Very good staff who looked after us well. A very comfortable spacious room and bed with a great view facing the hillside.
A very good meal in the evening and an extremely tasty breakfast - it couldn't have been better value for money!

We enjoyed every minute in this well appointed B&B. The gardens are lovely, and our room on the ground floor was unique and very comfortable. It included a king size bed and a free standing bath tub and separate shower. There is a hot tub on the property and outdoor areas to relax. The owner prepares an amazing breakfast to order. This is one of the nicest places we have stayed during our travels.

The atmosphere of this place is really cool, lively bar and love the quirky features in the rooms. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and breakfast in the morning was delicious and very good quality, loved that you could choose how you wanted your eggs. Despite the lively atmosphere downstairs in the evening, my room was peaceful and couldn't hear downstairs at all. Check in and check out were both easy and appreciated that the invoice for my trip was emailed to me straight away saving me from chasing up afterwards. My room had a beautiful bathroom with lovely bathtub and shower. Bed was huge and mattress very comfy but the pillows were quite hard.

It was a perfect place for some rnr whilst visiting friends in Somerset. A lovely old building that had once been a Mill. The grounds were lovely, a stream, lake daffodils and a peacock and peahen made it so very welcoming. The owner and I chatted a lot and I was made to feel extremely welcome. I slept well and comfortably. I only needed a light evening meal which they were happy to do and lovely cooked breakfast in the morning before heading off. I would recommend Hornsbury

Well not so much ilminster itself as a head to place but the area in General has much to offer and not just Meusems or Churches
We visited Cheddar Gorge and other nearbye Towns and seaside Villages, visiting some Great Brocant's where it's hard to say no to that additional piece of clutter.

We chose Ilminster as it was fairly close to the M5 but not too far from Lyme Regis, where we were visiting the following day. We didn't spend time in Ilminster, just used the hotel as a overnight stop, but it looked characterful and was a great location to other attractions, including Lyme Regis.

Lovely central location so you can go to Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Sidmouth, Taunton and Wells in approximately an hour or under. Ilminster is a small town, with a large Tesco and other small shops for all you needs. Friendly locals and plenty of places to visit for all the family. Highly recommended for a perfect getaway.

Ilminster is quite a small place, but has some nice pubs and restaurants, and there is beautiful countryside around it. Close to Yeovil and Glastonbury, less than one hour drive from Exeter, and some nice National Trust places close by to visit.

It included a king size bed and a free standing bath tub and separate shower. There is a hot tub on the property and outdoor areas to relax. The owner prepares an amazing breakfast to order. This is one of the nicest places we have stayed during our travels.
I liked my room which was very comfortable and had a large television and good wifi. The breakfast was excellent and the dinner the night before was first class.The dining room was warm and cosy and Christmassy. The service from the staff was great. I believe that the view from the hotel is beautiful and it is close to Ilminster which is a delightful little town.
Lovely location and excellent host. Had breakfast and evening meals and food and service were very good .
Room had large comfortable bed and facilities were very good with both bath and separate shower .
What more can we say .. would recommend The Flying Fish for anyone who wants a good value stay in lovely south Somerset countryside.
The location was good, not far from the M5 and Ilminster had some good pubs.
The Breakfast was good although the cooked items were left on a hot plate for quite a long time. Because we were booked on a 2 day course we had a 3 course lunch each day (which was good home cooking type food) and home made cake in the afternoons.
Contrasting with "upmarket" chain hotels I've stayed in recently it was great - the TV was an ACTUAL smart TV which was NOT the case in a Voco or a holiday Inn express. The breakfast was excellent and the restaurant belonging to the property serves first class cuisine and reasonably priced
Very friendly pub which is always busy but you are guaranteed a friendly welcome.
Rooms are simple but very clean and comfortable.
The restaurant is similarly busy but you don’t mind when the food is as good as this!
Already looking forward to my next trip down to Somerset!
Fair location for exploring the surrounding area. Easy to find. Plenty of parking available. Bed was comfortable. Good tea/coffee facilities available. Option to add breakfast when we checked in (we didn’t) and told about evening meal if we wanted it (we didn’t).
Really nice stay at this lovely hotel.
Lots of free parking and good links to the motorway.
My room was large clean and very comfortable and the walk in shower was a great addition.
Evening meal was excellent so was the breakfast.
A very nice stay indeed.
Lovely converted country cider barn. Nicely kitted out in all of the living areas with lots of kitchen stuff and plush cushions. Host is nice and friendly. Cute baby chicks in outbuilding!!
Hotel located in an exceptionally pretty village. Rooms were clean and comfortable, with great attention to detail. The bed was very comfortable. It was quiet and we slept well.
Ideal location for us and Katie and Simon are always welcoming. We visit Ilminster several times a year to see family and always like to stay at the Annexe if it's available.
Lots of space with all the facilities, very comfortable bed and plenty food in the fridge. Good location for travelling around Somerset and close to Ilminster.
