Nothing at all.. was a disaster of a place. Was greeted with there's your key your rooms upstairs. Not told about check out or breakfast times..We were not told about the late night dj who played loud dance music till 2am and was just below our window which was single pane glass. We were then inundated with loud screaming swearing and shouting and fighting outside the hotel. This went on for a further 1hr 30 minutes. At this point it was now 3.30am and no sleep. We both finally got an hour of sleep and the morning staff Came on shift and stood below our window and were having full on loud conversations which woke both myself and my partner. Wouldn't recommend staying at this establishment at all. I will be seeking a full refund.

In summary: food very good; lounge/bar not a comfortable area; dining room ambience soulless; room good except for electricals and heating. The strength of Farthings is the ability of the chef to produce very good meals. The front-of-house staff seemed to have a disinterested attitude as if they regretted being in the hospitality trade. No-one raised a smile. Perhaps they really are in the wrong job and to the detriment of their guests?

Well not so much ilminster itself as a head to place but the area in General has much to offer and not just Meusems or Churches
We visited Cheddar Gorge and other nearbye Towns and seaside Villages, visiting some Great Brocant's where it's hard to say no to that additional piece of clutter.

We chose Ilminster as it was fairly close to the M5 but not too far from Lyme Regis, where we were visiting the following day. We didn't spend time in Ilminster, just used the hotel as a overnight stop, but it looked characterful and was a great location to other attractions, including Lyme Regis.

Lovely central location so you can go to Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Sidmouth, Taunton and Wells in approximately an hour or under. Ilminster is a small town, with a large Tesco and other small shops for all you needs. Friendly locals and plenty of places to visit for all the family. Highly recommended for a perfect getaway.

Ilminster is quite a small place, but has some nice pubs and restaurants, and there is beautiful countryside around it. Close to Yeovil and Glastonbury, less than one hour drive from Exeter, and some nice National Trust places close by to visit.
We enjoyed every minute in this well appointed B&B. The gardens are lovely, and our room on the ground floor was unique and very comfortable. It included a king size bed and a free standing bath tub and separate shower. There is a hot tub on the property and outdoor areas to relax. The owner prepares an amazing breakfast to order. This is one of the nicest places we have stayed during our travels.
Lovely location and excellent host. Had breakfast and evening meals and food and service were very good .
Room had large comfortable bed and facilities were very good with both bath and separate shower .
What more can we say .. would recommend The Flying Fish for anyone who wants a good value stay in lovely south Somerset countryside.
The location was good, not far from the M5 and Ilminster had some good pubs.
The Breakfast was good although the cooked items were left on a hot plate for quite a long time. Because we were booked on a 2 day course we had a 3 course lunch each day (which was good home cooking type food) and home made cake in the afternoons.
It's great to have the 'lounge' area. Family can come and visit anytime. The breakfast is fine and if you wanted a ready meal, there is a microwave. The hosts are lovely! Great place for a couple of nights. The bathroom is lovely, great shower! Quiet and cosy and warm, even in the winter. Space to park etc.
Contrasting with "upmarket" chain hotels I've stayed in recently it was great - the TV was an ACTUAL smart TV which was NOT the case in a Voco or a holiday Inn express. The breakfast was excellent and the restaurant belonging to the property serves first class cuisine and reasonably priced
Really nice stay at this lovely hotel.
Lots of free parking and good links to the motorway.
My room was large clean and very comfortable and the walk in shower was a great addition.
Evening meal was excellent so was the breakfast.
A very nice stay indeed.
Great location in a quiet little town, ideal central point for Somerset, we had a wedding nearby, much better than staying in a hotel room, book the whole house instead ah.. Comfortable beds, great quality towels, very spacious.. Would hire again.
Lovely converted country cider barn. Nicely kitted out in all of the living areas with lots of kitchen stuff and plush cushions. Host is nice and friendly. Cute baby chicks in outbuilding!!
Hotel located in an exceptionally pretty village. Rooms were clean and comfortable, with great attention to detail. The bed was very comfortable. It was quiet and we slept well.
Easy to park. Lovely view from the back of the hotel.
Easy access by walking to both the city centre and sights in Ilminster.
Very comfortable room and very helpful staff.
Lots of space with all the facilities, very comfortable bed and plenty food in the fridge. Good location for travelling around Somerset and close to Ilminster.
