"Beautiful character boutique hotel in the middle of the Quantocks. The Hotel was very welcoming both in decor and staff. From the receptionist to the hotel staff in the dining room, everyone was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were a nice size and very comfortable. The Hotel was positioned in it's own lovely garden with tables outside to sit in very peaceful surroundings. Would definitely visit again."

"The bedroom and bathroom were clean and tidy and tastefully decorated. We had booked a double room, the bed was very small, not adequate for two people, in fact when my husband turned over I fell out of the bed. So I am afraid we didn’t feel relaxed and refreshed the next morning. The dining experience was very limited, mainly Chinese food, obviously catered by a Chinese restaurant. The bottle of wine was very expensive, very over priced. Breakfast was good. We felt the host could have been more welcoming and pro-active."
