Recent Reviews in Ilminster

The Royal Ashton Town House

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient, friendly staff, good value."

The Dolphin

10/10 Excellent

"Upon arrival we were greeted and shown to our room, cannot fault her at all, very polite and kind. The room itself was lovely, nicely decorated, bigger than expected, nice bed(a little soft mattress for our liking but that’s personal preference). The room was generally clean other than a stain on the carpet and one on the bedside lamp. Bathroom was spotless. Was rather warm in the room but we were there during a heatwave and a fan was in the room already, maybe could have done with a thinner duvet. We ate there the first night, fish pie was really good so recommend that! Breakfast was pretty good too. Thought parking may be limited but we had no trouble parking at all. Staff were all really nice. Would certainly return."

The Royal Lion Hotel

8/10 Good

"We loved the location, everything a stones throw away. Our room was lovely , had everything we required. Breakfast was always very nice , and a good choice of fruit yogurt and cereals. Staff friendly, and the bonus of free parking definitely influenced our decision to stay at this hotel. No negatives we had a lovely time , and will definitely be back.."
