We have stayed several times with present and previous owners. This time we were disappointed, for similar reasons to those expressed by a previous correspondent as long ago as 2006.

What can one say except to say AYE to all previous reviews. Woodlands is run by Glenda and Peter Botes from Cape Town, where Peter has acquired tremendous experience in the hotel industry.

Nothing was... more

Woodlands Country House was a pleasure to stay in. After a lovely day in Cheddar gorge, which is really close, we were warmly welcomed by the owners and after a brief rest we had a superb cup of tea and scones with cream. Only regret not having more daylight to walk the wonderful fields around. After a really friendly glass... more
