Plain hotel like being transported to the 1970s
Pros:

Spacious room, everywhere appears well maintained. Parking available. Every staff member I met was friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Bathroom stank of cigarette smoke. Another guest commented his whole room smelt of cigarette smoke..

It is a typical English tourist hotel. From another era, so felt dared. Evidenced by the restaurant which sold very simple plain food but well cooked and matched the hotel.

Bit MEH.
Pros:

Location you couldnt fault. Lovely to drive straight on to the site and the front door was just a stones throw away. Plenty of parking and pleasant receptionist. Room sizes were fine.

Cons:

We recently stayed at Wookey Hole Hotel and, whilst there were some positives, unfortunately the overall experience was a little disappointing.

Starting with the positives, the staff were friendly and welcoming, which is always appreciated. The bar had a good selection of drinks, and breakfast certainly served its purpose, with a reasonable choice on offer. That said, we did feel breakfast was perhaps a little on the expensive side, particularly given that it was a buffet rather than something freshly made to order.

Unfortunately, the biggest letdown was the condition of the hotel itself. It really does feel quite dated and tired, and the rooms in particular could benefit from some much-needed attention. The décor was uninspiring, but more concerning were the maintenance issues, including a cracked door, damp stains on the wall and peeling surfaces in the bathroom. These little things all add up and give the impression that the rooms haven't had the care and attention they need. We had arrived late-ish and decided not to ask to be moved as our son was ready for bed.

We certainly weren't expecting five-star luxury, but there's a difference between a hotel being basic and one that feels neglected. A little more finesse, some general maintenance and a refresh of the rooms would make a huge difference.

It's a shame because the hotel has potential, particularly with its location being so convenient for families visiting Wookey Hole. The staff are clearly doing their bit to make guests feel welcome, but the surroundings really do let the experience down.

Will be back!
Pros:

Great room, booked at the last minute but everything we needed was there and fresh. Great location as well! Loved the decorations, disappointed that we didn't have more time to explore. And breakfast was delicious.

Wish we'd stayed longer!
Pros:

We arrived about 8pm for our overnight stay. The chap on reception was very friendly and informative. We'd booked the Tower Room and it was lovely!

We walked in and on the ground floor was a cute double round swivle sofa, a huge tv and tea/coffee making facilities. Upstairs, a huge bed & walk in shower/bathroom. Both rooms & the stairs were very clean. The bed was amazing, probably one of the comfiest we've ever had! Slept soundly till the alarm went off the next morning!

We'd booked breakfast for the next morning, not a bad price for buffett style hot & cold. There was plenty of choices and even though it was 9:30, the trays were still hot and plentiful. I LOVED the pancake machine! Nice touch.

Back to our room and the shower was great, lovely temperature & great pressure.

Overall we wish we'd stayed 2 nights, just for the comfy bed and the excellent nights sleep!!!

Cons:

Wasn't anything to say negatively about our stay!
