- david (8/5): Longbridge House - Beautiful room and building, with a lovely breakfast. The hosts were warm and welcoming. No fault of the hosts as their service was great but the town itself was tired with lots of the High Street establishments closed down.

- Daniel (10/5): Highly recommend. - The landlords where very welcoming and the breakfast was excellent. There was nothing we didn't like loved our experience there. Would highly recommend.
- Theresia (10/5): - Unser Zimmer war sehr schön, in einem uralten Haus, das liebevoll und gekonnt von dem Paar, das das B&B betreibt, saniert worden ist. Wir haben uns dort richtig wohl gefühlt und wir fanden es auch schön, immer wieder einer von den insgesamt fünf Katzen zu begegnen. Für Katzenallergiker wohl eher nichts.
Das Frühstück findet in der Küche der Besitzer statt, beide helfen zusammen, um den Gast wirklich alles zu bieten, was er will. Die 'poached eggs' macht niemand so perfekt wie Tanja. Es ergeben sich dabei auch nette Gespräche mit wertvollen Tipps für die Umgebung.
Das Auto kann man direkt vorm Haus parken. Wenn alle Zimmer belegt sind, dürfte es etwas eng werden, aber in der näheren Umgebung finden sich immer Stellplätze. Da gibt es nichts.
- Robert (8/5): Great Place For Sure - Sensational place Inconsiderate person with loud TV until 11.40pm

- David (10/5): This is one of those ‘gems’ you stumble on when trying to find a place to stay. The location is excellent for exploring - This is a fabulous ‘old’ house brought up to date sympathetically so the character isn’t lost. The room we stayed in was excellent, great sized bed, en-suite, plenty of room, tea / coffee - fresh milk etc. Very clean and quite frankly nothing even small to be critical of. Perfect base for exploring this part of Somerset. There’s nothing not to like.
