location - a quiet country hotel and very comfortable with good rooms - food though extaordinarily expensive Have stayed at this hotel for more ten years on a fairly regular basis but now do not like new pricing system eg separate prices for a Tuesday and Wednesday night; paying additionally for breakfast etc. Lack of a warm welcome from staff except for waitresses who were very good. |

We stayed in the bay room, which was fantastic! Such a huge room with kingsize bed, t.v, dvd, large bathroom with 'power' shower!!! loved the spiral staircase to get to the bathroom! Hotel staff were brilliant, very friendly. Views from the room were lovely and open! we didnt eat at the hotel, as the prices seemed quite expensive, although it was a good 8mile drive into taunton where we found mcdonalds, pizza places, and lots of little resturants. Overall a fantastic stay, we are hoping to book again soon!!! |

Idyllic front hotel bedroom with balcony. The high quality furnishing of the hotel throughout its setting and gardens. Excellent place. Felt there could have been a better choice for continental breakfast infact the poor choice was out of character with the hotel. The pricing confused us in that we missed noticing a surcharge for not taking the evening meal but this did not spoil our visit and we would gladly visit again. |

Very poor service-constantly asking for butter, milk, cutlery etc at breakfast time-overpriced as well, for what was presented! Our room had the original cobwebs above the windows-hadn't seen a duster in some time! |

the rooms were very nice. location was relaxing and a family run hotel and very friendly there was no where to go and eat other than the hotel.... there menu was over priced at 29 pounds per person so although the room was great value it catches you out with the food!!! |

Idyllic setting, lovely room, good food Very haphazard mealtime service from inexperienced and junior staff. Examples ......1) Chef turned up late for breakfast 2) Waiter service at dinner poor (forgot bread rolls, no butter etc) 3) Similar service at breakfast (asked for things, staff got distracted by other questions then forgot, delay taking orders etc. |

Staff were friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the food (but would have liked a few more vegetables). Good location in the heart of Somerset. |

When I booked it was advertised at £32 per night and in the small print to have to qualify for this dinner and breakfast had to be taken, at VERY HIGH costs. This I feel was rather excessive. Other than this it was an excellent choice. |

A very comfortable hotel with a calming atmosphere set in some lovely coutryside. The room was imaculate, as was the rest of the hotel,. Nice furniture, welcoming little bar with woodburner and delightful staff. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. |

The hotel was small and friendly. Our room was comfortable and well-furnished and had a lovely view of the garden. It was also easy to find, being well-signposted off the main road, and within easy driving distance of the main attractions in Somerset. |

Nice to have some country living. Not stuck in the same old bulk standard hotel rooms TV noise from room to room was terrible. If someone in the room next to you or above you has their TV on, don't expect a silent night. |
