Ok room, but communial area tired and bar "hostile" uncomfortable seats chairs and layout makes no area inviting to spend time, bar like transport cafe. Also room heating timing is very limited in annex, so just use electric radiayor as soon as you arrive. They may then realise it is false economy when electric bill is multiple higher tgan if C/H was on, AND NOT GET REPUTATION FOR COLD PEASANT ROOMS.

Beautiful old building that is being improved, you can see the new additions on the grounds as well as fabulous bathroom in our room. The room itself was a teeny tired but comfortable and clean either way a fabulous bathroom! The bar was great, huge selection of gins and vodka and choice of tap drinks. Bingo was certainly popular. We were so interested in this hotel’s history, we googled it on the Ilminster historical society website and found out it was built as a mansion built by the Shepherd family in 1864! Fascinating story there!

ROOM: The bedroom was in the attic up a number of flights of stairs. The only windows were 'velux' so no good views outside!! However it was a good size and nicely furnished, but the bed mattress was poor. BREAKFAST: Had to pre-order, good choice, well cooked. DINNER: Where the hotel came into its own, the menu was good with a wide choice, the food was excellent. The dining room was warm and welcoming and the staff were excellent.

Very clean and comfortable room, lovely helpful and friendly staff, excellent carvery and breakfast, and nice restaurant decor. The bar was open when needed and there is a nice area to enjoy drinks. Also nice to walk the dogs around the green area.

We liked the location (proximity to the town centre and easy access to A303) and it was quiet. We had breakfast twice and dinner once during our two night stay. The varied choice for breakfast satisfied our requirements and the food at dinner was beautifully cooked and the portions ample, although my wife would have liked a greater range to choose from. The staff were friendly and helpful and we would particularly commend our waitress (Jesse?) at dinner for her help and overall pleasantness.

That the team in the morning resolved my room preference and booking issue. I also watched the team in the evening deal with an accident where an elderly visitor took a fall, and they were extremely professional and caring.

The hotel was stunning, with a great location. The evening meals we had were so very good, made even better by Barb who served us. The bed was super comfy and we had the best night sleep in a long time.
