We recently stayed in this delightful pub in the quaint village as we were meeting up with relatives in nearby Cricket St Thomas. Although the pub itself was closed in the afternoon we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and taken to our rooms where nothing was too much trouble. Of the four rooms the pub has to offer, our party...

We live locally and regularly use the pub for informal suppers and for entertaining friends and clients. Everyone we have sent to stay there has enjoyed themselves and all speak highly of the breakfast and the rooms. Many other pubs in the area are either overpriced gastropubs or dismal dives; this one is everything you would expect from a Somerset... More

Is a lovely local 'village' pub located in the pretty Somerset village of Dowlish Wake with the famous Perry's Cider Mill just around the corner, if you catch it just right, you can even watch them crushing the apples and making the cider. Back to the New Inn. We dropped in for lunch whilst out and about. It is run... More

Stumbled across the New Inn after visiting Perry's Cider Mills. We were made to feel very welcome by the friendly staff and owner. Food was good and well priced, we will certainly be making a return visit and may even stay next time.

The pub is very welcoming and the atmosphere is relaxed. We were greeted with a friendly smile and escorted to our room. The rooms are located directly outside of the pub at the rear of the property overlooking the pub garden. I was pleased with the room, it had everything you could need; a comfortable bed, a tv and storage... More
