missingWrote a review on 03 Octfriendly staffgreat foodnoisy environmentpoor shower pressure
the staff here were super friendly n made me feel right at home. the room was stunning with comfy soft sheets n a nice vibe. i really loved that they consider the environment, especially with the towel washing policies. the food? wow, just wow, best ive had in a while! i felt at peace during my stay and even managed to finish a drawing, which never happens.
the noise from the pub downstairs was pretty annoying at night, and the shower pressure was a bit iffy too, switching from hot to cold.

It was just a nice choice for a weekend pause in Wincanton with great value-to-price ratio. The breakfast was surprisingly good, especially the coffee. Remember to check the water pressure before taking a shower.

I had a lovely three-night stay where I enjoyed the delicious breakfast and the cozy hot chocolate waiting for me in my clean room. The sun terrace and relaxing garden area really made it easy to unwind after a busy day. There was a bit of noise in the bar area, but it didn't ruin my overall experience at all. 😊

Had a great time with friends! We explored the area with some awesome fishing and cycling adventures. The room was cozy and the staff was super friendly. The outdoor seating was a nice touch, perfect for relaxing after a day out. Highly recommend checking out the evening menu. the meal we had was simply fantastic!
One downside was the noise at night as our room was situated above the bar entrance, which could get a bit loud.

Comfortable stay with great breakfast
I enjoyed my stay in a double room. it was clean and warm, and I appreciated the plentiful tea and coffee supplies. The breakfast was a standout, with delicious locally sourced options that really made my morning. I was disappointed that the hotel doesn't serve dinner on Mondays, which could be inconvenient.

Dog-friendly services, interesting local information, powerful showers
Significantly improve noise insulation!!! Consider updating decor and fixtures to enhance comfort!!! Showers had poor drainage, and room maintenance seemed neglected, affecting cleanliness and overall satisfaction!!! Factors like limited dining options could also be diversified!!!

comfortable bed but limited amenities
The room was very clean and the bed offered a great night's sleep. Free parking at the back was convenient and a big plus.
Amenities were somewhat lacking for a higher standard hotel.

Clean, tidy accommodations with a lovely double bed, ample storage, and a kettle for tea and coffee. The full English breakfast packs a punch, perfect for fueling up for the day ahead.
Noise levels spike in the evenings due to the lively pub atmosphere, which can be disruptive for light sleepers. Furniture appears old and uncomfortable, with mismatched tables and chairs adding to a somewhat dingy vibe. The TV size is less than ideal, and some appliances could use a good dusting. Parking signage could be clearer to prevent initial confusion upon arrival.

missingWrote a review on 21 Marcomfy roomcourtyard vibesignage issue
The room I had was decent for a solo traveler, featuring tea and coffee-making facilities that made refueling easy. The courtyard offers a relaxed vibe, perfect for unwinding despite the occasional hustle of passing cars.
I didn’t spot any signage for parking until later, which made the entrance a bit tricky, but there’s free parking nearby, so it wasn't a major hassle. The skylight in my room was a letdown—dirty and positioned too high to navigate comfortably, making the air stale and the space less inviting overall. On top of that, the heavy door leading downstairs had a step that posed a little challenge while lugging my bag. The courtyard can get a bit lively too, as I found myself chuckling with another guest over some reckless driving over the seating area, not exactly the quiet retreat I was looking for.
