Guest Reviews
- Roswihta (10/5): Lovely quiet comfortable room & excellent breakfast. - Beautifully refurbished with an eye for detail. Even had an Alexa in my room which was an unexpected bonus. Lots of plug sockets & recharging points. Lovely quiet room - excellent for light sleepers. Well done I loved my overnight stay & just wished I'd been able to stay longer! Maybe a small bar facility in the welcoming lounge area. Doesn't necessarily have to be manned as some provide this on a grace & favour method & just added on the bill.

Breakfast choices were amazing, which you order through a qr code, we went traditional full English and it was all great quality ingredients cooked to perfextion/ there is also a lovely lighter breakfast offering such as fresh yoghurt, fruits and cereals. Would not hesitate in booking this lovely hotel again. Everything was perfect
- Thompson (10/5): great facilities, great people, my go to venue now - all aspects were great nothing springs to mind
- Jezz (10/5): - Lovely house with well appointed room (room 4!). Breakfast was very good and made to order from the previous evening. The owners are welcoming and friendly and give great advice on where is good to eat locally and what is good to visit.
- Jakub (8/5): - The Watermead House is located in an easily accessible location and has a spacious car park just next to the building. Also I really enjoyed having breakfast in the conservatory - it was very pleasant. The washbasin in the bathroom was a bit small and hard to use, but I wouldn't consider that to be a major issue.
- Tanya (10/5): Fabulous - Very clean Freshly renovated Homely Fabulous hosts The best breakfast I’ve eaten in my Holiday
- Kate (9/5): -
- Stuart (10/5): A very nice place to stay - Excellent stay in a comfortable room with many useful facilities such as tea and coffee, including a nespresso machine, an Echo Dot, a good shower and a comfortable bed. Gary and Jamie were very welcoming and helpful with suggestions on where to visit and where to eat. Will stay there again.
- Kim (9/5): Interesting yellow property, inside and out. Even the car matches in colour. - Good pit stop on our way down south. Lovely clean refurbished property. Warm welcome,helpful friendly staff. Big car park. Good breakfast. Pillows a little hard
- Ian (10/5): -
- antony (8/5): -
- DAVE (8/5): - Warm welcome on arrival, everything explained. First time I have ever had to scan QR code to chose my breakfast but it wasn't an issue. The breakfast was very good and the WiFi also. Quite quiet as it is set back a little way from the main road and only 10 minutes walk to the centre. fair sized car park. No chair in the room and nowhere to work on the laptop. The walls are paper thin and I could hear every word from the next room. I had to knock on the wall and ask them to keep the noise down, finally got to sleep around 1am. The shower ran hot and cold, fluctuating quite a bit.
- Christopher (10/5): - This is such a lovely hotel. Really welcoming staff, comfortable, quiet room and close to shops and eating places in Chard. The breakfast was so good, cooked to order, really can't fault anything.
- Tim (9/5): Superb -
- Adam (10/5): Exceptional - The hosts were lovely, and the rooms were very clean.
- Amanda (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent place to stay for a night. Comfortable room and superb breakfast. 10am checkout was a little too early for us.
- Katrina (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely rooms, clean, good facilities. Very welcoming. Nothing all lovely
- Chris (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent breakfast Nothing
- Daniel (10/5): Fantastic place to stay while visiting the Chard area - Lovely, friendly place to stay. Excellent rooms and breakfast.
- Helenhlf (9/5): Superb - Jamie and Gary are nice and kind. Helped us call the taxi from Station to hotel when we were facing difficulty to getting the taxi. Rooms are big with beautiful view. Breakfast is good, sitting in a room with wonderful flower garden view.
- Louise (8/5): Very good - clean, good welcome
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely rooms and clean
- Renatas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mark (9/5): Great hosts and location, but top floor room was a struggle - Jamie and Gary were great hosts. The room was well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. We’re were there on a hot day but the supplied fan kept the room nicely cold. The view was tremendous. We were on the second floor which was only accessible via very steep stairs. We had a lot of kit with us, so getting everything to and from the room was a struggle. The ceiling height in the room was low at one side. Fortunately, my wife is petite and managed round that side of the bed okay. I would have struggled.
- Kellyanne (10/5): - This hotel is absolutely beautiful the owners are so friendly and welcoming the place is ever so clean the breakfast choices are amazing and the food is delicious will be going back there again soon the rooms are beautiful
- Karen (8/5): Good if slightly overpriced stopover - Spacious suite (upgraded!) with all new furnishings. Onsite parking. Hassle-free. Lots of breakfast choice. Nice staff and friendly atmosphere. Digital key system - personal preference but just seems a bit OTT and door closing is noisy. Breakfast coffee should be freshly made to order at this price point, I feel.
- Dawn (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent accommodations, hosts, and breakfast. Everything superb. Highly recommend!
- Helen (9/5): Welcoming and comfortable with all needs catered for - Personal touch from the owners and lots of little extras to make sure you are comfortable The attic room ceiling was a potential head hazard for getting around one side of the bed, but difficult to see how to arrange differently. Steep stairs ok for us but prior warning would be good just in case.
- Neil (10/5): My son and I were touring around on our motorcycles, staying at a number of bed and breakfast places, this was our last - Very clean, easy to find, excellent breakfast. Very friendly owners. Private parking Nothing
- Heidi (10/5): An extremely clean, comfortable and friendly stay. Highly recommend. - Extremely clean. Good location & parking facilities. Rooms were spacious for the combination that we booked for our party. Prebookable breakfast was a bonus, especially when we had an early start on the Sunday morning. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Would highly recommend if you want a good nights rest and a comfortable base for the surrounding area. Nothing
- Sam (9/5): Superb -
- Paul (9/5): Great Guesthouse - Upon arrival the owner warmly welcomed me there in the lounge area. Room had been pre-inspected before my check-in as the side lights in the room were already on. Bed and pillows were very comfortable, room was clean and well equipped as there was even a Nespresso coffee machine in my room! Surrounding area to my room was quite and heard no other guests. Plenty of free parking on site. The owners clearly make an effort in there hospitable approach to their guests. NOT the guest house issue but the area as my mobile when visiting Somerset has problems with internet connection generally, so the guest house system of scanning a QR code to pre-book breakfast had its issues.
- Robert (8/5): Very good -
- Michael (10/5): - Really nice hotel, very clean, good room facilities, excellent breakfast and very nice welcoming and friendly people. Will definitely stay again when in the area.
- Anna (10/5): Exceptional - Love it

