About The Five Dials Inn

The Five Dials Inn has the feel of a traditional coaching inn, its bar and restaurant forming the heart of the building on Hanning Road in Ilminster. Rooms are en-suite and come with drinks provided, giving the place a straightforward, no-fuss comfort that suits travellers passing through Somerset as much as those settling in for a longer stay.

Breakfast is served on site, and packed lunches can be arranged for anyone heading out to explore during the day. The restaurant and bar operate as the main gathering points, with further pubs and eateries nearby for those who fancy a change of scene. A garden offers a spot to sit outside, and free WiFi and luggage storage cover the practical side of things.

Free on-site parking makes the inn an easy base for driving out into the Blackdown Hills or around Somerset's wider attractions, with Ilminster itself within easy reach on foot.
