The Holywell Inn dates back before 17th century but it is reputed that a pub, maybe parts of the present building, had stood on the site since the 14th Century. There is certainly still evidence of the original straw thatched roof built on old cobb (mud&straw) walls with old oak beams.

The Holywell Inn can be found in the village of Holywell Lake 3 miles South of Wellington in Somerset, near the border of Devon and less than a mile from the A38 at Beambridge.

We have an ideal position for country walks, so you may wish to either drive and use us as a base for your walking, or on a pleasant day maybe try a lovely walk from Wellington.

The main bar has heavy oak beams, an open fireplace and country pictures on the walls.

We're in it

The inn is a free-house, and for those who enjoy good ale, there are well kept Westcountry beers from local brewers such as Cotleigh and Exmoor Ales on hand-pump, in addition to guest beers. We have a varied fare of home-prepared food made from locally sourced produce.

For Lunchtime our Lunch Menu has a wide range of food from baguettes and Ploughman's to tasty, hot, home-prepared meals. Our Evening Menu has a much larger range of hot meals plus we always have a few chef's specials on the blackboard. Also check out out very popular two for one Steak Night every Thursday.

For Sunday lunch we have our very popular carvery where there is a choice of three roasts, normally Beef, Pork and Turkey along with a huge range of roasted/boiled vegetables. There is also our famous range of vegetables in sauces these are much liked by vegetarians but why not try some with your roast... many do.

We have a large garden to the rear, with plenty of tables, where nice cool drinks and food can be served in the summer months.

There is ample car parking for customers. Families are welcome but young children are restricted to the top dining area or the function room. Well behaved dogs are welcome all lunchtimes but in the evening, but please, only once meals have been finished.
