I would like to buy whichever algorithm suggested The Old Parsonage as a base for a five day tour around Somerset a pint, because it was an inspired choice. Once you have finished feasting your eyes on the fascinating Queen Anne style exterior you enter a property that has been tastefully furnished with furniture lovingly curated by your hosts, each room is unique and exudes its own charm and style. James looked after us during our stay, and you couldn't wish for a more friendly, helpful and accommodating host. We stayed in 'Edward' which despite being within a hundred yards of a main road was quiet, the room was perfectly furnished with plenty of storage space and a bed that sent me to sleep in minutes. Breakfasts were as good as everybody else has noted and James makes a mean bacon sandwich. The host family have worked hard at creating something special and I wouldn't hesitate recommending it for a stay. It is perfectly placed for Bristol, Bath, Wells and so many other places. James suggested the frequent bus service to Bristol and for £3 each way per person the views from the top deck simply couldn't be seen or beaten from a car.

Beautiful historic manor furnished with tasteful antiques. Our room was very warm and relaxing. The bath is modern and immaculate. The parlor and dining room were bright and cozy with wonderful treasures to explore. We enjoyed spending time reading and conversing there. James was very friendly and gracious, offering information, history and advice on how to explore the surrounding area. The breakfast was tremendous. The garden was beautiful. The location is excellent on a dead end just slightly off the main road, short steps to a great pub, and proximal to Bath, Wells, Glastonbury, and countless beautiful villages, historic and ancient sites, and the beautiful countryside.

I didn't like leaving.

Location was lovely. We stayed in the Nook which was very clean and had everything we needed. It also had a lovely comfy bed with really nice bedding and pillows. The shower was lovely with great water pressure. Owner was very friendly and helpful.

The only down side I found was that check in was too late (between 5-9pm). There was the option to get an earlier check in and later check out at an additional cost which I found a little unusual. We travel often and most places check in is from 3 and check out is 11. Wasn’t the end of the world but worth noting.

Location was really good, my wedding venue was only a 20 minute drive away. We stayed in the stables opposite the main house, it had a homelike feel to it. Very cosy, very clean and had all the amenities we needed. Extra perks that there was a bathroom upstairs and downstairs! So no hogging for anyone. James rang a few hours prior to check in to make sure we were good and allowed us to self check in as we were coming in a little late. I didn't get to meet James myself but one of my bridesmaids who dropped the key off said he was very kind and accommodating.

It's not a fault to the accommodation at all. There is a beautiful beam that goes across the top room upstairs. Guest just have to be slightly wary not to walk into it or walk up and hit there heads

We were welcomed very warmly, James is a very kind host. The studio we stayed in had everything we needed (tea and coffee-supplies and even some cereals). It was really cozy and lovingly furnished. The beautiful town of Wells is just a few-minutes-drive away and you can also easily reach Bath or Bristol if you want. Only a short walk away from The Old Parsonage there is a pub with very good food and vis-à-vis there is a small shop where you can find everything you might need. Also, Somerset has a very lovely landscape where you can take nice walks.

Self catering : very clean, comfortable, really nice facilities (bathroom, kitchen), plenty of parking, very nice shower! We were made to feel very welcome. Milk in the fridge, some tea and coffee. Location good, co-op very close, petrol station close. Plenty to do and see in the area. We had a very nice stay.

Just comments, not criticisms: bed too short for tall husband, so wife had to sleep on the settee (it was very comfortable, so no problems, no suggestion that places should cater for people's height!). The bathroom could do with a chair/ stool to put clothing on rather than having to put it on the toilet. All very minor.

We have stayed before some time ago and the were returning for a wedding locally. We were met by James the owner who was charming and friendly . The hotel is a period built house and has the characteristics of a stately home. Beautiful paintings, period furniture grand fireplaces. All in all a very welcoming ambience. The room was superbly appointed with views to the well kept gardens. A wonderfully comfortable four poster bed awaited and a delightful ensuite completed the room. The bed was comfortable and the pillows just right. Breakfast was served the next morning and everything one could possibly require was available. Croissants, yogurt, cereals, cooked breakfast, vegan etc were all on offer. The dining room and food was exceptional. All in all an excellent stay and we will most definitely be returning very soon. By far the best hotel we have stayed in recently and we travel a lot. A massive thanks to James for saving the day with Green ribbon...the wedding was superb

Nothing. Perfect from arrival to departure.

Excellent easy-to-find attractive location with secure parking. The studio is compact but well laid out, with separate sleeping, bathing, cooking and relaxing areas. Comfortable bed with top quality bedding. Kitchen equipment kept to a minimum but it is not intended for elaborate cooking. There are good restaurants nearby.

Struggled to regulate the bathroom tap, a design we've not encountered before. One of the rings on the induction hob wasn't working.

I don't usually make reviews but this property was truly exceptional! Our welcome was relaxed but professional, informative and with a thorough explanation of the property, room facilities and arrangements for breakfast. We were able to choose our breakfast time and the system in place to organise dining room space made breakfast a peaceful and lovely experience- we felt very spoiled!! Breakfast itself was huge with a wonderful comprehensive array of foods which were beautifully presented- pastries and breads etc were presented like an afternoon tea! There were very high end jams, honey and soft fruits etc... cooked breakfast was cooked to order and again a very high standard. Itself The property has been carefully and lovingly restored with its history and character in mind. Our host gave us a fascinating history of the house and had gone to the trouble of having resources in the sitting room for further reading if interested (and the history was very interesting!). There was a thoughtful honesty box which we didn’t use but thought was a lovely touch. Attention to detail from the communal rooms to the bedroom (ours was the George room) and bathroom were fabulous. Our host when asked gave us really useful advice on the local pubs/places to eat and was spot on with the recommendations.. we came away for some time somewhere a little bit special and this property was absolutely definitely that and more!!! Do not hesitate.. book…This is an absolute gem! Thank you for making our trip such a special one!

Nothing at all!

We stayed at the Stable - a fabulous self catered apartment that can sleep 4. It is artfully decorated, comfy and inviting. And the little details - tea and espresso, milk in the fridge and some snacks just in case made our days even lovelier. The owner is very knowledgeable about the area and recommended some exceptional days out. Ask him for a tour of the main house too! The history of the place makes it all the more charming. Also, there is a car charger on the premises.

Nothing!
