We arrived quite late in the evening to be met by David standing in the doorway with his arms folded, a big grin and twinkly eyes! He pulled my leg and I pulled his and it just went on from there really....Great fun! The breakfast was probably the best I've ever had and the cakes, which appeared as if by... more

My husband and I were just looking for an overnight stay somewhere near Taunton. We were absolutely delighted to find this absolute gem of a B&B. It is set along a tiny country lane, well away from any sound of roads, and surrounded with woods and farmland. The 6 acres of landscaped gardens are a true delight, and beautifully maintained... more

The gardens and rooms are a delight, the food delicious and all with the best hospitality. Hartwood House is within twenty minutes walk through splendid woodland to Crowcombe Heathfield station and the adventure of a day trip to the seaside by steam train - what a different break! more

A wonderful welcome with tea and cakes on a huge patio overlooking spectacular gardens with many specimen trees and plants. We felt we were the personal guests of David & Rosemary, who attended to our every whim. A marvellous house with large, well-equipped guest rooms with magnicent views over the five acre grounds. Deep in the country where only the... more

I stayed at this bed and breakfast for three nights in May and found it to be an absolute delight. My hosts, David and Rosemary, were so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful and shared a wealth of information about the area - recommending local pubs for evening dining etc. Hartwood House is homely and tastefully decorated, with beautiful paintings by local... more

We were given tea and home-made cakes every afternoon when we arrived "home" after a day's activities, which added to our feeling special and well looked after by David and Rosemary. And their gardens are something else, so... more

I am writing this again as I cannot find the review I put in last week. Such a lovely welcome to a beautiful home and garden. Made so comfortable by the hosts that we have booked to go again next year. Lovely part of Somerset, lots of lovely gardens to visit and you can trust the advice given to you... more

From the delicious home made cakes and tea to greet us, to the hearty breakfast - jam or marmalade in dishes and proper pats of butter (no horrible plastic portion packs ) plus plenty of refills for tea or coffee. What a treat. The house is set in beautiful gardens in a quiet, rural spot. The bedroom was spacious and... more

After two weeks of driving around England, we spent our last two nights at Hartwood House. Wandering in their beautiful gardens, walking down the shady country lanes and relaxing under David and Rosemary/s gracious hospitality was a great way to wind down after our our memorable trip. I know that my next trip to England will include a stay at... more
