Room decor excellent, was offered a pot of tea on arrival which was very welcome after our long journey from Cornwall, hosts were friendly and welcoming and sitting in the pretty well kept garden by the pond was delightful, will definately stay again on the long journey to and from the west country. Five star service equal to a top hotel. And breakfast was freshly cooked to my dietary reqierments and very tasty.

Liz and Graeme were the perfect hosts - friendly, helpful and professional without being intrusive. They made us feel welcome and at ease, after our tiring journey, providing us with a much needed pot of tea. The breakfast was delicious, with a great choice of cereals, juices, items of cooked breakfast or continental and for me tasty Gluten Free toast.

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.
