This is a wonderful hotel. The room was large and luxurious. The owners were warm and welcoming. The evening meal was simple but very tasty and the breakfast was excellent. We would definitely stay here again, only for longer next time.

Morag Netherlands

Such a warm welcome was had by Billy & Ellen. They obviously love what they do and to such high standards. I would happily recommend Cross Lane House.

Amanda United Kingdom

Splendid hotel, friendly staff, excellent breakfast. Location ideal ... just a few yards from the South West Coastal Path plus many forest and hillside routes.

Dennis United Kingdom

Steeped in history, really comfortable and spotlessly clean. Billy and Ellen have put their hearts and souls into providing a warm, relaxed haven. Their restaurant isn’t currently open on a Sunday evening, but if breakfast is anything to go by, I am sure it would be a treat in itself. Our rooms were very comfortable, providing a relaxed night stop on our way to Cornwall.

Paul United Kingdom

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Billy was the perfect host and Ellen produced delicious breakfasts. The bed was very comfortable and we had a shower and huge bath in our en-suite. Perfect stay.

Jo United Kingdom

Blown away by this adorable little hotel. So lovingly run. No effort too great. Exquisite touches everywhere... lovely cut flowers, beautiful hand soap. Really luxurious. Beautiful, sumptuous, well stocked ba. Lovely dining room. Fab food. Awesome location for exploring Quantocks. Especially wonderful for walking.
