The hotel was comfortable and the rooms pleasant. The staff were friendly and only too pleased to help even with unusual requests. The food - both breakfasts and evening meals - was excellent using local produce. We hope to go back again and will recommend the hotel to our friends and family. (97926213)

John from Evesham, GB (Mature couple) 14 November 2007

Five miles from Bath, this is an ideal visiting base using good 'park & ride' facilities. Car essential. Do not try to find it in the dark without satellite navigation to help. Breakfasts are excellent. The dinner menu appears to be the same every night so fine for 3 or 4 nights - after that I am not so sure. The staff make it a delight. (97050064)

positive comments Friendly & helpful staff in a pleasant rural setting
negative comments No chairs in room, no quiet room in hotel.

Bernard from Nottingham, GB (Mature couple) 31 October 2007

Room very nice and nothing was too much trouble for the owners and the staff.Food was lovely and a varied menu .Owners and locals happy to sit and chat about the history of their surroundings. About 30mins drive away from Bath which is lovely town to visit. Would reccomend a visit to Longleat for a good day out . (97229273)

The staff were friendly and very helpful, location of the hotel was lovely, although the grounds could have been a bit tidier. The food was excellent, both in taste and value for money. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel to others and hope to visit again next year. (97279033)

Dawn from Hinckley, GB (Young couple) 28 September 2007

The hotel was situated in a small village with nothing much around it, which was perfect as it was very peaceful and relaxing. Bath is about 15mins away and the owner gave us directions on how to get there and where to park, which was very easy. The rooms were clean, with towels and coffee making facilities provided. They were cleaned every day. Dining was great - we had a cooked breakfast in the morning and ate in the restaurant in the evening, which was also very nice and plentiful. Before eating our meal we sat in the lounge/bar area which was again very relaxing - the owners have thoughtfully provided board games and cards to use whilst you are there. The hotel is ideally located for visiting Longleat Safari Park (which we did) and there are shops such as Tesco only a few miles away. We really enjoyed our stay here and it was obvious it was a family run hotel and had that cosy welcoming feeling - we would definitely revisit this hotel again. (97331928)

positive comments the surroundings - very peaceful. the rooms were lovely and staff friendly, with nothing being too much trouble.

The hotel staff were friendly, helpful. Accomodation was spacious and comfortable. The hotel is in a hamlet about seven miles from Bath but good for touring the area. There is a park and ride within 10 minutes drive, allows you to visit Bath without the hassle of parking in town. Good choice of food in restaurant and well cooked. (99054883)

Malcolm from Canterbury, United Kingdom;GB (Young couple) 27 August 2006

A very friendly hotel with a nice and well priced restaurant attached. Written directions to the hotel were useful although sometimes the road signs to the hotel stopped! It was close to the park and ride for Bath and there were many attractions not too far away. The rooms were clean and functional although the cheapest rooms (that we stayed in) would be a little small if staying for more than a couple of nights. (3305107138)

positive comments Very friendly staff
negative comments Room was a little small but fine for a couple of nights. Walls were rather thin and so could hear other guests.

accommodation was spotlessly clean throughout the hotel, the staff were very helpful and friendly and the food was of good quality and quantity. we found the hotel a little hard to locate after we took a wrong turn but once on the right track sign posting was very good. massive open space behind the hotel - great for kids to play on (3305061069)

I found the hotel very clean & tidy. Our host was very helpful & he check to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was excellent. We as a family had our evening meal after a long journey. The waitress asked if the children would like their meal with our starter which was very helpful as they are much slower eaters. The food was served very poromptly and the waitress was very attentive. The room had everything we needed & was spotlessly clean. The decor in the room was tasteful & very comfortable. We asked for a family room and it was nice & quiet - no loud noises to keep the children awake. The next morning our breakfast was delicious - the mushrooms are to die for!!! I have only been home a few days & I have recommneded this hotel to 2 of my friends already. (3304837566)

positive comments The hotel had a very homely atmosphere and the food was excellent.Our host was very helpful with directions to local attractions.
negative comments It was slighty hard to find as we didn't know the area but the hotel gave very good directions if we had followed them properly.

ERIC from BENFLEET, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 24 June 2006

I browsed the internet to find a hotel and your one came up that (A) we liked the look of e.g. lovely location and very attractive building and the rooms looked clean, modern and light.(B) was not as expensive as some others. (C) The deciding factor was other guests comments on the website, they all gave excellent reviews. (3304800092)

positive comments Lovely surroundings, clean and modern, breakfast was superb.
negative comments Nothing really to dislike except perhaps other guests kept banging the door leading to the stairs.

I would thoroughly recommend a stay at this hotel and our group who visit the Badminton Horse Trials every year, will definitely be returning again next year given its lovely food, bar, rooms, fantastic service and warm welcome. (3304139657)

positive comments The quality, quanity and choice of food was exception. Very cosy bar to relax in pre and post dinner.
negative comments Lovely room, perfect for our requirements but for 3 ladies, ideally a more powerful shower would have speeded up the bathing process. A minor issue.
