The Old Vicarage Hotel, Bridgwater

Advantages: Pool, sauna, jacuzzi, breafast, great rooms
Disadvantages: Parking tricky with large car, but at least they have a car park!

...The Old Vicarage is probably the best B&B I can ever remember staying at! They have plenty of off-road parking for guests, even if it does require a little manouvering if you have a larger car, everything else certainly makes up for that. The owners are extremely lovely, welcoming people and really make you feel at home. I love the fact they also let dogs in and that their own dogs are allowed around the house. The rooms are also stunning, wonderfully decorated with nice views and very comfortable and relaxing.

...If you are visiting around the Taunton area I can recommend the Walnut Tree Hotel in North Petherton which lies on the A38 between Taunton and Bridgwater. Like many village hotels it is a former coaching house that has been extended over the years to become a substantial hotel. During my recent stay I found the staff very helpful and attentive. The rooms are well above average size being spacious, light and clean. As well as the spacious en-suite there was tea and coffee making facilities for you to use. The décor was modern but perhaps in some areas getting close to a refit. One problem with a hotel like this is that refurbishments are often done piecemeal to avoid disruption to the capability of the hotel to receive guests. The consequences often are that the hotel has mixed decorative styles and this is apparent in parts... Read review
