"Great nights sleep, great welcome on front desk"
Lovely welcome from the front desk which was a great start. Corridors & rooms all need some tlc but were clean & had everything we needed, I had a great nights sleep! I paid £43 so in all honesty wasn't expecting much. Restaurant/terrace looks great but didn't eat there.
Dear Lisa, Thank you for your review. I'm pleased our reception team gave you such a warm welcome and that you enjoyed a great night's sleep. We've noted your comments about the rooms and corridors, and it's good to hear you found everything clean and equipped with what you needed. We hope to welcome you back soon, perhaps with a chance to try our restaurant next time. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Good value comfortable hotel in a great location"
A comfortable hotel in a lovely location, Dinner and Breakfast in the restaurant was good, our room which was an executive double was well furnished and clean. Nice terrace to sit out in and have a drink on a sunny evening. Staff friendly and efficient and prompt to attend to any issues. Plenty of parking availble with 4 charge points.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're delighted you found your stay comfortable and good value, and enjoyed your executive room, meals in the restaurant and a drink on the terrace. Your kind comments about our team and their prompt assistance are much appreciated. We hope to welcome you back soon. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Disappointing stay at the webbington ‘spa' hotel"
The staff were lovely and the ground floor of the hotel was really pretty, but to call it a spa hotel is a stretch. The swimming pool is really grotty and in need of repair and around the edge were 4 hard wooden beds not at all inviting! We were informed that the sauna and steam room were at the opposite end of the building, so you have to walk through in your swimwear. There is no jacuzzi and absolutely no atmosphere at all. Definitely do not come here expecting any kind of luxury!! We had massages with Emily at the wellness at the webbington which is separate they were incredible. We ate in the restaurant,again the staff were lovely but the food was pretty terrible and no presentation, not worth the money.
Thank you for your feedback and your kind comments about our staff and Emily's treatments. Our leisure facilities include a swimming pool, sauna and steam room. We do not advertise a jacuzzi. While we appreciate that the layout and seating may not suit everyone's preferences, we do not share your overall assessment of the facilities. I'm sorry your restaurant meal did not meet your expectations, and your comments have been noted for review with the team. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Wedding venue"
We chose the Webbington as our wedding venue. The location was excellent, the staff were amazing & couldn't do enough for us & our guests. The Wedding packages were very good value & the wedding co ordinator, Scarlett was friendly & very well organised. It was a very humid weekend but fans were available on request. The wedding breakfast had a varied choice & was delicious, everyone had a great time & those that stayed over had a very comfortable stay, we had lots of positive compliments & had the most amazing day with fantastic memories to look back on. Thankyou ☺️
Thank you for choosing the Webbington for your wedding and for sharing such lovely feedback. We're delighted you and your guests enjoyed the food, accommodation and celebrations. Scarlett and the team will be especially pleased to hear your kind words. It was a pleasure to be part of your special day, and we wish you both every happiness for the future. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group

Your kind comments will be shared with Scarlett, the duty manager and the wider team, who will be thrilled to know they helped make your special day even more memorable. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. We wish you both every happiness for your future together. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Not happy with the room"
Booked a superior room through Expedia. Pictures showed nice large rooms with wooden beams and another with a large balcony and on Expedia it stated that superior rooms had fireplaces. Was expecting to get what was advertised. Went to reception and queried our room and they started our room was superior and the largest of their rooms. Thoroughly disappointed to be honest.
Thank you for your feedback. The photographs shown on Expedia are representative of our different rooms, as their individual features and layouts vary. Any specific room requests can be sent to our team before arrival, and we will always do our best to accommodate them. We are sorry that your stay did not live up to expectations. Please contact us directly if you would consider returning, and we would be pleased to offer you a reduced rate. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Great stay, lovely staff."
Me and my girlfriend stayed earlier this week and were happy with our visit! Staff were lovely and really helpful with any questions or issues. Room was on the smaller side for the money but it was last minute so as to be expected, very clean. Old school hotel, Great pool. Very central location to cheddar gorge and other nice places to visit.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're delighted that you both enjoyed your stay and found the team friendly and helpful. It's also great to hear that the room was spotlessly clean and that you enjoyed our pool and convenient location for exploring Cheddar Gorge and the surrounding area. We appreciate your comments regarding the room size and hope to welcome you both back again soon. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Overpriced AND Poor Service"
To start with, it was extremely difficult to get to this hotel. Also, one of the roads outside the hotel was closed during my three nights stay so I ended up spending extra time and fuel to get in and out of the hotel however there was absolutely no assistance from the hotel regarding the easiest & shortest alternative way; I must have driven at least extra 30 miles and spent additional 45 minutes unnecessarily. What a waste of my precious time. There are no lifts at this hotel and there are steps everywhere, EVERYWHERE! OK fine I understand it is an old building but there is not even a tiny bit of a ramp at the main entrance to reception. How does this hotel expect guests to carry heavy luggage around when no lifts and steps everywhere? Absolutely ridiculous. During check-in I put my membership card down on the counter but this was completed ignored. Receptionist told me I'd booked bed only and if I wanted to add breakfast. But when I asked only to add breakfast for one person, she said to pay in the morning at the restaurant. I had to insist on adding it to my bill but she was reluctant. Absolutely weird. I paid in full when I checked in but was told to wait until check out to have the invoice. What a waste of my precious time. I booked a “Superior Room” but there is absolutely nothing superior or “executive” (term used by receptionist) about it. Fair enough the room is slightly bigger and had two more chairs in the room, but there is still only just one standard sized bed and a tiny desk. There is a shower but no bath; shower gel and shampoo were half empty. I struggle to understand the description of “superior” room or “executive” room. Drain in the shower did not work, how unhygienic. Informed reception about the blocked drain in the first night but it was not fixed, then in the morning I told another receptionist who said she was going to “write it down” when I already informed her colleague the night before! And it was still not fixed when we returned in the evening! Both the room door and bathroom door did not close properly and you have to really push and even slam them in order to shut the doors, this created a lot of noise every time. Then after your hard effort shutting the doors, more effort was needed to open the doors. How stupid. It was one of the hottest weekends but fans were not provided in the room. Went to reception to borrow same fans but was told that all the fans were out. Surely you either have enough fans in every single room at the hotel OR you treat the “executive rooms” as priority since these rooms cost a lot more and already nothing executive about them. Hair dryer had seen better days. It didn't work properly and smelt of burnt plastic when switched on. And I had to borrow iron from the hotel. Surely there would be an iron and an ironing board in the “Executive Room”. Room was not cleaned the first day despite having already requested housekeeping on the form when I checked in. When I complained to receptionist, she asked if I placed the “clean the room” sign on the door when I had already requested upon check in! Then I asked receptionist if I could just have a top up of things but she just asked “what do you need” when I'd already told her the room had not been serviced! However even after I had to spell out the things I wanted, I still had to go back to request again as not everything was brought to me; she even questioned me “Did xyz not bring you xyz?”, as if I lied! Then the 2nd day housekeeping only left one set of towels when there were two of us in the room, so once again I had to go to reception to ask for additional towels; but again receptionist questioned me “are they not in the cupboard?”. Every time when I went to reception to request something that was not done, every single one of them questioned me first in stead of just did what I asked. Housekeeping did do the room the 2nd day but left ALL the dirty glasses in the room and did not replace soap. The “clean” towels that I had to request from reception had big old brown stains. Disgusting! Slow service both in the restaurant and the bar. And very expensive. Flies everywhere. Tried to find out about the spa service. Hotel reception said to either phone the spa or go to the spa reception. As we were already at the hotel so we went down to the spa reception to find out how to make an appointment, but then was told to ring the spa to make an appointment when we were actually at the spa desk! How ridiculous!!! Again, when we complained to the hotel reception about the spa, it was just full of excuses like “it's run by third party”. Third party or not, the hotel should not have a spa on site if they do not want customers. Breakfast pastries not topped up. Butter looked like it was from the previous day. Coffee sachets had been opened and put back. I had already paid for breakfast for one person for the three days. As I made the complaint, I was told I could have one (yes, just ONE, as in one of the days) breakfast free of charge. But when we went for breakfast the last morning, we were told at the restaurant that there was no record of two breakfasts (although one of the breakfasts had already been paid for when I checked in). When I complained to the hotel manager about it, instead of apologising, I was asked (yap, I was questioned again!) “but you didn't have to pay, did you?” No, I did NOT have to pay because I told the girl I would speak with the manager when the girl at the restaurant could have just called the manager to check. When I checked out I told another manager I was not happy with my stay at the hotel but she asked “oh what happened” when the other manager was there who knew everything about the complaints. I requested a refund but was told they could not do anything at the hotel as it had to be dealt with “by the head office. What's the point in having managers on site when they can't make decisions? I was then told if I left them with my email address, someone from the head office would be in touch. However, the email I received appeared to come from the hotel and not from the head office. The email also incorrectly stated that free breakfasts were given to me as way of apology. It was only ONE free breakfast for ONE person and for ONE day as I had already paid for breakfast for one person for three days. The email also said they would like to “offer “ (a meagre) 10% refund to apologise for the “inconvenience”. However 12 months on, I still am waiting for this tiny tiny amount of refund when they should have given me at least one night's money back when I requested at check-out. Disgusting. Another “Best” Western to avoid.
Thank you for sharing such an exceptionally detailed account of your stay; almost 12 months later, which was somewhat unexpected. Your extensive use of words certainly leaves us in no doubt as to your feelings, and I may even take a few pointers for expanding my own vocabulary. There are concerns within your review that we absolutely take on board. A blocked shower drain, difficult doors, a faulty hairdryer, incomplete housekeeping, towel marks and problems surrounding breakfast should all have been handled better. I am genuinely sorry for these failures and for the frustration caused by repeatedly having to approach reception. That said, not every inconvenience described can reasonably be attributed to the hotel. We are sorry that an external road closure extended your journey. While a helicopter service would certainly avoid this problem, regrettably it is not currently practical. We contact guests about local closures when we are notified, but we cannot monitor every road beyond the hotel's immediate area. Following your stay, we responded and made a goodwill offer. We do not appear to have received any further contact advising that the refund remained outstanding. Had you contacted us during the intervening year, we would of course have checked this promptly. We accept the genuine shortcomings and will take those points on board. Equally, we feel it is important to provide some balance where expectations extended beyond what the hotel could reasonably control or provide. Nevertheless, I am sorry that your stay failed to meet expectations. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Iconic hotel gives top quality service"
We stayed at this iconic hotel near the M5 in South West of the UK. Driven past loads of times and always wanted to stay here. Finally managed it. Lovely hotel, great spa (especially the steam room and pool). Good food. Great family size room too.
"one of the best places i have stayed."
Beautiful building and grounds, very clean. Beautiful views, very peaceful. Facilities were great, fantastic pool. rooms were very clean and comfortable, best night sleep i have had in a long time. Great value for money. Breakfast fantastic choices available , would suit everyone. Staff so polite and friendly.
"Worst fish finger sandwich ever!"
Called for lunch on a beautiful sunny day. Service at the bar was extremely slow due to only one staff on. Drinks were fine. Ordered a fish finger sandwich, plus chips and onion rings. The fish fingers were utterly dreadful. The worst I have ever tasted. No white fish visible in them at all. Just a fishy brown sludge. After 2 mouthfuls I left it. The chips and onion rings were ok. I would have complained, but we never saw the staff member again. Such a shame for a nice location. Would never eat there again
Thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry that both the service and the fish finger sandwich fell well below the standard you should expect from us. We would appreciate the opportunity to review your visit properly and make things right. Please email the hotel directly with the date and approximate time of your visit so we can investigate and respond personally. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Comfortable & enjoyable stay at this hotel."
Found this wonderful hotel online with Best Western website due excellent leisure facilities. Comfortable bedroom with nice shower & coffee with biscuits being stocked up daily by housekeeping for our 2 days stay with my son. The breakfast was wonderful except ordered smoked haddock which was so small to eat ! Great views from the hotel terrace. Would be happy to return to this hotel in the future.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are delighted you and your son enjoyed a comfortable stay, particularly the leisure facilities, breakfast and wonderful views from the terrace. We appreciate your feedback regarding the smoked haddock portion and will share this with our kitchen team. It is great to hear that you would happily return, and we look forward to welcoming you both back in the future. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Beautiful terrace and view although mattress uncomfortable"
Stayed here one night for work. The pool was lovely during the heatwave, although one of the sun loungers was broken. There is a beautiful terrace with an amazing view. The food at dinner was good. The staff were helpful and friendly. The gym looked spacious with lots of equipment. My room was very hot when I arrived and there was no fan or water in the room, although this was provided to me when I asked. The bed wasn't comfortable - I could feel the springs in the mattress and woke up feeling sore. Overall the room was no frills with only the bare minimum provided e.g just shower gel in the bathroom. The breakfast buffet was also quite basic. I would not describe this as a luxury hotel but it was ok.
"Not a "Weekend of Relaxation", poorly ran, avoid any Latona Leisure hotel."
Note: For transparency I removed the original review as there was an untrue/defamatory comment left in the response by the hotel group which when I raised with them had no response or apology. Ironically this was left after I had an email from them, that felt rather threatening, when I mentioned I was leaving a review. The frustration of dealing with someone who does not listen to a customer, even when presented with clear evidence, is disappointing, even more so when the reply to the review from the hotel accepts all of the points being made as true and they still refuse to refund the money paid. The original review is below. This is advertised as a Spa Hotel, which by its very name implies a relaxing venue. Furthermore the BW booking page promises that you can “Enjoy a weekend of relaxation” and you'll be “living in the lap of luxury…….. so put your feet up and relax” This is what you CAN'T do at this hotel if there is a wedding being held, and what's more (as accepted by the hotel,) they do not make this clear that an event will be on for the time you are due to stay there, or even that there MAY be an event. There is no mention of weddings at all on their email to inform you. (And before the hotel respond and say “it's on the website”, if you book through the BW webpage on a mobile phone you can book a room and not see a single word about “wedding” anywhere.) This isn't the first negative review about a wedding party being held at this hotel and it won't be the last. (Look back to April/May this year when the hotel accepted there was an issue, said they would “share for review” with the hotel and clearly haven't as I've had the same experience.) I also expect a potentially aggressive response from the hotel management below as they don't appear to like negative feedback. Some of the other responses about 1 point reviews I think also speaks volumes. The wedding guests monopolise the restaurant, the bar and the outdoor space as they do not have their own managed area (talking of “managed” I didn't see a single member of staff managing the party in the several hours that I witnessed the event). The noise from the event space carries to the rooms and after the event, noise continued till gone 2am. Apparently there is a night porter on duty (we were told reception was vacated by 10pm however,) but the night porter clearly didn't check the wedding guests had returned back to their rooms or just allowed them to sit in a small courtyard till 1am right outside the bedrooms making a very loud, drunken noise….. oh and the internal phones don't work to call reception either as I found out when the room hadn't been left with clean towels. (This isn't a gripe at the wedding at all as I'm sure the hotel have “sold” them the opposite experience of what was advertised for normal hotel guests.) The response back from the hotel group has been extremely disappointing, they haven't listened to the issues raised and went immediately on the defensive and trying to put the blame on me for not having read the emails or the website…… but as noted above there is no mention of weddings via either email or during booking. It took several emails for them to read and accept this just on its own. Then offering and spending time justifying a 20% discount rather than engaging and understanding a customer's complaint says it all. (This is part of the Latona Leisure Group so you'll receive the same poor service from any of these hotels if things go wrong.) Yes, the hotel is tired, it's definitely not “living in the lap of luxury” and that on its own is enough to raise complaints for some, but if you can't have a decent night's sleep at a hotel, which is its main purpose after all, because events are not managed then they really have failed at a basic level. Beautiful views but please, stay somewhere else!
Hi David, thank you for updating your review. I am sorry that your stay did not provide the relaxing experience you expected. As explained in my original response, I recognise that certain aspects could have been managed better. Having reviewed the correspondence you provided, the function information was not clearly identified, and the wording used within booking confirmations have no been amended with Best Western. Your comments regarding late noise, the use of outside areas, overnight contact and the internal telephone system have also been shared with the hotel management to review. For clarity, I would also like to correct one point from my previous response. Your TripAdvisor review uses capital letters for emphasis, but I incorrectly referred to this when commenting on what I considered the demanding nature of our email correspondence. Your emails did not use capital letters in that way, and I should have separated those two points more clearly. This was a genuine mistake, and I apologise for that specific error. I do not accept that my subsequent email was intended to threaten or discourage you from leaving a review. You are entitled to share your experience. However, we are equally entitled to respond and clarify any statements that we believe do not fairly reflect the circumstances or our correspondence. We have not accepted every point within your review as fact, nor did we agree that a full refund was proportionate. A goodwill refund was offered following our review, and our position regarding this remains unchanged. The Webbington Hotel & Spa, welcomes wedding parties, leisure guests and residents visiting for many different purposes. We genuinely endeavour to manage these groups alongside one another, although preventing all crossover can be challenging during particularly busy & hot periods. Nevertheless, the areas identified within your feedback have been discussed at the highest level within our organisation and we have implemented changes for the better. For anyone reading this exchange, I hope our response demonstrates that we are willing to hold our hands up when aspects have not gone to plan and to correct our own errors. Equally, this does not mean that we agree with every statement made or believe that a full refund was warranted. We have sought to reach a fair and proportionate position after considering both the guest's experience and the information available to us. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Overnight business trip"
My guys tell me it is a nice hotel . They were happy with the rooms , the food and the location. Only small thing was rooms were too hot but it was during a heat wave 😀
Thank you for the great review. We are pleased your team enjoyed the rooms, food and location. It certainly was a very hot week, but we are glad they still had a comfortable stay. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group

Hi David, I am sorry that your stay did not provide the relaxing experience you expected. We have corresponded directly regarding this matter, and I do accept that there are points here which require review. Webbington Hotel is a popular venue for weddings and events, and while we do try to manage these alongside our resident guests, it is clear from your comments that the event impacted your stay. The very warm weather and doors being left open for ventilation may also have allowed noise to travel further than usual, and this has been reviewed with the hotel team. We have received previous feedback regarding event noise, and this was shared with the hotel team for review at the time. Your comments have highlighted that we still need to improve how this is managed and communicated, particularly during warmer weather. I also accept your comments regarding the clarity of information provided through confirmation emails and the Best Western mobile booking journey. This is something we were not fully aware of, and we are now reviewing the wording across our booking platforms to make sure event information is clearer for guests before arrival. I am sorry that you found our direct correspondence disappointing, as that was never my intention. However, I do feel it is important to be transparent that the increasingly confrontational and demanding tone made it more difficult to maintain a constructive exchange. We really do endeavour to operate weddings and functions alongside our resident guests as carefully as possible. I accept that, at busy periods, there can be challenges in avoiding some cross over, and your feedback has highlighted areas where we need to improve how this is managed and communicated. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Another wonderful stay at this lovely hotell"
Another wonderful stay at this lovely hotel..it truly is a lovely old hotel, my partner affectionately calls it the squeaky stairs hotel. It is a hidden gem of a place. The staff are lovely, big mention for Kat and the hotel manager for our latest stay...we were lucky to catch Kat before she went on holiday...she is so friendly she makes you feel like family.. nothing is too much trouble for them and our room was wonderful...food was excellent too...we cannot recommend highly enough..try as you wont be disappointed
Thank you for such a lovely review and for continuing to return to Webbington Hotel. We are delighted you enjoy the character of the hotel, squeaky stairs included. Kat and the team will really appreciate your kind comments, and it is great to hear you enjoyed both your room and the food. We look forward to welcoming you both back again soon. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Lovely charming hotel"
This is a charming hotel, full of character and unique touches. We stayed for three nights and found it ideally located for exploring the surrounding area. We enjoyed a meal in the restaurant, which was excellent, and breakfast was also very good, with high-quality options. The pool area was lovely—clean, spacious, and relaxing. The terrace was a great spot to sit with a drink; although you could just glimpse the motorway in the distance, it was completely peaceful with no noise at all. The staff were very helpful in all areas of the hotel. We will be back again sometime.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are really pleased you enjoyed your three night stay with us and found the hotel charming, peaceful and full of character. It is great to hear you enjoyed the restaurant, breakfast, pool area and terrace, as well as the helpful service from our team. We look forward to welcoming you back again sometime. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Lovely staff. Lovely staff. Just the hotel needs to be updated and the breakfast improved ."
