About Relaxinnz The Highwayman Inn

Relaxinnz The Highwayman Inn is a traditional coaching-style pub hotel at Cannards Grave, on the edge of Shepton Mallet in Somerset. With just 14 rooms, it has the feel of a proper local inn rather than a large hotel, built around a bar and restaurant that give it a lived-in, sociable character.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and in-room drinks, and breakfast is served each morning alongside a wider restaurant menu that includes kids' meals. There's a garden and outdoor seating for warmer days, a bar for evening drinks, and meeting rooms for anyone travelling on business. Free on-site parking and luggage storage make it a straightforward stopover as well as a base for longer stays, and free WiFi covers the practical side of things.

The inn sits within reach of golf courses, pubs, restaurants and other eateries nearby, along with local entertainment options, making it a convenient spot for exploring Shepton Mallet and the surrounding Somerset countryside. It's a no-frills base that covers the essentials of food, drink and a bed for the night.
