It was comfortable, clean and welcoming. The breakfast was good but a little more flexibility with charging would have been nice. My wife only has a light breakfast and the set charge was rather high for what she wanted. A small discount was given but it we felt it was still to high. A personal thing for us.

They have a Mexican restaurant with no other choices so if you don't like Mexican then you will have to seek elsewhere for an evening meal. A salad was available for my wife but that was all.

Lovely setting even though off a main road. Set up for weddings. Very well maintained both inside and out. Old buildings but nicely updated . Good shower and bathroom although in an old building. Very characterful. Staff extremely nice and friendly without overdoing it. Room Very warm, bed Very comfy, extremely clean.

Difficult to turn onto main road at times because of traffic , perhaps widen entrance or cut back plants etc so we can see .

Staff were all excellent and very helpful. Hotel was lovely, as was the cat we met in the grounds. Views to the front and rear of the property were very pretty. Food was generally nice; if you like fish, try the Goan curry. Bed very comfortable. Garden and courtyard beautiful.

Bath tap broken. Shame the hotel didn't have more customers as it deserves to have more guests. Great for us, though!

Lovely 15th century Manor House now a hotel. Clean and comfortable room. Mexican food delicious and breakfast very good. Great terrace with views overlooking the countryside and the wisteria growing in the courtyard, beautiful. Staff all very friendly and welcoming.

Nothing not to like

Location was great for the Fleet Air Arm Museum, which was the main reason for visiting the area. Food was very nice at the hotel, breakfast was great even though it was a little pricey. Very friendly staff, from checking in to check out. Full marks to the receptionist on duty at check out who gave us an alternative route back to the M5 saved miles of driving, well done that girl. Beautiful old manor house with flagstone floors . Would recommend this hotel for a stay in Ilchester and would stay again without hesitation.

Nothing

Old building, full of character and nicely decorated. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Plenty of parking. Breakfast was good,especially the artisan bread.

Evening service in the restaurant could have been better. May have been a one-off as they had staff in training, but table booked for 7pm, and starters appearing at 8:30. This was really disappointing as two of our party had work- related appointments to get to.

Lovely hotel and a great find for a stop over on the way down to Cornwall. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Room clean and comfortable. Breakfast was really dood. We also ate in the restaurant on the evening of our arrival. Once again the food was very good.

The whole family feel is great, the staff are friendly, they have great facilities for disabled people, walk in shower, good sure bathroom, this is our second visit and will be back again soon,

The location is perfect our family live about ten minutes away, the parking is perfect, and it is a lovely village to visit,

The staff were lovely, breakfast was good I got what I asked for and the location was perfect I was attending a ceremony for my brother at the navy base.

The lay out of the room. The mirror had no table placed near it and the pugs were in awkward places for charging my phone and plugging in my hair curlers. I did move a table to where the mirror was. Also some quiet music in the breakfast room would be good it was a bit awkward listening to everyone clinking their knives and forks.

We had the most friendly, warm & helpful welcome from the lady on Reception. She made great chat about where we’d been & made recommendations for dinner & what to do & where to coffee in Sherborne. Our bedroom was super cosy & quiet & clean & the bed was very comfy. We’d highly recommend
