    "An excellent hotel the staff were extremely efficient and the room was spotlessly clean, comfortable and well furnished" (107482483)

    I was impressed with the cleanliness and quality of the room

    "Main purpose was to visit West Somerset Rly Spring Event. Hotel within easy walking distance of Silk Mill park & ride facility to get to Bishops Lydeard and was good for this purpose. Would be pleased to stay again." (107525124)

    Had character. Good cooked breakfast. Convenient location. Good off road parking. Friendly owner/staff (including two dogs). In an interesting "village" area on NW outskirts of Taunton.

    Does not serve evening food and bar area quiet - however, the Old Inn on opposite side of road serves adequate "pub grub" and has OK beer. Other pubs, including more foodie ones, within reasonable walking distance. Shower was eccentric in operation, but ultimately served its purpose.

    Hotel was very clean and food was good(Breakfast) we were staying in Taunton to be with our son who was on a cricket tournament with Worcesterhire County so we found the hotel close to the venue as it was at Kings and in its favour very comfortable.

    "Although this hotel is nice, I wouldn't recommend staying there - only because it is quite far out of town in my opinion. The nightly rate was fine, but the cost of the stay increased as I had to spend almost " (97780243)

    Free Wi-Fi access

    It was too far out of town - Taunton.

  • 8/10 Robert ( Volwassen paar) 

    van Cheshire , GB  op  29 juli 2007

    "Ideally situated just outside Taunton in a small sleepy village. Just across the road from the pub. Room was clean and tidy, well appointed and modern good sized bathroom. Breakfast excellent. The bar never seemed to be open." (99259340)

    Old world charm.

    "Information on the bus service before travelling would have been useful." (99677744)

    Lovely old hotel. The bedroom decoration was in a country cottage style to a high standard. The gardens and patio area were very attractive. Owner and staff very welcoming and helpful.

    It is a disadvantage not being able to have an evening meal at the weekend although there was a nice pub opposite. Also while there was a bus into the town centre, it did not run in the evenings or on Sunday. It meant a lot of taxi rides as we travelled by public transport.

    "Excellent!" (99883293)

    The approach of the owner's wife who was pleasant friendly and happy to cook food as you wished it. Also the hotel's eclectic style - quite a gem in that respect

    The room was very dark - the only window was completely covered with creeper - a light would be needed even at midday - having said that the room and ensuite were very clean and comfortable - I guess this was the 'one night' room

  • 10/10 Gillian ( Volwassen paar) 

    van Christchurch , GB  op  13 juni 2007

    "It was everyting the website and reviews on that site said it was." (99377129)

    The bed was excellent, very comfortable. The staff had time to talk to the guests and were very helpful.

    The shower leaves a lot to be disired!! We gave up with it and took baths instead.

  • 10/10 Linda ( Solo zakenreiziger) 

    van East grinstead , GB  op  24 april 2007

    "Set in lovely village location, best if travelling in own transport as taxis in peak times are a little hard to obtain. Staff very helpful, rooms well equiped and very fresh and clean. The breakfast was wonderful." (99248820)

    Uniqueness, cleanliness and a breakfast to die for.

  • 9/10 Chloe ( Jong paar) 

    van London , United Kingdom;GB  op  6 maart 2007

    Homely atmosphere, very welcoming owner, nicely furnished rooms. Very good breakfast. Handy pub over the road. A good base to explore the surrounding countryside.

    Not the most powerful shower in the world.

  • 10/10 Penny ( Volwassen paar) 

    van St neots , United Kingdom;GB  op  21 februari 2007

    "This is everything anyone could want from a hotel. The hotel is an old (1600's) building which has been wonderfully utilised. There are stairs but they are shallow and there is a landing. Our room, although small, had a genuine half tester bed and the abundance of cream and white cushions really made it welcoming and luxurious. The bed was as comfortable as it promised to be and we did not hear any outside noise. I spent an hour sitting in the deep window seat enjoying my holiday novel. The tiny bathroom was fitted with top grade fittings and hand stencilled decoration. The room had tea and coffee making facilities and a small LCD television. We had our evening meal at the hotel and it was of top quality restaurant standard. I had the cheese souffl" (99027405)

    van Letterkenny , Ireland;IE  op  21 december 2006

    "The location set in a quiet village with a local pub across the road meant that one could choose to leave the car or travel the short distance of about 3 miles to Taunton where there was several excellent places for food and evening entertainment.Overall an excellent location with very friendly staff who created a most comfortable atmosphere. The Dandy Dinmont terriers were a added bonus to the experience." (99908962)

    An extremely comfortable atmosphere.

