Room was very tired and old fashioned, there was aircon which was helpful. The electric shower over the bath gave very poor flow and almost impossible to regulate the temperature. Very difficult to get out as no hand rail on the wall and we are over 70. The breakfast was amazing, good choice and beautifully cooked. The garden would have been a pleasure to sit in but poorly maintained, tree cuttings everywhere and old toilet by the back gate. There was parking but no clear notices where and again very messy area at the rear. Graham was friendly and I think tried really hard for his guests but I guess the property is an overwhelming task to maintain.

It was great, the rooms where clean, bedding and towels spotless.

Breakfast was amazing, made to order and a large selection all fresh I might add.
There are a few quirks around the building but this is what I was expecting from a building of this age, would I stay here again, without a doubt, next time we are in the area this will be our go-to place.
Thanks for a great stay.

Delightful place to stay.

This is a wonderful place to stay if you are looking for a peaceful, laid back getaway in a countryside location. Adequate parking, including area to the side/behind the building.

The building is gloriously unspoilt and Graham, the host, provided a warm and friendly welcome. The room was stunning and so was the view with easy access to the garden.

We had good WiFi and everything was in perfect working order, including the bath and shower that worked well.

We took a small dog who was also made very welcome and we had one of the best night's sleep in any hotel, we've stayed in.

The breakfast was superb with a menu you can amend to suit, and included a proper vegetarian option, which my wife really enjoyed. We would definitely recommend this place and are planning to return.

Comfortable with excellent breakfast.

We stayed 2+2 in the big family room. The hosts were lovely, the room spacious and comfortable and the breakfast was excellent (!!). Only downside was the shower - took ages to get to luke warm (never hotter) with poor flow but, in fairness, we didn’t raise it as an issue at the time, so there may have been a fix that we were not aware of. We enjoyed our 3 night stay.

Surprising nice hotel, room was clean and larger than average. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Ample parking and close to Glasonbury. Breakfast choice was endless and the full English was excellent

Minor issue is that the hotel does not offer evening meals or bar, which is a pitty as it has a nice beer garden. Nearest pub was 2 miles away and closed, the other two were full, which meant a drive into Glasonbury. Unfortunately the road was close and meant a large detour (hopefully this will be re-open soon)

Would stay here again

Stayed here for access to Clarks Village 4 miles away.
My room was quiet , bed lovely, and had good quality sleep.
The patio doors in my room did not close at the bottom properly so the smell of smoke from the surrounding houses came into the room in the evening.
It could do with the radio on in the breakfast room in the mornibgs as it was a bit too quiet.
It is obvious they care about their guests - many hotels do not give any soap, face clothes etc - even separate hand wash in the room. Coffee and biscuits and a full spread buffet. Good hidden parking.
Very pleasant.

Not a 4 star

Not sure how this is a 4 star rating.
I would say 3 at best.
The place is very hard to find better signage would help, perhaps it was because it was dusk when we arrived.
Friendly enough. Charming, dated, mostly clean. The room was so hot, the shower was basically non existent. Only provided shampoo no conditioner( though when I asked for it they provided me a used bottle that a previous guest had left behind )no hairdryer.
Coffee pot was on the desk yet you had to plug it in unless you moved it across the room and then back to make your coffee. The bed was not comfortable, thank God I brought my own pillow. Breakfast was very nice and the family running it was firiendly.

Comfortable hotel, gluten free food!

I'm always nervous staying away from home; as a coeliac, it's sometimes a bit hit and miss as to whether I can eat safely.

One of the owners of the hotel has coeliac disease, so she is well aware of using separate utensils etc, so I had fantastic breakfast every day with no worries.

Three of us stayed in the Mendip room, which is a nice large room. There was plenty of tea and coffee in the room.

The only slight downside was the shower was only just adequate (not much power, and difficult to control the temperature). Reading other reviews, it seems many guests choose to use the bath instead.

Lovely Stay

The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. We came up to see the Starlings at Ham Wall Nature Reserve which was just a few minutes drive away.
The Victorian hotel had lots of character, we used a small lift to move our cases and camera gear to the upstairs room.
The superior room with bath had a 6 foot bed which was very comfortable, a small bath and over bath shower.
Coffee and tea facilities, the hair dryer didn't work And the bath tap was loose but other than that everything was hunky dory. I would rate it 4/5

Turned away

We had tried to call the hotel, and they said can we book on line, as we wanted to check we were Ok to take dogs. When we arrived at the hotel the door was locked so we pressed the bell, and a guy answered and said he would send his wife down. A man in a white van arrived, the man then shouted if those dogs come near me I will kick them, then he said in future if people ask you your name you don't say reason, you say Mr Reason. Then he said he we never called the hotel, as the owners are away, and I said we did as we wanted to check on the dogs. He said we never had a booking, and would not even look at the paperwork we had. So I said whats the matter, don't you want us to stay, and he said no F@@@ off, got in his van and drove off. This was sometime after 6pm.

Four Star Should Be One Star

I booked this hotel through Hotels .com were its listed as 4 star,unfortunately my stay was anything but 4 star.I got to the hotel at 18;45 on a Friday evening to be met by a member of staff who was just on her way home,I was given my key shown to the room which was fine and I have no complaint,I was then told that no food was available there is a bar but its closed,I was directed to a pub 1.5 miles away where I could get something to eat,Cooked breakfast I was advised was not available but some cereal could be left out and I could help myself.In hindsight I should have asked for a refund but after a long drive navigating the M6/M5 I was just ready to sleep.The followng day I returned after visiting friends to find this 4 star hotel doesnt service the rooms.

Beautiful Country House Hotel near Glastonbury

We much prefer family run establishments to impersonal large chain hotels and this was no exception. We had booked (through Expedia via a Trivago search in the area) very last minute with less than a couple of hours notice but found we were expected and that the room exceeded our expectations. This owner run beautiful manor house is very much a home and very relaxed/unstuffy. The owner/manager was at the reception when we arrived and was very jovial and welcoming.

We had a huge family en suite room with lovely oak four poster. bed /drapes and two single beds plus TV . A tray with a generous selection of coffee/tea/hot chocolate/milk was waiting for us. The bathroom (bath with shower), like the bedroom,was immaculately clean; there were plenty of bottles of shower gel,shampoo and bars of soap and large towels. Breakfast was included and excellent with both a buffet and cooked to order. The smoked haddock was a bit on the small side but very tasty with the poached egg.

The hotel is just five minutes drive from Glastonbury on the Wedmore /Cheddar Gorge Road and accessible also for Wells where we had supper in a lovely Greek run tavern/restaurant.

Although it's located in a small village, the hotel is within a 15-30 minute drive of many of the places people come to Somerset to visit - Glastonbury, Wells, Bath - which makes it a good touring centre: I was able to visit them all in a day.
