Top Gillingham Hotel Reviews

Best Western Shaftesbury The Royal Chase Hotel

8/10 Good

"Breakfast very good"

The Swan Hotel Wells

8/10 Good

"A lovely old coaching inn in a nice setting. My room had a view of the cathedrala and green. Ideal for a short visit and I managed to get there in time for a car parking place. Only downside was no lift"

Wookey Hole Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is our regular Hotel when visiting wells to see family, Always get a good welcome, nice big rooms, with a traditional bath tub which we both love as only have wet room at home, it was very busy at breakfast,we were greeted and sat down smoothly, the Breakfast offer gets better every time we visit, food quality was excellent, looking forward to our next visit."

The Moonraker Hotel

8/10 Good

"Delicious evening meal, both the tomato soup and the lamb and belly pork in gravy, very nice polite waitress. Basic bar available. Clean bathroom, very nice gel soap for bath, lovely large bed and crisp bedding No real facilities other than restaurant and the bar closes at 10. Very few comfy seats in the restaurant to retire to after dinner and these were taken over by a large group, so we had to either continue to sit at our table or go back to our room. Outside town so not an easy walk to other restaurants or bars Overall however the price reflects this and the hotel was very good value."

George Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here a few times now. Staff always warm and friendly. Rooms clean and comfy."

The Crossways

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff lovely room and breakfast"

Homewood Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Homewood, it was the perfect place for a totally relaxing, luxury mini-break. The location is stunning, the hotel was full of charm and every detail had been thought about. Super-friendly, helpful staff and the spa facilities were great. The dinner was delicious with fresh flavours, generous portions and the breakfast was at the same standard. Highly recommended"
