Stunning food

Food was amazing, really tasty and hot. We had dinner there on 2 nights and plus 2 breakfasts and they were all above average. Rooms are tired but clean unless you stay in the bridal suite which is modern and large.

Enjoyable break.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay. Good central location. We were impressed with the hotels business policy for zero waste,clean towels and room cleaning only on request, meals pre-ordered etc. Breakfast delicious. Staff very helpful

We had a lovely room, beautiful hotel and fab breakfast. We just thought the rooms bathroom could of benefited from a facelift. We were in room 2 and couldn’t have a shower as half the water came out of the shower head and the other half out of the tap. Bath did run very quickly though. Would definitely stay there again, we had a lovely time

6/10 Good

Okay but somewhat Underwhelmed

I got a "chalet" style room in what felt liked a converted garage, I somewhat underwhelmed. The main house looked pleasant. The room was okay albeit like stepping back into the 80's (it had seen better days).

They is no lift for disabled people also they don't clean your room unless you ask the to The staff where very helpful
RICHARD, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The property felt empty with areas around reception dark. There needs to be a re-think about whether the old lounge near reception is an open communal area and therefore screened from the seminar room beyond - and lit. Front bedrooms can be noisy because of daytime traffic along the road into Ilminster itself. Staff are friendly and efficient but multi-task which can lead to delays in service. Nevertheless it is a convenient stopping point along the A303
Paul, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Could be better

When we arrived we were told the restaurant was closed. Would have been nice to have been told this beforehand as we had to go back out to eat after a very long drive. Beer in the bar was awful. Tasted really off and another guest also noticed this. Hot water stopped after one shower although was sorted by a member of staff.
Angela, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Booked one of the superior rooms for 2 nights, was quiet as requested, although the room doors are heavy and slam easily. Room was nice, a bit dated but in keeping with the rest of the hotel. Housekeeping had not put on the heating so the room was very cold on arrival and it took a couple of hours to warm up. No bathrobes as mentioned in the guest directory and the room information has not been changed since COVID. Duvet too small for the size bed. But staff were very friendly and the full breakfast was good, even if a bit pricey. A good 3* hotel, would stay there again.

Lovely hotel

Very nice hotel, quiet and comfortable. Lovely staff.
Simon, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

AVOID - poor communication

I booked several rooms for friends all visiting Shindig festival. Due to personal circumstances within the space of a couple of months, i forgot to cancel some of the rooms for those who couldnt attend. When checking in the receptionist notified me of one room on a separate booking but NOT a further two under the same hotels.com booking reference which i had added in my friends name. The result was a hefty charge for both rooms for the whole three nights, which they made me pay! We stayed for 3 nights and at not one point was i notified. I am devastated. It was an extremely bad ending to what should have been a joyous time and a VERY costly error which could have been mitigated. I would avoid this hotel at all costs. Its obvious they didnt advise me so they could sting me with the full amount. Honestly, who can afford to pay for three hotel rooms for three nights but only need one!

8/10 Very good

Convenient for attending family event nearby. The room was pleasant and well equipped except for shower which needed fixing. Continental breakfast options quite limited. The evening meal was good and staff helpful. But there was no custard for the crumble.
Joyce, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Average and very loud

The hotel was fine, slightly dated but clean with a great shower. The bed was hard and not hugely comfortable. The worst part was that on the Saturday night the hotel had a huge function which was incredibly loud until past midnight. We were told on check in but that was useless as we had no other option by then! There were lots of drunk people blocking the entrance and smoking right outside so the entrance smelt bad and the outside tables were still covered with cigarette ends and empty bottles I the morning, also there was no parking reserved for hotel guests so we could not park when we got back. No staff were on hand to help either. Despite not being part of the event, no effort was made to put us in a room away from the event - in fact we were directly above the event room.

Spacious room

Good car park. Excellent room, spacious and comfortable. Main heater in room didn’t seem to be working properly but an additional plug in heater was also available in the room. Tried to call reception a couple of times with no answer (Christmas Eve).
