The vegan breakfast options were extensive, the staff were so helpful and kind to us. The room was super clean and the building itself felt magical. We ended up walking around the area and finding nice shops and cafe's as well as the market on Saturday.

The hotel was wonderful. It is clear that the 17th-century historic building is being maintained with great care and affection. The room was spotlessly clean, and I was able to spend a very comfortable time. The quality of the meals served at the restaurant was also extremely high, and I was very satisfied. I couldn't visit the adjacent Somerset Museum as it was closed, but I look forward to seeing it on my next visit.
