Lock in a great price for Somerville House – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

The welcome, professionalism of proprietors who showed the right amount of friendliness without being too "full on". The room was clean and tidy, the lounge comfortable, a well-stocked fridge in the bedroom. Breakfast was perfect, using locally sourced produce, beautifully cooked and a wide variety of excellent home-made jams and marmalades. It was definitely the best place I have stayed in a very long time.

Hilary, United Kingdom

Very friendly owner, nice room and bathroom. and a lovely breakfast.

Connie, Denmark

The location to the town was easily walkable and up a lovely, well manicured street with Victorian style houses either side. The sitting room area and garden out the back of the house were well maintained and slightly eccentric, which gave the house some style and authenticity.

Bevsme, United Kingdom

Comfy bed, Great high Tech Shower; Shower room rather small but adequate. Excellent breakfast and very obliging host. Quiet position but only 10 min. walk to the Cathedral where I was singing with a Choir. I must bring my wife on some other occasion. Alan Read.

Alan, United Kingdom

There was bottled water provided in the room with plenty of tea and coffee, for which fresh milk was provided. The fruit compot at breakfast was delicious as were the bacon and sausages. Ther was a separate sitting room with plenty of local information and a terrace to sit out on in good weather

Lesley, United Kingdom

Wtomato and mushroom very watery as if they had been cooked in water .

Vivien, United Kingdom

Run by very nice people who could not do enough for us. The room was very comfortable and very clean. The cooked breakfast was excellent and consisted of quality local produce.

Michael, Gibraltar

Just excellent service all round. Breakfast was exceptional. Good location for exploring as well.

Bill, United Kingdom

Room was clean and well provisioned. Quite hot and airless, even with the window fully open, but not cramped despite being an attic room.

Robert, United Kingdom

Excellent breakfast. Well-stocked room fridge, reasonably priced. Friendly proprietors.

눉Nothing
눇The cleanliness was exemplary and the breakfasts were first class - great choice, local produce and excellently prepared - and quickly served. The owners, who are charming, provide fresh milk (not the small UHT pots) for the tea and coffee in the bedroom (although you do have to ask for it, as the owners occasional absent-mindedness just adds to the charm of the establishment). All in all, first class

“Home from home ”

- • Stayed 3 nights

눉Only the access to the road on which it was located. It was terrible being a pedestrian, as walking to and from the railway station, or into town, meant having to negotiate extremely busy four-lane roads. It was exhausting, coping with the traffic conditions.
눇The welcome, professionalism of proprietors who showed the right amount of friendliness without being too "full on". The room was clean and tidy, the lounge comfortable, a well-stocked fridge in the bedroom. Breakfast was perfect, using locally sourced produce, beautifully cooked and a wide variety of excellent home-made jams and marmalades. It was definitely the best place I have stayed in a very long time.

“Beautiful building but in desperate need of a re-camp inside! ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The room we stayed in was very cramped and as you can see from the photos quite worn and tired. Although the room and bathroom did seem well cleaned, the carpet was very stained and bathroom tiles quite grimy. This may well just have been our room but it was in desperate need of a re-vamp and certainty didn't feel value for money. We both felt it did not warrant its good booking.com rating and 5 star rating. Quite disappointed.
눇The location to the town was easily walkable and up a lovely, well manicured street with Victorian style houses either side. The sitting room area and garden out the back of the house were well maintained and slightly eccentric, which gave the house some style and authenticity.

“We enjoyed our stay very much and our room was fine. We would have welcomed a bit softer bed!”
- • Couple
- • Small Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉We would have liked a shower mat to step out onto after taking a shower. There was a safety mat provided which was good but we had to use one of the hand towels to avoid getting wet footprints everywhere and then had to leave it for a clean replacement which was wasteful.
눇The people there were very accommodating because we needed to have an early breakfast on the Sunday morning which we were very grateful for. The supply of fresh milk for tea and coffee in our room was most welcome and makes such a lovely change from the (often provided) UHT fiddly little containers. It was also great having a teapot provided, too. The bathroom was very well appointed.
