Halfway House Inn Country Lodge

3rd stay here- we love it. Downstairs rooms available (we specifically asked for one) otherwise up a flight of stairs, large car park, beautiful fenced off lake to walk around and seating. staff are so friendly and helpful. Fridge, fan & kettle in the room, water and biscuits there on arrival along with tea, coffee & hot chocolate. Comfy beds, amazing meals in the evening, lots of choice, brilliant portion size. So friendly with our child age 7, the chef came out every night to say hello & even offered our daughter a meal that wasn’t on the menu! 40 minutes from Longleat, 20 minutes from Barrington Court national trust house & gardens.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly in the dining room where they were very willing to shift furniture around to accommodate our large group. Staff lovely in the bar area too - lots of room for us plus children and grandchildren and good bar snacks. Overall the hospitality was excellent.

The Halfway House Inn is perfectly positioned for easy access to the surrounding area and attractions (National Trust, Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovil, Sherborne, etc). The breakfasts are super, there is a slight DIY element to tea/coffee/toast which is not be a problem and helps to cut down on waste. Our room was a 'lodge' outside of the main building with direct access to the car park. Pretty much everything you could need in the room including a fridge. The current owners are currently in the process of a phased renovation and redecoration project, so things can only get even better.

Very clean,well appointed room with ample towels,soap, shower gels and a welcome variety of hot drinks (wife liked the latte sachets) and good quality biscuits. Easy to use shower with hot water readily available. Excellent choice of food for breakfast. Cooking was was excellent; service was with a smile. We were made to feel very welcome.

My partner, our dog Vicky and I loved our stay here. Our toom was one of those out the the back and ideal for us with our dog, so we literally had steps to get to the walk around the lake. Our room was comfortable and I loved the bar area that they had refurnished and updated in their time there and was really comfortable to have a drink or a coffee. Being dog friendly was a big must for us and your fur babies are made as welcome as you. I also loved the dog gift box you can buy as a gift or as a treat for your fur baby, which consists of a tennis ball, poo bags, collapsable dog bowl and a small blanket and comes in a good quality gift box. The food is delicious and lots of choice and you won't go away hungry and don't forget to leave room for breakfast where you have lots of choice and be well set up for the day . Our dog enjoyed her stay as much as us and cannot wait for us to go back.