We had driven passed this hotel when on the M5 and thought we would investigate. Lovely location. It is pretty but it is by a motorway (so don't expect peace it that is what you are looking for!) The staff are superb, especially the young lady at the front desk. That is it. Oh. And watch out of the massive pothole at the entrance to the drive. The 'cosy' rooms ARE cosy and reminded me of rooms in Torquay..... a bit lacking in quality. Bed was comfortable but the room was basic (more £50 a night, not over £100). The bar food looked average and the buffet breakfast was awful; the bacon was particularly inedible. We left our plates. But again, the staff in the restaurant were brilliant. The pool was lovely but although we adhered to the 6 adult rule and booked in at reception, this did not seem to apply to all. Yes, there are a lot of steps up and down: it's an old building which has been extended . They are manageable but you need to be aware of them
Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear you found our team superb and enjoyed the location and pool. We have noted your comments regarding the room and breakfast, which will be reviewed with the relevant teams. Our cosy rooms are smaller by nature, although we appreciate your feedback on value and quality. Regarding the pothole at the entrance, this is already being acted on. Our contractor has confirmed a repair date, although unfortunately this was not during your stay. As an older building, there are steps in certain areas, so we do always encourage guests to contact us directly if accessibility is a concern. Thank you again for your feedback. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Lovely weekend"
Lovely weekend here for my fiancé's birthday. The room (superior double) was spacious, very comfy superking bed, with a lovely bathroom. Staff were all very nice, especially Kat on reception, lovely lady who couldn't do enough for us. Will definitely be returning 😌
"Great Hotel, in great surroundings."
Couldn't fault our stay, staff were great and friendly, room was lovely and spacious. Used the spa facilities, which is advisory to prebook- great Pool. Breakfast was really good and plentiful. Hotel is in a lovely countryside surroundings. Only downside no air-conditioning or fan in the room. No issues with noise, as previous reviews have mentioned and we stayed on a Saturday night! Had a meal at The Brewers Arms in Banford which I would highly recommend 👌
"Lovely, relaxing stay"
Lovely experience. Great room upgrade. Delicious Korean burger and breakfast. Friendly reception, bar and waiting staff. Great value with my little discount for coming regularly
"Really nice stay"
The location is a bit out of Weston(15 min drive) but it's in a lovely location. The views are really nice. The hotel its self is well looked after and has that old traditional look about it. The staff were friendly and helpful. Has a lovely restaurant and bar. Does have a spa but we did not use that. The bed was really comfortable and the room was clean and tidy. The shower was nice and powerful. Could do with tvs with catchup tv. My daughter loved the hot chocolate and biscuits that were left with the kettle.
"Dreadful treatment of neuro-diversity"
This is a rarity for me. A negative review. It is to do with the hotel's treatment of a neuro-diverse person. The issue started with a faulty fire exit door (which had possibly been broken for a while, and was immediately attended to) in the spa area. The initial attitude was along the lines of what business was it of mine :-(. As due to my neuro-diversity I prefer communication in writing I wrote a note detailing my concern about the fire exit (they should be checked each morning). The manager asked to speak to me about it but I repeated that a reply was needed in writing. They told me unless I gave an email, it would not be dealt with. I repeated that other companies respect this. The manager ignored this to the point at which I began to shake and my friend led me away. This was an awful way to treat neurodiversity. Training of the team I believe is needed.
Thank you for your review. For readers, we do not agree with the version of events described here. The matter was checked personally, including the comments made regarding the fire exit, and we are satisfied the hotel acted appropriately. The guest has also contacted the fire inspector directly, who has confirmed they are satisfied with the arrangements in place. We are always happy to deal with genuine concerns, It is disappointing to see serious accusations made online which do not reflect our findings after review. Guest safety remains a priority, and we will continue to follow the correct procedures. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Well worth it"
Staff are lovely and friendly..interior of hotel is to a high standard food excellent Our room was spotless but at the back just a view of roof top but we get this coz we had a dog. Well worth the money..thank you.
"Good overnight stay."
Lovely room, food good and staff friendly and helpful. Great location.
Thanks for your great feedback. Regards Jamie
"Don't bother"
The receptionist was very helpful and welcoming. The rest of the staff were abysmal. The food wasn't worth the price and our drinks order was just plain wrong. Don't bother with the trek go somewhere else.
Thank you for your feedback Fiona. I am pleased you found our receptionist helpful and welcoming. It is disappointing that none of the concerns regarding service, food or drinks were mentioned during your visit, as the team would have had the chance to look into this at the time. Having reviewed the tone of this review alongside your previous reviews, it does appear that many businesses have had quite a challenge meeting your expectations. That said, your comments will be shared with the team. Our location is enjoyed by many guests, although clearly on this occasion both the trek and the visit failed to lift your mood. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Wonderful visit"
I attended my friend's wedding. The lounge and bar area were lovely spaces and the terrace with a beautiful vista was wonderful. The Garden Suite was perfect for the wedding reception and all staff were warm, friendly and attentive to the wedding party. Our room was clean and well equipped. Breakfast was perfect and ample. I'd definitely return.
Thank you for your great review Jamie
"Great stay"
Had a great stay, room was good, quiet, clean, excellent view. Shower was hot. The pool was a nice extra and we booked in for an hour with no problems. Food was good, both breakfast and in the restaurant. The grounds were lovely to walk around. Staff very helpful Plenty of parking Definitely worth the price with our blue light discount too - will absolutely book again when in the area
Thanks for there great review, we're so pleased we ticked all the boxes for you! Jamie
"wedding stay over"
Stayed here for a wedding. The room was a good size with a lovely view overlooking the countryside. Great size bed and super comfy. You could sit up in bed and see across to Brent Knoll. The food for the reception and breakfast was of good quality and quantity with plenty of choices.
Thank you for your lovely review. We look forward to your return. Jamie
"Familes"
Attend my moms wedding and stayed 2 nights. 1st night was horrendous as they had booked us in a room right opposite a venue with a wedding on till midnight with loud music and we had a 4 year old child who was part off a wedding the next day so not much sleep. 2nd moved us to a lovely quite room perfect. The swimming pool was out off use which was disappointing as only found out the day before when we tried to book a slot. Scarlett the wedding planner was amazing cant fault her at all,was a pleasure to meet and so glad she was their for my mom & her partner and all she did for them thank you
Dear Guest, Thank you for your review. I'm sorry your first night was disturbed, especially with your little one needing to be up for the wedding the following day. I'm glad the room move helped and that your second night was much more comfortable. The pool had to close unexpectedly due to maintenance, so I'm sorry this was not available during your stay. Thank you for your lovely comments about Scarlett. I'll make sure these are passed on to her. I hope your mum and her partner had a fantastic wedding day. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Functional"
The location is good for visiting cheddar gorge, wookey hole and the very many 'hippy' shop's in Glastonbury. The staff at the hotel were all very friendly and helpful but the hotel itself is tired. The hotel has loads of steps. Not just in quantity but in weird places. At one point I opened a door and there were 2 small steps immediately on the other side. On another corridor was one random step. The floor around the pool is extremely slippy. I would not recommend this hotel for anyone with mobility challenges or poor vision. Our room was a standard double in the courtyard section. Nice big bed but you could feel springs in certain places. No fridge, no iron and no hairdryer. Overall quite dated decor side but it was clean and smelt fresh. Toiletries comprised of 1 small bar of hand soap and refillable shampoo and showed gel attached to the wall which were more empty than full. Plastic disposable cups by sink and a single toilet roll. Just felt quite skimpy. There is traffic noise as the motorway is close by but it's not loud enough to disturb. The walls are very thin. Could hear guests in the next room talking and make out what was being said. The bath had multiple grey round 'dents' in it. I question if someone had been smoking in the bathroom and stubbing out their ciggies in the empty bath! Which leads me to say that the smoke detector in our room had been tampered with. Someone had covered it with a plastic bag / sheet / shower cap and fixed the plastic in place with a hairband. Once reported to reception it was dealt with quickly but this should have been picked up on before we checked in. Its unsafe. Likewise, a member of staff had to climb onto the table outside to put the sunshade up. Please find another way to handle this rather than endangering your staff. We didn't eat in the restaurant for dinner as the bad reviews put us off. We had breakfast which was ok but not that great. Very limited choice of items. Was nice to grab a drink and sit outside on the terrace. Nice views. Used the pool but highly recommend going when it's adults only if you actually want to swim. It's very small . Steam room is not located by the pool. You have to walk through the gym reception, then through the gym out to a back room. Felt like an afterthought. Calling it a spa is an exaggeration. Overall its fine for a 1 or 2 night stay because of the handy location. I'd suggest finding a promo code online if you can. The staff is excellent and were very helpful. It was good to have free parking. Remember it is a bit out of the way so if you want dinner outside you will have to drive and the roads are country roads, so much more tolerable in the summer months. I wouldn't recommend people rush to stay here but I wouldn't tell them not to. Hence describing it as functional!
Thank you for your review. We are pleased you found the hotel well located for exploring Somerset, enjoyed the terrace views and free parking, and found our staff friendly and helpful throughout your stay. The Webbington is a characterful country hotel rather than a modern purpose built property, and its layout does include steps and different levels. Our team are always happy to advise guests on suitable rooms before booking where access is a concern. Our leisure facilities, including the pool, steam room and large gym, are enjoyed by many of our guests. We offer family swimming times as well as adult only sessions, so guests can choose the experience that suits them best. The concern raised regarding the item in your room was taken seriously and addressed immediately once reported. We are pleased you otherwise found the room clean and fresh. It is disappointing that you decided not to dine in our restaurant based on other reviews rather than your own experience. Many guests enjoy dining with us during their stay, and it is difficult to fairly assess the restaurant without having visited it. For guests looking for welcoming service, leisure facilities, countryside views and a convenient base for visiting the local area, the Webbington remains a very popular choice. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Good but needs a refurbish."
The hotel staff were very welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. The view is lovely and we enjoyed the pool. The room was clean but very small, I think it was a bit expensive for the size/quality. The hotel seems to need a refurbish, you can feel the springs in couches (in the bar) and the bed. The walls are very thin so you can hear others talking in the hallway and other adjoining rooms.
"Good stay, great staff, awful food!"
We enjoyed a nice family catch-up weekend here, which we actually really liked. Yes, the hotel is a little dated, and the rooms could use a refurb, but I have to say the staff here are amazing and really make your stay great, so well done to you all! Now onto the downside, and you will see it in many other reviews, the food isn't great, it's dated, old-fashioned, poorly presented, not great quality, and expensive. If you were alive in the 1980's, then you will recognise many of the dishes, they look exactly as they did back then. If this were brought up to date and presented better, then it would really help. We ate here the first night, and honestly, as someone who has worked in many kitchen roles, it was awful! There are plenty of better places to eat nearby. I'd recommend The White Hart Inn & Cross Brewery 5 mins down the road. Given the previous reviews of the food im amazed that they still haven't changed things.
"Pleasant Hotel"
Very quiet and off the main road location. Atmosphere was fine but very quiet.The room was very small as a single but adequate. for the price it was good value for money. it was clean and pleasant but a slight noise problem due to the floorboards creeping and people moving about late at night. The staff were wonderful and very friendly and attentive. There was a leisure centre which was very quiet and seems under used.
"Exceptional wedding venue with outstanding staff, service and attention to detail"
We had our wedding at The Webbington Hotel & Spa and honestly it couldn't have been more perfect. My husband and I had spent our anniversary there every year for the past 8 years ( with the exception of lockdown), so it already held a very special place for us and it truly felt like the natural choice for our wedding after we visited the Wedding fayre in 2025. From the very beginning, Miro and Scarlett were absolutely fantastic. They listened carefully to what we wanted and guided us through every stage of planning. Scarlett in particular was brilliant at breaking everything down for us step by step, helping us make decisions that suited both our vision and our budget. Nothing ever felt rushed or overwhelming and we always felt supported. Throughout the lead-up a few months before the big day, Scarlett was always responsive and reassuring whenever we had questions. On the day itself she was incredible, fully involved from start to finish, guiding us exactly where we needed to be, updating us constantly and making sure we felt calm and looked after. She even walked us down to meet the registrars and ensured everything ran smoothly without us having to worry about a thing - huge thank you for that Scarlett :) The day itself was seamless. The ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception were all in different parts of the hotel and everything flowed perfectly. The staff were professional, friendly and genuinely cared about making the day special for us and our guests. The food was another highlight. we received so many compliments about the wedding breakfast and the evening BBQ buffet was amazing with plenty of food and great quality. The hotel also offers incredible views, beautiful grounds and a real sense of occasion. We genuinely felt like VIPs throughout the day. Nothing was ever too much trouble for the team and it was clear that Miro and Scarlett and the whole team at the Webbington truly cared about making everything perfect for us. What made it even more meaningful for us is that we have built a long-standing relationship with the hotel over the years by booking for our anniversaries. Because we had been so well looked after during our annual anniversary stays, we already knew how special the service was which is why we chose to get married here. We have even already booked our first anniversary return for 2027. This is more than just a hotel and Spa ( to us its such a special place). The grounds, the views, the food and the staff are all incredible. We cannot thank the team enough for helping create such an unforgettable wedding day. Thank you to you all. D & S xxx
"I would not go back."
Very disappointing stay. There were multiple issues throughout our stay. The TV in our room was not working on arrival, was briefly fixed, and then failed again later that evening. The food in the restaurant was very disappointing - the chicken pasta looked and tasted like slop on a plate while the steak was largely inedible due to fat and gristle. Although a partial refund was applied at the time, it did not reflect the fact that most of the meal could not be eaten. The most disruptive issue was noise. Our room was located near a wedding party, and from around 5am there was significant disturbance from guests in the corridor and adjacent rooms, followed by children running and shouting - not helped by the one inch gap under the door . As a result, we had very little sleep. In the morning, we were also unable to have a proper hot shower, as the water was only lukewarm. While the hotel did offer a 20% refund after the stay, this does not fully reflect the overall impact of the issues experienced. The combination of poor room facilities, substandard food, and lack of sleep made for a very disappointing visit. We hope the hotel takes this feedback on board, particularly around room allocation during events and maintaining basic standards in both accommodation and dining.
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to read that your stay left you feeling so disappointed. I appreciate you taking the time to set out the issues experienced, particularly around the TV, meal, noise disturbance and shower temperature. A refund was applied in the restaurant at the time, and a further 20% goodwill refund was offered following your later comments. I understand this does not change how you felt about the stay, but I do hope it showed that your feedback was taken seriously. Your comments regarding room allocation during events, dining standards and room maintenance have been shared with the team for review. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Perfect hotel"
Absolutely amazing hotel the room the food the customer service are secind to none , just perfect
Thank you for your wonderful review. I am delighted to read that you had such a perfect stay with us and that the room, food and customer service all stood out so positively. Your kind comments mean a great deal to the team, and we hope to welcome you back to Webbington again soon. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Quirky and charming"
Quirky and charming, a stay at this hotel should be on everybody's bucket list. In response to some previous comments, it's true that there isn't a lift but if you're ok with your stairs at home this won't be a problem. Our room was very atmospheric with wood panelling over the fireplace (and it was spotlessly clean). We stayed to break our journey to Cornwall but will definitely be returning for a longer stop.
Thank you for your lovely review. I am delighted you enjoyed the quirky charm of the hotel and that your room was spotless and full of character. It is great to read your comments about the stairs too, as our period layout is part of the building's personality. We are very pleased you chose us to break your journey to Cornwall, and even better to hear you plan to return for a longer stay. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Recommend"
I often stay at the Webbington on business, its is a characterful hotel, attentive staff, good food and drink and a lot to fill your evening with as hotel guests have use of the gym, pool, spa
Thank you for your recommendation and for continuing to choose the Webbington when travelling on business. I am pleased you enjoy the character of the hotel, the attentive team, food and drink, and the leisure facilities. It is always great to hear that guests are able to make the most of the gym, pool and spa during their stay. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"A mixed trip down memory lane"
A mixed review I'm afraid. I last stayed at the Webbington as a child 45 years ago when my father was the owner, so it was a trip down memory lane for me following his recent passing. My partner and I stayed in the original house along with our small dog. The hotel room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom was fresh and well maintained. As this was classed as an Executive room I was surprised that there was not even a complementary drink on arrival or a bottle of water in the room. Being told that there was a 20 GBP charge per day for my dog created some expectation that there would be a bowl , small bed in the room . however there was nothing , not even dog treats in reception or in the room.. so the 60 gbp charge for the 3 nights seemed way over the top. We have stayed in several "dog friendly" hotels and the least they offered were treats , towels for cleaning paws and a water bowl. The hotel itself has retained its character and the addition of the pool and gym is a plus. The pool was well maintained and the gym well stocked with good equipment. We were told that our dog was not allowed in the restaurant which was not that unusual but to have to lay our own table in the bar in order to have our breakfast was not something I would have expected. The breakfast is average and not well stocked when supplies ran low. The surrounding areas are lovely and we visited Cleveden , Cheddar and WSM. Overall it was an enjoyable weekend. The hotel is nice , staff friendly , just disappointed by the extra charge for the dog with no benefits at all. Also seeing as there is a gap in the history of the hotel re the ownership in the 1980s I would have thought that management might have wanted to chat to me about my father and the time he owned the hotel but noone seemed interested..
Thank you for your review and for choosing to return to the Webbington for such a personal trip down memory lane. I am pleased you found the room clean and comfortable, enjoyed the character of the hotel, and made use of the pool and gym facilities. I am sorry if it came across that the team were not interested in your family connection to the hotel. I would personally be very keen to learn more about your father's time here, and I am sure many of the team would be too. It may simply have been a misunderstanding, but I do appreciate how disappointing that must have felt given the reason for your visit. Thank you also for your comments regarding the dog charge. Our dog friendly package has only been in place for around a month, so feedback like this is helpful as we continue to develop what is included and how this is presented to guests. We are glad you still had an enjoyable weekend overall, and we do hope to welcome you back again. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Webbington hotel "
Great stay, lovely hotel. Great staff, friendly polite and professional. Only downside so many steps. Not disable friendly.
