Liz & Graeme were wonderful and welcoming hosts. Our room, which was large and comfortable, was on the ground floor with french doors that could be used as access to the parking area (across and down from the house), or just to let in fresh air on a lovely sunny day/evening. The room also had tea making facilities, free wifi and a well appointed en-suite bathroom. The choices for breakfast were good, as was the coffee and tea. The house is a short walk to good restaurants in Ilchester, and only a few minutes drive from the Fleet Air Arm Museum.
AustraliaExcellent hosts - friendly and helpful . Lovely touch with homemade brownies on arrival and offer of tea Booked us in at local restaurant on request prior to arrival. Sadly entire village had power cut and we were unable to have the planned meal but hosts kindly came to restaurant to guide as back home and offered snacks and drink to keep us going as we were unable to get any food that evening
United KingdomVery clean & comfortable. Delicious breakfast. Highly recommended

United KingdomOne of the best bed and breakfast we have ever stayed at. Breakfast was outstanding and Graeme and Liz were delightful. Very clean room and the family suite was perfect.
United KingdomGraeme and Liz were so welcoming and kind. Even though we had excellent tea making facilities in the room, Liz still brought us pots of tea and homemade chocolate brownies when we arrived. Everything was immaculate, comfortable and beautifully presented. The breakfast was outstanding. Thank you so much Graeme and Liz. Graeme even put on music especially for our daughter at breakfast and gave us the idea of seeing the starling murmurations on the Somerset Levels on the way home - which were spectacular and very special. Something we've always wanted to see. THANK YOU.

Liz and Graeme
Liongate House was converted from a 200 year old stable in 2006. It was sympathetically rebuilt as a bed and breakfast with careful attention to detail. Although modern inside the outside was rebuilt using the old bricks to retain its character.
We moved to Ilchester from Surrey in August 2013 to take over the ownership of Liongate House which was already being run as a successful bed and breakfast. We are now living the dream!
Ilchester is an old roman town and is steeped in history. Liongate House is within a very short walk which is flat, well lit and with a pavement from a good selection eating establishments.
