Adults-only boutique inn on the Somerset Levels
Dining
The on-site restaurant serves British cuisine with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, including a jackfruit 'fish and chips' and Coeliac-safe roast with homemade Yorkshire pudding. Breakfast is left in each room - fresh berries, yogurt, muesli, orange juice, and milk - replenished daily. The bar offers self-serve local scrumpy ciders from Wilkins and Hecks, along with craft ales and alcohol-free cocktails.
Rooms
Each of the 3 Deluxe Double Rooms includes a private bathroom with a walk-in shower or freestanding bath, soundproof walls, and a balcony overlooking the River Sheppey. Rooms are stocked with a fridge containing cereal, fresh fruit, yogurt, milk, and juice, plus tea-and-coffee-making facilities. The quirky decor features vintage toys and handpicked ornaments, while some rooms have a separate kitchenette with a kettle and mini-fridge.
Entertainment
Regular themed nights and live music (DJ sets or singer-songwriters) create a lively evening atmosphere in the bar. The pub hosts events like duck racing on the adjacent stream and has a dart board for guest use. A large riverside veranda with seating along the rhyne offers an outdoor space for drinks and dinner.
Location
The Sheppey Inn lies 11 km from Wells Cathedral and Wookey Hole Caves, 16 km from Cheddar Gorge Caves, and 30 km from Bristol Airport.
