Brilliant little half way house
Pros:

Staff were very helpful, gave us all the information we needed. They asked if we wanted dinner and got us a table ready. Food was delicious and hot. They forgot cheese on my daughters chips which none of us were bothered about, but the chef came out and apologised and treated both my children to a chocolate bar, they were over the moon.. really lovely gesture.
Our room was great value for money. We would happily go back

Cons:

Friendly, clean, comfortable, great food, great staff who couldn't do enough for you
Pros:

What a fantastic stay!

There were six of us in total, spread across three rooms, while visiting local attractions, and we were all made to feel incredibly welcome by the wonderful staff at this hotel.

The food was excellent, the service was outstanding, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Our rooms were spotlessly clean and set in the beautiful Somerset countryside, making for a peaceful and relaxing stay.

There was secure parking for our motorcycles, which was greatly appreciated—just watch out for the gravel!

The hotel is also in a great location, only about an hour from Dorchester and just five minutes from the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Ilchester.

A huge thank you to everyone for making our stay so enjoyable. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

Cons:

Only the gravel car park - a bit precarious for motorcycles!

Niet bijzonder, zeker niet voor een lang(er) verblijf.
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel, ruime kamer, schoon.

Cons:

Rommelige entree, met uitzicht op een chaotisch samenstel van containers, afvalbakken, schuttingen, stacaravans. Ontbijt is standaard Engels, zonder variatie. Slechts één vd vijf avonden blijven eten. Aanbod is het standaard pubfood, daarnaast de hier door anderen geroemde curry’s - die worden echter geleverd door een catering, dus daarvoor hoef je er niet persé te verblijven.
