Sparkford Inn

The food was absolutely terrible. Steak was just gristle the one plate. The steak on the other order was the same. Egg burnt. Sausage burnt. Small portions. Gammon undercooked. Not what a chef should be serving. Never again will we attend this venue.

Stayed one night, which was one too many. The only had two staff on, front of house and chef. Chef was nice, front of house no so. On check in I was told there was no breakfast included and if I wanted some, McDonands was up the road. No instructions given about overnight arrangements, that I found out later (from the chef) was that the was no one on site - and as there was no phone number, etc provided, not sure what you do if anything goes wrong! Front of house cashed up at 10:15 and as such refused to serve us another drink when we asked, and despite offering cash and to pay extra, would not budge - the Inn advertise its opening time until 11:00 - not with that member of staff. So felt like we were being send to bed at 10:15 like naught boys. The room - windows are from the last century and don’t close properly, there is no desk to work at, or s chair to sit on - so had to work sat on the bed. Sink it too small to wet-shave and the toilet masticator makes a noise every few minutes - all night. Would I stay here again - no chance!

Comfy beds, travel kettle that you could barely fit in sink to fill, scalding shower even on number 2 so we had to run on cold settings to avoid injuries. Lack of blackout curtains meant being woken at 5am. Daily housing keeping listed didn't happen.

Good place to stop for me mid journey . Budget accommodation but adequate. Staff were friendly and helpful. Disappointed that they do not open their restaurant for breakfast so had to stop further along at a cafe. Evening restaurant menu was pub dare but good food reasonably priced if not the largest of portions (chicken tika) . My room was at the front of the building near to the road so quite a lot of traffic noise even at night and single glazed sash windows didn't stop any noise at all.

Awful. This is a great example of terrible pub food. Couldn't find a piece of chicken in a pie or mushroom, for that matter. Seriously, if you are hungry, go to the garage up the road and buy a snickers and a bag of crisps.....it will be much more enjoyable, I promise you.

This is a lovely friendly pub. Rooms clean and comfortable. The landlady was very welcoming. They have only had the pub a few months and she did appear to be short staffed at times but managed well and was super friendly and honest about this. Rooms a bit short on tea and coffee making supplies but nothing else to complain about and they did attempt to rectify this. Rooms accessible for elderly parents. Both Father and Husband had a fabulous trip to Haynes Motor Museum which is just up the road! Great access from A303 if breaking up a trip.
