"This was my third time staying at the hotel. It’s a good location with good links to Bridgewater, Western super mare and Taunton. Plenty of parking. The restaurant services a good selection of high quality food with plenty of choices as well as bar with an excellent selection of ales and ciders. The accessible rooms are a good size. Room 16 has a wet room with shower. There is only a hand rail. There is no shower seat and the toilet does not have any grab rails. The staff are very helpful and attentive. It was good to see the same staff as our previous stays last year. Looking forward to returning in the future."
