- Jon (9/5): -
- Julie (10/5): Always want to come back! - Always clean and beautifully presented. Love the honesty shop, just in case!! I had to leave!
- Joseph (7/5): - In the middle of the country side
Nice welcome that Liz
Big room You can only arrive quite late (we were told from 4:30)
No free shower items provided as there is an honesty bar (we did 4 other B&b in the 2 weeks before and it was the only time there was no complementary shower items)
Compared to the other B&B we did, it was the most expensive night with no obvious added value
- Julie (10/5): I come back again and again! - Always beautifully clean and uncluttered. I had to leave!
- Claire (10/5): Perfect relaxing Somerset charm - Liz was so welcoming, the room is spacious and we love the character of the stone walls. Even in the heat the old building was cool and also well ventilated. Fabulous views and just a really relaxing space. Lovely fresh milk for in room drinks and the honesty bar, although not used is a great touch. We would definitely stay for more than one night when this way again.

- Sue (9/5): Lovely, very comfortable, quiet place to stay. Very helpful host who arranged to let us in early so we could get to an e - Lovely quiet location, beautiful wooden beams in the room, lovely bathroom with bath. Impressive garden. Didn’t use wine etc in fridge but good to know various things available if you forgot anything and an honesty box there. Would have preferred ‘what 3 words’ given in directions how to find it, as very easy to goalie using free app.

- Christina (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, gorgeously renovated and fantastic breakfast. We would certainly stay at The Old Dairy again.
- Christine (10/5): Liz and Steve great hosts and The Old Dairy is definitely a place to stay. - The Old Dairy is situated in a beautiful rural setting approached by very winding lanes approximately 10mg a from the A38. I received a very warm welcome from the owner. My room was very comfortable, extremely clean, linen and towels fantastic. Being away from main roads, the room was very quiet. Cooked breakfasts available although I had continental which was great. Tea and coffee available in bedroom. You can purchase drinks and snacks; an honesty box is provided and proceeds are for charity. The gardens are amazing as are the views across The Quantocks. Liz and Steve are approachable and extremely helpful…..super hosts. Thoroughly recommend a visit. The one small niggle is that there were not enough wardrobe hangers. It is important for visitors to have ample hanging space for their clothes. At least 10 hangers would be considered adequate.
- Kevin.bishop (10/5): Wonderful - Very comfortable and homely room. Great service and lovely breakfast. All surrounded by great views. I can't wait to visit again. Hmmmm...the weather? Only kidding!

- Lorraine (9/5): A night wasn't long enough. - The 4 poster bedroom is lovely. High beamed ceiling and a very comfortable bed. Fresh milk was provided plus the option to purchase reasonably priced snacks and wine (paid for into an honesty box). Nothing.

Liz is a wonderful host, who serves the best breakfast I've had at a b&b - homemade bread every day, and vegetarian options that actually taste great!! The room was characterful and comfy as well.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Old Dairy - The Old Dairy is run by a woman who was friendly and accommodating but her husband made us feel very unwelcome, both on the evening we arrived and again on the following morning. We felt like we were a nuisance, invading his home. Also our room had no lock on the door and the bathroom was down a public hallway.
The room was comfortable and the breakfast good but we wont be returning
