My room was really lovely - comfortable, large, homely, quiet.

I was there for the Hay Festival - which a few guests seemed to be. This meant there was a bit of a bottleneck at breakfast time as multiple people wanted to leave at similar times. Perhaps knowing that this will probably happen each year, the bnb could anticipate this rush and offer (even sell) solutions e.g. a Hay Festival breakfast pack up etc.? And perhaps they could position themselves as '*the* place to stay for Hay' - with all info (about buses, shared lifts etc.), tips and tricks available :)

The owners were lovely and genuinely wanted us to have a good stay. There were little touches that made us feel there was a generous spirit. The breakfasts were excellent with a big choice. Fresh milk was available for tea and coffee in the room.. Ensuite shower room was very good. There was a lounge to sit in. The hotel was a 10 min walk from the station and it was a short walk to the centre of town.

There was nothing we didn't like. We stayed in room 8 on the 2nd floor which faces the road, which was fine. There are rooms available which don't face the road.

Sheila and Steve, owners of Somerville House, were tremendously hospitable hosts - nothing was too much bother, even fetching us plates for our takeout dinner one night. The B&B is a short walk from Hereford train station and not far from the town centre, so it's easy to get around even without a vehicle. The stellar (included) breakfast is served to order, hot and made with local produce. The accommodation was spacious, comfortable, with beautiful views of the town and cathedral, and spotlessly clean. A fantastic value for your stay in Hereford - even the minifridge, stocked with local treats and drinks, was remarkably reasonably priced!

Hard to imagine what they could possibly do better!

Somerville House is centrally located in the historic part of Dorchester. The hosts were very welcoming, and helpful with ideas for sightseeing and restaurants during our stay. Breakfast was a highlight, with plenty of options and very generous (too generous for the waistline!). Fairly quiet during the night, with double glazing of the windows.

It is a heritage building, so no lifts. But Karl helped carry suitcases for us.

Beautiful house with sympathetic decor reflecting the period of the house. 15 - 20 min walk into city centre. Good breakfast selection, plenty of choices. Staff were friendly and attentive. Good bathroom facilities. Iron and ironing board in room, s fridge sith a selection of drinks to purchase. Free coffee anf tea facility. The owners ard keen to try to reduce waste, and they use very local produce abd products.

Nothing really that I did not like.

2nd time of staying here within a month and have now seen 3 of the bedrooms, all of which were great. Love everything about Somerville House, including the beautiful views and accessible location; in easy walking proximity to the railway station and town centre. Thoroughly recommend. Sheila, Steve and staff are warm and welcoming as is the accommodation and as for the breakfasts what can I say: wide choice of quality local produce, beautifully cooked and presented with a smile. Great coffee to boot. Thank you.

Lovely welcome from Sheila and Steve in a beautiful building. I chose a King bedroom for a night, as I'm over 6 feet tall, I wanted a larger bed and it was huge and very comfy! Lots of lovely homely touches around the room and in the house itself. All very nicely decorated and everything you could want. The area is also quite quiet and it is also peaceful inside. My room was on the top floor which had a lovely view back towards the city centre. The stairs are no problem at all. It is a 15 minute walk into the city centre and the shopping area, which is quite straightforward. Lovely breakfast the following morning as well. Honestly, nothing is too much trouble and it was a really lovely stay and I would happily have stayed longer. Thank you both, I will definitely book again.

Nothing at all.

Although not in the centre of the city access to it was easy. The presentation of the rooms and communal spaces is tasteful and there are nice personal touches. Excellent choices available on the breakfast menu. Our hosts clearly take pride in what they do.

The only criticism, but this is perhaps more down to personal taste, is that the quality of the coffee given at breakfast did not match the quality of everything else.

A lovely Victorian villa with plenty of parking. The room was fine and clean although on the top floor and much smaller than we are used to. Sheila and Steve very helpful and provided an excellent breakfast. A ten minute walk down the hill to the local pub with good food at amazingly low prices compared to home was a bonus.

A very small room up four flights of stairs, don't quite know how that happened.

We were really impressed with this B&B & would recommend to anyone looking to stay in this area. We were given a warm welcome by hosts Sheila & Steve with everything clearly explained. The refreshments in our well equipped & relaxing room were really appreciated after a long drive down & the honesty mini bar was a lovely addition, which allowed us to relax in comfort while watching t.v. The bathroom was huge & lovely walk in shower was welcomed after a superb night's sleep in large comfortable bed. The breakfast we had could not be faulted with the range of options available was better than many hotels.The hot food well cooked & presented & full of flavour with only the best quality food being used. This couple have obviously worked hard but have really found their vocation in how they look after their guests & we would not hesitate to return if we are in the area again Thank you both for a really enjoyable stay Simon & Kim Betts
