the staff was lovely the entire stay. room (1) was beautiful and clean, and it had windows on 3 sides. a roll top bed, comfy mattress, and a very nice modern bathroom was included. bathrobes was a nice touch, i thought.
i didn't feel the room was as described, and it felt a little dated. we were given a disabled room so sink small and not comfortable. pillows were not the best.

the hotel offers breakfast with yoghurt, fruits, cereal, and cooked options. it is not excessive but more than enough to start the day. the wine selection is excellent with superb soft drink range.
Location

the hotel location is ideal when exploring the west country. it is up the road from bruton, sherbourne, and wincanton. it is not far from the a 303 if you are heading this way.
Service

the staff is super friendly and very attentive, but they are genuine and not over the top. an older gentleman welcomed us in with smiles. a young girl recommended the steak and beef burger to us, and it was superb.
Rooms

the room was well equipped with oodles of tea, coffees, hot chocolate, and biscuits. bright white huge bath sheets were rare to get in hotels these days. the view from the room was the pretty beer garden and countryside.

The dinner menu featured tempura prawns. They prepared the prawns with great attention to detail. The room included various teas and biscuits. Such a pleasant surprise. I particularly enjoyed the large walk-in shower.
The room's view overlooked the beer garden, though the garden could be a little noisy at times.