"Thank you for the most fantastic stay"
Our stay at the hotel was delightful; the room was charming, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, even sharing insights into the hotel's history. The leisure facilities were fantastic, featuring a spacious gym. I particularly enjoyed the swimming pool, which was at a lovely temperature, and the steam room. Breakfast was both delicious and flavorful, and I truly appreciated the scenic views surrounding the hotel. I really happy that I chose the hotel im really looking forward to staying again thank you to all the staff who made our stay wonderful and friendly the cleaning was really clean when we walk and tidy
Thank you for your wonderful review. We are delighted you had such a fantastic stay at Webbington and that you enjoyed the character of the hotel, the friendly team, the leisure facilities, swimming pool, steam room and breakfast. It is also lovely to hear the team shared some of the hotel's history with you, and that the room was clean, tidy and welcoming on arrival. Your kind words mean a great deal, and we look forward to welcoming you back again. Kind regards, Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Great staff, shame about the rest"
Lovely location, super attemtive staff, relaxing atmosphere Evening meals ordered, food was disappointing, bland Two rooms booked. The shower in one room oy trickled, shower in the other room had build up of limescale or similar which made the handle operaion difficult Curtains not wide enough to cover window in one of the rooms The Staff deserve better from the hotel owner, as their professionalism has saved a disasterous rating
Thank you for your kind words about the team. I am especially pleased to read this, as our staff work incredibly hard and have a very close relationship with the hotel owners, so the service they provide really does come from a place of genuine care and pride in the hotel. We are sorry to read that your stay did not fully meet expectations. As these concerns were not raised with us during your visit, we were unaware of the issues at the time and were not given the opportunity to look into them there and then. Please contact us, at [email protected] so we can better understand your experience and review how we may be able to put things right. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Poor experience"
From the moment we arrived, the experience fell far below expectations. We had booked a standard double room specifically to avoid being placed in a smaller, more confined space. Instead, we were initially given a room that was extremely small, with sloped ceilings and a tiny window, creating a claustrophobic and uncomfortable environment. This room did not resemble what is advertised as a standard double in any way. When we raised this with reception, we were told the hotel was nearly fully booked and the only alternative was a “small double.” However, upon viewing it, this room was noticeably larger and more suitable than the one we had originally been given. This left us feeling misled and forced into accepting a lower-category room despite having paid for better. The justification that “the property is a period property so all rooms differ” is not a valid excuse, as the room we were initially given, should not have been labeled as a “standard double” in the first place. The evening only deteriorated further during dinner. We had been looking forward to a relaxing meal, particularly given personal circumstances that made this break important to us. Initially, the setting was calm and enjoyable. However, this was completely disrupted by the arrival of a large party who were excessively loud, constantly moving around, dragging furniture, and dominating the space. While I appreciate that large groups cannot always be avoided, the complete lack of management and communication was inexcusable. This group was clearly prioritised, receiving immediate service and having causal chit chat with the servers, while other guests (ourselves included) were effectively ignored. We waited over an hour with no check-ins, no updates, and no acknowledgment of the disruption around us. It was evident that this was not an isolated frustration. Other diners were visibly unhappy, one couple waited an excessive amount of time just to have plates cleared, while others were left waiting equally long for food. When our meals finally arrived, there was no apology whatsoever. The food itself was unacceptable. My meal was cold, and my partner's was so poor he did not eat it at all. When this was raised with management, the response was dismissive and defensive. Rather than listening, we were told we “had not been waiting that long,” which was simply untrue and could have easily been verified by the CCTV which we gave them permission to look at. The justification that the large group had pre-ordered only further highlighted poor planning. If the restaurant was aware of this booking, steps should have been taken to manage expectations or inform other guests. None of this was done. Even after agreeing to remove the cost of the meals, this was handled incorrectly, and we were still charged more than we should have been. As a result, we had to leave and find food elsewhere, completely defeating the purpose of dining at the hotel. Unfortunately, the issues did not end there. The overnight experience was equally unacceptable. Persistent noise from the room above continued for hours, followed by early morning disturbances from guests shouting, whistling, knocking on doors, and children running through corridors well before 7am. This made it impossible to rest and demonstrated a complete lack of control over guest behaviour and basic standards of comfort. Again, the justification that “the property is a period property so it will have creaks and noises” is again not a valid excuse as the average person can deal with the odd creak and squeak but not when it is going on consistently for hours and hours in the middle of the night. To be clear, I recognise that not every issue, whether it be noisy guests or busy service periods, can be entirely prevented. However, what is within their control is how these situations are managed. In this case, they were handled extremely poorly at every stage. There was no communication, no accountability, and no meaningful attempt to resolve problems as they arose. Overall, this stay was defined not just by the issues themselves, but by the consistently inadequate and dismissive way they were dealt with. From the incorrect room, to the chaotic and poorly managed dining experience, to the unacceptable noise levels overnight, every aspect fell short. After our stay, I tried to resolve things over email, but this only made matters worse. After just two emails, I was told my messages were “threatening and aggressive,” which is simply not true. They then refused to continue communicating and offered just £20 as a resolution. I found this response completely dismissive and unprofessional. I have since spoken with my personal solicitor, who confirmed that my emails were neither aggressive nor threatening. Cutting off communication so abruptly under these circumstances feels extremely questionable and only adds to the overall poor handling of this situation.
For readers, this review is not a fair or balanced account of what took place. The claim that other guests were prioritised over this booking is simply incorrect, and the follow up correspondence was closed only after provocative and threatening language was used unless a full refund was given. A goodwill gesture was still offered, but that was refused. We are always happy to consider fair and reasonable feedback, but this was not a case where the claims made were accepted as presented. As business owners themselves, we would have hoped for a more measured and honest reflection of the stay, rather than an exaggerated narrative designed to pressure an outcome. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Excellent"
We had a party at the Webbington recently. The venue was perfect- good size room which catered for over 100 people. Plenty of parking, a nice bar area and balcony. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. Very happy with the service and venue.
Thank you for your excellent review. We are so pleased to hear the Webbington worked so well for your party and that the venue, bar area, balcony and parking all helped make the event a success. It is especially great to read that our team looked after you so well throughout. We really appreciate your kind comments and hope to welcome you back again for another special occasion. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Terrible, wouldn't recommend."
Good location, atmosphere poor, facilities poor, rooms poor, wouldn't spend the money. Very old run down and rickety hotel that creaks with every step. Its dark and cold but doesn't carry any charm due to the staff and general upkeep. The hotel is dirty - car park full of dirty bins, pot holes and even the welcome sign is so dirty you couldn't read it. Check in was brief, expected to lug our cases around with no lift, no offer for support and find our rooms. The hotel is poorly signed so ended up taking many wrong turns and getting lost. When eventually finding our room, the door had about 4 different locks, some dismantled so it didnt close properly and we didnt feel secure. The room was dirty, with cobwebs over windows and in the chandelier (there was also a spider which the boyfriend tackled) the painting /decorating of the room was really bad, it felt like someone had started to decorate and stopped half way through. There was dust ingrained in the carpets, dirty on the radiators and we had a very unkempt and run down balcony which had cigarette buts from the last guest still in the ashtray. The spa shut at 7pm so we didnt really get much time here, the lockers/changing room needed a key to lock from the reception, we were told this so had to go to reception to get a key and come back to lock our stuff. There was some drunk/drugged up man in the pool blowing snot in the pool, no one addressed this so we ended leaving as he was weird. We had some food in the bar, but the tables were all low level so had to hunch over to eat from the sofa's, the man who worked in the bar was very very quiet, he didn't really speak, just smiled at you when you went to order things instead of asking what you wanted he just looked at you - service was poor! The food for tea was quite nice however so compliments to the chef. The breakfast however was horrendous. Sausages were raw, hash brown ran out, beans and eggs stone cold. There were no pastries and web had to keep asking for butter for our toast. We actually left most of our breakfast, quite possibly the worst we have ever had. The cleaning staff were in non uniform so you didnt actually know who they were and all had earphones in listening to music, not one single person said hello to us. And on the check out the receptionist was chatting in the other room for ages, we got fed up of waiting, just left the key on the desk and walked out. The hotel could have been a lovely rickety charming experience if it was cleaner and had more present and engaged staff and the spa facilities improved but genuinely the poorest experience we've had in a hotel. Definitely would not go again!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am sorry to read that you did not enjoy your stay, particularly as your experience appears very different to the majority of our recent guest feedback. The Webbington is a period property and part of its character comes with age, original features and a varied layout. We are always happy to assist with directions around the hotel and to help with luggage when requested. We also make clear in our listing information that there is no lift on site. I was disappointed to read your comments regarding cleanliness and presentation, as these certainly do not reflect the standards we aim to maintain. Equally, your comments on breakfast, service levels and the leisure experience are noted, although this does not reflect the experience described by most guests who stay with us. I am pleased, however, that you enjoyed the food in the bar and found the location convenient. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Another wonderful stay at The Best Western Webbington"
We had stayed at Webbington about 3 years ago and had a fabulous stay. Lovely quirky hotel with great history....read up about it!!! The rates are very reasonable and you can get special deals too I will say that if you are mobility impaired please note there are NO lifts at all here. They will try to accommodate you on a ground floor room which is what we had last time but just be aware to let them know you have mobility issues! This time we were in one of the Court yard rooms. Not too onerous as I had had my hip replacement done last year but a bit of a climb to the second floor room for an unfit one with dodgy knees!!! However...the rest of the facilities are fab!!! Location is ideal for Glastonbury, Wells, Bath, Cheddar Gorge and even a trip to the seaside at Weston Super Mare! We had a basic twin which was lovely & clean, a good size and my friend was very happy as we had a bath & shower. Low level bath too so good for my dodgy arthritic legs 😀 The food was also as good as we remembered....evening meal was still reasonably priced...steak 22 pounds which included all the trimmings!! Great breakfast...self service but you could order anything not available from the kitchen...yum!! Great bar as well and a terrific view from the lounge area. It also has a great balcony area but needs a hot day and no wind as the hotel is on the side of a hill!! The pool , gym & spa are a bonus....warm, clean pool with easy steps down and nice and big for the energetic!!! Good seating area and the spa treatments aren't too expensive for a treat! The room we had was also in a fairly quiet area but the hotel wasn't fully booked.....we left as 600 men descended for a conference...phew!!!! What makes this place is the people working there....from the reception team, John who took our cases to our room, the bar staff who served us and a VERY special mention for Gino who really looked after us in the restaurant...a lovely, polite, professional, friendly lad. He looked after us so well...got a good old Liverpool hug when we left as well....bless!! Cheers Gino, for making our stay so special....from one fellow Liverpudlian to another 😀😀😀 I would definitely go back to the Webbington as it offered everything we needed for a mid week break in Somerset!!!
Thank you for such a fantastic review and for choosing to return to the Webbington Hotel & Spa. It is wonderful to read that you enjoyed another great stay with us and that our team helped make it so memorable. Your kind comments about the hotel's character, value, food, leisure facilities and location are hugely appreciated, and I will be especially pleased to share your lovely mention of Gino and John with the team. We are delighted the Webbington gave you everything you needed for a relaxing mid week break, and we very much hope to welcome you back again for stay number three. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Mixed feelings"
I didn't have high expectations - we chose the Webbington as it was convenient. It could be so much better.
Thank you for your review. I am sorry to read that your stay left you with mixed feelings. While the Webbington is chosen by many guests for its convenient location, character and facilities, we appreciate it did not fully meet your expectations on this occasion. We value your feedback and wish you all the best for the future. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Very good 👍"
Lovely friendly staff Breakfast, lovely, excellent choice Only negative, there are a lot of stairs, no ramps, not great for poor mobility.
Thank you for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed the friendly service from the team and that breakfast stood out with plenty of choice. As a period property, the hotel does have a number of staircases which form part of its character, and we always encourage guests with mobility concerns to contact the hotel directly before arrival so we can advise on the most suitable room options. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in the future. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Relaxing"
Lovely and relaxing place to stay. Staff helpful and friendly. Great evening meal with jovial staff. Used the awimming pool which you can book at a time to suit. Will definitly stay again.
"Yet another good stay at the Webbington."
This has been our fourth visit back to the Webbington, and we had another good stay. Our usual room was clean and ready for us, and when I rewquested another bedside lamp, one was quickly provided. As always, the staff are super feriendly and helpful. No it's not the 'top of the range' place, but for a mini break it suits us perfectly. Never tried the meals, apart from breakfast, or spa etc., so We cannot comment. However, we'll be back!
"Four Nights at the Webbington Hotel"
We stayed at the Webbington for 4 nights and enjoyed the experience. The hotel is a little tired but that is to be expected when you consider the age of the building. The bedroom was clean and the bed comfortable, the water lovely and hot and the complimentary breakfast was very generous with a wide selection. The swimming pool was great and very well managed with time slots ensuring there was no over crowding. The only negative was the opening hours of the Sauna and Steam room, you couldn't have an early swim and enjoy them as they didn't open until later. Would recommend it if you need accommodation in the area. It was a good location to visit Somerset. Wells a delightful small city avoiding vast commercialism and a very tranquel spot was easy to reach as was Bristol. Bath a little more awkard.
Thank you for your review. I am very pleased to hear you had an enjoyable four night stay and that the comfort of the room, the breakfast selection and the leisure facilities all added positively to your visit. It is also great to know the hotel worked well as a base for exploring the surrounding area. I appreciate your balanced comments and your recommendation, and I hope to welcome you back again in the future. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Lovely stay"
I stayed for one night with my little dog and had a great experience. We were upgraded to an executive room, which was spotlessly clean and comfortable. While some might describe the hotel as a little dated, I would say it has a vintage feel, full of character and warmth. The staff were all genuinely lovely and welcoming—my dog especially appreciated the thoughtful arrival treat! I also loved relaxing on the soft leather sofas in the bar area, which added to the cosy atmosphere. The pool was another highlight; the booking system works really well to prevent overcrowding. A big thank you to the Webbington team—we'll definitely be back!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I am delighted to hear you and your dog had such an enjoyable stay, and that the executive room, welcoming atmosphere and thoughtful touches all helped make the visit so memorable. It is especially pleasing to know the team made you feel at home and that you were able to relax and enjoy the bar area and pool during your time with us. Your kind comments are greatly appreciated, and I look forward to welcoming you back to Webbington again soon. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Hotel good, restaurant appalling"
The hotel itself is ok and the staff are very nice too. But the food in the restaurant is terrible. I have had quite a few dishes and they seem to have the ability to make every one I have had horrible. My latest fish and chips. The fish was watery and tastless, covered in a thick batter which was crispy on the outside, but a thick layer of uncooked batter on the inside. The worst fish and chips in weston super mare, probably the world.
Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased to hear you found the team welcoming and the hotel itself met expectations, though I was disappointed to read your comments regarding the restaurant. That is clearly not the impression we want to leave, particularly with a dish as classic as fish and chips. Your comments have been noted and will be reviewed with the kitchen team internally. I do appreciate you highlighting both the positive aspects of your stay and the areas you felt fell short. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Very friendly staff and clean hotel"
Having stayed here a few times, I found the hotel to tidy and clean. The staff are very friendly, including Hollie and Kat.
Thank you for your review. I am so pleased to hear you have continued to enjoy your stays with us and that the cleanliness of the hotel and the warm service from the team have stood out once again. Your kind mention of Hollie and Kat is especially appreciated, and I will ensure this is passed on to them. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Sally and Dave wedding 5 STAR*****"
My mum just had her wedding here, we stayed for the whole weekend and wow!!!! The service, staff, especially Miro and Scarlett, was absolutely amazing! The wedding was absolutely beautiful, the treatment we had was 5 star! The coordination and the way the staff worked together was incredible, we are all amazed with absolutely all of you x
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I am delighted to hear your mum's wedding was such a special occasion and that the whole weekend was such a success. Your kind words about Miro, Scarlett and the wider team are greatly appreciated, and I will make sure they are shared with everyone involved. It is fantastic to know the care, organisation and teamwork helped create such a memorable celebration for you all. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Somerset Views"
Excellent for exploring Somerset! Comfortable and casual atmosphere with lovely front desk service. Rooms are dated and the bed wasn't to our liking but the pillows were good. The carpet was need of a good cleaning. We enjoyed the pool and noted that although dated, there were adequate shower facilities. Robes and slippers would be an asset there. The food in the dining room was excellent with great gf choices. Dining service was attentive and pleasing. The view is fabulous. You get what you pay for.
"Amazing"
My girlfriend and I, throughly enjoyed our stay here. We made the most of their huge gym, the sauna and steam room. Unfortunately we couldn't use the pool as we didn't have swim wear but it seemed a decent size for the amount of people allowed in it. The buffet breakfast was delicious and had all different breakfast items along with items you could request to be cooked for you. The food from the restaurant at night time was really good and for a reasonable price. We also got upgraded to an exclusive guest room which was a lovely surprise. Overall it was a lovely stay for a Valentines weekend.
Thank you for taking the time to share such kind words. It is brilliant to hear you both thoroughly enjoyed your Valentines weekend with us and made the most of the gym plus the sauna and steam room. I am also pleased breakfast and dinner hit the mark and that the upgrade to an exclusive guest room added a nice surprise to your stay. Valentines weekend was a really strong one for the team, with a great atmosphere across the hotel and some lovely feedback from couples celebrating. Your review has given everyone a proper boost. We would love to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Birthday celebrations"
The location is lovely we had a room overlooking the Mendip hills in the main part of the Hotel. We just wanted to relax so the location and Spa were ideal for our needs. If you wanted to go out for the nearby its ideal for travelling to Wells Cheddar. The Staff are amazing so helpful and friendly and go out there way to help you would highly recommend staying here we have for the last four years running as we love the Hotel. We had a superior room with a balcony it was fantastic a really big room with its own hallway and a separate door to the bedroom. Check in was easy the receptionist are all lovely and helpful same with checkout.
Thank you lynnej964 for such a brilliant 5/5 review and for choosing to celebrate your birthday with us. I am delighted you loved the Mendip hill views, your superior balcony room, and that the spa and peaceful setting gave you exactly the relaxing break you wanted. Being well placed for Wells and Cheddar is always a nice bonus too. Most importantly, thank you for your kind words about the team. Knowing you have returned for four years running means a lot to us as an independent hotel, and we will look forward to welcoming you back for year five. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Wrongly advertised. Staff great, food awful, bedrooms walls paper thin. Needs updating"
Well where do I start? It's a great shame because it has such potential for greatness but falls very short. The staff are friendly and polite is the good thing. The layout is really confusing, lots of stairs with no lifts. The worst thing was the food, or lack of it. For it to boast it is one of the best restaurants for miles must mean it's the only restaurant for miles. There were only 2 very basic choices for mains (both very odd and both vegetarian) and the rest were pub classics which were very poor too. The burgers were cheap thin ones, the next night hoping for better we had the "authentic" chicken curry which was clearly out of a can, bland and tasteless and even dried/ coagulated on top, possibly been under the heater for a long time. We left most of it. The breakfast choices were ok but the scrambled egg was rubbery. We left most of that too. The rooms, old and dated with paper thin walls. you can hear clearly the neighbours TV, snoring and other such noises very clearly. The swimming pool was ok but small, the weirdest thing being have to walk through the gym (with wet feet on carpet) in your swimsuit, infront of all the people in the gym, to the difficult to find sauna and steam room (which i gave up looking for). Also the bar closed early, which is unacceptable for a hotel. Not only closed but pulled some noisy ugly shutters down in the room, not just over the bar, which really kills the ambience, which it had little enough of in the first place. I was told in it's hay day it was magnificient. I do hope for it that it finds new management or owners that make better choices. First thing to tackle is the menu and food in my opinion.
Dear suedeuters, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review and for your kind words about our team, I am pleased they looked after you. On the layout of the hotel, we are a traditional country house building and stairs and corridors are part of that. For clarity, a lift is not advertised anywhere because we do not have one. Our website and guest information also set out what to expect and porterage is of course offered upon arrival. On dining, we do acknowledge and apologise that we were operating a reduced menu during your stay due to unforeseen circumstances. This was a temporary adjustment and our full offering is now back in place. Concerning the leisure club, the route to the pool, sauna and steam room is signposted throughout, with directions displayed on site. It is always surprising when something clearly marked is described as difficult to find, but we appreciate not everyone chooses to follow the signage provided. While we accept feedback, the tone and language used throughout your review feels unusually harsh rather than balanced. You appear to be a prolific negative reviewer, and it is disappointing to see such crude descriptions directed at independent businesses and the people working hard behind the scenes. Your wider comments on the bedrooms, sound transfer, bar ambience and overall presentation have been shared internally as part of our ongoing improvement plans. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Nice rooms, not great food."
This hotel has lots of character and I think that is a highlight. The staff are also super friendly, which is good. Rooms are adequate, bathroom was a good size though the whole hotel feels like it needs a bit of updating . Regards to food, this is the only thing that let the hotel down for me. There is not a lot of effort put in with presentation. The one thing that really lets it down, are the salad garnishes. These consist of limp iceberg lettuce, with a couple of bits of pepper and tomato that are not presented well. It would make such a difference if nice salad leaves were served. I ate lunch and dinner here and was disappointed with both. The calamari had no flavour and served with a limp side salad wasn't good. The red slaw had no flavour and did not taste good. The pate was ok, but again let down by the presentation. The breakfast was very basic, but enough . I would not recommend this hotel for food, but accommodation is nice. The pool is small but nice, but in order to access a steam room and sauna you need to walk through the gym in your swimwear which isn't ideal.
Thank you for your review and for highlighting our characterful hotel, friendly team, and comfortable rooms. It is disappointing to read that the food presentation and flavours did not land for you, particularly at lunch and dinner. Your comments around the side salads and breakfast are genuinely helpful and have been shared with our kitchen team. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back and show you a better experience next time. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Lovely Relaxed Stay"
We stayed here for one night for a family birthday. From the point of telephoning to enquire right through to checking out we could not fault the staff. Kat and Hollie were friendly, helpful and really professional during my enquiry and booking phone calls. Amanda checked us and again was super helpful, warm, welcoming and extremely professional. We used the pool, sauna and stream room - all of which were clean and well maintained. The hotel is well located for visiting Weston-Super-Mare Grand Pier, Axbridge, Cheddar Gorge and Wooky Hole Caves. We would definitely stay here again.