Breakfast was really great, as was the welcome and the parking was easy to access. A lovely B&B The stairs to the room were quite steep so check which room you book if you don’t like steep stairs.
- Nigel (10/5): Great little hotel with charm and helpful owners - Excellent stay. Really friendly and helpful owners. Breakfast was great (poached eggs the best I've ever had). Really helpful with ideas of where to visit, what to see and where to eat. Couple of great recommendations for food. Location is right in the heart of this small town and with pubs and restaurants within a short stroll. Electric charging onsite is a bonus!! Highly recommended

- Martin (8/5): Very good - Convenient location, comfortable bed, very clean, comfortable easy chairs in the room, tasty breakfast. Tiny shower cubicle, tv location was not opposite the easy chairs, sloping roof and metal support bar meant great care had to be taken getting out of bed on one side.

- Tim (9/5): very attentive hosts, nice room, would definitely stay again. - Great breakfast, lovely sourdough. Well organised. nothing

- Vinicius (9/5): Superb - It was very expensive for the location.
- Hannah (8/5): Nice position in the High Street. Lots of parking space. Recommended. - This is an excellent small hotel. The breakfast was very good, and the staff attentive and efficient. My single room was the last one available. It was very clean but rather on the small side. I understand all the other rooms are much bigger.
- Alan (10/5): Exceptional -
- John (10/5): Fantastic - An excellent place to stay with a friendly welcoming couple that went out of their way to help.

Lots of attention to detail and can see they are continuing to invest in the property in the interest of providing a great experience for its guests.
