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.
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
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.
Meet by Tony on arrival and we could book in early. Took our dinner choice and showed us up to our room. Room was family room which was large and spacious. The room was clean with bath and separate shower. Dinner was very tasty especially the dessert. As we were on ghost hunt at the prison, getting back at 0300 was no problem. Breakfast was just as hood as dinner . Would book again.
Great little getaway. We came from Cardiff and Tony was very nice, lovely cooked breakfast, very comfy bed, amazing free standing bath that completely relaxed us. Felt totally refreshed. If we're ever in the area will definitely be back. Highly recommend!
Just arrived and met buy the owner and he seems very nice. You have to pre order your evening meal so it will be ready for when you have booked your table.
We had a great meal the food was great
I have seen some reviews that state the host is unhelpful but we have found the owner could not be more helpful also he has a great dog
We had the full English breakfast and that was also great
My wife says she does not like the room as it feels creepy but I think its very good
It is only a four minute walk the the prison in Shepton Mallet
To the town is only a five min walk but get there before 3 as almost all of the shops where closed
Had a great time with my family.
We couldn't of felt more welcome at the dust hole.
The food was amazing breakfast was included with the room and dinner was pre booked for the evening which worked well for us. The food was seriously good.
The bar in the evening was very nice with a good atmosphere with an open fire and people playing boardgames and chatting away.
Super close to shepton mallet prison so if your doing anything there at night really easy and close to get back to your room.
Thanks Tony for a great time at the dust hole and we will hopefully see you again soon
Really nice old country pub/hotel. Great landlord.
Wonderful place full of antiques and a very friendly owner who is also a very good cook
The photos do not do this place justice, this is an incredibly quirky building filled with artifacts and nik naks from around the world. We were a group of 4 staying at the Dusthole for a Christmas works do. Tony and Neil made us feel so comfortable, we felt so welcome. Tony went out of his way to cook us bespoke meals and chat to us about the local area and history. The food was great and the beds were incredibly comfy. We would definitely come back again.
