The Holywell Inn - Taunton Deane

We have been frequenting this pub for many years, but after moving away, we decided to make a special trip back and were not disappointed. The owners have recently added a beautiful self-contained holiday let called the "Snuggery" in the old part of the pub. Vic and Paulette, the owners, gave us a warm welcome and showed us to our room, which included a lounge, kitchen, and a lovely bedroom with an en suite bathroom. We were then invited to the bar where we caught up over drinks before enjoying a delicious meal. Both my partner and I ordered the steak and ale pie with perfectly cooked vegetables and crispy chips. We ended the meal with sticky toffee pudding for him and cheesecake for me. The service was friendly and attentive, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. After a few more drinks, we retired to our room for a restful night's sleep and woke up to a cozy log fire and a freshly cooked breakfast in the morning. Needless to say, we did not want to leave!

I stopped by on Friday, August 11th, 2019 for a meal. The owner was very hospitable and the food was delicious. I would consider this restaurant to be one of the top options in the area. The only downside was that they only offered bottled beer, although it was a selection of good local ales. I will definitely be coming back.

Just called in on Fri 8/11/19 for a meal. the landlord was very accommodating and the food was to die for. I would rate this establishment as one of the best in the area. The only drawback was they only served bottled ale (although it was good local ales). will definitely be returning.

That is for those who are not, a hidden gem. when they get it from outside, it looks like a normal average village pub. at the arrival in a beautiful warm welcoming place. its all except the way it is decorated with all bits and benches and the lighting it turns the place into a cozy atmosphere. the staff is very pleasant and eating and drinking is very good. I recommend you book a table in advance, as it is a very popular place. if they are in the opposite and have some time on their hands, it is good to book a table, there are not many places like these around, I hope they will be surprised how we were when we were in this beautiful place, it makes to be a beautiful evening, I am sure that they will all enjoy, I hope my review has helped them if they like it, please give it up.
