Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

Had no doubts that our second stay would be as good as our first and it was just as great. Only had 2 nights this time but still felt relaxed and so well catered for. The weather was superb - those 2 summer days in June. The great service, food and rooms are all down to the great hosts attention... More

“First time visit”

Booked direct with the hotel and was made to feel pamperde from the first conversation. All the previous five star ratings by clients were experienced by my wife and I. Wonderful hosts, great support staff, very intimate and sumptious accomodation with outstanding food and service. Lovely setting with great walks. Just the sort of place for a romantic weekend. Brilliant

“An excellent boutique country house hotel”

Reviewed 11 June 2013

We stayed 4 nights in late May/early June. We have stayed in many first class smaller hotels, which is the kind we prefer, and this is one of the very best. The rooms are individual. Ours was a medium priced one, large, comfortable and well fitted. The quality of the food is excellent and the menu changes nightly. The service... More

We stayed for a weekend at the Old Rectory at the end of May. Every aspect was perfect, including the weather! Sam and Huw, our welcoming hosts, should be justly proud of their hotel, situated by the SW coastal path.

“Wonderful!”

Reviewed 6 June 2013

Lovely hotel, beautiful gardens and excellent food! Dinner and breakfast were great, afternoon tea an extra treat. Watersmeet suite very nice with a really comfortable huge bed. Would definitely stay again and I'm not easily pleased!

We agree that a decent night's sleep, good food and a beautiful environment are all really important elements of a good hotel experience. We are delighted that, despite being hard to please, you thoroughly enjoyed your stay with us! Thank you for your review and we hope you will pop up from Taunton to see us again soon! More
