The location is fantastic, and the view from the room was equally marvellous. This is a well-run, efficient litttle hotel, but some allowances must be made for the fact that it is small. The pub is not open during the week which makes the evenings quiet and simple although there are a number of gastro pubs and small towns eg Mere within easy distance. The staff are efficient, motivated and friendly, dealing with any problems very quickly and quietly.

I didn't read the info carefully enough before booking, so I was disappointed to be staying on nights when the pub itself was closed, I found the absence of a shower difficult (although the bath was large and the hot water plentiful) and there were a couple of problems during my stay - power outages, variable internet service etc - which made things a bit challenging, but these are small grumbles, given the charm of the hotel and it's staff.

Clean, comfortable and attractive rooms in a hotel of character, just a few minutes walk from all areas of Stourhead's House and Garden. Friendly staff were ready to help and made us feel at home. Breakfast was good, the full English (that needed to be ordered the evening before) was decent, plus there was a range of cereals, yogurts etc. We took two rooms for two nights and enjoyed our time at Stourhead immensely, despite more than our fair share of rain!. We like to think that at some stage we will return.

The location of the Spread Eagle is incredible, the staff are excellent and there is a strong sense of being made to feel at home. The breakfast was delicious and had a good range of choices, the room was well equipped and the bed was very comfortable.

My only minor criticism would be that the WiFi is a little unreliable. It’s an open public service and gets extremely clogged because I expect it’s used by all the people using the nearby cafe. Perhaps consider a separate connection with a password for paying guests?

The bedroom, the staff, the atmosphere. The Spread Eagle is a lovely old fashioned pub.

The lack of communication regarding availability of food. An email of13 Dec told me that no food was available at the pub apart from pre ordered platters. This was due to staff shortages. Lo and behold we turn up yesterday afternoon having eaten elsewhere to find the pub serving food!!!! Why wasn't I told that food was now available. We spent over £70 on lunch at another pub when we would rather have spent the money in the Spread Eagle. So we lost out as did you due to poor communication.

The staff are amazingly friendly, made us feel so welcome. The location can't be beaten for Stourhead gardens. The room and bed was very comfortable. We only stayed one night but next time hopefully longer.

The breakfast option was cooked breakfast in your room or continental in the Green room. As we don't like eating in our room we chose the continental. At breakfast the option was cereals, yoghurt and toast, that's not a continental breakfast! It's not really a complaint just an observation.

Very friendly and attentive staff. Ben was exceptional from check in to lights out and the breakfast waitress was equally friendly and attentive. Our evening meals (in the bar) were substantial, delicious and freshly cooked. Breakfast was a combination of self and table service and was smooth and efficient. Excellent coffee. It is a wonderful place to wake up and enjoy the stunning garden at Stourhead and we would happily return.

We stayed on a Friday evening and the bar was very quiet which was both surprising and disappointing. The menu had limited vegetarian options - in fact just one - but that was well cooked. Our room (number 2) was spotless and the bed was comfortable but generally the room was dated and lacked reference to the wonderful landscape around. It was over-furnished and underprovided with electrical sockets - none near the mirrors. The bathroom was spotless but c 1960 in design. Fortunately the bath filled quickly. A relatively inexpensive creative update here (removing some furniture and replacing the pictures with relevant scenes) could take it towards the luxury status it deserves.

The staff were so friendly, even after a very hot day. Checking in was super quick and easy and we were pretty much just sent on our way to our room (which for us was great since we’re not the most sociable lol) The room was HUUUUGE!! The view of the little cottage was super cute and everything in the room was unbelievably clean and was stocked up perfectly. Having dinner downstairs in the bar was great and so so convenient. The food was delicious, we wanted to order the burger twice each lol. It was quite quiet for a Friday evening with such lovely weather and we weren’t made to feel rushed to leave the bar or anything. Parking just across the courtyard was also very convenient (the idea of parallel parking near the church was horrific to me haha) and super easy to get to. I didn’t make it to breakfast in the morning since I was so knackered from walking around the lake but if it was anything like the dinner, I’m sure it was delicious

I couldn’t actually turn off the heater in the bathroom so that wasn’t great lol felt a bit like a sauna. Maybe it’s not necessary to have on in the Summer? Also for one night it was possibly a little expensive but if the money goes towards good staff pay then I’m more than happy to support the rates

1. Brilliant location for visiting Stourhead. 2. Free admission to Stourhead. 3. Very friendly staff. 4. Hearty food. 5. Peace and quiet at night. 6. One or two shops in the vicinity.

1. The bathroom: there was no shower, only a bath with a shower-head, and the bath's sides were too high for me to get out unassisted. 2. Very creaky wardrobe door. 3. Small TV screen. 4. Smallish bed.

Beautiful old house right outside the gate to the Stourhead garden...perfect location for pleasant walks from the hotel.

No one was there at the desk; place was all locked up when we got there (after check-in time), no communication, nothing. We finally tracked someone down in a neighboring shiop who called her son to give us the combination for the lockbox with the front door key. I realize they are short on staff but they could at least have warned us...we would have been happy to let ourselves in had we known how to do it.

Lovely setting, lots of character, lunch was very nice and the staff all very friendly and helpful. We stayed as we were visiting stourhead christmas illuminations

No evening meal and the bar opening times information led us to believe it shut at 6pm but was open until 9pm. Rooms were comfortable but the bathrooms need a bit of an upgrade - no shower ( just a hand held shower in the bath.)