Thanks for taking the time to share this lovely feedback. It is great to hear the team looked after you so well from the first phone call through to check out, and I will make sure your kind comments are shared with Kat, Hollie and Amanda. It is also great to know you enjoyed the pool, sauna and steam room and found everything clean and well maintained. Our location is ideal for exploring the area, so it is brilliant that you made the most of Weston Super Mare, Cheddar Gorge, Axbridge and Wookey Hole. We would be delighted to welcome you back again.

"Dredful"
Birthday weekend experence not to be repeated. Paid for an executive room , checked in , went to room , view of the flat roof , a toilet that did not flush , shower that did not drain , a razer left from previous guest , a queen bed when a king bed was expected , poor water pressure , poor food in the resturant , dry without taste so did not eat it . Cold pool , dirty stair and landings , very noisy late at night due to guests being drunk . All in all dreadful , if you would like to respond to me , please ask me to call to discusd Room 8 friday to sunday 23rd - 25th Jan
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback following your stay. I did notice the title reads “Dredful” which, spelling aside, sets the tone for what follows. On a more serious note, we do not recognise the majority of incidents described and there is no record of these issues being raised with our team during your stay. Had a toilet not been flushing, a shower not been draining, or housekeeping standards fallen short, those are exactly the sort of things we fix immediately or resolve with a room move. Our executive rooms do vary in outlook due to the layout of the building, and we are always transparent that this is a historic property. What we can confirm is that housekeeping were left with additional work after departure due to the condition of the mattress, which was disappointing for the team who had to deal with it. Looking at the tone and pattern of reviews on your account, it is unfortunate that your approach appears to focus on the negative rather than giving a fair reflection of the overall experience. As an independent hotel, reviews carry real weight, so it is particularly disappointing to receive such a severe account that does not align with our checks, our records, or the experience most guests report. Kind regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Birthday Stay"
4th visit to Webbington for a special birthday. Didn't dissapoint had a lovely chilled time 🙂 Just what we needed after a busy weekend. All staff were helpful, room was fabulous, clean and comfortable food was delicious.
Thank you for choosing Webbington again for such a special birthday and for taking the time to share your lovely feedback. We're delighted your 4th visit didn't disappoint and that you enjoyed a relaxing stay. It's great to hear the team looked after you well, your room was clean and comfortable, and you enjoyed the food. We look forward to welcoming you back for visit number five. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Some TLC needed."
We have just come away from a 2 night stay at The Webbington Hotel and sadly we will not be returning 😢 I would love to because it is a fantastic location for walks. The Hotel is located in a fantastic area for some brilliant walks which we done but The Webbington does not attract "The Walker" like many other country Hotels do. It is dated and in need of modernisation but the layout is quite quirky and appealing. If only the bar and restaurant area were updated I am sure it would attract more people for a drink and a meal. The leather sofa's in the bar area are truly awful and if they had some more modern relaxing chairs and table this are a would be superb and more flowing... instead it feels like a waiting room at the dentist. The room was adequate with a nice bed, although it could have done with a decent clean. A few cobwebs and sweet wrappers didnt bother me. Although they didnt clean the room or refresh toilet rolls, tea making during our stay and had to ask for a replenish of stocks. On the plus side all the staff were friendly and polite. Very nice people 👍 The food was poor for the money you have to pay for an evening meal so night 2 we went to a local pub. Breakfast was poor and cold with no hot plates. Sadly as I've said we will not return to this Hotel as it was poor and there are plenty of better alternatives nearby to enjoy the walks again in the future.
Thank you for your review and for choosing the Best Western Webbington Hotel and Spa. We are pleased you enjoyed the location and the walks, the setting is one of Webbington's real highlights, and it is great to hear our team were friendly and welcoming. The Webbington is a historic manor house, not a modern hotel stamped out of the same mould as a motorway stopover. It has quirks, character, and a real sense of place, which is exactly why many guests choose us. Our Tiark Restaurant is a favourite for wedding ceremonies and evening meals alike, and the bar is enjoyed by many guests and locals, so your view is not one we commonly hear. Your comments regarding the housekeeping refresh during your stay and breakfast temperature have been shared with the relevant teams, as these day to day standards matter. We would welcome the chance to see you again, and to provide the experience our regular guests know and love. Regards, Jamie Guest Relations Latona Leisure Group
"Poor experience. Will not return."
A very dated hotel. Staff were individually all pleasant but there is clearly no business plan to encourage a high level of customer service. And it is this lack of corporate message and desire to put the customer first that disappoints. Our spa day was cut short due to another event taking place that evening so we only had until 2pm not 6pm as planned to use the facilities. This was not communicated to us before arrival. We could have arrived earlier if we had known. Layout of pool/gym/sauna is off putting in that you have to walk from changing room thro the gym in swim wear. This is not relaxing or comfortable. Female Changing rooms are tiny and only hold about 6 people. There are only 2 showers but both are behind one door so there is no privacy. In the bar our empty tea cups took over an hour to be cleared away from our table The bar was never staffed unless we rang for them. Bar staff served bottled beer and did not offer a glass. Panini on the menu was in fact a cold baguette. The bar area was cold. This hotel needs a huge makeover and intense staff training in hospitality. It's in a great location with tons of potential but there is no leadership steering it in the right direction.
Hi YorkshaLassOnTour, thank you for your review. That said, the overall picture you've described doesn't reflect the experience most guests report. Our team are consistently praised for being outstanding and welcoming, and we're proud of the service they deliver. Our leisure club layout and facilities are as advertised, and we host a range of events alongside leisure access. Your comments have been shared with the relevant managers to review the points raised. Kind regards, Jamie Latona Leisure
"Overnight getaway"
Hotel is in a great location for walking. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. A few reviews mention the steam and sauna and the fact you have to walk through the gym, you do indeed. This is a little weird but if you are only using gym and the steam/sauna, you can use the changing rooms located next to the steam and sauna. The bedroom was very comfortable and clean and overall the hotel is good, dated but with character. The restaurant was a disappointment though, limited menu and food on the evening was not great, the breakfast however was very good. Can only assume that it was a different chef on the evening, but we were very disappointed with the evening meal.
"Surprisingly good stay"
Really wasn't expecting much after reading some reviews but we were all pleasantly surprised. All very clean and tidy. Lovely welcome from reception staff. Room, a little dated but again very clean. Bed, very comfy. Good facilities including phone, TV hot drink station and nice bathroom. There was noise from bedroom above( sounded like Riverdance at 2am!) Dinner- not a lot of choice due to being NYE eve but food was good. Breakfast- delicious. Able to order eggs etc how you like them . Staff super helpful. Didn't use leisure facilities but looked great. Great base for visitng local area.All in all a great stay and would definitely stay again.
Hi hazelf699, Thank you for your lovely review. We're really pleased you enjoyed a clean, comfortable stay, a warm welcome from the team, and a great breakfast. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards, Jamie Guest Relations, Latona Leisure Group
"Pleasant experience"
Beautiful location Easy access to Bristol Good value for money Booked directly so got a bargain Very good gym Ample parking
Thank you for your 5/5 review. We're delighted you enjoyed our beautiful location, great value (booking direct is often the best way), and the convenience of easy access to Bristol. It's also wonderful to hear the gym and ample parking helped make your stay even smoother. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Webbington overall poor"
Webbington hotel, As a large group attending a party night. Costing £55 each. Really poor food, that was served cold and of poor quality, hard potatoes, poor service and rude staff when complained. The circus show was embarrissing to watch with amature performances that woud had seen better days at a holiday camp. To top it all, no tea/coffee service at the end of the meal. Only a large metal canteen style ern to help yourself. Overall, a poor service, poor value for money in a very run down old fashioned hotel that had seen better days. Certainly would not be returning anytime soon.
Hi Anne, Thank you for joining us for one of our December party nights and for sharing your thoughts. Our festive events were hugely popular this season and we've had a great deal of positive feedback on the atmosphere and entertainment. As you're already in touch with us by email, we'll continue the conversation there and ensure your comments are reviewed through the appropriate channels with the relevant teams. Kind regards, Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Needs a complete refurbish"
Needs to be refreshed. Floor boards creek in room above. Soft furnishings need updating to ensure curtains actually cover the window size. Internet not great in the room. To go for a sauna you have to walk through a gym with people working out! Noise from outside the room- terrible. Can hear everything! Staff need to be aware of scams with reference to best western- don't feel that any help or advice was given.
Hi Kevin, Thank you for your feedback. The Webbington is a characterful, country house hotel, and our leisure layout reflects the building's original design. Your comments regarding comfort, Wi-Fi and noise have been passed to the relevant teams and will be reviewed through the correct internal channels. On the Best Western point, we work with a range of trusted booking agents and partners who handle guest details with great care, alongside our own secure processes. If you'd like to contact the hotel directly, the team will be happy to provide any information or reassurance you need. Kind regards, Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Great hotel. Great food. Great views."
Ok, so yes - the hotel is not a modern one with 21st century decor. It has lots of stairs and is thus not manageable for those with restricted movement. But it has a lovely relaxed atmosphere, and I prefer the dark wood charm. The hotel also has a vast car park, and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the view from my room across to Brent Knoll with The Quantocks and Exmoor in the distance, was one that I would never get anywhere else. Breakfast was great with an incredible selection of food, and dinner was excellent too. I was here for two nights with my immediate family celebrating my golden wedding anniversary, and could not have picked a more relaxing location.
Thank you for your fantastic five star review, and a huge congratulations on your golden wedding anniversary. Our hotel is all about the things you just cannot replicate in a modern building. A relaxed country house feel, warm dark wood character, and those wide open views that make you stop and just stare for a minute. That setting is exactly why so many guests choose us for milestone occasions, and I am delighted it helped make your family celebration feel special. I am also really pleased you enjoyed the space and comfort of the bedrooms, the generous car park, and most importantly the food. Hearing that breakfast offered an incredible selection and that dinner was excellent too is exactly the standard we aim for, and I will be sharing your comments with the kitchen and front of house teams. Thank you again for choosing us for such an important event, and we would love to welcome you and your family back for another relaxing stay. Kind regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"In the middle of nowhere"
Nightmare place to get too. Took me 1.5 hours from Nailsea . Awful looks so close to motorway but it's not . Rooms are cold but they gave me a heater . No lifts . The staff are lovely . But avoid getting here in the dark .
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The Webbington Hotel is in Loxton, which is clearly shown across our online platforms, and our rural setting is very much part of what many guests choose us for; peace, countryside views, and a quieter break away from town centres. We also share directions in our pre stay emails, as we appreciate arrival can feel more challenging after dark. As a historic building the layout does not allow for lifts, and we are always happy to allocate a lower floor where available if this is a concern. We are pleased the team looked after you and we hope to have you return in the future. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Turkey n Tinsel trip"
Stayed here as part of a Turkey n Tinsel coach party. Charming hotel with lovely views, but a bit isolated. Lots of character but needs a bit of tlc in places Room comfortable and clean, good hospitality tray Staff were excellent. Food delicious. Good location (with own transport) for visiting North Somerset.
Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel & Spa for your Turkey & Tinsel break and for rating us so highly. Our hillside location with views across the Somerset countryside, combined with comfortable bedrooms, traditional festive menus and our leisure club with pool and gym, makes Webbington a popular choice for coach groups and short breaks. Your comments about the team and the food are especially appreciated and will be shared with everyone. We hope to welcome you back to Webbington again soon. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Good Value"
Location is picturesque especially if you go out onto the terrace on a clear day. Atmosphere was lively as there was a large dance group (couples) staying the same weekend. All in good fun very entertaining and a really friendly bunch of people. I was a little disappointed with my room as it was very basic but it was clean and did the job. As for noise levels, we did hear people coming back at night and the early risers but it didn't bother us. As for the Amenities we didn't use the pool/spar. This wasn't our plan however. The steam room and sauna was located in the gym area so if you were having a swim you would then have to walk through the gym in your swimsuit to get to them. Also no robes or slippers provided. I didn't have slippers or flip flops with me. I wasn't keen on this idea so decided not to bother. All staff were very accommodating and really friendly and welcoming. Food menu small but reasonably priced for snacks and evening meal. Breakfast was lovey. We found alcohol prices reasonable to especially for a hotel. Single vodka and a pint of larger was under £12. Overall we had a lovey weekend and this was a lovey base for visiting local areas
Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel & Spa and for your positive feedback. Our hillside setting with views from the terrace, lively dance weekends and friendly, welcoming team are exactly what we aim to be known for. The Webbington offers great value breaks with a bar and restaurant that are competitively priced, plus a leisure club with pool, gym, sauna and steam room for guests who want to make more of their stay. We offer a variety of room types and continue to invest in upgrades across the hotel, so we'd always recommend contacting us directly next time so we can match you with the best option. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"EXCELLENT"
Staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. Lovely clean room, food was great and on site facilities were great. Would recommend. EXCELLENT 👍
Thank you for the 5/5 rating, it's hugely appreciated. Our team work hard to keep the hotel clean, comfortable and welcoming, with good food and on-site facilities that make staying with us easy and relaxing, whether you're here for business or a break. We're delighted you'd recommend us and hope to welcome you back again soon. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Disappointing"
We booked to stay for 3 nights, but left after 1. This hotel is dated, tatty and dirty. There were very few staff around and we found it unwelcoming. The leisure facility was one of the worst I've ever seen and was grimy and shabby. The carpet in the room was dirty and there was a large clump of hair in the bath. The restaurant was overpriced, with a poor menu. The only positive i can think of is the view from the room was good.This place is in serious need of investment. I would definitely not stay here again.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay and I am sorry that the Webbington did not feel like the right fit for you. Our hotel is a traditional country property and we understand that style and atmosphere are always a matter of personal taste. At the same time, many of our guests and regulars comment very positively on the welcome from the team, the cleanliness and comfort of the bedrooms, and the overall value of their stay, so your experience is not typical of the feedback we usually receive. The leisure club is designed to be in keeping with the character of the original building rather than a modern city spa, and it is well used and well regarded by both hotel guests and our local members, who particularly enjoy the pool and associated facilities. The areas are checked and cleaned regularly throughout the day and I am sorry that this was not the impression you took away. Our restaurant is often praised for both the quality of its dishes and the service provided by the team. Menus and pricing are reviewed regularly against similar venues in the area to offer an appropriate balance of choice and value, although I appreciate it did not meet your expectations on this occasion. I am pleased that you were able to enjoy the view from your room, as this is one of the main reasons many guests choose the Webbington and it is frequently highlighted in reviews. We continue to invest in bedrooms, public areas and facilities, and guest comments such as yours help us to focus that programme. While I respect your decision not to return, I do hope you might reconsider in the future and allow us the opportunity to provide the more usual Webbington experience that so many of our guests describe. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Amazing, friendly staff, cheap, clean and great views."
We stayed here one night to test out some food and the rooms before our Big Day being spent here. Immediately the reception staff were very invited and sweet, they made sure our stay was perfect. After hearing we were getting married there, at our dinner reservation we came down to a surprising candle lit dinner, a very nice spread on the table, it was very heart warming. The rooms are a little dated but I feel they've got character, the rooms were super clean, the room was nice and warm for the winter weather outside. The shower was powerful enough in our room ( a standard exec suite) The dinner is amazing here, the food should cost a lot more for what you get because it is fab, although breakfast was okay, there's definitely room for improvement but it's a buffet so what more can you ask for. Great views, doesn't cost a lot either so you get what you pay for. The staff made the experience 10x better and the restaurant is well worth a visit, a small menu but they cook everything to a great standard.
"A lovely hotel, realxing stay"
The staff were friendly and helpful right from the start. They made me feel comfortable and managed my dietary requirements easily. The spa and swimming pool is great, love the fact you have to book so it doesn't get too crowded. Clean and quaint rooms, everything you need
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I'm really pleased to hear the team made you feel welcome and were able to look after your dietary requirements, that's exactly what we want for our guests. It's great that you enjoyed the spa and pool and found the booking system helped keep things calm and uncrowded. Delighted you found your room clean, quaint and had everything you needed for a relaxing stay. We really appreciate you choosing to stay with us and hope to welcome you back again soon. Regards, Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Great value stay"

Thank you for the kind review. I am glad the setting, welcoming team and breakfast choice stood out, and that the gym and pool were just what you needed. Your note on the rooms is appreciated and we are continuing our refresh across the hotel. We hope to welcome you back soon. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Good value"
Two day stay at great rate of £140 including £60 dinner allowance and breakfast. Friendly and helpful and good quality menu. Requested an iron and board which came quickly and maintenence sorted radiator problem quickly. Spa treatment very good value too.
Thank you for sharing your experience and for highlighting the great value of your two day stay with dinner allowance and breakfast included. I am pleased you enjoyed the menu and found the team friendly and helpful. It is great to hear the iron and board arrived promptly and that maintenance resolved the radiator issue quickly. I will also pass your compliments to the spa team on the treatment value. We appreciate the recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group

Stayed one night as a birthday treat. Rachel on reception was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Enjoyed a lovely evening meal in the restaurant, the calamari and steak were to die for. Our waitresses, Dominica and Pippa were very attentive but not overly. Breakfast was also delicious and hot. Only downside was we had an accessible room which had a double bed, would've preferred a kingsize as my husband and I are quite tall. However the room was on the small side so a kingsize wouldn't have fitted. The room could also do with some updating.
"Happy"
Our family of 4, have a fabulous few days at The webbington. This is our 3rd stay during half term and as always we all have a lovely time! A big thanks to Amanda, who was was welcoming, informative, and asset to The Webbington. Thank you!
"Disappointing Stay!"
Stayed here on the 15th October. We had paid in advance for an evening meal as we were travelling from Cornwall, and flying from Bristol Airport the next day. Unfortunately, the motorway was closed northbound so we were sat in 6 hours of traffic. We rang ahead to let the hotel know that we may not make it in time for this restaurant booking. We arrived at the hotel and the manager in charge didn't know what could be done about this, but would find out. We were given our room key and directed to the room. The room was very dated and at the end of a very long corridor. The whole hotel felt damp and smelt musty. Although there were heaters on the walls, none of them worked - it was extremely cold in there! Kettle looks like it was from the 1950's and biscuits were stale. On closer inspection of the bedding there were what looked like dog hairs on the bed. The room was very unclean, lots of dust. 2 minutes after getting into the room, the manager called to say no refund would be given for our missed meal. I'm convinced the manager knew this, at the time of us checking in! Appalling service really considering it was out of our control, and we had called ahead with plenty of time to explain. £100+ lost, and not a single piece of food eaten. Not even a sandwich offered. Breakfast the next morning wasn't great either. There wasn't a great choice - of anything really! Bacon and sausage just about looked cooked but wasn't enough of. Mushrooms were dry, coffee tasted like gravy granules. The list is endless. The older scouse waitress was lovely. This was probably the only positive of the stay - well, that and checking out! Shame really because the hotel is beautiful and has lots of potential. Disappointing stay!
"Hotel good, restaurant food quality poor"
I like this hotel, the rooms are nice, has a gym and pool, and there is plenty of parking, the rates are very reasonable too. Breakfast also is very nice. The restaurant itself is OK, and bar and waiting staff are very good. However, the food in the restaurant is mostly quite horrible, and one night we went they had run out of a lot of the draught beers. Stayed for two working weeks, and tried to avoid eating there. Burger is disgusting, chewy and tastes funny, the chicken with chorizo the same, the salad is mainly iceberg lettuce, the mayonnaise tastes like it came out of a white emulsion paint tub. Fish and chips was nice though, and so was bolognaise.
"Don't be fooled by the pictures!!"
Avoid this hotel! Don't be fooled by the pictures!! I'll start with the mattress it was very old and dirty with a massive dip in it it was a very cheap mattress that need throwing out. The room is very outdates and everywhere you walk the floor boards squeak! I didn't get any sleep from people walking about. £120 a night for this is a joke!
Thanks for sharing your impressions. Our photos are current and the hotel is a character property. I have asked the team to review the mattress and flooring in the room you occupied and address any items that do not meet our standards. Rates vary by date and demand, though value remains a priority. If you share your booking details with guest relations we will follow up directly. Regards Jamie
"Not recommended!"
