Although all the staff are very pleasant at this hotel, I feel that I need to mitigate some of the reviews here, as all three of us found the price and the reviews misleading for the experience we had. The staff and the breakfast were very good. That’s where the good ended for us. The twin bedded and single rooms we were given, were very dated and ours had a smoky/musty smell. It wasn’t dirty, as such, but not to the standard of 4.5 star reviews and definitely not worth the money paid. The over bath shower lacked any pressure and the extractor made a horrendous noise whenever the bathroom light was turned on. The walls were thin and we could hear everything from our neighbours throughout the night.

We were very sad to hear your stay was not to your liking. The hotel has evolved over the last 100 years and the rooms are very varied, our twin rooms are of solid wall construction, if we had known the guests next door were being particularly noisy we would have addressed this. The bathroom fan has been replaced along with a new shower head. We have no control over the ratings on Tripadvisor, we achieve our score purely through customer satisfaction. We are also a 3 star AA hotel and inspected annually to maintain this rating. Prices will vary based on demand in the area. We do our utmost to ensure our guests enjoy their stay with us and we are sorry you didn't on this occasion.

If I stay at a hotel, I want and expect cleanliness and good food always - The Apple Tree Hotel delivers on these fronts and so much more. The hotel was spotlessly clean everywhere - love that. Simon is the perfect host, welcoming and engaging with a wealth of knowledge of the surrounding areas. He is also a fantastic chef and both our breakfasts and evening meal were first class and taken in the beautiful conservatory restaurant. I should also mention how lovely the other staff are also and this really made us feel relaxed and happy to be there. The Apple Tree is a great place to stay and ideal as a base point for exploring that part of the country. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the hotel and/or stay here again myself.

The owner and staff couldn’t be any more welcoming. Very friendly and helpful, going the extra mile to make sure everything was ok. The food was really good home made and tasty. The floorboards are a little creaky, but it’s completely what you would expect from a warm and homely, old, country B&B. I would definitely recommend for the atmosphere and friendly family feel. Thanks for a lovely welcoming stay.

Lovely welcoming comfortable hotel. Excellent food. Great location. Bed a little too firm for our liking and shower temperature but unpredictable. Would recommend for investigating Somerset and surrounding areas.

Went for a wedding at the Quantock lakes, if you’re not staying on site, this is a great place to be. The owner was so helpful and accommodating, he offered to drive us to the venue on the day of the wedding, make us a lovely breakfast too.

Excellent overnight stay. We were well looked after by Simon and his team. An excellent dinner, a good night sleep - room 9 is nice and quiet - with a good breakfast in the morning (unusually breakfast is served from 6:30am if you need to leave early).

Awful experience. Booked luxury 4 poster room and was a hi de bungalow with pine weird four poster. Cheap furniture and toiletries. Evening meal, which I left was dire . Tasteless things, not home made sauté potatoes and sole, are they joking? I live near Hastings and this was not fresh. Dreadful not home made cream sauce with cheap little pink prawns. They even had gammon with a tinned pineapple ring on on the menu Plastic flowers in hanging basket! Didn’t go to breakfast and someone tried the door. My husband then told me travellers had arrived! Loud music and washing on bushes. Another couple agreed with us. We are used to better and booked this due to reviews. Also I object to grotty loo brushes being near the loo so that my dress touched it. Forgot to say not fresh carrots which could be mashed. Avoid !…

First time staying at the Apple Tree Hotel whilst working in the area, I will definitely be back. I can’t recommend enough, Simon was lovely, nothing was too much trouble. The rooms feel like home from home and it’s in a beautiful location. I had both breakfast and evening meal, can’t fault the quality or the cooking as they were both fab. Think I’ve found my new favourite place to stay when I work in Bridgewater again 😊

Our daughter bought us a night as a treat. What a lovely place it is! Staff are so kind and helpful and food delicious. It is in a quiet location, our room had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The room faced onto a grassy area and we could watch and listen to the local wildlife, excellent!
