"This is an amazing property………Classic somerset cottage equipped with all modern conveniences. Super quiet (well a few tractors collecting the harvest!). We all slept very well.

Top Ilchester Hotel Reviews

Wookey Hole Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice and easy! Perfect for visiting Wookey Hole Caves. Nothing too fancy but all clean and staff are friendly."

The Swan Hotel Wells

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in a great location, brilliant breakfast and reasonable pricing."

The Manor Hotel by Greene King Inns

10/10 Excellent

"The single room was fine and reasonable value (the doors do shut loudly). The staff were all very friendly, helpful and impressive (excepting one rather sour lady behind the bar!). They were very polite and kind, it makes a big difference to how you feel about a hotel. The food was really good and not expensive, excellent value. The drinks selection was extensive. There's plenty of outside seating. All in all, I definitely recommend the hotel and would happily stay there again."

The Castle at Taunton

10/10 Excellent

"brilliant location in the centre of Taunton. good breakfast but could do with a slightly more varied and extensive menue for evenings."

Northover Manor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, fans kept in rooms for warm nights. The staff were brilliant, very friendly and helpful."
