Wookey Hole Hotel

Wookey Hole Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"When booking I didn't realise the hotel was right next to the ticket office to Wookey Hole Caves, what a bonus. Checking in was easy and the staff were very informative. After a busy day we decided to have dinner in the hotel restaurant. You do have to reserve in advance but the staff went the extra mile and fitted us in, we were very thankful due to having an exhausted and hungry child. We couldn't fault the meal, we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The family room was a good size, including two single beds and a double, all comfortable for firmer beds. The room was clean and had everything we needed. We didn't hear any other guests, I believe it was busy due to the school holidays. We had breakfast at the hotel, you also need to pre book. Its self service, there was lots to choose from, freshly cooked full English, cereals, fruit, croissants etc. We filled up for the day. We found all the staff to be polite, helpful and as I said previously, they went the extra mile. How refreshing to come across good customer service. Thank you."

"Overall, we had a good stay. The breakfast was excellent with a great selection, and the staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our visit. The only downsides were that the parking was quite expensive, although we managed to find cheaper parking nearby, and the elevator was out of order during our stay. Apart from these minor issues, everything else was good, and we felt the hotel offered fair value. We would be happy to stay here again."

Best Western Limpley Stoke Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I went to Limpley Stoke Hotel for my son's wedding. They arranged for it at the hotel about 14 weeks ago. The venue was excellent and the wedding, breakfast and evening party went flawlessly. The food was tasty, hot and plentiful. The bar and outside terrace was great, plenty of room to move around, everyone really enjoyed themselves. The bar itself had plenty to offer drnkwise and the bar staff were cheerful and professional. The rooms were spacious ,spotless and well stocked with tea/coffee etc. There were around 60 of us at the wedding and I thought it was an idea setting, just the right size although I'm sure larger parties would find it just as idea. Overall, it was a brilliant Hotel and venue. I would recommend Limpley Stoke Hotel to anyone as an idea spot and very reasonable priced ,the weather was great as well. Well done and thanks to everyone at the hotel. Tony Hughes."
