The Tynte Arms Inn - Sedgemoor

I was so thankful to this couple. I called them Thursday to see if they had availability in their accommodation for that weekend (I was travelling to a glamping site to spend the weekend on a hen do… and found out I was pregnant : l . Thankfully Peter the landlord, and his lovely wife, were very accommodating and sorted me out with a last minute place to stay, giving me some respite from the drunken hens lol. They even done me a deal on my 2 night stay, which was lovely of them. The accommodation is basic, but warm, inviting, comfortable, and very clean. It had everything I needed for a weekend stay. I was a bit apprehensive at the thought of coming back and fore in the dark on my own, but was soon put at ease, and they took great care of me. Peter even called me Saturday morning to check how my stay went and if I needed anything. I also noticed my room was also cleaned again on my return Saturday afternoon, which was a nice touch. The room had a TV, coffee and tea station, wardrobe with hangers, lots of space, and a lovely sized bathroom. I was very pleased with my stay, and on speaking with my husband when I arrived back in sunny Wales I think we will be visiting again :

Called in by chance after some hill walking. A very traditional setting with a very laid back atmosphere. The owners and staff were delightful. The food was excellent. Proper home cooked food prepared with love as if they were eating it for themselves. The portion size was bang on and brilliantly priced. Will definitely return.

My friend and I have cycled to the pub a few times for lunch now and the landlord is very welcoming and food is delicious

Visited today with two friends, I can honestly say that this was probably the worst Sunday lunch I have ever had. The chicken was on the bone and looked like it had been boiled, so I asked if I could have pork instead. The veg was microwaved to death and tasted funky. The desert, well what can I say, none of us could eat this either. The landlord was so rude, making digs that because we were smokers, this was the reason we could not eat their food. He was asked to stop but didn’t. How they are still in business is beyond me. AWFUL PLACE

Before reading on, please bear in mind: It turns out that our experience wasn 't unique, so yours probably won 't be either... Having left Minehead in biblical levels of flooding, me, my wife, and our infant daughter made our way over the moors in challenging conditions and found ourselves in desperate need of sustenance and warmth. Driving through Enmore, we spied the glowing windows of a village inn, The Tynte Arms. With relief at the prospect of a warm and dry setting in which to take lunch, we pulled into the car park and then made our way across the road, huddled beneath a too small umbrella, and entered The Tynte Arms. First impressions were of a very traditional pub that was some years past a needed refurbishment but, partial to the charms of a old fashioned hostelry, I thought this was likely an aesthetic that worked for the establishment and took it in my stride (along with the musty aroma). However, I then noticed that the clientele had all the diversity of a Conservative Party Conference and were of an age bracket that made one think they 'd happened upon the early bird sitting of a Saga cruise ship 's canteen. Nonetheless, we made our way to the bar, where we stood for some time before being greeted by the landlord. Why the quotation marks? , I hear you question, dear reader. Well, greeted is a rather generous term for a person walking into your eyeline and looking at you as though you 've just taken a dump in their porch. Especially when that person 's sole objective is to be hospitable. Eventually, we gave in and broke the awkward silence by asking if we could order food. No, replied the landlord, we 're fully booked . Okay. , said we, glancing (confused) around the half full premises with no reservation cards in sight, Can you recommend anywhere else, nearby? It was at this point, unknown to him, that this landlord likely delivered his best service by recommending the Enmore Inn, found further along the road toward Bridgwater. Oh he also let us have a wee, which was very gracious. In summary, visit The Tynte Arms if you 're: 1) Out on a Hot Fuzz themed weekend: You can drop in here for a real flavour of Sandford 's Crown pub and be told to ****** off for the greater good . 2) In need of another way to highlight the exceptional service offered a mile down the road, simply pop in here and the landlord will oblige by raising any other publican 's standards of service to god like in comparison. 3) A masochist with a penchant for awful hospitality and dated decor.
