A lovely old traditional coaching inn located in the heart of the historic village of Mells. This multi room pub features a main bar situated in the main building with a 'sitting room' in the adjoining old barn. Look out for the superb old courtyard.

Classic pub food is served in the main dining room, while snacks are served in the bar. In summer the 'Grill Room', across the courtyard, is open.

There is a lovely walled garden to the left of the main building and upstairs there are 8 upmarket bedrooms. Breakfast served 8-10, seven days a week.

Part of a small group of pub hotels which includes the Bath Arms in Horningsham.

Included in the The Times “45 best summer pubs for summer” in July 2023 and "27 of the cosiest places to stay in the UK this winter” in winter 2024.
