me feel right at home, and it was great fun mingling with the friendly locals in the bar. If I had to suggest an improvement, I would love to see an expanded dessert menu!

Ideal for food lovers

Dinner was an absolute highlight. The pork dish was amazing, just amazing, couldn’t believe how well it was cooked.

Not exactly cheap, but worth it.

Great food and comfy stay!

Had a lovely one-night stay. The room was super clean and comfy, bigger than we thought! Dinner was delish, I had the steak pie and it was served hot. Breakfast the next day was a full English – yum! Only wish there’d been more parking spots, had to squeeze in a bit.

We had a lovely stay with a warm meal and a comfy bed that made us feel right at home. The garden area is perfect for unwinding with some outdoor seating and a beautiful view. Just a heads up, the room lacked a second chair, but that didn't put a damper on our experience. 😊

Great food and comfy room. missed having pets welcomed. Nice bar area!
