Under new management, Watersmeet is in the process of an update and the host and staff went out of their way to make sure that guests are made to feel welcome and that requests are processed promptly. Guests comment that the food served at the Watersmeet Restaurant is fresh and well-prepared and that they enjoyed sampling local ales and conversing with the cordial barkeep.
Several guests remark that the accommodation was a disappointment. The rooms are described as small and a lack of cleanliness is a concern. Guests noted over-flowing ashtrays beside the entrance, worn rugs, and stains in the shower.
Some guests note that when they arrived, the inn was cloaked in darkness and that they needed to retrieve a key for their room from the bar. Hallways were drab and dark and the rooms smaller than anticipated. Guests note Watersmeet will do in a pinch, but that refurbishing is in order.
Guests report Watersmeet presents an county inviting location and the staff is attentive and accommodating, noting that the restaurant and pub, a favourite gathering place for locals, offers tasty meals and craft ales, however the rooms require attention and the venue is a bit "tired and tacky."
