Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We are so impressed with this beautiful Bed and Breakfast. As a family of four, we had two rooms in a family suite with a double room, a twin bed room and a huge bathroom. Everything was very spacious and beautifully presented. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were a good temperature. We needed to book a slot for breakfast each morning but service is quick and half an hour is plenty of time. There is a good range of fruit, cereal, toast and baked goods to choose from in addition to the cooked breakfast that needs to be ordered in advance. The food was delicious. The staff were very professional and accommodating. We had access to a kitchenette for preparing packed lunches and we were able to use the dining room for eating takeaways in the evening. The grounds are vast and gorgeous. There are two lakes and lots of open field to walk around in addition to a large wooden play area.

Used my Clubcard vouchers on hotels website to pay for a nights stay here to break up the long journey to Cornwall. It’s a beautiful old building set in a scenic location and we had a pleasant overnight stay. Covid adaptations include hot breakfast served to your room which was delicious and great portion size. Cereal, toast and a new pancake machine were available to use in the main building. Our room was a family room which was really lovely and very spacious for 3 of us. We were in the farmhouse bit which also has a piano room with seated area. I’m sure you could easily spend a lovely few days here and would recommend.

We spent 2 nights and 3 days the room and facilities were immaculate, the staff were very friendly and professional. Our son and nephew loved the grounds which they got to play football on to their hearts content. The food was very fresh and delicious to quote our son the bacon melted in your mouth and our nephew the toast was like a delicious bagel dough (whatever that means 😂) the price for the location and facilities was extremely reasonable and we will most certainly be returning as a family and with our dog next time.

The cafe within the grounds was fantastic, lots of hot and cold drinks and food to choose from including all homemade cakes and pastries.

The local restaurants and pubs which were a very short drive 10 minutes if that were all fantastic and very family friendly

Not a hotel no reception.Dry stay no alcohol allowed although it’s not essential.
Rooms clean
Breakfast basic have to book your slot the night before very precisely no flexibility and order your cooked breakfast the night before (not flexible or leisurely like a break away from home should be .)
Paper cups at breakfast very odd as everything else is ceramic .
Pretty grounds

I stayed at your hotel just before the lockdown started, the place was pleasant enough, rooms were nice but no windows, didn't eat there and didn't want alcohol as i visited a local pub for food and drink. What bothers me is you ignore every persons comment about the cult ? are you associated to universal medicine or not ? straight question. If yes people deserve to know if they book a room with you they're putting money in the pocket of the crazy tennis player.

Unfortunately we had not been aware that this property was alcohol free - Doesn't appear in the main information on Booking.com or the accommodations own site, this needs to be near the top! We also later found out that this accommodation is the UK headquarters for what the Australian Supreme Court has ruled a socially damaging cult!! Perhaps Booking.com should review whether they advertise this place at all. I would not recommend staying here unless you have read up on the cult and are comfortable with their views and practices.

Some of there beliefs are reflected in there rules.

Response from lighthouse-uk, Owner at The Lighthouse
Responded 5 Jan 2020
We do communicate our no alcohol policy both on the website and in your confirmation details so its a shame that this did not come to your attention prior to your stay. In terms of the accommodation, we pride ourselves on providing the best possible experience for all our guests, and with the best service we know how so you can enjoy Longleat, some rest or for whatever other reason you have chosen to visit us and the local area.

Set in beautiful grounds. During covid the hot breakfast was served in cardboard box to your room, therefore missing out on cereal, nice coffee etc. The coffee in the room is terrible, breakfast sausage awful and dry. The driveway could do with better lighting, very dark at night and mirrors on exit/entry on the trees/gatepost would help to see other traffic. Nice large room. Ideal location for a visit to Longleat,. Very safe and secure and polite owners. I would use this hotel again

A very attractive and restful guest house venue - our room was tastefully decorated, very spacious, well equipped, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We were met with a very warm welcome and customer service was excellent. A tasty breakfast before leaving, followed by a stroll around the lovely parkland that the house sits in.
All in all, a perfect overnight stay. We look forward to returning very soon.

After booking a room here we discovered that this B&B is the HQ of Universal Medicine - a cult that pushes vile and discriminatory agendas against women, vulnerable and disabled people. They host bi annual conferences for the cult and own the swimming pool they advertise as being available to guests. Paying to stay in the B&B is funding this organisation we which weren’t prepared to do so we cancelled our booking. The owners do not mention this affiliation and it’s not shown on their website. People need to be aware of the campaign of hate they are funding by staying here. Googling Universal Medicine will tell you all you need to know with articles from BBC and The Times.

Very clean and comfortable small establishment set in the countryside. We had an accessible room which was ideal for a part-time wheelchair user (just a few steps to get to breakfast) and had a door direct to the car park. Staff were all very friendly and attentive. Good breakfast. There is a small teashop attached which has lovely fresh baked cakes. Very convenient for Longleat (about 10 minutes drive). We would be happy to re-book if we were in the area again.