Terrible service - phoned and booked for a Saturday night & hotel booked us in for Friday by mistake. Claimed not to have phone recording & said it was our fault, charged for Friday night including breakfast, which no one had. Refused to transfer booking to Saturday & wouldn't even refund the breakfast. Totally refused to accept it was their error, literally couldn't care less. Hotel itself is tired & run down, coffee machine not working & bar service slow. Awful place.
Dear Reviewer, Our logs confirm the reservation was made for Friday, with both the confirmation and pre stay reminder stating Friday. We book the dates requested at the time, not those remembered later. Saturday did have availability, but changing to a different night requires a new booking under the rate terms rather than a transfer. The breakfast element was part of an inclusive rate, so not taking it does not alter the price. The coffee machine fault was reset the same day and any bar delay was during a peak period. Furthermore, our team were also subjected to raised voices and a rude approach, which was unfair given the booker error. Regards Jamie
"Friendly welcome, lovely staff, great breakfast."
We stayed here for a few days for our late summer break. On arrival the receptionist was very friendly and helpful and I have to say all the staff we had dealings with during our stay were excellent. We had a nice double room and good sized bathroom/shower. Both were clean and tidy and shower was uncomplicated and easy to set. You could hear voices from other rooms but it didn't affect us or keep us awake. Breakfast was buffet style with cereals, pastries, fresh fruit and cooked breakfast. Other variations were available to order if needed. I have Coeliacs and each day I was provided with gluten-free toast. The breakfast staff all gave the impression that nothing was too much trouble and were very attentive. It is an old building and can be a bit interesting when trying to find your room for the first few times. Once again this wasn't a problem. Only one thing that we had a problem with was the WiFi as it was a bit intermittent. There was an option to upgrade but we didn't bother. If we are next down this was we will definitely stay here again.
"Excellent visit."
Excellent welcome from a very attentive staff . Lovely location and very good food and drink served in a lovely pool restaurant. Hotel clean and tidy and well equipped gym.
"Nice building shame about the noise"
Lovely looking building and surroundings but that's where the good bits stop. Every floorboard creaked every door slammed every word spoken can be heard from down the corridors, the walls are like rice paper. If you partake in quite a few beverages you might be able to sleep through the racket of people going into their rooms, but if like us you don't and just need to relax and chill out the experience is marred by the noise both in the evening and early mornings. Best Western at Cricklade 30 miles or so away is far superior in every way. We won't be staying here again
"Bed Spring Bruises"
I did not enjoy this hotel, but by far the worst thing was that the mattress was such an old box spring mattress that the springs dug into my side all night preventing me from sleeping and leaving me with bruises. I doubled over the duvet and slept on that but I could still feel them digging into my side.
Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear your sleep was uncomfortable. Our team were not made aware of any issue during your stay and had we known we would have arranged an alternative and investigated immediately. For reassurance, our mattresses are replaced on a recorded schedule and are inspected regularly. Please email me [email protected] with your booking details so I can review this fully with the hotel team. Regards Jamie
"Great affordable Hotel, Lovely Location, Great Facilities!"
Lovely location, 15 min from Cheddar Gorge, 30 mins from Glastonbury. It is in the middle of nowhere, but there's plenty there in terms of facilities, a good bar, restaurant, terrace with a super view. Its a little bit old school, but as far as a 3 star hotel goes, its affordable, it has plenty of facilities (pool, spa, great gym!) Rooms are quaint. Food is good, staff are friendly and helpful. Clean rooms! The atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful. However, the only downside for a couple visiting is that its a wedding venue, so if you're visiting in wedding season, check ahead. We arrived on a Saturday evening to a wedding reception that was in full swing and quite noisy. (Nobody's fault, that's how celebrations are and should be in my opinion!) However, our room was far enough away for us not to be disturbed. I've stayed here back in 2019 and in 2025, both times we had a lovely stay! Great find!
Thank you for returning to stay with us and for sharing such a generous review. It is great to hear the location worked so well for Cheddar Gorge and Glastonbury, and that you enjoyed the terrace views, pool, spa and gym. Your compliments on clean rooms, good food and a friendly helpful team are very much appreciated. Our bedrooms are traditional in style and we price them to remain good value within the three star category, which matches your experience. You are right that we host weddings, especially at weekends in the main season. We plan bedroom allocations carefully to keep non attending guests away from the heart of the celebrations, and I am pleased your room remained peaceful. For any future stay, contact us directly and we will note a quiet zone preference and check event dates for you. Thank you for choosing us in 2019 and again in 2025. We look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxed and peaceful stay. Regards Jamie
"Can't wait to return!"
We had such an enjoyable time here this weekend, getting all the family together to celebrate our daughter's birthday, so I wanted to write a review while it's all fresh in my mind! I knew we'd be happy with this hotel from the very first telephone contact, where I was given such friendly and helpful advice about which rooms would be most suitable for our group, as well as menu options and info about the spa facilities. We settled on the dinner, bed and breakfast option, which was a great choice in hindsight, as the dinner was superb (so I'm glad we didn't dine elsewhere as we'd half thought we might do, initially). Communication before our arrival was excellent, with every email answered promptly in a welcoming way. We were lucky enough to be allocated rooms in the older part of the hotel, in the main house, which suited us perfectly as we adore being surrounded by original features and we loved the authenticity of the big old wooden doors, the wood-panelled cosy lounge with huge old fireplace, the gorgeous stonework throughout and the creaky floorboards full of character and history. The hotel oozes old-fashioned charm and understated elegance, with huge windows overlooking the Mendips and a welcoming terrace with seating for pre-dinner drinks or morning coffees enjoying the spectacular countryside views. We so enjoyed using the pool, steam room and sauna and the young sons (all in their twenties) took full advantage of the gym! What stood out most for us all, however, was the level of customer care throughout the stay: from the member of staff who took the trouble to answer all my queries by phone or text before our visit, the friendly welcome we all received on arrival, the bar staff who went out of their way to be helpful for our big party of eight throughout our evening ( pulling new chairs out of nowhere , without being asked, so we could all sit together comfortably) and the staff in the restaurant who served us with friendliness and efficiency during dinner and breakfast, catering to all our different requests. It's definitely true that a hotel is only as good as its staff and this one is wonderful! I'm already busy planning a return visit for longer!
Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and positive review of your recent family celebration with us. We're delighted that your daughter's birthday gathering was everything you hoped for. It's wonderful to know that from your very first call you felt supported and guided, and that our team could help with both practical arrangements and thoughtful touches. I'm especially pleased you enjoyed the character of the main house with its history and charm, the fireplaces and original features hold as many stories as our guests do. I'll be sure to pass your compliments on to our restaurant, bar and reception teams. They will be thrilled to hear how their friendly service and extra touches made your stay so memorable. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back for a longer visit there will be plenty more countryside views, spa time and good food waiting for you. Regards Jamie
"Amazing experience. Lovely hotel . Will be bk. Thank u to Amanda and Dominic and the rest of the team."
Lovely clean hotel in a great location. Had a 3 night brake away with my friends. Fabulous team of people who ran the hotel. Will be bk.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted you and your friends enjoyed your three-night break with us and found the hotel clean and welcoming. Amanda, Dominic and the rest of the team will be thrilled to know they helped make your stay so memorable. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Regards Jamie
"Awful complaint to manager has not been followed up"
This was our 2nd year of returning to this hotel. I booked a family suite room 220. Unfortunately, there was a terrible smell of fish through the rooms. This was reported to management the morning we checked out. They assured me this would be investigated and that they would get back to me. Sadly I've had no response from the hotel. It's been over a week now. Clearly my complaint & I was more than understanding of the situation when I explained to the manager him self has been dismissed and forgotten! Anyone who chooses to book this hotel. DO NOT BOOK ROOM 220!
Thank you for taking the time to share your review. I am very sorry it seems our follow-up contact has not reached you as we did in fact send a reply after your stay, which must unfortunately have been misplaced. We would never intentionally dismiss or ignore any guest feedback. I can also confirm that Room 220 has since been fully checked and no odour has been detected, suggesting this was an isolated matter. We regret the concern it caused and I want to reassure you your comments were taken seriously. Please do contact me direct on [email protected] to discuss your stay further. We value your loyalty in returning to us and do hope you will give us another opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Regards Jamie
"Good in parts"
Not tried this spa hotel before and will not return. Not sure it should market itself as a spa, steam and sauna away from the pool and relaxation area, nowhere to sit comfortably or shower comfortably by the hot rooms. Restaurant and bar good, nice seating areas, lovely terrace, shame about the traffic noise from M5. Staff very helpful and pleasant. Spa closed between the hours of 1 and 4pm for cleaning, 4 days of the week, assume the area does not need to be cleaned on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. I was not told spa not open for this chunk of time despite communicating my plan to use the spa if our room was not ready, it wasn't ready, or we were not allowed in until 3pm. Room pleasant, not huge, asked for a quiet room and we got it. Smelt a bit musty and was rather dated, but hotel has very good cleanliness standards throughout. Breakfast very good, extensive choice but go early as some food items and coffee ran out and were not replenished. Staff clear away the food items on the dot of 10am
"Amazing"
Had our wedding here a week ago and I absolutely loved it, the garden, the building, the staff, the rooms absolutely everything about the webbington is brilliant.. the hotel has so much history behind it and the rooms match the building, if they was updated modern rooms it wouldnt be right. I love the staff especially scarlett and Jamie who went above and beyond to make our special day soooo much more than I even dreamt off..
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. It was a real pleasure to host such a special occasion and we're delighted to know that everything from the gardens and the historic character of the building to the bedrooms and the team helped make your wedding day unforgettable. Scarlett and Jamie will be over the moon to hear your kind words and we'll be sure to pass this on to them. We're thrilled that the Webbington has given you such happy memories, and we're looking forward to welcoming you back very soon! Regards Guest Relations
"Pleasantly suprised"
Was nervous with some of the reviews but I can honestly say this was a lovely stay. The receptionist who checked us in on the Monday was very professional and made it exciting for my 9 year old daughter. The room covered all the bases . The breakfast was nice and buffet style making it relaxed the restaurant staff very helpful. If your expectations are 5 star then maybe this isn't for you but if you want a nice hotel at an affordable price..I'd highly recommend 👌
Dear philmU2960KO, Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that you and your daughter enjoyed your stay with us and that our team made you feel so welcome from arrival. It is also appreciated that you found the breakfast & hotel to be both comfortable and good value. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Regards Jamie
"Good for the price"
It does what it says on the tin… good facilities, decent breakfast but needs sprucing up . Room was large with good view but everything creaked!
Thanks for the review, We are pleased that you enjoyed the Hotel overall. Looking forward to your return visit. Regards Jamie
"Couple stay"
Me and my partner stayed here for a night and booked this hotel specifically for the pool, steam and sauna. Upon arrival, we were informed that the pool is on a booking slot system which was not helpful when arriving past 5pm resulting in us not being able to use the facilities as we planned. Another observation is that the steam room and sauna are not located next to the pool, and you have to walk through a busy gym area in a towel to use these… not ideal ! In summary, quite disappointing when booking a hotel specifically for these features and would have been better off booking a standard hotel. Also, it doesn't take cash so just factor this in when going.
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your experience of the leisure facilities did not meet your expectations. For clarity, details of our booking system and leisure layout are always included in the pre-arrival email sent to guests and stated on our booking platforms, but we appreciate your feedback and will review how we can make this information clearer. We do hope you will consider staying with us again so we may provide a more enjoyable visit. Kind regards, Jamie
"Lovely Stay"
Had a lovely night at the hotel - a present bought for us bought by daughter as my wife and I had planned to stay here on our wedding night but things didn't pan out as we planned (that was 35 years ago !- oh and we are still married) the room 4 was very quirky and lovely - with great views - the walk up to Crooks peak was also a highlight as was the lovely breakfast - we will come again - hopefully it won't take us another 35 years 😂👍
Dear Robert W, Thank you so much for your kind review. We're delighted to hear that you and your wife enjoyed your stay with us, especially given the special connection you had planned so many years ago. It's wonderful to know that Room 4, the views, your walk up Crook Peak, and our breakfast all added to the experience. We very much look forward to welcoming you back again. Warm regards, Jamie
"Another excellent stay"
We have just returned from another overnight stay at the Webbington Hotel & Spa. As always we found the staff very polite and helpful. We stayed in a lovely spacious room. We used the hotel Spa facilities swimming in the pool. We had a lovely evening meal in the restaurant, and in the morning had an excellent breakfast. We hope to return in the near future and would thoroughly recommend this hotel.
Dear 558rosemarieb, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed another excellent stay with us, and that our team, spa facilities, restaurant, and breakfast all contributed to a memorable visit. It's always a pleasure to welcome back returning guests, and your recommendation means a great deal to us. We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future. Kind regards, Jamie
"One night at Webbington Hotel and Spa"
I stayed here for 1 night on 11th August, here are my findings: Staff are lovely, very friendly, attentive and professional. Second to none. My room was very clean, spotless in fact, and I'm fussy! It had everything I needed for the one night. Bathroom was very clean. Towels were fluffy, clean, soft and a decent size. The bed could do with a new mattress as it was lumpy, and I could feel the springs, but that said, I slept well. Just needs a new mattress. The general decor is a little dated, but again, the place is very clean. Restaurant: I ate dinner during my stay, lovely food, hot, and quick service. Breakfast is self service, everything you need is on offer. Hot food, cold food, hot and cold drinks, all sufficient. The table was well set and very clean, the cutlery and glassware was also very clean! The restaurant staff were very attentive, very polite, smiley and nothing was too much trouble, so I'd say the staff here are an absolute asset to this hotel, from checking in through to checking out, lovely staff! Parking is easy and free. There are a lot of steps and stairs in the hotel so may not suit a person with reduced or challenging mobility, but it's to be expected, it's an old manor house on a hill! I used the pool in the morning before breakfast, again, I can't stress enough how nice the staff are, the lady at the leisure club desk called me by my first name when I arrived and explained everything to me. The lockers in the changing rooms are free to use, so no fumbling around for a coin! The pool was the perfect temperature and very pleasant to swim in, and not crowded. You do need to book a swimming slot, so if you've booked in advance, maybe get your lane booked to avoid disappointment. And check the spa facilities in advance if you're hoping for treatment, best to book, which is fair. Overall I'd say it was a 9/10 stay. Thank you for reading
"Relaxing as always, but needs some TLC"
Stopped off for food on our way back home to Devon. The Ciabattas, Chunky chips, and Sticky Toffee Pudding were very tasty and very well presented, and all the staff are very pleasant and professional, as always. We have stayed/ visited the Webbington many times over the last 10 years, it is a place we love and always feel chilled and relaxed as soon as we pull up on the car park, but the last few years we have only used it for a food stop when we are travelling now, we are reluctant to stay overnight because of a few issues as well as negative reviews regarding tired rooms and lack of cleanliness. It is a real shame, this Hotel is in need of some urgent TLC. The sofas in the Bar/Lounge area have been there for 10 years that we know to, they are very tired and worn and seen much better days, they really need to go on a skip! I'm sure it wouldn't cost much to replace those 7 sofas, with either something similar or even a few tub chairs & Sofas with round tables, which would give better position if wanting to eat or also suitable for relaxing in. This alone would make a massive difference to the appearance of that area. There was a lack of choice behind the bar, it is mid-August, and it was very limited. - only 1 non alcoholic drink, whereas 6 months ago, there was a choice of Corona/ Madri/ a cider and Guinness Zero [which is probably the most popular non alcoholic drink at the moment] - No type of Guinnes available whatsoever - only 1 flavour of J20 I'm not sure who is in charge of stocking the bar, but this needs looking at! There is also a lack of basic maintenance out on the Terrace. The windows need a good clean to remove the spiders webs. There is flaking and peeling paint in many places. The raised timber beds and benches have some rotten timbers in them which need replacing. There is build-up of leaves (these should be cleared daily really) These are all simple jobs for a maintenance person! I have raised these issues before, and been told there is a refurbishment plan ongoing,but nothing seems to be being done. It saddens me to see The Webbington like this.
"Nice location, poor rooms"
Lovely views, location and communal areas, with lovely staff, however, this theme does not follow through to the room. Extremely shabby and not given the amenities as described, although these were rectified. Positive points, food was good, staff friendly, but would I stay here again?...unfortunately it is no from me, until some love, care and attention is given to the rooms. I wouldn't walk on the carpet barefoot, as it was grubby! Bed and bathroom was clean. We paid £144, if we were on the programme Four in a Bed, I would have only paid £80
"Never again."
Place is in massive need of a refurb, every floorboard is loose, food is pretty crap, beds are well worn with springs randomly stabbing you in the back. Walls are wafer thin you can hear the person fart or snore in the next room. Will definitely not be coming back here.
Dear andrewll6739AM, Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to read of your disappointment and that you felt the need to comment so crudely regarding your recent visit. Unfortunately, we were not aware of any issues throughout your stay, although our fantastic team are always on hand to assist if called upon. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Sorry won't be staying there again"
Very disappointed with our stay at the Webbington Hotel Although the bedroom was clean and tidy, it was cramped at the top of the old part of the hotel, presumably the old servants' quarters. The shower has black mold in numerous places within it and rust. A wedding was taking place during our stay, which made it difficult to find a place to sit. The main restaurant was also taken over by the wedding, so we had to go to a local pub for food. The quality of the furniture in the public areas was very poor and uncomfortable. The public area was also crowded with cigarette smoke from the wedding guests smoking on the veranda. The hotel definitely needs refurbishment; in my opinion, the advertising material is outdated and misleading, as the exterior is overgrown with plants and requires painting. I have to congratulate the staff who were working there during our stay; their work ethic was outstanding. Professional in the way they dealt with other guests who were rowdy and threatening.
Dear Figment470, Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry your recent stay failed to reach expectations, and that the hotel was busy throughout your visit. Our Hotel is often complimented for its period features, although your thoughts have been noted. Many thanks for your kind words regarding our team, we work hard to provide top service. I hope you would re-consider staying with us in the future. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Pleasant stay unfortunately with a few bad points"
Room was very clean and a pleasant stay. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, there is a damp musky smell in certain parts of the hotel, assume this is from leaks as some of the ceilings are water stained. The breakfast isn't worth £15 it's pretty poor quality and you have to book a 30 minute slot to use the pool. The WiFi signal isn't very strong in certain areas and kept dropping out in our room
"Disaster"
Not the type of contribution I would have liked to make for my 200th review. However I review good or bad as that is the idea of the site. We decided to meet up with some friends for a quiet weekend at a nice hotel half way between us. This hotel was 50/50 and look very nice. So we booked for the weekend. When we arrived the car park was packed with wedding people. We checked in and was surprised we were placed totally opposite ends of the hotel. We asked why and they said the weddings guests had taken virtually all the rooms over the hotel. Surely two rooms could have been close??. Then disaster. There was absolutely nowhere for holiday guests to go other than be amongst the wedding guests. We could not get a quiet spot to talk or take a drink to catch up on our friendship. We were stuck with children running and shouting all around us, smoke filtering all through to the bar area, later followed by adult disturbance of loudness and drunkenness. We left the hotel and found a nice quite hotel and pub up the road for the rest of our day. Then on return we walked the smoke smelling corridor to our room and kept awake half the night from next door. As great admirers of Best Western (we are going to Best Wester Totnes in a couple of weeks) this was our worst ever experience of a B.W. in both UK and USA. We were so disappointed and had a lousy reunion with our friends. Had we been told a wedding was taking place we would probably taken another BW for our meet up. However I do want to state that the staff from the start with Katrina to the bar man to restaurant lady were excellent and very professional. They can not control a large amount of people hell bent on ruining normal guests holidays. So hats off to the staff and the excellent breakfast but such a disappointment overall. It has made me question how I book B.W. and check the facilities first. As for the hotel it has superb views which are breathtaking but the hotel is in need of some TLC. Keith Birmingham
"Last minute break"
Although this was booked as a late get away for a couple of days we found the hotel to be slightly over priced for what we got in return. Original buildings yes very nice, lots & lots of stairs so be aware if you are not very mobile. NO lift but you could always request ground floor accommodation. We had to request extra tea bags but then again we said NO to daily housekeeping only staying for the 2 nights. Staff and bar staff very friendly. Be aware this hotel is available as Wedding Venue, nice patio and ballroom area so could be busy on the days that you should choose, you might do well by just asking the question Any Venues on.? All in all a very pleasant stay ..thank you all.
