Had a lovely weekend stay here in November, the place is charming and has a lot of character. The room was large, clean , well furnished and there was everything you needed , I also loved the view and that you could look out and see the thatched roof . Check in was easy , all the staff we met over the weekend were very welcoming , friendly and helpful so it made you feel very relaxed. New management had just taken over when we stayed , I was really happy with stay here and would recommend it.
Room spotless.Bottle of water and a few biscuits would have been good. Shower needs attention. My offer included breakfast...the hotel does not do breakfast. Any refund for this?

Nice large room,comfy bed.
But very loud central heating boiler and only cereal and toast for breakfast when booking said English breakfast.
Thatched Cottage inn was exactly as we had expected. A lovely room with a large en-suite all very clean and ready for occupation. The towels were large and really soft. In the morning they offer continental breakfast only, with a good range of products to choose from.
Safe parking. Excellent staff. Friendly and helpful. Menu is excellent and value for money.
Beds comfortable and rooms clean with tea coffee facilities. Bathroom with large white fluffy towels and complementary shampoo conditioner shower gel.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Room clean and comfortable. Had a soundproof window so very quiet. Food exceptional.

The place had literally changed management that day so unfortunately there was no cooked breakfast (only continental) until Sunday when the Chef would be in. Also the dinner menu was changed temporarily because of the sudden change in management. However, the new management and team were amazing in the service provided. Dinner was excellent and there was enough at breakfast for us to be satisfied. Rooms were spotless with plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. Hot powerful shower with shampoo, shower gel, soap, etc provided. Comfortable bed and pillows. Dog friendly too.
Under new management and keen eager to please friendly staff. Executive beldroom of an excellent size and very comfortable.
Handily placed to use as base for travelling to surrounding areas.

Lovely inn to stay in with my two small dogs in way through to Devon - spacious immaculate room with separate bath and walk in shower, ample parking - soon to be hooked up for EV charging too! Friendly staff and good breakfast - what’s not to love!
Excellent room, good continental breakfast and welcoming staff.
Disappointing evening meal experience with multiple advertised aspects of the food and wine not available.
The room was large and clean and the nights were quiet and confortable. The staff were helpful and willing to adjust checkin and checkout times without imposing extra charges.
Restaurant times were limited, 1 hour for breakfast and no evening meal served Sunday night. Breakfast is included in the price, though the selection of food on offer for breakfast is a lot less than you would find at, say, premier inn.
So, in short, it is a small independent hotel and that has pros and cons.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Tired rooms need to be painted and wall paper either updated or restuck to walls.
Breakfast was limited and not ready at gje designated time.
Room was spacious and a good quality matress. Bathroom was large and clean.
The room was lovely, a huge en-suite with shower and a bath.
Comfortable mattress, quality bedding and towels.
We booked here because of the free parking and the full English breakfast included. However on arrival we read on the menu in our room that they only provide a continental breakfast.
Apparently the new owners, although having reopened 4 months ago have not changed the wording of the breakfast on their site or that of all the other booking sites.
So I was expecting bread rolls with a choice of ham and cheese, mixed fruit etc. but was underwhelmed at the offering which isn’t even continental….cereal, yoghurts and fruit juices. Although we were offered toast, hot drinks and croissants as well.
Also they appear to be short staffed as the bar was often left unattended while the barman ran around waiting on tables as well.
With a few tweaks this could be a great place to stay ie. more staff, especially on a Saturday evening and a cooked breakfast or at least honesty about the breakfast offering.
Its a bad review due to the poor staffing circumstances. We booked two nights B&B a few weeks ago. We arrived to be told the hotel had been bought the week before. A manager was down from London to oversee for the weekend. Our room was very nice and we had food on Saturday evening from a very limited menu completely different to the one we were expecting, which was very nice. We got up to a nice breakfast. We had to explain that we were not paying for it as we were staying bed and B&B. There was no breakfast menu, and the lady had started 2 days before. We had to ask for juice which she provided unsure what to do.
We went out for the day to a Christmas market and Frome. We returned to the hotel at 6pm completlely closed and in darkness. All staff had left and we were unsure if we were the only one's there. We heard music from one other room so, assumed it was a staff member or another guest?
We wanted food, so had tyo leave again to find somewhere. Luckily there was a chip shop down the road. We awoke to no breakfast. No staff. The other room were guests too on the way out. We agreed to leave after them and locked the front door. We posted the keys in a letterbox and left to look for breakfast.
All staff had left at 3pm and no more were returning until Wednesday. Why did no one tell us in the morning? I've never had to close up my own hotel after visiting!!

On arrival we could not check in due to no Internet connection... Not that big of a place, so why not have written back up..
Only one draught beer.
Perfunctory selection of Gin.. Not a lot of choice in liqueur.. No fresh orange.
It was a cold evening, 3°C...No heating in the bedroom.
This was the night before my husband's operation, we were tired on arrival and by this time we just wanted to go to bed.
On my return after dropping my husband at hospital the heating was still not on. On leaving to visit my husband I asked if someone could check the heating, plenty of hot water, just no heat.
Young gentleman behind bar said he would look into it... On return, key was given back to me, I asked about heating, was it fixed? No we are going to give you a portable heater???? So not put it in for my return!
A shame, staff are pleasant, actual place could be so good, lots of character but lacks the essential everyday needs for customers.

Very welcoming. Room clean. Bed very comfortable. Good parking. Very dog friendly except there is nowhere to walk them.
Breakfast disappointing as no hot drink with continental and no offer of more toast. Bathroom clean but somewhat dated.
