We stayed 2 nights 3 and 4 may. We were upgraded on arrival to a most beautiful room with a massive walk in shower for 2. Views from the room were really lovely. Food in the restaurant was nice on first night but they forgot our free bottle of wine which was part of the secret escapes package. On the... More

If you're looking for a spa retreat in Somerset try this! A beautiful property set in pretty grounds this offers a retreat close enough to the County Town but far enough away to be surrounded by countryside with far reaching views. The room we had was called Chedzoy. Very nicely decorated with a fabulously comfy bed! The bathroom was bright... More

Stayed at the Mount Somerset last March and had an excellant stay, we booked again to stay for our wedding anniversary ( May 9th). The hotel is lovely and the rooms are excellant ( well done to the house keeping staff, full marks) but the rest of the service was very poor. We stayed for two nights, dining each night... More

We went for a 2 night break booked through Secret Escapes in April 2013. The hotel, which I believe has been recently taken over and refurbished, was elegant and spacious, with an excellent position in the countryside about 3 miles from Taunton. Our room was superb. Very clean and beautifully furnished with lounge suite and TV, king-sized bed, and bathroom... More

Staff were very attentive, food was excellent. Rooms were to a very high standard. Booked through Secret Escapes and had a 53% discount which made the trip even better. Bed was massive with lovely thick crisp sheets. This is a top notch hotel.

This hotel is set on the edge of Taunton easy to get to and surrounded by countryside. We were welcomed and shown to our room which was a good size and well furnished although more attention could have been paid to deep cleaning. The headboard was very dusty at the top as were several edges of furniture. It was lovely... More

My friend and I took a Travelzoo voucher deal for a spa day here. The spa is small, but this didn't matter to us as we happily chatted with the other ladies who were also on the spa voucher day. We had lunch in the restaurant which was beautifully decorated with attentive and efficient staff. We had a beautifully presented... More

Hotel is in a lovely location, rooms are well appointed and beds are really comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. WiFi was a little unreliable/slow but just a minor irritation. I see there are a number of comments about the food/restaurant but as I didn't eat here I can't add anything.

Standing in a wonderful position overlooking Taunton in the near distance. Very comfortable and welcoming and priced accordingly. Restaurant extremely good, attentive staff and mouthwatering food (nouvelle cuisine portion sizes), unhurried with discreet service. Very good breakfast.

David and I thought we would finish our holiday fortnight with a visit to our favourite west country hotel (£225 a night b&b for a garden room). Not quite as welcoming as last time but ok. Different staff? We did not have dinner there as last time we thought it was overpriced. Breakfast was very good in the conservatory but... More