"Great staff and location"
This hotel has some lovely staff and a great location but has some things letting it down which is a real pity. The building has great character, it's comfortable and the terrace has amazing views. The pool is good and clean and well organised but the changing room though clean needs the benches replacing. Our room was clean , comfortable and newly decorated while the bathroom was poorly decorated and needed a makeover. It was obvious though that in the daytime the bar wasn't permanently staffed, with people multi tasking and teaching new staff at the same time. The food we had in the bar was adequate but not remarkable. All in all we liked this place but in school holidays it needs more of the well trained staff it has, an higher standard of food and a tidy up to get repeat visitors!
""
The hotel is a period hotel with period features but the decor is dated and really needs some tlc. There are lots of steps making it very difficult to navigate as a person with limited mobility. The handrails on stairs feel sticky and there are un pleasant smells in some hallways. The spa was extremley difficult to use as all the floors were wet from the swimming pool which is mainly due to poor layout and smooth tiled floors. The swimming pool was very tired and unclean with what appeared to be mould on tiled floor and bottom of tiled walls in places. The water was very cold and when holding on to the edge of pool your hands were left feeling greasy! The well being spa and treatments we booked were great, the therapist were friendly and knowledgeable and performed a great pregnancy massage and luxuary pedicure, I would highly recommend the use of their services. The resturant food was very disappointing our steaks were not cooked correctly and after having them replaced we were served steaks that were 50% fat and sinue. We did raise this with management at the time and were given what equated to £2.79 discount! Wow! The breakfast was also dissapointing, cooked food was made with cheap ingredients and not cooked well. We were unable to eat it and sent it back. Also very limted fresh fruit, just grapefruit! Poor selection of pastries too. The executive room we booked had a fabulous view, it was fairly clean at first glance but not great on close inspection. The bed was a good size and fairly comfortable if you like a very firm mattress. The pillows were comfortable. The in room refreshments were nasty and limited. The ensuite had an extremely high step into the shower with no hand rail in or out which made it difficult to use. The only positve feed back I can give is that ALL staff without exception were friendly polite and helpful. All in all we did not have a good stay and would not stay again or be able to recommend.
"Had lovely time in a quirky hotel"
Quirky hotel with amazing staff. All the amenities were there you just had to ask or know where to look. Pool was fab. Changing rooms would benefit from spinner to dry costumes. Shame the sauna and steam room were a bit of a walk away but it was fine. Showers in gym area were great. Food was good. Breakfast selection could have some with fresh fruit but otherwise good. Outside area to sit was lovely.
"Friendly staff good food"
We stayed in an executive room which had a large balcony which was ideal in the hot summers evenings. Room a good size and very comfortable. The only fault was poor wifi and continuously having g to sign in. Breakfast and bar meals really good quality. Staff we met were all friendly and helpful.
"Wonderful staff"
The staff were wonderful. So welcoming and friendly. We will return. Fabulous views. Well equipped gym. Clean pool. Room comfortable.
"A lovely place to stay"
The staff were very friendly and helpful, they made me feel very welcome and looked after. The lounge, bar and terrace were very nice.
"Great stay"
Great hotel staff lovely hotel decor a bit tired but everything worked! Breakfast lovely self service which is far better and plenty if it! Wide choice Would recommend for a short stay
"Definitely one we wouldn't return to as it stands at the moment ."
Such a shame as I had high hopes. The hotel looked lovely in the pictures we had to book a last minute stay in the area due to a personal issue. We arrived to a friendly receptionist (plus) but note there are no lifts and on the way to our room where a few discarded towels I presume from guests who had used the pool. Our room was so dated and looked very unwelcoming but we put out stuff down and headed to the bar. There we were met with a very sour faced employee who would quite obviously rather have been anywhere else but there. The bar was dry dirty and sticky and it wasn't hugely busy at all so couldn't have easily been wiped down. We ordered a Sauvignon only to be grunted at that we only have Chardonnay. We had one drink and decided to head to bed . The bed was not comfortable at all which I know can be personal preference but this was just cheap mattress, thin quilt one pillow each type uncomfortable. We then had to put up with other guests loud shouting and kids running around the hotel up and down the corridor. There are no blackout curtains so if you are sensitive to that worth noting. Shower was ok the night of arrival but once everyone was up and peak demand it was hit and miss for water. Breakfast I have to say was fine. the staff were very efficient and pleasant. We had a look at the Spa which was a pool , which looked fine but were told that the steam room and pool were the other side through the gym not near the pool which was odd. This hotel would need such a cash injection to be brought up to date but if someone could do that what a gorgeous location and option it could be. I think it will end up being used for a government contract eventually as others in the group and it must be expensive to run and I can't see people returning for repeat business. For now it's a definite from us and actually was in the bottom 3 of any hotel I have stayed in unfortunately.

"Beautiful Views, But Needs Improvement"
The hotel offers lovely views from the outside seating area, making it a potentially great location for events and functions. However, my experience had some downsides. While some staff members were very polite and welcoming, others came across as moody, which affected the overall atmosphere. The drinks were also quite expensive. The room itself was not the cleanest — there were cobwebs in various spots, and the view from the window was rather gloomy. It was very hot inside the room, and unfortunately, there was no air conditioning, mini fridge, or hairdryer available, which made the stay less comfortable. Additionally, the room was located quite a distance from the main areas, which was frustrating given my leg injury. The hotel feels quite dated and could benefit from some modern renovations to improve guest comfort and overall experience.
"Family celebration"
Just back from a wonderful weekend celebrating my in-laws 90th and 80th birthdays. The hotel is in a perfect location with panoramic views across the Mendip Hills. The decor is quaint and in keeping with its age. The staff were amazing, going above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. The restaurant caters well for people with dietary requirements (GF). Our food looked and tasted delicious, you just know it is cooked with care. The room was clean with all the standard requirements, it was just a tad hot with the current heatwave; nothing the fan from reception couldn't fix. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommend.
"Iconic hotel sadly failing on all levels"
Iconic hotel sadly very disappointing , booked this for a birthday celebration sadly it's tired and needs serious updating or even some minor TLC like weeding and lick of paint ! The only plus point were the extremely friendly staff they are a credit to the place The food was inedible im afraid to say don't book the breakfast it's mass cooked unappealing and poor quality. We had an executive suite which meant it was roomy ! Very tired furniture and bathroom needs updating even some luxury toiletries and extra towels would be an improvement!
"Lovely hotel with plenty of character"
Good hotel, though a bit remote.. Excellent value for money. Tasty breakfast. Large comfortable bed. Helpful and friendly staff.
"Would only return based on convenience of location."
very dated. We stayed for 2 nights and had a wake up with another room having the hair dryer on at 5am night one and 7am night2. I'm 6ft and could get under the shower in room 110. While in bed it felt like someone was walking past you headboard when people working through corridors. Breakfast was fair skipped it day 2.
"'Cosy' room could be improved"
We stayed overnight in a 'cosy' room in the annexe. The room was adequate - small, but it was the cheapest category. However, it could have been rather better - there was a desk and chair but the gap between the chair back and the bed was so narrow that it wasn't possible to pull the chair out to sit on at the desk! There was only a bedside table on one side of the bed not both sides. The lights in the room were too dim to read a book. The soundproofing between the corridor and room and between floors was not very adequate, but the other guests were considerate and didn't make too much noise. Staff were helpful. The heated swimming pool was lovely and I really enjoyed my swim. We had not booked an evening meal and were pleased we hadn't as a wedding party had booked out the restaurant for a large part of the evening. We would have had to eat very early or right at the end of the serving time. Instead we had a nice smoked salmon and lettuce ciabatta in the bar area. If it had been less windy there was a very nice terrace which you could sit out on. As others have commented, if you book an evening meal, what you actually get is £25 worth of food from the a la carte menu. The choice on this is fairly limited. We had booked a cooked breakfast, which was quite good but not amazing. My omelette was cooked to order and very nice. However, the pastries were soggy and the only fresh fruits on offer were orange segments. Cereal choice was average. As the list price for breakfast was £15, I was expecting something better. We had a better, cheaper breakfast at a Premier Inn the morning before!
"Great family celebration"
We have just come back from a lovely 3 night stay for my mother in laws 60th birthday. We were a very large party and we felt we were looked after very well. The level of service from all the staff was exceptional. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Hotel is set in a beautiful location and facilities were excellent. The food was delicious and service at dinner was very good. For such a large party our food orders were managed very well and my only criticisms are that the hotel could use some updating in places and the level of choice on the menu could be better, aside from that we had a wonderful time and would definitely return.
"OK but a few mishaps that, if resolved, would improve the score ..."
Arrived for a 3 night stay during Whitsun. Not the easiest place to find with poor signage and several road closures near to the venue. The Sat Nav couldn't help us sadly and kept sending us around in circles as diversion signs were limited. When we did arrive we were greeted fine and the room was spacious and lovely. TV was a little small for the room. The bar area was good and meal choices fine. Staff were friendly and food was nice. My major gripe was the time it took to service the room. When staying there and you go out at 10.30am then return near 3pm you expect the room to have been serviced. The fact I had to ask twice before it was finally done was unnecessary and disappointing but there seemed to be only one female member of staff servicing a lot of rooms and she seemed run ragged! There were noisy guests who loved the sound of their own voice but we tried not to let that affect our stay. Overall it was fine and we would return but feel the hotel need to note our comments and look after couples better who are staying a few nights as equally as larger parties.
"Old, tired, no food after 9pm, inflexible staff, dangerous bathrooms and wiring in rooms, no air conditioning"
Small room, tired and dated, cables running under carpet, no a/c and very hot... Shower was cold in the morning, left it for 5 minutes was just about lukewarm enough to do your arms and face.. However the hot tap on the sink was producing water well above the safe 56C and was scalding hot, and dangerous if you have children with you or an elderly person. The shower was just over a standard enamel bath with no grip provided, I complained how slippery the shower was and was told a no slip mat was available on request for those that need it!!! So for those of us that love to slip up in the shower your sorted, for those of us that find it annoying and down right dangerous.. head down to reception at 5.30 am and see if you can find someone... Black mound on the tiles, Bed was sprung and had some very tired spring that were pocking through. Whole place was a rabbit warren up and down stairs, awkward doors and heavy, again totally unsuitable for anyone elderly or with mobility issues... steps, steps and more steps... And doors way, way too heavy for the purpose they needed to be. Reception 'took' my 'suggestions on board. But, as with most Best Westerns.. me and my friend staying just found the whole hotel a bit of good fun, like staying in Fawlty Towers. The website clearly states 'The Best Restaurant' in Weston Supermare, so good it closed at 9pm so when we arrive (despite calling ahead) for 9.07 we were told no we couldn't pre-order or have them put some food to one side... As Basil Fawlty himself would have said what do you think this is a hotel? No bar snacks, or anything after 9pm... Yup that's what makes this the best restaurant in the county! Had similar experience at other Best Western.. it's like they stopped spending money on them about 1995, and just keep on top of the bare essentials... go for a laugh, the view from the terrace though is spectacular... would have been lovely to have sat outside and eaten dinner.. but 9pm! Not even a sandwich... Stick with Premier Inn/Holiday Inn, cheaper and much better quality and complies with basic health and safety issues.
"Spoilt Anniversary Stay.!!!"
Room good size needs a good dusting above bed, need to get an experienced chef awful breakfast worst I've had anywhere sausages didn't even resemble food such a shame this place could be great.how do these places get to call themselves a spa when there is no hot tub,jacuzzi.? Staff were lovely but the owners need a shake -up..
Thank you for your review Z710CVamandar, I apologise if your recent visit failed to reach expectations, your comments have been noted and we will make changes if required. Many thanks for your kind words regarding our team, they are all an asset to the hotel. Regarding your thoughts on our spa, many of our guests enjoy our Leisure Club and we also have long standing members for over 25 years. To clarify, we advertise all of our facilities online. Looking forward to welcoming you back. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Anniversary"
Arrived Thursday on spur of the moment celebrating our anniversary! Staff were absolutely wonderful so helpful and accommodating had a wonderful room in main hotel room was lovely and clean with view overlooking the beautiful countryside
"Stop off for Lunch"
Popped in for Lunch on our way back to Devon. It's a place we've stayed many times in the past 8 years and holds a lot of memories for us. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Bar meals were very good, tasty and plentiful. The bar area which is such a lovely relaxing area, is sadly being let down by some dated, faded and worn leather sofas, I'm sure the owners could afford to replace these few sofas, which would enhance the area by far. These sofas have been there since the first time we visited, so are well past their best. We were having a quiet relaxing lunch, which was sadly ruined by a disgruntled couple who had just booked in and were not happy with their room and decided they wanted everyone to hear about it, they were very vocal in the public area, and were irate and liitle aggressive towards the staff, who were trying their hardest to be helpful and sort something out but the couple wasn't giving them chance. I got the impression they were complaining about the rooms being dated and not clean. From the last time we stayed, I agree the rooms were looking a bit dated but we have never had a problem with cleanliness. I do hope this hotel isn't being neglected as it is a lovely place in a lovely area.
Thank you for your review Tracy H, I am delighted to read that you have been visiting the Webbington Hotel for a number of years and that you have fond memories of the property. Thank you for your complimentary comments regarding our team, they are an asset to the Hotel. I apologise if you were disrupted in any way whilst in our public area, although I'm glad you felt our staff were doing their best to calm tensions. Thank you once again for your thoughts, The Webbington Hotel is owned and operated independently and we are currently rolling out refurbishments throughout our beautiful Edwardian property, such as the renovation bedrooms, public areas as well as restoring original features externally. I look forward to your return. Regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"A pleasant stay"
Overall we had a very pleasant stay, once we arrived all the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. We booked with a voucher that was meant to include complimentary breakfasts for our stay, however the booking confirmation didn't show this part of the deal so I called to check and was told it had gone through as room only and they would call head office to check. They called me back to say that there was nothing they could do as it had gone through as room only despite the voucher used which meant we ended up having to pay for breakfast for all of us every morning which was pricey (especially as we had to pay before we sat down which led to us paying for a full breakfast for one of the children who when they sat down decided they only wanted continental) and frustrating as we could show the voucher they had created and was valid and could have added breakfast for us retrospectively but they chose not to. The food was very good however, with a good selection for breakfast and the dinner menu was excellent. The rooms, whilst a little dated, were very comfortable with spacious bathrooms and were very clean, the housekeeping staff do a wonderful job. It was lovely to have use of the pool for our stay as well. All in all it was a pleasant stay, it's just a shame it was marred slightly by having to pay 1/3 of the room charge again for breakfast because of the staff choice to not honor a valid voucher by adding a note to our booking that breakfast was in fact included.
"Wheelchair user - exceptional service and so helpful. Adjustments made to give an incredible experience!"
I went for a weekend away over Easter with my partner. The area is so scenic and a lovely location to get away. The hotel is a really wonderful place, it's a listed building I believe and is very pretty. Now, I am disabled and in a wheelchair. My initial thought was that this was going to be a nightmare weekend, as there was lots of steps everywhere and it didn't seem easy to get around. The disabled room was on the small side and not the easiest to move about in a wheelchair. I am able to walk a little with crutches so I could walk from the bed to the bathroom, but if you were a full wheelchair user you may struggle in this room. However you can see they have tried to make adjustments, as it was a walk-in shower room and had grab rails and a shower chair to help. There is also no access to the reception as there are stairs both entrances, but the staff were happy to come up the stairs to check me in/out. Throughout my visit, my thoughts on the hotel were soon changed. The staff used mobile ramps to help me get about, they were always happy to help me and it didn't seem like I was a burden at all, it made me feel really empowered and just 'normal', which I appreciate so much. They asked us to book a time for breakfast/dinner and for the swimming pool, which they ask everyone to pre-book anyway. But when we arrived at our time the ramps were ready and so were the staff. I honestly cannot thank the entire staff team enough for being so helpful and kind to me and my partner, and made all the accomodations to make us feel at ease and enjoy our stay. I had also booked a couples massage, but they spoke to us and explained that I cannot get to the spa rooms safely, so they gave a mobile treatment and came to the room for my treatment while my partner went to the spa room. They then had a staff member meet me at my room to walk me to the disabled entrance for the swimming pool, which I appreciated as it was a little bit like a maze! I definitely will come back even after our initial hesitation, it blew away my expectations and we had an amazing experience!!
Many thanks for your review Heather, I was very pleased to read that nothing was too much trouble during your recent visit and that our staff made you feel so comfortable throughout your stay. Our staff pride themselves on their service and I am very lucky to have such a fabulous team. Thanks again for your complimentary comments regarding the overall facilities at the Webbington Hotel & Spa. Please don't hesitate to contact us direct to return in the future. Warm regards Jamie Latona Leisure Group
"Good Location"
The place is beautifully located away from it all giving a lovely sense of peace and quiet. Having a pool and gym made this a very attractive prospect when using the hotel as a base for exploring. Both of them are well run, you book half hour slots to use the pool and the well equipped gym has more than adequate space. The hotel is well staffed and the staff attend to your needs and requirements very quickly. Our room was spacious and had a lovely view across the countryside (executive room). Yes there are creaky floors but nothing too disturbing. Bed was comfy and we enjoyed the ambience of the older building. Food was adequate but nothing great unfortunately. Overall, we had an enjoyable break and would recommend as a base with good facilities in a nice location.
"Art nouveau comfort and class"
This is a lovely, comfortable, traditional hotel. The staff were friendly, helpful, efficient and unobtrusive. The rooms were spacious and well equipped, the décor tasteful and reflected the period of the building, which is art nouveau, The food was excellent and promptly served. We enjoyed the spa - although you have to book and walk through the gym to get to the sauna/steam room. Also private changing cubicles would be nice. Overall, highly recommended
"Mini break"
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Lucy and Eloise in the spa took very good care of me when I was feeling low - thank you for being such locely people!! Although the room was not the best, it was a very cheap trip away. The location was fabulous and sitting out on the terrace watching the sun go down was amazing! Overall, great value for money. Thank you guys!!
"Disappointing stay"
A mixed review today! The staff everywhere were lovely. Most impressive was Eloise who did some treatments for myself and my daughter - absolutely outstanding and what a lovely girl too. Our family room was dated, the curtains didn't fit so lots of light came through all night and the hot tap was dangerously hot as well as not being fixed - good job only adults were in the room! The barman was lovely but what a terrible choice of gins available!! Only two Gordon's and one Tanqueray Sevilla! So disappointing. So I had a bottle of Gavi but that needed ice as it just wasn't cold enough. Dinner (goats cheese salad) was very ordinary, saved by the Apple & Blackberry crumble which was delicious! As for breakfast, well that was barely warm & again disappointing - we could have gone with something from the kitchen as opposed to the buffet but wanted to get on with using the tennis court and the sauna before we left! My experience of Best Western hotels previously has been pretty good - not this time sadly. The only reason we'd return would be to have a treatment with Eloise, definitely wouldn't stay again - sorry.
"Another good stay at the Webbington."
This is our third visit to the Webbington. This time we stayed in the old house and the views were amazing. As always the staff are so so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We even asked for a brighter light bulb to be added to one of the bed side lights. Upon our return the bulb had been changed and the light much improved. The breakfast is good and the location is perfect for seeing our family in Wells and Street. We will be back and defianely stay again in the old house. Thanks to all at the Webbington!
"Loved it"
Was a lovely place to stay. Just a night away to get away from the stress at home. The spa area was lovely the pool was lovely. The staff are amazing super friendly. The hotel had so much to offer .Food was out of this world also. Really helpful and will definitely be back.
