10/10 Excellent

"Excellent will be using quite often cheddar gorge is a must see and hotel 20 mins away 👌"

The Crossways

8/10 Good

"Overall was very happy to stay here for 4 nights. Room was clean and staff were helpful and friendly. Plenty to choose from for breakfast and if you wanted an evening meal at the hotel prices were very reasonable. Large car park so no problem parking. Only downside were the narrow winding lanes to get to the hotel which put us off a bit coming back in the dark after our day out or going out in the evening."
