Recent Reviews in Thornford

The Frampton Arms

8/10 Good

"The room was well presented,very calm decor in room 5, Aircon worked well , as we had unusually warm weather for late September, hadn't appreciated how close to the train line we were ,bit minimal sound from it . Good size TV and ample coffees and teas ...no biscuits tho 😉 , maybe a bottle of water in the room would be a nice addition. . Bedding was fresh and clean ,but found the mattress quite firm for me . Bathroom good size and lovely powerful shower with good size cubicle. Dinner was delicious 😋, and reasonably priced. Breakfast was included in the cost of the room and was of the continental kind ,but enough choice and we left full. Staff were efficient both in check in and at Dinner and Breakfast. Garden are looked very smart but only stayed one night so didn't get to sit out there."

Montigo Resorts, Somerset

10/10 Excellent

"Very good hotel Clean"

The Crossways

10/10 Excellent

"I attended a wake at the Crossways hotel. The staff were very professional and helpful I was in room 120. Very spacious and tastefully decorated. A big comfatable bed a large shower . The outside bar area was a bonus with great views towards the Glastonbury Tor . Breakfast was good with cakes and pastries plus a well presented full english . One slight problem of the shower thermostat not giving more than luke warm water but i magine that is fixed now. Only a brief stop but would return again"

George Albert Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We are always very impressed with our stays at the George Albert Hotel. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the rooms comfortable and well appointed and the price is VFM. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in that area now."

The Warehouse

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable room, great location, easy parking. It was a little difficult to find but luckily a staff member was available."

Best Western Shaftesbury The Royal Chase Hotel

8/10 Good

"Breakfast very good"

The Manor Hotel by Greene King Inns

8/10 Good

"Clean and comfortable room including the bed! Very useful stop off on the way to Cornwall"

Market House

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, friendly staff and everything maintained to a high standard. The breakfast was great and in a lovely setting. The only issue I had was I couldn’t connect to the WIFI when I needed to as the code wasn’t in the visitor guide. It simply said speak to a member of staff if you are having trouble, but it was too late for that and unfortunately this is a far greater inconvenience that maybe it should be. But such is the world we live in. This is, however, surely a very simple fix. In any case, I do plan on staying here again on a regular basis, needing to stay in Glastonbury at least once per month for the foreseeable future. I will just make sure I get connected during check in moving forward and that’s the one tip I would give to others, as that small hiccup aside, you couldn’t ask for a nicer place reasonably priced."

The Duchess of Cornwall Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Large room, good quality fittings, comfortable bed"
