If there were half marks available, I would actually give this hotel 3.5 but as I think 3 is a bit mean. Firstly don't expect this to be Stately home converted into a hotel as this isn't, the house and grounds are predominantly used for lectures and conferences and they have some rooms as a way of making a bit...

Stayed at this hotel for wedding weekend of 08/09/12. Our room was lovely in the main house, room large with coffee and tea making facilities and flat screen television, one minor irritation was wardrobe a bit small, en suite small but serviceable. Wedding party took over hotel for weekend so we were able to see quite a few rooms, the... More

We had a fabulous stay in this wonderful house, our room was spacious and comfortable with the most amazing views. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and the staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Have already recommended to friends who are visiting Somerset.

Had great expectations for the Bed & Breakfast side of this hotel, beautiful location, stunning drive up to the house, nice receptionist with easy check-in but then.....the room was a huge let down, like something from a bad 70's horror movie. The bed was the most aweful thing in the room, hard, lumpy and a very, very old mattress. Its... More

We had a fabulous time at this amazing house. It is a really olde wolde house. One of the best breakfasts I have had in a hotel...really tasty. It is an odd place though run by the Council so doesn't come across as a hotel - but really should be something more. We stayed in the new part - not... More

They've got this down to a tee. You get all the splendour of a 16th Century handsome country pile that provides the backdrop to the estate and a modern accomodation block finished to a very high standard with none of the associated fustyness that you might expect. Each room has a small veranda that overlooks the rolling countryside and reminds... More

Dillington House is one of the few remaining residential study centres left in England. Run by the dynamic Wayne Bennett it also provides accomodation and meals for those not attending courses but its raison d'etre is to provide a range of stimulating and challenging courses in a lovely country house set in glorious parkland. The accomodation is luxurious, try the... More

This is an individual property which I believe is run by the local authority, You do not get the 24 hour reception and the restaurant does not open unless you ask in advance. Having said that - the service from the folks that work there is good on the whole. It runs as a conference centre, and as a budget... More

This is excellently run, endearingly welcoming and friendly and lacking the sterility of the big budget chains such as Travelodge (nearby) etc... And let's face it at £69 for a double room it's in the budget price range and for just £10 more you can get a superior room (in the modern Hyde block) which is very well appointed with... More

Stayed at Dillington whilst undertaking a course, so was interested to see the Reviews on the web for Dillington as a B & B experience in its own right. In its own right it cannot be faulted for superior accommodation, surroundings, views, tranquility and that "wow" factor. I can't think of anywhere else that I have had an early morning... More
