15th-century coaching inn with free breakfast and historical charm

Accommodations & Historical Charm

The Sparkford Inn is a 15th-century coaching inn located in the centre of Sparkford village. The hotel provides 11 en-suite rooms, including family suites and deluxe double rooms, with private bathrooms and tea-making facilities. Guestrooms in the main building retain original period features, such as sash windows and uneven floors, while annex rooms offer additional privacy.

Dining

The on-site restaurant serves home-cooked evening meals prepared with fresh ingredients and accommodates various dietary needs. A free full breakfast is offered daily, though the pub does not open for breakfast service - guests are directed to nearby McDonald's. Two bars on the property serve a range of drinks, including real ale, wine, and champagne, with a lunch deal providing good value.

Location

The inn sits on the A303 between Wincanton and Yeovil, 0.7 miles from Haynes International Motor Museum. Nearby attractions include Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton and Cadbury Castle hillfort. Yeovil is 8.5 miles away, Taunton 35.3 miles, and Bristol Airport 33.4 miles, making it a convenient stop for travelers crossing the southwest.

Amenities & Recreation

The hotel has a games room with billiards, darts, and a pool table for guest entertainment. A well-maintained outdoor garden provides seating areas, and ample free parking is available on site. Meeting and banquet facilities are offered for private events, and the property includes a designated smoking area.

Family & Events

Families can book family suites with two beds and extra space, and kids' meals are available on the restaurant menu. The Sparkford Inn is a family-friendly wedding venue that offers personalized attention for celebrations. A children's menu and high chairs are provided, though no specific kids' club or supervised activities are offered.
