Pros:

nice traditional hotel, room was nicely appointed and quiet, extra touches were nice e.g. the iron and ironing board, well stocked tea and coffee, biscuit, comfy bed, reasonably modern bathroom with shower, hot water always available. Restaurant meal choices were above my expectation and quite different to the usual pub fayre.

Pros:

I enjoyed my 1 night stay. It was in a very convenient location between Bridgewater and Taunton, had very helpful staff and good food. Bed was comfortable. The extra perk was the location is near to Pyne’s which is a super farm shop.

Pros:

The hotel looked tired and of need of an update.
The room was a lovely size but again it looked tired and in need of an update.
The food was great but on one occasion we sat for over 3 and a half hours to just have a 2 course evening meal, service was very poor. It looked like they were very under staffed in the kitchen.
But all in all a relaxing stay was had.

Good experience
Pros:

Such a friendly welcome. Great breakfast. Large comfortable room. It was quiet and peaceful. They need to clean better. The hotel needs a deep clean. There appears to be dust and cobwebs around the hallways and windows. Our room was not at all dirty but it needed proper dusting. I would not hesitate to return. Great price and good night sleep

Pros:

This is our second stay at this wonderful hotel, the staff are so welcoming and the food is amazing, we were quite late arriving this time but we were still able to eat in the restaurant and never felt like we were being rushed. We look forward to our stay next year 😊

Pros:

Itwas clear that the property is in need of significant upgrades. Furniture and fixtures looked worn, and the atmosphere didn’t feel fresh or well-maintained. With some renovation and better upkeep, it could be a much more comfortable stay, but as it stands, I wouldn’t recommend it until improvements are made.
