I loved the place. It was clean, quiet, and spacious. The bathroom was really bigger than I expected with a big tub which was really nice. The staff were really nice as well. The room also had a mini fridge which I haven't seen in many hotels or inns. It was a great experience.

Quite, clean and comfortable little hotel right in the middle of Yeovil, fairly priced, would definitely stay again.I am a little confused why they've chosen to name it "the keep" and decorate it with suits of armour when it appears to be a coach house, but ignoring that, I enjoyed my stay.Can't really comment on service as there was no one there when I arrived, or when I left! But instructions on how to check in worked a treat

We had a lovely stay at the Keep. The staff are very helpful and kind and the rooms are pleasant and comfortable. Breakfast was 10/10 and we would definitely return and recommend. The hotel is central to Yeovil and close to shops and restaurants.

Excellent hotel in Yeovil centre. Extremely clean. Rooms were so lovely with fridge, microwave and even plates and cultlery. Lots of hangars for clothes. Breakfast was everything you could think of - pastries, cereal, fruit, toast and of course full English. Staff friendly at all times. Thank you 🙏

I will start with the downside of my whole experience: bear in mind that there are only about 7 parking spaces in the hotel's car park. …
