We had a lovely time staying here. The room was large and comfortable. It was too cold to use the balcony but we enjoyed the view. The fresh berries, yogurt and granola made a tasty breakfast.

The Sheppey Inn is quirky and I should imagine that when it first opened it was quite novel. However, now it is looking a bit tired, the stairs carpet need a good clean, I do understand that it is a walking area but the first 4-5 steps are grubby. The room could also use a deep clean, for example the TV screen was smeary, vase was dusty/dirty and the cotton wool container was the same. The breakfast was a bit lacklustre and definitely not continental, couple of boxed mueslis, yoghurt and fruit (banana and apple's). If a breakfast can't be served then maybe offer some pastries. The room could also do with a few items to make it a bit easier to stay, hooks for coats, and towels in the bathroom. Chest of drawers for pants / socks etc. The bed was lovely and comfortable and the balcony was lovely in the morning. The surrounding countryside beautiful.

Lovely pub with excellent food.
Lovely place, great pub with interesting menu. The room was great, clean very easy to check in etc. Very cool place. Would stay again. Only issues: 1 parking is limited / on the road. 2 We had a balcony room. This was great in the morning but it’s directly above the pub decking - not particularly private, and so you get smoke and noise until the pub shuts. Next time I wouldn’t bother with paying extra for this.

Fab venue. I give 5* to the kitchen they served up a fabulous dinner. I am still raving about it. If someone asks me for a recommendation to stay when visiting Glastonbury then it has to be The Sheppey. I'm going back when the live music starts up. This place rocks!

Fantastic stay!
Absolutely loved every moment of our stay at The Sheppey - room was fabulous. Loved the drinks server on the balcony - such a novel touch! The views across the garden were fantastic and the room was clean, spacious and bed very comfortable! Loved the large shower as well and the quirky decor. The food in the restaurant was really tasty and a really good, unique selection of dishes. The manager was great as well, very attentive, friendly and chatty. Literally can’t fault it. Thank you so much!

Awesome!
The Sheppey was a last minute decision for a day trip within the area. At first the location can appear daunting and far from civilization, and the building was not at best appealing. However there was a warm welcome and all the staff were helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Being situated in a pub meant that the noise levels on the first night were high due to themed evenings which are arranged weekly. This did not last past 11pm, and was not at all an issue for us, but could be for others. The food at The Sheppey was inventive and very tasty, if not a little pricey. This could be overlooked when realising everything is sourced within the local area and the creativeness is inspiring. The room was extremely spacious and included everything a weary traveller could need and more. The room and pub are decorated in such a creative and artistic way that most would not dream of experimenting, however it worked. The only suggestion would be to increase lighting in the bedrooms. Overall, our stay was 10/10. We were comfortable and well fed. The addition of breakfast in the room made a nice touch meaning we could roll out of bed without rushing downstairs to catch usual breakfast times.
