Award-winning B&B in a Grade II Listed 17th-century barn in Somerset
Historic Barn Conversion
The Old Stables Bed & Breakfast occupies a restored 17th-century Grade II Listed barn in Shepton Mallet. The building retains its original character with beamed ceilings and stone walls throughout the communal areas. This award-winning conversion offers a countryside retreat with direct access to the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Rooms & Amenities
Each room is individually decorated and includes a super king-size bed, luxury cotton linens, and high-quality toiletries. The Granary room features a roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower with garden views. Guests also receive homemade shortbread replenished daily, a fridge with fresh milk, and a choice of proper tea bags and freshly ground coffee.
Homemade Breakfast
Breakfast is served each morning in the dining room with a wood-burning stove and includes a full English with home-cured bacon and sausages. Guests can order fresh pastries baked by the host, homemade granola, and scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. All ingredients are locally sourced, and the breakfast menu offers continental, à la carte, and vegetarian options.
Dog-Friendly Facilities
Dogs receive a welcome basket with treats, bowls, a blanket, and a drinking bottle at check-in. A large secure paddock with a ball thrower and tennis balls is available for off-lead exercise. The hotel also offers a breakfast sausage for dogs and provides dog tags with the B&B contact details for safety.
Location & Local Guidance
The B&B is 5 minutes from a major road yet set in a quiet lane, with the Poachers Pocket pub a short walk at the end of the drive. The hosts provide detailed recommendations for nearby attractions such as the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath, Cheddar Gorge, and Longleat Safari Park. Guests also benefit from free on-site parking and electric vehicle charging.
