I’ve stayed here before and it was good to see that the staff have continued to renovate and keep the same sense of customer service. Food was excellent, staff helpful and friendly. Despite it being the first day back post Covid-19 restrictions, there were only a few minor teething problems but were handled well by the team.

James United Kingdom

A lovely quiet place to stay and the staff were very helpful.

Charlotte United Kingdom

Very good breakfast served by a lovely lady. Good value evening meal. Comfortable, quiet room

Jennie United Kingdom

The staff were friendly and very helpful The location was so peaceful which made the stay very relaxing Food was spot on. Very clean and the rooms were massive

Paul United Kingdom

Loved the location of the property. Was near to Taunton but felt very rural.

Eileen United Kingdom

Great staff and room / bed. No music or radio in bar “due to Covid” which made it a little too quiet. In believe the Covid guideline is “no LOUD music” so they should consider bringing background music back in.

Antony United Kingdom

Room 5 was wonderful as it had a small sitting area and outside access for our dog. The breakfast and dinner were lovely, great service too.

Sara United Kingdom

Great room, friendly waiting staff, have stayed several times. Good food.

Paul United Kingdom

Top drawer, had a full English with the best poached eggs ever !!!

Bill United Kingdom

I've stayed here many times and it never disappoints. This is a really comfortable place to stay and the breakfast was delicious.
