Janet, Australia

Lovely warm welcome, comfortable bed and fantastic hosts.

Izola, United Kingdom

Big old Parsonage, has a touch of Jane Austen and faded gentility about it. I bet it takes a second mortgage to keep it warm. Nice big room, comfortable and clean, Breakfast was exceptionally good, its worth going just for the breakfast. Home made breads and jams and muesli and probably sausages, black pudding and bacon! Absolutely delicious and the owner was good value as he buzzed around, serving the food and musing on the world.

Giles, United Kingdom

An Inside Look at The Old Parsonage Bed & Breakfast

The Old Parsonage is very special. It dates back to 1680 when it was built by Henry and Mary Hole. Their son John inherited the house and married into the Champney Family of Orchardleigh and soon gentrified the house with the addition of the imposing front consisting of a long hallway internally and two frontal wings which gives a very French feel like a chateau to the house. The family died out and the house became the property of the Duchy of Cornwall and since then it had regular visits from the royal family including Prince Charles The Prince of Wales, King Edward V111 and King George V1, see history on website. The staircase is special with it's fluted newel posts and alternate barley twist balusters surmounted by a heavily moulded handrail. Pevsner in his Architectural Guides describes the house as:Fne house perhaps c1680-90 of red sandstone. Since the 1960' it has been a restaurant with rooms and now it is a very successful B&B with TripAdvisor 5* rating and is loved and cared for by it's present owners Brian & Charlotte Murray

What Travelers Love About This Location

“I booked a contractor in for 1 night, his comments the following morning were very nice room and lovely breakfast, he was very happy with the accomodation”

PHILLIP

United Kingdom

“We were surprised by the fascinating history of the building and pleased that the owners were enthusiastic in sharing it with us. For a one night stay, we got so much more than just a place to sleep. We enjoyed the village, the parsonage and breakfast, including various loaves of freshly baked bread. Lovely gardens.”

“A beautiful home away from home :)”

- • Stayed 1 night
눉Our only regret it that we only stayed one night. We would have definitely liked to have stayed longer.
눇Our room was outside of the main property in a newly converted barn with exposed beams for that extra-touch of countryside authenticity. It was absolutely lovely, as it was on two floors. Downstairs there was a living-room with tea facilities, a fridge, a sofa, a dining table, a coffee table and a massive flat-screen TV. It honestly felt like home. Upstairs was the bedroom with a massive wardrobe, exposed beams, the world's comfiest bed and an en-suite bathroom with shampoo/conditioner, body wash, towels, a shower-cap and a lovely shower. Ultimate cosiness and comfort. The rest of the property is lovely - even though it is next to an A road, you couldn't hear it all that much, but that may have been because we were in the converted barn at the back of the property away from it. Also, they have planted many trees and bushes at the front of the property so you do not get an unsightly view of the road (thankfully). The breakfast was amazing, it catered to all. There was homemade granola and marmalade, jams galore, tea, coffee, an assortment of breads and cereals and a lovely full-english breakfast with the tastiest bacon we're had. Our hosts were both unbelievably lovely and accommodating, recommending places to see and park the car in the surrounding towns (Bath, Wells and Bristol are all a short drive away). We were even treated to a tour of the property and a history lesson about it's origins. We cannot recommend this place enough and once we return to the area, we shall definitely be staying there again :)

눇A lovely old house with lots of character. We were greeted on arrival with a pot of tea and biscuits which really settled us in. The bedroom and bathroom were both large and well appointed and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was great and my 'over easy' eggs were served perfectly. Thank you to Brian and Charlotte for being such wonderful hosts!
