Bowlish House  

Good location if one wants to visit Wells and the cathedral.

There was a problem with the electricity so that not having the possibility to have dinner at the hotel. Didn't find the hotel cosy and attractive.

The food, both diner & breakfast, was excellent.

The hotel is in a Georgian building and the hotel style is traditional and comfortable. The ensuite bathroom in our room (large shower rather than bath) was modern and everything worked. The food was good, nice quality and not over-elaborate. The staff and the service were excellent. Good value for money, We would use it again.

The public areas were a bit on the gloomy side.

Friendliness, full of character and excellent food. The hotel was very clean and in keeping with its period of Georgian. Quite and delightful spot with gardens. The reception on arrival was second to none and the staff attentive at all times. Would thoroughly recommend for business trips or holidays.

Car parking opposite side of the road and creaky floorboards, but, both was in keeping with the property.

i stayed at bowlish house for two nights with my two teenage children in the family room. the room itself was very comfortable and the ensuite shower room was of a good size which was an added bonus. it was all very clean and comfortable. the manager was very welcoming and helpful. included in the price was a continental breakfast which was supurb value. there was plenty of choice and i would highly recomend the fresh fruit platter and the freshly baked coissants.all in all it was great value and i would definately pay a return visit.

Very relaxing, staff really wanted to help and very acommodating.

I decided to book with you because you were situated well away from traffic. My wife cannot sleep if she can hear road traffic. It turned out to be perfectly quiet and neither of us heard a sound all night. I was also pleased you gave table service at breakfast, I do not like self service it's too hectic first thing in the morning.

If you must have a complaint the only thing that I can think of is that the bathroom door jammed on the carpet which was a bit annoying. This was compensated for by having a beautiful garden. One other thing if I have to be picky is that I would have liked a snack about 7pm but I did not find the dining menu until the following morning on the hall table. Could I suggest this could be placed in the bedroom.

It was a different style of accomodation and was very relaxed and friendly. Loads of history to the building.

The squeeky floors were a bit much, but it is a very old building.

A lovely period property with great food, fabulous food and friendly staff I would recommend Bowlish House if you are looking for a relaxing retreat that feels like home. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived and would happily return if we visit the area again. The limited head room we were warned about in the family room was no problem for my partner who is south of 6 feet tall and the en-suite was a good size, it was also immaculately clean which is more than I can say about some places I have stayed in. A great find!

The comfortable large room, bags of character and this come with the problems of old historic buildings. Nevertheless clean and tidy. Gfm as very well furnished. Easy access to Wells. Used for an overnight stop when traveling to Cornwall.

Cooked breakfast has a surcharge and was not good value for £7.00 but given the room is very competative rate, the combined factors represent vfm. It is in Shepton Mallet! When the restaurant is not open on a Sunday you need to drive to Wells.

The staff were personable, helpful, accomodating and made us feel very welcome. We had the four poster room which was lovely, we were told during our stay that this room was about to be restored which we look forward to see on our next trip to the Glastonbury Festival. On the strength of the presentation of the breakfast we would very much like to see the quality of the food on the evening menu.

Very convenient for Wells and the surrounding area or as a stop off on your way to the South West. Staff very helpful , quiet location and a really good breakfast.
