Farthings is a lovely hotel. All the staff are friendly and very helpful - nothing is too much trouble. The evening meal we had was excellent and I understand the chef uses local produce as far as possible. There is a very good range of options for breakfast. Our room was very comfortable and seemed very fresh as if it has been recently refurbished. We enjoyed the use of our balcony and also the extensive gardens to the front and rear. For us, it was an excellent based for exploring Somerset and easily reached from the M5.

Nothing!

Lovely hotel in a great locstion off the beaten track with great facilities and lovely food

Stay several times at Farthings and booked a balcony room specifically to be able to sit outside on the balcony in the lovely spring sunshine - arrived to be told that the balcony could not be used due to refurbishment - this was not made clear at the time of booking with no apology or offer of reduction in price due to lack of facilities - if I had know this at the time of booking I would not have booked to stay here at this time

My wife and her mother stayed one night and said It was like staying in a beautiful home. The staff were polite and attentive, especially the lady at reception who greeted them when they arrived and personally showed them to their room. Such a lovely touch. Also Matt, who looked after them at Breakfast so well on his first day. Breakfast was lovely, the room (Sandalwood) was comfy, clean and welcoming. Parking on site was free and convenient. They would highly recommend. The perfect place for a family occasion, for a quiet stay to chill and unwind or for visitors to the area a place to stay and explore from. In one word 'Fabulous!'

Not a dislike, but my wife did find the pillows personally a little too plump and therefore, uncomfortable.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Both bedroom and bathroom with plenty of space. Very comfortable bed. Great to be able to make a cuppa when we wanted with fresh milk and water in the communal fridge. Good choice for continental breakfast.

Lighting in our room was not great but the lightbulb was soon changed and that improved considerably. Lighting in other bedroom was fine. My mother would have liked to have had a brochure or postcard to take away with her to show her friends what the hotel was like as she doesn't use social media or a mobile phone.

We have stayed here before, as the location is very convenient as a stopover on our way home. We love the cosy, relaxed feel of the both the property and staff. It's like staying with old friends who know how to make you feel comfortable, but also how to give you space. The garden is beautiful too and the rooms have a classic but eclectic charm, a million miles away from corporate hotel chains. The food is fantastic...both dinner and breakfast are the epitome of great cooking with fresh, local ingredients.

Our only reservation is that the beds are doubles not king size.

Although we weren't provide with rooms that were near one another, thought was given to my husband's mobility issues and a ground floor room was provided - perfect! Breakfast was delicious and the room was beautiful - very spacious and lovely bathroom.

The only addition to improve our stay would have been a coffee machine in the room rather than instant coffee. We appreciated the fresh milk in the fridge though.

Nice room overlooking garden. Good food at dinner and breakfast. Lovely garden to walk around. Nice fields opposite to walk in

Parked under a large oak tree in the only remaining space and following morning car was covered in bird poo. Had to clean car using gardener's hose as windscreen was so disgusting and then get car cleaned when arrived home. WARNING-do not park under large tree to right hand side of hotel

Farthings is a great country hotel in the heart of Somerset. You will experience a true cosy cottage atmosphere warmed up by the wood burner and home made liquors and the most traditional with a twist cuisine served by professional and friendly staff. The rooms are really nicely furnished in true duck egg blue walls, floral curtains and wooden furniture over looking a true English garden. Everything about Farthings was perfect !

Nothing !

This is a beautiful hotel with stunning gardens. The evening meal and breakfast included lots of fresh local produce and were delicious. The staff were warm and relaxed. Our rooms were huge and my daughter's included a spiral staircase to the bathroom! Ours was modern and spotless and opened on to the garden. Close to the M5 and with an EV charger - would have liked to stay longer!

Liked it all.

This hotel offers refined luxury but with a lovely homely, cozy feel. It's a little bit quirky due to the age and location of the property, which makes it extremely charming. Everything is very good taste and I'm glad to say that there's not a horrible little UHT milk carton in sight. We adored the peacock, pea hens and guinea fowl who roam the grounds and in Summer it must be glorious to have a drink or two at one of the numerous tables set outside amongst the trees. The bed was sumptuously comfortable, although next time, we would book one of the rooms with a King-size bed, as that is what we are used to at home. The food is absolutely delicious. We had breakfast and dinner during our stay and both were exceptional. We would definitely love to come back.

We don't eat meat, which can be tricky, so always check the menus before we book a hotel. The sample menu on the website had several vegetarian options on the dinner menu, so we were a bit disappointed to see only one starter and one main course option on the night we dined. However, the lovely staff member who served us, did go to the kitchen and the chef offered a couple of extra veggie choices, but they felt like a bit an afterthought so we declined. This is nit-picking though, because the Mushroom Stroganoff we did order was so good that my husband used his dessert spoon to (noisily) scrape the extra sauce off the plate.