"Not what we expected"
Stayed for one night, meal in restaurant not up to standard, my wife ordered the Salmon salad it stated on the menu that it came on a bed of leaves, there were no leaves just iceberg lettuce, we also ordered two coffees at the end of meal, what we got was two half cups of sweetened milky weak coffee at a cost of £4:25 each,we did complain at the time about meal and coffee's (nothing done), we complained again on checkout and they agreed to take coffees off of bill. Also there is no Disabled parking near reception ( just two spaces round back of hotel )
"A hidden gem"
Lovely hotel with great views. We came for an anniversary party and everything went very smoothly. Great value for money in a beautiful part of the world. Excellent customer service - we weren't planning on needing it, but they were exceptionally helpful when we discovered we'd left something behind. Would definitely stay again !
"One of the worst places I have ever stayed"
Thought we would give the webbington a go on our recent trip after deciding not to pay £20 extra for another hotel. But now we wish we paid the extra The hotel is very dated but and the rooms could do with updating or even just the light bulbs changing for brighter ones , the beds are not comfortable at all ,but on a whole it was clean . The food which we paid for dinner and breakfast in which you get £30 each for dinner to spend was some of the worst I've ever eaten , i opted to go for the 8oz steak which come to £26 and had to use the remaining £4 for the peppercorn sauce which was £3.50 my wife for a chicken salad was also rubbish , the brownie my wife had was the best thing we ate. Breakfast was a 5 out of 10 , the mushrooms were good as was the scrambled egg and fried toast , but when I cut the sausage fat more than a normal sausage spewed out and I didn't want to eat them. The spa facilities were ok the pool was clean etc but upon leaving the pool which was pretty cold , we looked for the steam room and sauna to be told we would need to walk right through the gym to get to it which could be embarrassing for some people . Probably the best bit was the staff they are very polite and helpful ? I have read other review saying well it's a 3 star what do you expect ... my answer 8s alot more than what you get Overall 2/5 Would never go back again even if I was paid too
"Amazing as always"
We spend every anniversary at the Webbington because its a special place to us both. Every year and including the last one has been amazing. The staff are exceptionally friendly and will do anything to make your stay special. The waitress Sharon was as lovely too and so friendly. Its always nice when people stop to actually talk to you which is what we had last week. The food (as always) was amazing and really tasty. We had dinner and breakfast and both did not disapoint and there were plenty of choices. I really like plum tomatoes with my breakfast which is offered in a buffet style and always hot. The manager of the hotel has gone above and beyond to ensure our stay is just as special as before... this year was more so (thankyou). We always have room 4 which is more of a suite and has amazing views. The room has so much room with a corner bath and shower in the bathroom. Thanks again to the whole team.
"Country Retreat."
Love this Hotel ,been many times,Lovley staff good food like exploring the gardens. nice quiet area nice warm swimming pool good choice for Breakfast would highly recomend this Hotel easy to visit Cheddar Gorge and Cribbs Causeway .cant wait to come back.
"Disappointed stay. Not as you would expect from a best Western hotel.!"
We recently stayed as a surprised stay after a long hospital stay. Very disappointed in many areas. But to start with a positive the staff were friendly and tried to make it a positive stay. But unfortunately stay was very disappointing. Moved room on arrival as offered a very disappointing room in the extension. What we were then given was small, very cold and tired room with zero views ( which is disappointing as the hotel is built in a beautiful area.- photos attached) The carpet on the stairway to our room was dirty on arrival and remain dirty until day six, when at last we were delighted to see it finally been hoovered. Doors and windows on the stairwells dirty etc Simple things like this can be rectified so easily. If you're just staying a night or two, you probably wouldn't notice this but if you plan to stay any longer it was obvious that the hotel needed some TLC. Breakfast was buffet style which is ok but it was dried out and of poor cheap quality products. And one morning the haddock I had ordered came out still frozen inside. We planned to use the spa and pool daily but disappointed that both the steam room and sauna are a long walk the other side of a large gym and no where near the pool. Not a walk we were willing to make thru a busy gym. The pool was ok if a little cold but the area could do with some tlc. Some a real shame as this hotel is situated in a beautiful area with stunning views and could be so much better. We often stay at best Western hotels and this one unfortunately was a great disappointment and not the standard we expected.
"Very impressed"
Great. We read some earlier reviews and were a little concerned but everything was great. We had a friendly welcome, a decent sized room 5x5m, a friendly barman and very efficient bar service for food and drinks. Only one tiny criticism and that was it took a minute or two to find somebody to request some poached egg. Great breakfast to boot. Very impressed and would visit again. Very convenient for Bristol airport (25 mins away in rush hour).
"What a beatiful experience"
Beautiful building, amazing staff and fantastic food. We booked a family room, great size and very clean. Dinner was lovely, reasonably priced and not a slightest issue with many dietary requests that we had. No lift, but staff more then happy to carry our bags. Reception staff absolutely brilliant, restaurant staff always smile on their faces and we also spoke to a couple of chamber maids, they were all lovely. Gym really well equipped, just a couple of people there with me which I really liked. Again the gym staff really nice and helpful. The pool, sauna and steam room included with the room so an extra bonus really. Plenty of spaces on the car park which is free, all kept nice and tidy. We will most definitelly return!!!
"Will be staying here again soon"
We stayed here over half term after seeing it from the M5 for years, it was worth the visit! We had a family room, which initially we were a bit upset that it was not in the main building, but in fact in the other building at the back. However, we were more than happy that this family room had a great layout and gave the kids some extra privacy. Be aware there is no lift but the staff are more than helpful with helping with luggage if you need it!!! The kids and I really enjoyed the swimming pool and used it plenty. The pool booking system helped make sure we had a quieter time and that it wasnt too busy like other places can get. Had a meal in the restaurant in the evening and the staff were amazing at making sure my son had a meal that was suitable for his allergies. We will be staying again when travelling through.
"Just average"
Rooms are not even close to what they show in the pictures. The manager himself told us that the photos are just for advertising. They did not mention that they don't have any lifts. We had to downgrade our room due to their mistake and still no discount was given. Personally would not recommend anyone to stay here.
"Sisters short break"
Our second stay at the Webbington and as before just lovely, the perfect short break for my sister and I. Very reasonably priced, very comfortable spacious room, nice and warm too for the time of year. Super comfy beds wonderful bathroom with lovely power shower. Staff super friendly and welcoming excellent customer care alround. We booked a slot for the swimming pool which is a good size, clean with seating, changing rooms all perfectly situated within the hotel. We also had a lovely massage. The perfect girly treat and pamper.
"A great find"
Stayed here as I was working in the area overnight and was very happy with my choice. Rooms are well appointed, the staff were really welcoming and the food was great, unfortunately I didn't get chance to use the leisure facilities but they certainly seemed popular with the other guests, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
"excellent staff"
Cracking place, stayed loads of times over the years and never lets me down. Food is great with big portions and bedrooms are a good size and nice and clean. Pool can get busy but the booking system works really well. Best bit is the staff, who are always super friendly and helpful!
"Great stop off on the way to Devon"
Really enjoyed this hotel, it has a great leisure club and staff are fantastic, very welcoming. Rooms are nice, cosy and warm. I ate dinner which was very good and breakfast was even better, both with a great menus. I will certainly return on my next trip down to Devon.
"AVOID THIS HITEL LIKE THE PLAGUE"
This hotel was absolutely disgusting we paid £610 for 6 of us they said it's a 5 star very clean hotel amazing… well it's nothing of a sort it's the shambles very dirty none of the basic cleaning was met there was thick dust everywhere smelt of damp and blood stains on the sheets as if they haven't been changed there was a piercing under the bed it was disgusting x3 rooms we checked out and they were all the same pics to prove AVOID AT ALL COSTS we were also told no manager to give a refund and then they said they can give 10% no thank you managed to get a full refund back on Monday morning after putting a complaint in to head office
"Good but room for improvement"
Room was in my view a bit basic, but it was clean, the shower head was blocked (got quickly sorted after talking to reception) on both nights of our stay the room was cold and had to ask for heating to be turned up as all radiators in the room was cold to touch (on both occasions it was sorted quickly and the radiators was warm) it's was however inconvenient to have to ask every day for heating in the room... At the leisure facilities, the steam room just stopped working during our session, the lady at the front desk said everything looks to be OK and should be working but as it's nearing the end of day there isn't anything she can do about it... On the plus side, the hotel was lovely, the staff friendly and eager to help, the food was lovely and the tables always immaculately set for every occasion, plenty of parking right infront of the hotel.
"Do not book"
Terrible place to stay musky smell dated rooms are not clean extremely dirty and dusty stains on beds and items under beds management not helpful wanted a refund to move hotels refused please don't book here stuck here for another night after this dreading breakfast would not trust the pool
"A little attention to detail could make this pleasant hotel so much better."
The receptionist who greeted us on arrival was exceptionally pleasant and helpful. The public areas and rooms were clean and well maintained. Breakfast was reasonably priced and offered an adequate selection of hot and cold food. We were disappointed to find that the radiators in our room were not on when we arrived and it was uncomfortably cold. They were quickly boosted when we complained, and thereafter the room remained comfortably warm. Facilities in the room were minimalist; one chair, in a twin room, tiny shelf for kettle and brewing facilities, rack for one suitcase had to be searched for and found in the wardrobe which had a rail placed so high that I could not reach to hang my clothes. I am a 'blue badge holder' with limited mobility and a form of cancer that makes my bones extremely brittle. I was unable to shower as there was no non-slip mat in the bath and the glass shower screen was placed so that it could it be opened for access. This meant that there was no accessible grab rail to hold onto while climbing over the bath side and therefore not sensible for me to try. I had to be satisfied with a stand up wash at the sink, not ideal! We were also disappointed to find on our return around 10pm that no food is available after 9pm. We thought that hot chocolate might be more satisfying than tea or coffee when we returned to our room, but there was only one sachet of chocolate provided. Not an unpleasant stay but too many small things made it less than good.
"My wife's 40th, great massage, pokey dirty room,terrible restaurant"
I booked to take my wife away for a lovely spa day for her birthday, I had a couples massage booked for 2pm, on arrival at 1 ish we thought we would head to the spa to relax before our treatment, this was not possible as they clean the area between these times. So we went for a drink and bite to eat in the bar. Returned for our massage which was fantastic so we then thought we could relax in the spa for the rest of the afternoon…. But no the “spa” was a gym which had a steam room and sauna at the back so had to walk through the gym to get to it, there was a pool but not the relaxing day I had hoped for. We checked into our room which to be honest was abysmal, no hot water in the tap, shower was mediocre, hairs and spiders all around the bathroom, the double room was two single beds pushed together, I mean who still does that. I've paid half the price and stayed in a far better premier inns than this room. We booked a table in the restaurant where I thought a nice dinner with some good food a bottle of wine and that would be a lovely evening, but….. the restaurant was baron and uninviting, we were greeted by a cheery and friendly waitress, but if I'm honest she was the best bit about the restaurant, the menu was embarrassing (as a chef I'd not be happy to call that menu restaurant standard, it was pub grub at best. All in all a very disappointing stay for my wife's 40th the best thing about the place was the staff, the building was uninviting or welcoming not somewhere I would ever pick to stay again.
"Excellent Spa Break"
Just returned from 4 wonderful days at Webbington Hotel & Spa to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. Everyone at the hotel was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was plentiful and delicious. We made excellent use of the sauna and steams rooms at the end of each day of exploring the surrounding area. From the moment I originally rang and spoke with Kat on reception to discuss the booking, we had a great time. Thank you!
"Welcoming and Great Value"
Just back from my 4th stay in Webbington Hotel &Spa.All the staff were so helpful and friendly.The room was basic but clean and a good size,the bed were really comfortable.There is a very good pool,sauna and steam room.I didn't use the gym but looked well equipped.
"Relaxing and friendly"
Had a great stay! Staff appear happy, friendly and approachable. Brilliant meal in the restaurant and clean everywhere. Will visit again. Especially, with the great pool, spa and gym. Exceptional value, great for parking and access to the m5
"Wouldn't go back, very tired and needs a make over very soon."
So given the location and the building which looked fabulous driving up to it, it was a let down to be honest. very tired and old which is fine, but there has been no thought at all gone into the decor. The Library, No side lights working (we tried), fire wasn't lit as probably couldn't be bothered. no ornaments to speak of, just some tinsel thing which was just hideous, just no thought had been put in to it at all, beautiful dark wood would benefit with some great pieces which wouldn't cost a lot. the bar was ok just no atmosphere, again dark and dingy. The bed, it was awful and we didn't sleep at all well, you felt like you were going to fall out anytime, get some new mattresses please. The Pool, the sauna and steam room were separate which was awful, you came out of a nice warm pool room into freezing cold air con gym to get to steam and sauna. then back out again to go back into pool. not my idea of fun. The breakfast was ok in the morning, sausages were awful for being locally sourced. The Bournemouth Best Western is such a lovely hotel all round that I was pretty surprised when I arrived here that the standards were not meeting my expectations. Best Western chain, this hotel needs a make over, can I come over and do it for you as I had so many idea :-), (that was a joke) but please get this beautiful building back up to scratch going forward.
"Lovely baby shower afternoon tea"
Had my baby shower here and from the off Scarlett in the events team was so helpful and really accommodating. The venue is beautiful, we had the Library room all to ourselves and it was perfect! We had an afternoon which was really tasty! The staff were so attentive with making sure we were topped up with tea or coffee! And the staff in general were just lovely! Scarlett also checked in with us to make sure everything was ok which was great. Highly recommend the Webbington. Thank you so much for a special day!
"Past Glories"
Waited a long while at check in desk before someone returned. We arrived at 2.15 and where curtly told Check in is not until 3 o.c Menu for our evening meal was limited pricy and unappealing so ate else where , The whole hotel has a run down faded feel. Breakfast is self service So cold soggy bacon and dried out sausages were the order of the day, Was a great place to stay in its hay -day sadly not any more
"Very good value for money."
Staff very friendly and helpful. Food very good. Spa excellent. It was very cold and rooms were not kept warm. Coats had to be worn in the bar and restaurant. It would have been lovely if the open fire in the library had been lit but it was not. The entire place could do with a face lift - it is exactly the same as when I visited about 8 years ago. However, I would go again in the warmer weather - perhaps "shabby sheek" best describes it!
"The worst sleep I've ever had in a hotel"
The hotel mattresses were terrible on both beds, even my 12 year old woke up saying it was the worse nights sleep he had ever had. The curtains were not sufficient in keeping the light out, we were in room 5, directly opposite the stairwell of the other side of the building, with the lights on all three floors blazing on all night. My 6 year old woke up and 3:30am assuming it was morning! The pool shuts very early, 6.30pm, and the water was very cold. The breakfast was cold and subpar, with no staff available to help you. We ended up leaving early, after just 1 night, as we could not face spending another night in the hotel. Upon early check-out the manager told me he was unable to issue a refund for the unspent nights and that this would be dealt with by head office. I'm still yet to hear from them!
"Wow, what a wonderful wedding venue."
What a fantastic place to have a wedding. The Webbington is a beautiful venue in an amazing location with friendly, attentive and exceptionally polite staff where nothing is too much trouble. Scarlett, the wedding coordinator does an amazing job and made us all feel like our daughter's wedding was as important to her as it was to us. The whole day was seamless and everything was so organised, the food was amazing and several of our guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. Lots of the guests, including ourselves stayed the night of the wedding and we were all impressed with the rooms, food and facilities. Many guests had the opportunity to use the pool and spa facilities and absolutely loved it. We would highly recommend The Webbington for a lovely hotel stay and especially as a wedding venue. Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful wedding experience.
"Short Break"
Good breakfast and excellent helpful staff. Very much enjoyed our stay while visiting family. Used the spa facilities. Pool could have been warmer but was well maintained. Steam room and sauna very good. Member of staff at spa was very helpful.
"Unfortunate Experience"
Hotel is in a great location for heading to nearby Cheddar or Weston Super Mare, even Bristol if you are driving and don't want to be in the city. Our room was very basic & had cobwebs on the ceiling in multiple areas, we were woken by a group of young lads staying on the floor below who were shouting & knocking on doors at early hours of the morning. The same group were blasting music the second night of our stay. The breakfast was good, lots of options & they cater for allergies. There was a wedding on the second day of our stay, this made using the bar very uncomfortable as we felt like we shouldn't be there. We opted for a Chinese our room. I think an unfortunate experience on this occasion.
"Give this place a wide berth"
Was here for 2 nights for a course. Arrived late as had a 4hr drive. Ordered at the bar to be told there was no salad for the salmon salad… got a cheese and tomato ciabatta. Ciabatta was stale and rock hard. Not a great start. Booked an executive room, it looked like a room in an old people's home. Dated, old fashioned and needing some attention to the cobwebs hanging off the light fittings. Large hair stuck to the wall in the bathroom. The food- we were provided with lunch on the course and it was awful. Roasted potatoes on the Monday lunch “Buffett” were clearly left over from Sunday. It was a mish mash of food that was like a 1980's Buffett your nan would through together on short notice with the odds and sods out the freezer. The 2nd day lunch included spare ribs. There is more meat on a butchers pencil then there was on those ribs! Nearly everyone on the course agreed the food was diabolical. Along the corridor where the rooms where appeared to be where “lost property” was kept! The grooves in the windows were stuffed with pens, paper clips, a spring from a mattress, odd earrings and even a chocolate from Halloween.. again brings into question the cleanliness… Staff were nice hence the 2 stars
"Sharon was fantastic"
I was here for two nights on a business trip. Nice hotel bit dated but clean, food was lovely all cooked fresh Staff were professional and friendly, special mention to Sharon who was so warm and friendly, I will book here again because of her she made me feel at home ………. Scenery is absolutely stunning in drive to hotel
"Used as airport hotel, Value"
Excellent customer service when I had to change my plans slightly from Katrina and Rowan on reception. Stayed here a few times now. Perfect before early flight out of Bristol airport and also close to some lovely walks around cheddar gorge or similar
"welcoming and helpful"
Very welcoming friendly helpful staff that go extra mile … Rowan helped us with our booking, welcomed us and answered questions courteously. Suggested places to visit and provided a map with advice and friendly manner… other staff also exceptional but I don't remember the names
"Wedding weekend "
We stayed last weekend for our son's wedding. Executive room was spotless and spacious. The only complaint was that the mattress was too hard but that's my personal preference. Evening meal was excellent and a good variety ,as was breakfast. All staff were friendly and welcoming. The wedding day itself, everything ran smoothly and was well organized, it was faultless. Would highly recommend the venue, it was in a lovely setting.
"Friendly staff"
Very friendly staff. Room clean, décor a bit dated. I used the leisure club, which closed early at 19:00 on Sunday (sauna at 18:30). Due to the age of some of the hotel areas there are internal steps in many places, including within the leisure club to access different areas (pool, gym on 2 levels). The sauna and steam room at one side of the gym area, and you need to walk through the gym and up some steps to get to the 10m long pool. I do not think this venue is suitable for wheelchair users. The gym has a good range of equipment.
"Somewhere to hide away from busy lives"
Our fourth stay and we are already planning a stay next year. A lovely friendly hotel in a peaceful position with rural views. The pool, gym and sauna are also a bonus. Food is really good and reasonably priced. The breakfast is great. It feels like our little haven, away from the over populated place we live.
"Good hotel with great service"
We had a great stay last weekend, enjoyed the pool and sauna. The staff are brilliant and really ensure a relaxing break. Beautiful location with lovely views. Room in courtyard clean and well decorated. Food good in the evening, fairly standard menu but well executed.
"Very Handy M5 Stopover."
Night Stopover Whilst original building has seen better days externally, very comfortable stay including excellent room with a superb mattress on bed. We didn't have time to use the leisure facilities or dining room but both looked more than satisfactory. Would definitely stay again,
"Highly recommend"
I have been stopping here regularly for best part of 15 years need i say more…. But i will. The location is stunning if youre feeling energetic crooks peak is well worth a walk up with stunning views. The hotel itself is a stunning building full of character. The facilities in the spa i always use theres nothing better than a sauna and steam after a days work to wind down. The staff are always very helpful and go over and above to make you feel at home. Keep the good work up Rowan see you in a few weeks.
"Great value."
It's our third time here, the staff as always friendly and the spa is well worth the stay. Upgraded to an executive room and apart from some dodgy WiFi would have to say it's great value for money. I don't know what some people expect. Would definitely come here again. Keith and Maggie, Birmingham.
