We stayed three nights an were very impressed indeed. The room was comfortable and bathroom spotless . The lady host was charming. The breakfast was superb. The lounge was spacious and full of tourist leaflets. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

We arrived tired and exhausted from travelling around the UK in not the most pleasant weather, but Ruth and George made us welcome with tea and cake on arrival and were most gracious hosts. The room was warm, elegant and well appointed and looked over the snow covered garden. Dinner on the first night was wonderful as was all the... More

What a find. One of the best guest houses we have ever stayed in. The food is brilliant, both dinner and breakfast, all thanks to Ruth and George Hardie. If you have an interewt in playing golf, you are spoilt for choice, give George a ring and he will be pleased to advize. Southmead is quiet and spotless:well furnished and... More

Several inches of snow nearly kept us away. We are so glad it did not. Everything about Southmead is first class including the varied breakfast options. Having arrived by a circuitous route we were warmly welcomed, provided with tea and shown to a lovely room overlooking the snow laden garden.

We were given a wonderful welcome by Ruth, who is very friendly and chatty and showed us round before offering us tea in the cosy guest sitting room. The tea came with delicious slices of homemade banana bread, which was a lovely surprise. Every area of... More

The room was very large and comfortable. It was also lovely and warm, given that the weather was very cold. The rooms that were for guests' use were spacious and comfortable and... More

We spent 2 nights as a family (2 adfults and 2 young children) at Southmead and were well looked after. Ruth was very friendly and helpful, the accommodation comfortable and no problems with the children. Breakfast particularly nice and nothing was too much trouble. Only thing perhaps to improve would be the showers which lacked pressure, otherwise pleased with our... More

The care and attention to detail is second to none. Ruth & George were unable to greet us on our arrival but Ruth had phoned us beforehand to let us know that a friend would be there to receive us. We were warmly welcomed and offered tea or coffee and biscuits and shown our rooms. We had booked all three... More
