A very friendly welcome by receptionist with clear instructions and information. A very grand old place in its day, tastefully decorated. Room was on third floor but more like a suite as it was very spacious, but warm. …

Easily accessible from M5 and situated in the quaint town of Ilminster with its beautiful Minster. We had a beautiful room with a huge bed, and it was very quiet. Nice modern bathroom. Dinners were delicious and the staff friendly and helpful. Very good value too.

Stayed at the hotel back in September for a friend’s wedding, if I could give this place 6 stars I would! The staff were excellent, always happy to help. Our meals were exceptional! The wedding was beautiful all thanks to the team at the shrubbery.

I stayed for two nights with my dog. All of the staff made both of us really welcome. There was a wedding at the hotel whilst we were there so the staff were very busy. However they still found time to look after us extremely well. …

The meals in the restaurant were great, they were exceptional, as were the staff. The young lad in the restaurant needs more interpersonal training, ie, smiling and greeting customers. …

Hotel itself is in a good location with good food and a decent drink selection.The room was clean and modern however the water pressure is extremely poor as seen in the video. This was on full and barely a trickle with the thermostat set at 38.If you're looking at staying here avoid room 3!

Enjoyed our stay large bedroom and exceptionally comfortable bed. In places the interior could do with a bit of a paint.The staff that we met were very polite. Didn't have a evening meal there as the menu seamed rather limited. Also the breakfast was rather disappointing.
