Pretty average
Pros:

Comfy bed and nice shower.

Cons:

Limited cooked breakfast menu unless you like full English, but continental had nice mixed berries and yoghurt. Nowhere to wait for check in except a very hot garden.

Lovely hotel with very nice rooms and spaces to relax both inside and out. Yes, we would stay again.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent. Lots of choice for fruit yogurts and cereals. Cooked breakfast was tasty and a good size. The hotel is spotlessly clean and there were plenty of towels and a tea/coffee facilities provided in the room. The outside area was also nice and we sat out there for dinner; we couldn’t take our dog into the dining area, which I didn’t find unreasonable. Staff were friendly and made us feel comfortable during our stay. They were quite dog friendly and there was no extra charges included.

Cons:

I found the bed particularly hard and ended up sleeping on the chaise lounge. However, the dislike of the mattress was a personal preference as my husband found it very comfortable. It is not very clear when booking that any evening meals required are via a Chinese takeaway option; there is no evening catering at the hotel and only breakfast is cooked on site. However, there is a good selection and once the food was delivered the hotel served this to us properly, rather than out of containers (on the plus side our curry was quite tasty).

Not great but cherish
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

The room had no fan and was 30 degrees upstairs! It also smelt funny and very tired, dirty. Grumpy guy when I turned up and grumpy woman serving breakfast. Not what I expect. Think a food standard visit is due

Fantastic family run hotel in Taunton
Pros:

Lovely village location just outside of taunton. The family who run this hotel are lovely too, and breakfast is truly 5 stars.

Cons:

We did find it odd that the door is locked at 11, however a keycode is available so if youre out late you arent locked out.

Good for a stop off
Pros:

We used it to break the journey up to Devon. Only 10mins off the M5 so perfect. Nothing flash about it- probably a bit tired but a nice welcome, clean and a good breakfast. Perfect for our one night stay.

Cons:

They advertise breakfast from 7.30 midweek- we asked for 8am and was put off until 8.30- my fault I should have insisted on 8am- it just made us a little late getting to our destination.

Lovely B&B
Pros:

Room was comfortable, well equipped and spacious. A basic breakfast was provided before breakfast service began as I was leaving early. Staff were excellent throughout.

Cons:

An observation rather than a criticism. The mattress was extremely soft, though it was comfortable.

A comfortable and restful overnight stay after a long drive.
Pros:

Good to have a decent-sized single room, and a comfortable bed too. Beautiful decor throughout and lots of artistic interest. A hotel - and a village - with a history. I enjoyed a walk round Netherclay Community Woodlands, recommended by the hotel staff.

Cons:

The garden has potential and is obviously work in progress, with a generously sized seating area.
