Halfway House Inn Country Lodge

Stayed there for a long weekend as my wife and I attended a reunion in Yeovil. Great place with friendly and helpful staff. Food for the evening meals was excellent and the portions were more than plentyful as was the breakfasts. I had the traditional and my wife had the vegetarian. Our hotel room was spot on, warm and comfortable to sleep in with a en suite with bath and shower. Highly recommend however please be aware it is in Chilthourne and taxis to and from Yeovil where around £25 each way.

Staff were amazing but the food was out of this world. Lovely fishing lake out the back and beer garden. Room was clean and tidy with a fridge and nice biscuits. Breakfast was good and plentiful. It has new owners who are very welcoming. I will go back if in the area.

Lovely lake round the back Very friendly staff and amazing food! If you are looking for a pet friendly place this is the place to stay! Clean rooms and comfy beds Selection of biscuits, tea, coffee and hot chocolate and bottled water We will definitely be returning

My experience was very poor. Broken and missing handles on the windows, bland and tasteless Thai pub food, loud traffic noise and the worst mattress I have ever experienced. The thick iron springs could be felt through the mattress and a good nights sleep was impossible. The cooked breakfast was OK but the quality of the bread, marmalade ‘paste’ and general cleanliness around the breakfast area was pretty grim. A plastic table cloth and hot water from an urn to make tea made the overall experience pretty awful. The room I stayed in should be NOT be offered to guests until the window and mattress are replaced as an absolute minimum standard. If the owners feel this review is harsh, I seriously suggest they try to sleep in this room themselves and then they will understand. I stay around this area every month and this is, by far, the worst stay I have experienced.

Went with friends, for lunch. Sadly, food was only mediocre. I asked for vegetarian option, only to asked if I'd ordered it. Didn't think, in this day & age, one had to. Luckily, I was provided with a shop brought 'tart'. The veg. was undercooked & verging on cold. Service dubious. Being called 'You guys' by the server, a little dubious. Ambiance could have been improved by fresh flowers on the table. Dining room itself more like a barn, festooned with plastic plants pretending to be evergreens. The pudding was lovely - the one saving grace. Sadly won't be returning nor recommending.

Despite us living only 10 minutes from here, we went for dinner tonight. We were not disappointed. Friendly, welcoming staff and amazing food! We ordered the all day breakfast and the lasagne, both were delicious! The owner/chef (Paul?) even came to ask if everything was ok. We will definitely return, in fact have already booked for Sunday carvery in a few weeks. Definitely recommend!

Excellent place to stay , staff very welcoming and friendly. Room very clean everything you need . Food excellent. Very local for everything, it feels to be near road when you arrive but as rooms at the back of hotel you can not hear it. I’m just sat listening to the birds singing looking at sun rising over lake. Perfect start to my day.

Decided to join husband on a work trip and what an amazing few days we had here. Food is just delicious, everything homemade including bread for my morning toast and portions are not for the faint hearted! Every single member of staff bent over backwards to make sure we were looked after. Nothing, and I mean nothing is too much trouble and the internet speeds were better than my actual home. And free! What a gem of a place. Hopefully be back soon. Thank you to all of you who looked after us and made us feel so welcome and looked after.

We held my husband's surprise birthday party in their lovely function room. Steve and his team bent over backwards to make it run smoothly. The food was great and I would certainly recommend the Halfway House if you are looking for a venue for a party.