    "I picked this hotel from Actives Selection of hotels in Taunton,and was extremly pleased with my choice.This hotel has everything a traveller requires,clean rooms,great food,fantastic owners,and a very cosmopolition clientele,the night I stayed, there was about 4 different nationalities,who amazingly all got on very well in the well stocked bar.For those individuals who like good Scotch, this is the place to visit,I counted al least 100 varities in the bar.In summary this hotel is the Jewel Hotel in Somerset,and I will certainly return, with my wife and family." (3304370136)

    The accomadation was to a very high standard,I stay in Hotels 5nights a week,and this hotel was real value for money.

    There was no areas for improvement,this hotel is run to a very high standard,by its owners,who you should try and have a conversation with, very interesting couple.

    "I would have liked to have known how charming the Meryan House is. As it was I booked online and my wife and I were delighted when we arrived. Excellent village location close to Taunton and the beautiful Quantock hills. Fabulously clean, beautifully decorated, charming owners, great egg and bacon. My wife and I stay in hotels a lot. If you want a really charming English olde-world style place you won't get anything better than the Meryan House for similar money." (3304336334)

    Old fashioned atmosphere. Open fires. Excellent decor. Friendly and welcoming.Very romantic place, but also great if you are on business. Forget the Holiday Inn! Excellent value for money too.

    The web site does not do the hotel justice. Its better!

    Comfort, ambience and quality of furnishings

    The restuarant and bar were a little cold. Breakfast facilities for early morning leavers could be improved upon.

    "There were no cats but I would like to have known that. The hotel did have two dogs, which were fine but I couldn't have stayed there if there had been cats." (2866452)

    Friendly, comfortable - food quite good, especially the breakfast

    Better bread for toast, but not a major thing

    breakfast to run slightly later as we couldn't get a table efore 9.30 anyway.

    "Very pleasant and enjoyable stay made very welcome on arrival" (2695679)

    The old world feel about the place the view of the Quantock hills

    Breakfast menu needs perhaps to be a little more varied would have been nice to have one or two alternatives to the english breakfast eg Haddoch & poached egg I know people can ask but there was nothing to indicate that a change to the menu was possible.

  • 8/10 Roger ( Ander) 

    van Brighton , United Kingdom;GB  op  29 september 2005

    "The paved gardens were very pleasant to walk in and as my room was at the rear it was quiet. Breakfast was excellent. The internet site could show internal shots and not just the exterior view of the front - delightful as it is." (2779353)

    Friendly, cosy not stark.

    The car park was a tad 'crowded'. Perhaps fewer spaces would aid manoeuvring. Ground floor toilets could be extended as there were insufficient facilities when a function is being held.

    "This really was an excellent hotel, with a wonderful atmosphere. The quality of the breakfast and accomodation was superb. The only thing we would like to have known in advance is when the restaurant was open." (2634336)

    An excellent room with very friendly and professional staff in a relaxed atmosphere. The bathroom was excellent.

    It would have been appropriate if we had been informed in advance that the restaurant would not be open on the night we stayed.

    van Headcorn , United Kingdom;GB  op  14 september 2005

    "PERHAPS THE MENU FOR THE EVENING MEAL COULD BE DISPLAYED OR BE PUT INTHE ROOM. THE EASY ALTERNATIVE IS TO GO ACROSS THE ROAD TO THE PUB WHICH I AM SURE IS NOT WHAT THE HOTEL WANT. I WAS INTERESTED IN THE HOTEL HISTORY, INCLUDING THE PRIEST HOLE FIND ETC. A BRIEF HISTORY TO READ WOULD BE OF GENERAL INTEREST. ROOM VERY COMFORTABLE ESPECIALLY AS I PREFER CHARACTER TO MARBLE AND SHINY CHROME. IF THE MEETING I ATTENDE IS SUCCESSFUL I LOOOK FORWARD TO A RETURN" (2714428)

    Clean hotel, full of genuine old character. Excellent breakfast and friendly service

We were made to feel very welcome - the accommodation was excellent, decor very good, rooms incredibly clean. Could not find fault with anything here." (2512128)

    Friendliness of owner and warm welcome. Incredible clean and well maintained hotel. Quaint little area with quiet walks. Excellent suggestions by owner for tourist venues to visit (and great directions.
