I’m genuinely not sure how this place has got so many good reviews. Either people need their eyes testing, or their standards raising. Or both. Firstly, I only booked this hotel because myself and my wife had a voucher. I think if we were to get another, we’d sooner let it expire than stay here again. The best way I can describe it, is it’s the sort of place you wouldn’t be surprised, if you heard it had burned down. It really is the council house of hotels. I saw another review earlier which said it has the usual scummy feel of a Best Western, and I know exactly what they mean. The layout is peculiar to say the least, basic doesn’t even begin to describe the rooms, and the whole place is more than a bit, well, strange to be honest. Our room was tiny, you could feel every spring in the bed, and the pillows were as flat as pancakes. The bathroom was a similarly dreary affair, taps weren’t connected properly, the tiles were all over the place, and bizarrely the window had no windowsill. You know, like a prison cell. The towel rail was caked in dust, and like every other area of the hotel, we were met with a variety of interesting smells, none of which were particularly pleasant. I’ve never stayed anywhere before where the only place you could smell the swimming pool was once you were actually in it, and at no point before. Says a lot about the other fragrances in the establishment that they were managing to mask chlorine. That’s assuming they actually used any, of course. The unusual layout was evident nowhere more than in the leisure facility, where a 50 yard walk, through the reception area, a carpeted gym, and a fitness studio awaited anyone wishing to use the sauna or steam room. The sauna actually seemed ok but I struggled to stay in there for longer than 5 minutes, in fear that I would have to interrupt a Pilates class to make my escape. I did pop my head into the steam room on the trek back to the pool, but unsurprisingly it smelt like something had recently died in there, so I gave it a miss. The changing rooms were pants too. Pun intended. Finally, breakfast was just dreadful. If this hotel was to burn down, it certainly wouldn’t be the toaster that started it. The orange juice must be pumped in via a hose pipe, the mushrooms tasted like they’d been cooked in bath water and I think the sausages were made of asbestos. My only slight positive would be that the staff were reasonably upbeat, although I think even the receptionist knew he was kidding himself when he proclaimed that ‘we have a lovely hotel here’.

This was the perfect stop over place for us. The Old Manor House had everything you could possibly need for an overnight stay and even more that you wouldn’t have even expected. The welcome was lovely, the rooms very clean, tidy and comfortable. We had 2 children with us and the room set up was just perfect for us all. Even though it is positioned close to a main road, we couldn’t hear the traffic at all. The breakfast was exceptional with a fry up and other options available. It was so nice to try their home made jams and the gluten free options were vast. Nothing was too much trouble and we would have loved to stay longer.

La nostra stanza era grande e confortevole e si sentiva come se stesse al posto dei vostri nonni. La camera e l'appartamento erano senza spot e il letto era molto confortevole. Nero fuori camere così abbiamo dormito molto bene : ＞ La posizione è grande, 10 minuti a piedi da Axbridge e mezz'ora a Cheddar. Gli ospiti erano molto familiari con la storia di Axbridge, e ci sono gli omaggi storici sulle pareti. La colazione era deliziosa e riempita!

L'hotel nella zona di servizio ad alta velocità è adatto per un riposo di notte Anche se c'era un uomo, il fratello della reception ha dato una casa di famiglia. Il letto è più duro, ma è pulito. La colazione va alla zona di servizio, il cameriere è entusiasta e il cibo è vero e vero, e il champagne è secco
