Stones, Minehead

E TA left this review about Stones

Originally The York, this downmarket corner hotel does B&B as an alternative to Butlins. There is a large paved seating area at the front from which to enjoy views of the delivery vans and other traffic fighting its way through the busy town centre. Inside, the downstairs rooms have been opened out to form a single large bar with several TV screens, various chesterfield and other seating huddles, gaming machines and a gas fire in a brick chimney. At one end is a pool table, the other a pizza servery. There are a couple of bar stools at the counter, though this wasn’t a very comfortable place to sit due to constant interruption from grumpy staff and entitled customers haranguing them. There was no real ale – the keg options were Guinness, Estrella, five from Thatcher’s, John Smith’s, Carlsberg and Korev. Dull pop music was being played far too loud, a cacophonic counter to the screaming baby about twenty feet from us. It’s expensive for the area, so I’d avoid if possible.
