“Stepping into The Sheppey Inn felt like a proper countryside escape, a quiet retreat that thoughtfully curated the room with little touches - books, games, and even breakfast staples - that made it feel cared for. The balcony view over the Sheppey River, with Glastonbury Tor in the distance, was a pleasant surprise, and while the pub food comes with a certain price, its local sourcing and quality certainly make a case for it.”
