I stayed here while attending Majma dance festival, and I know many dancers have their favourite hotels and guest houses which book up a year in advance. Meare Manor is often overlooked because it is out of town and the dancers want to walk from venue to venue. But I think its worth a five minute drive to be in the peace and quiet of the countryside and to feel so welcome. I did stay in town one year, and really wished I hadnt as the drama of the town centre (fights, music, police sirens) meant we had no sleep for two nights. That wont happen here !
This feels very much like a guest house - you are a guest of the owners. While it wasnt spotless, it was clean enough, and having someone welcome you home and ask you about your day is far more important to me. The house is full of history and has a whole character of its own, and the bedroom had quirks, which again felt very homely.
I would pick this over a soulless travel lodge anytime.