"Heaven"
Wow staff are great and so helpful from the minute rohan greets you on reception you feel relaxed such great value and dont miss breakfast from poached eggs to haddock to a good old fashioned fry up or fruit or or or the list is endless thanks webbington and see you soon
"Very Good"
My first stay at this hotel, my room was nice with a good view at the top of the hotel accessed via a courtyard from the main building. I would like to mention Amanda on reception who was super helpful and enabled an upgrade to a double room next to friends with no problems whatsoever. All in a lovely hotel with character, with a great bar and reading room and a great breakfast which was included. Would stay again.
"Very Good"
Recently stayed at the hotel, and have stayed their in the post. I have to say that other than requiring a spare cushion in our family room, due to the pillows being very flat we have a excellent stay at this hotel. We would also like to say that a lady in particular called Amanda on Reception was exceptionally helpful to our family and very accommodating with reference to swimming pool reservations and information about Wookey Hole. Great customer service at the hotel. And would definately stay there again. The only suggestion would be to add perhaps a pool table to the complex to entertain children after evening meal.
"Weekend away"
We had a 1 night stay here for a little break away. The room was clean but felt a little dated. We had a courtyard room on 2nd floor and there were lots of steps to get there and no lift. Reception was friendly and helpful on checkin and checkout. We had dinner which was really tasty, breakfast the next morning was also nice and well organised. We had a treatment in the spa on the Sunday and that was amazing! Overall it was a good stay but this place could be amazing with a bit of investment to modernise.
"Good value for money"
We had a great stay at the hotel, its a quirky old house don't expect modern. We had a spacious room which was very clean and tidy. My wife really rated the evening meal and gave it 9/10 me 7/10. The staff were very polite from the reception to the waiters. We used the spa, the pool sauna and steam room on our stay which we enjoyed. The gym is very well equipped for guest use too. We would certainly use the hotel again and for the moaners remember you are booking a 3* rated hotel...
Good afternoon. Thankyou very much for this review. We are very proud of our staff & facilities at the Webbington and we will be sharing this with the team. It's a great reward to see our efforts appreciated by reviews such as yours. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Guest Relations team. Webbington Hotel & Spa.
"A great long weekend"
A very welcoming hotel with a well managed fitness gym area which never got too busy. The checkin process for the pool looked like a faff but it was well worth it and we could see how we benefitted from the pool never being too busy. Lots to do in the local area, remote but very easy to find. Farm over the road will let you charge your electric car (for a fee).
"A hidden Gem in the country side"
Have enjoyed staying in this hotel over the years for different functions, my daughters wedding, a friends 50th wedding Anniversary party, a works Christmas party and again last night for our 21st Anniversary as a couple, each time we've had a different room and every time slept so well and not because of the alcohol, the beds and pillows are perfect never woken with a stiff neck lol yes it has so many different levels steps and it can be a maze to get around with some creaky floors and dated interior but this is what makes this hotel stand out from the rest it can cater for large party's smaller groups and couples, it's situated in a country setting it's has a spa lovely swimming pool sauna and steam room included in the price which we really enjoyed it's relaxing, All the staff are friendly helpful and smiling a great atmosphere. It's a gem and I know we will be coming back again in the near future, if we lived closer we'd jump at the chance of having a membership to the leisure and spa part highly recommend
"Don't go there"
Do not stay at this hotel. Too many steps. Lack of information when you arrive. Manager insists the you were told you need to book breakfast at reception. Was not and he was extremely rude. Asked for refund for second night of stay. Left anyway after one night. No refund. Bed extremely hard and outsid lights outside on all night.
"Scruffy, grubby, worn out and tired. It won't be hard to find better alternatives."
On a week long tour of the UK this was our final stop. Oh dear. As a one time resident in this area this was always the place to go, I'd suggest nowadays it's the place to avoid. What's sad is that the staff were so friendly and helpful and having to work within this environment must be quite soul destroying. It's a sad, scruffy, grubby worn out shadow of its former self. The owners, I believe Latona Leisure, should be ashamed. This place has been neglected for too long, it needs a total refurbishment. Even worse is that its price point is no lower, even higher in fact, than most of the other places we stopped at around the country. Shame on those who tout this as they do.
"Just my view"
The hotel is dated and has lots of quirky corridors. We were in Room 18 (up in the attic) and due to the building layout of the room hubby bumped his head on the ceiling during the night making his way to the bathroom. I would not recommend this hotel if you have walking difficulties; plenty of steps/stairs and I dont think their website makes you aware of this. I didn't see a lift either. Reception toilets have been modernised and I feel is out of place with the rest of the hotel style. We booked restaurant at reception for 4 people but the information had not been relayed; this wasn't a problem as the restaurant wasn't busy. On being seated we were told we would need to order deserts at the same time as placing our main order as the kitchen closes at 9pm. This would have made a difference to our booking if we had realised that at the time of making our booking. The menu was limited and we had a "made do" choice. The waitress when questioned about the menu and wine list said she hadn't looked at it. No staff at the bar - you had to phone for someone to serve. Last orders on a Friday night was 11pm. Given the size of the hotel, my impression is there is not enough staff on hand to offer reasonable service. I would say the hotel is ideally located for Weston-super-Mare.
"Manager of the hotel"
After complaining about my stay with the hotel manager and leaving over a day earlier than I booked he offered me £30 to basically shut me up .I got an email today stating if I don't remove my post about my stay he would no longer even refund me that ...I paid over a hundred and sixty pounds to stay in a substand un healthy musty broken room with springs coming through the bed amongst other things .thank you
"Family stay for long trip to Cornwall."
Great overnight stay to break up our trip to Cornwall. The hotel was beautifully old and had the most wonderful views. Family room was spacious, we were a couple with 16 year old and 2 year old. We took our own travel cot, however they supply one at a cost if you don't have one. Breakfast was included in our price, buffet style with everything you could possibly want. The pool was nice, clean and wasn't packed. You had to book your slot beforehand. Lockers are available for free at the pool reception. If you want a sauna / steam you have to walk from the pool to through the gym which is a bit weird as all the gym people look at you! lol. Overall we had a lovely night stay here, the staff were lovely and very welcoming. We would definitely come back.
"Disappointing"
This hotel was 'good enough', but the bed was extremely uncomfortable. Also when we arrived we were asked if we wanted to add breakfast to our stay and we said yes. The receptionist asked us what time and gave us a rundown of how it's works then apparently booked us in for 8am. When we turned the next day we were told we were down as "room only" so we agreed to pay when we had finished. We were made to feel like criminals while they went to check; the staff kept looking over at us to the point of standing in the kitchen doorway and obviously talking about us. Disgusting behaviour, the lid on it was the very fake smile the waitress gave me when she caught me looking their way! Needles to say we ate out the rest of the time. The food was also 'good enough' but certainly not worth £12 each.
"Pleasant Stay"
Very isolated hotel. Friendly receptionist. Rooms are rather dated, our bathroom definitely needed an update. There is a nice bar area with outside seating also a lounge which is so dark and gloomy that it was hard to see. We had a nice meal in the restaurant and staff were all friendly and efficient. Breakfast was buffet style and plentiful and you can order extras from the kitchen. Being in an elevated position there is a lovely view from the bar area but unfortunately not from our room. We enjoyed our stay and visited Wookey Hole and Cheddar.
"What a Dump"
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'.
Good afternoon, In consideration of your review, the hotel team will of course look further into some of the claims made, PROVIDED they are genuine. We do not have a records of any similar complaint chain made to the team at the time of the stay, although if you did ask for help by all means respond. Had some of these issues been reported to the duty manager then at least some positive action or response could have been afforded to you. Your review appears to be anonymous to the best of our knowledge which is your right. The hotel team work hard to make standards positive. If you wish to actually write into the hotel you are welcome so that detailed investigation and response can be made. We have plenty of positive feedback to our team, both written and verbal. This seems to counterbalance your review. With best regards, Guest Relations, Webbington Hotel.
"Great staff. Tired hotel"
An imposing looking hotel with many interesting parts to it. Our room was adequate and the bed comfortable, and the pool was excellent with complimentary towels ,however most of the hotel is very tired and could do with updating. even a lick of paint would help. That said ,the staff were very helpful ,friendly and efficient.
"Best location, not best room or food."
I stayed here for one night on business, the hotel is advertised as 3 star. It's situated in beautiful grounds and the hotel sits perfectly in its location. The room I stayed was in desperate need of a refurbishment, laminate flooring in bathroom and everything was singing 1980s nostalgia to me. The food was terrible. I had chicken curry on the night tasted frozen. The cooked breakfast was horrid.
"Good"
On arrival was greeted with a very friendly, helpful reception and offer to carry my luggage. I loved the old history feel of the building as I walked through, however there was lack of clear direction for rooms & the same for finding the pool, the sauna was not in use which was disappointing, as a cleaner myself the standard wasn't great as I walked through cobwebs and spiders. The room its self was cosy and bed comfortable, the bathroom was clearly new so nice until little things like under the shampoo bottles dirty. The tv remote didn't work properly, and must have thin walls as had someone bang on our door saying our tv was too loud. The breakfast was a good selection, however have to say two people on a small table not easy , maybe they should be for one. And would have loved to know the history of the building, no information about at all. Amazing views from the terrace.
"Short break"
The buffet breakfast was excellent with a very good choice. The dinner menu was acceptable, however a bit limited for my wife. There were excellent amenities with a swimming pool, gym & sauna The staff in the dining area were very friendly & courteous. I was surprised to be asked if I would like assistance with my luggage when I booked in
"Never again! Mouldy dated hotel!"
Never again! Walked through all the smokers stood outside our room into a room that instantly smelt of mould, dated bathroom with broken tiles and mould all around the toilet and pipes. Room very dated, cobwebs, dirty carpet, it was revolting. Arrived late so didn't complain as was leaving early in the morning. Breakfast ok however we were seated after waiting on a table and then told it belonged to someone else and asked us to wait back out on the terrace.very embarrassing. Would never stay her again
"Clean rooms, ok breakfast"
We stayed here for 1 night. Service from receptionist was excellent. To get to our room we had to go downstairs then outside and up more stairs. We didn't see a lift en route to our room. The room was clean but very small. Not much space either side to get into bed. Bed was ok to sleep on and the shower worked well. There was no shower gel in the room but thankfully we brought our own. Amenities for tea, coffee and extra pillows were located in the wardrobe. Plenty of hangers if required. Sauna was out of order on arrival. Be sure to prebook the pool if you wish to use. We asked at reception and it was fully booked when we arrived so weren't able to utilise this extra service.
"Very mixed reviews some ok some bad"
Overall mixed reviews here. Location is very secluded so pre warning to anyone even wanting a local shop - you will need to drive. Check in was ok, i was told i needed to ‘book' pool slots though which i find a bit odd for a leisure hotel, and i wasn't told this when they took my money for the massage i booked either. After a walk into the old courtyard building, the room was very dated, dingy and just had a cold feeling to it. Tried to use the QR code to book a slot for the pool - that didn't work, so we just headed down. Managed to get a swim in for 10 mins before being told it was fully booked ?. Sauna was out of action also. Then tried to book in for the morning to coincide with the massage that was booked, again no slots. The massage in the morning was very nice however. Bed - hard and springy, pillows rubbish and all i heard all night was what seemed like big foot above us, you could hear every walk the room above us did, every toss and turn, the creaks and nosies from the floor boards were extremely loud, to top that off, the fire alarm was going off for no reason at 7am. This hotel just had a typical best western scummy feel too it , i mean they were calling the room at 11:09am because we hadn't been to reception yet to check out - even though i asked the woman on reception about the misses getting changed from her massage which was booked 10-11am. Her response “theres changing rooms in the gym” - Yes if you want to stand drying your hair for 45 mins with a 80's style hair dryer. Oh…unless i wanted to pay another £10 to check out at 11:30…no thanks. On a brighter note, the food was nice, and the service was good in the restaurant, however we asked if we could have our dessert in the room which was fine - however instead of them offering to bring it, they gave me the tray and i had to carry it to my room. Overall not a great experience and they really need to sort out some issues.
"Great gym and pool. Nice location. Hotel okay."
We stayed at the hotel for a 2 night break. We stayed in a family room. The room was spacious enough, beds comfy. The room decor and facilities are looking a bit dated and lacking a few shelves to put things in the bedroom and bathroom. The internet provided was good, so we could stream to our devices. Unfortunately there was an issue with a smell leaking into the room, reported on arrival , they visited the room and provided an air freshener. I followed this up with an email, the hotel was responsive in tackling the issue. All other staff were helpful and pleasant. We had breakfast each morning which was okay. We did have some drinks in the bar on the evening on the terrace during a sunny evening. The Gym and pool. The gym facilities are very good, great mix of machines and free weights. We also used the pool which was very pleasant. Both gym and pool both have great outlook view.
"Great relaxing stay!"
Pleasantly suprised as hotel was so reasonable. Restaurant and bar staff were amazing, reception could be improved sightly with more focus on the customer. Pool was very welcomed being quiet and with lovely views was one of the nicest pools have been in, sadly no jacuzzi, but sauna and steam room in the gym area. Son loved the large gym and I had the best massage from (Joy!) if she would had availability would have had the same the next day! Food was suprisingly good given had read reviews otherwise and room was small but clean with a lovely walk in shower. A great stay, would stay again it exceeded expectation and surpassed a 5 Star hotel we recently stayed in by miles so was not disapaointed! Location was also brilliant, old character villages and very close to cheddar gorge.
"Overnight stop en route South"
We stopped for one night in a family room to break our journey to Dorset. I was a bit worried prior as to whether the family room was suitable as it was myself, my mum and my two teen boys. The room far exceeded expectations clean and very spacious with two alcoves with two single beds ensuring privacy. A nice bathroom with plenty of hot water and complimentary smellies. Biscuits in room and tea and coffee making. The hotel is in a lovely location with a really nice walk at the back. The room was a little noisy and we were woken early by children running and jumping in the room above but that is not the hotels fault. Breakfast a little disappointing we pre booked a time and our table wasnt ready. Also waited ten minutes for bread for toast. Staff all nice and polite , we would stop again . Lots of helpful informative emails prior to arrival. Top tip... Ignore satnav it takes you down awful lanes when there is a much more direct route
"Lovely staff made this a very good experience"
Hotel is a bit shabby and in need of a design makeover (all that dark wood needs painting white or cream, and the lighting needs updating from the 1980s. Plus those saggy sofas in the bar area need replacing). Food isn't brilliant (especially breakfast could do with berries, pineapple and nuts to add to the offering. A proper chef in the kitchen for lunch and dinner would help). But all the staff were delightful and made us feel very welcome. They were helpful, and we felt very relaxed and looked after there. The view is spectacular. Our executive room was large and comfortable (though the double bed gave us backache, the duvet was cheap, drawer space inadequate, and we needed hooks or rails in the bathroom for towels). The swimming pool was great. If the hotel chain that owns the Webbington invested a bit of money in painting all that dark wood, updating the lighting and sofas, it could really be a destination in its own right.
"Comfortable"
hotel and staff are as reliable and comfortable as it always is. Very friendly staff, nice rooms and good but limited food options,,,,no hint of fine dining. been about 7 or 8 times, only downside this time is that you have to book to use the pool which does not work for me otherwise a pleasant stay as always.
"Expected a little bit more for the money we paid!!"
This Best Western Hotel seems very tired and is in need of an overall update! The money per night was expensive for what we got! Our room was clean but was very basic and average, bed fairly comfortable, walls very thin, so noisy, can hear talking easily and the TVs!! There was also no fridge in the room, no shelves in the bathroom! If I had paid less this wouldn't be a problem! But at £150 a night I do expect a little bit better! This does NOT reflect on the staff who were extremely helpful and friendly, and seemed to be under pressure all the time! The Spa and leisure facilities were good, swimming pool lovely and good gym, sauna and steam room. Would also recommend a massage, which was superb, throughly recommend the lady who does these! Would I stay here again, if the price was cheaper! Didn't spoil the enjoyment of our break!
"Great value, excellent staff."
Stayed for 2 nights whilst visiting friends who live in Cheddar. Really good location, great room rates for this time of year. Really impressed with all the staff. The receptionists in the hotel and pool area were really nice and helpful as was the housekeeper. The room was really clean.
"Very comfortable stopover with excellent breakfasts and a great pool"
My wife and I stayed twice, breaking our onward and return journeys to the SW. Both occasions were a real joy, and it was delightful to be able to swim shortly after booking-in. The pool is a good size, very clean and just the right temperature. Our first room was a spacious, Superior Room overlooking the terrace. It was Monday, very quiet and perfect for our needs. We chose a secluded Standard Room for our return trip as we knew that a wedding was taking place. It was smaller, but comfortable, quiet and perfect for our needs. Both rooms had generous hospitality trays. The buffet breakfasts were lovely, with a generous choice of eats and drinks - staff were very helpful. We did not eat in the restaurant. The bar has deep leather sofas where we played Scrabble - Well. we are elderly! Parking was spacious and provided some tree shade. I struggle with stairs and the only downside is that the rooms required a lot of climbing. We needed help with our baggage and the staff could not have been kinder - well done, everyone! We will definitely stay there again.
"Avoid if you can"
Stayed here for a friends wedding which I won't comment on, just my experience as a hotel guest. Our room smelled damp and musty. It was incredibly hot so all windows opened. Room clean enough. Guests in room next to us were noisy and smoking out their window, smoke came straight into our room. Tried to call the night porter but no answer. In the morning there was no hot water for the tap or shower. Mentioned during check out and reception weren't bothered. If we weren't there for a wedding, we wouldn't have stayed.
"Fanatstic staff and a good location for seeing family and local attractions"
We enjoyed our stay here. The staff, as other reviews state, were amazing. Location is amazing too. We used the hotel as a base to see family and go out and about. As others state, there is a need for a huge capital investment in the rooms. Ours was always cleaned before our return and the staff are really superb. A gold star all round. For us, we would return, as the location and staff are super.
"Our short stay at The Webbington Hotel and Spa."
The whole of the experience from start to finish was amazing. The whole staff from reception, the breakfast/dining room staff/ the pool receptionist and even a cleaner we met were all very pleasant, polite, friendly as well as being very helpful and couldn't do enough for us and treated us like royalty. The our room and en-suite were all spotless and well presented and was a pleasure to stay in. The dining room was very clean and well set out and the food was absolutely fantastic and delicious well prepared with tip top ingredients and again well presented the waiters and waitresses were amazing and very friendly. The swimming pool was again very clean well set out and the staff were very pleasant and very helpful. A very big thank you to everyone above as you made short stay so wonderful and memorable, we shall definitely stay at The Webbington Hotel And Spa again.
"Excellent Customer Service"
Absolutely beautiful location, food gorgeous, staff made the stay even better very attentive. Will return
"Avoid this hotel"
We have been using this Hotel on and off for the last 5 years. Unfortunately it has gradually got worse over the last couple off years . Stayed for one night last year got in late feeling very tired after a long journey and had an early start the next morning. We don't try the shower just the bath and obviously wanted the shower before leaving the next morning. The shower didn't work which was very annoying. Mentioned it on checking out thinking that they may have said would you like access to another shower before you go but we just got a response off …okay, we'll mention it to the maintenance team. As there were others waiting to check out we just left saying we'll take it up with management With a phone call. Which I did and was given an apology and told the next time we stayed we would be given an upgraded room. We decided to give it another go as it's in and ideal position for breaking up our journey. We booked two rooms and were told they were their executive rooms. Again we were very tired after an even longer journey than usual due to traffic, the rooms were next door to each other. I realised as soon as I walked in that they were a long way from being executive. My room had lots off dust and a very badly stained carpet and grubby bathroom. The other member off my family had a room that didn't look like it had been dusted or cleaned since the last occupancy. I reported it and they sent someone to clean it. After they left the family member turned on the shower not realising immediately that the water was not going down the plug and filled the shower tray and was over flowing out on to the bathroom floor. It was topped off with a very poor quality breakfast
Dear Edda, Thank you for your review and feedback on your previous two stays with us, the first of which was over 8 months ago. I do apologize regarding your room cleanliness; however I am pleased we were able to quickly rectify this by sending someone to clean your room again. Unfortunately, we were not aware of any issue with the plug hole in your second room, I note that you were provided a different room due to this issue and this has since been rectified. I apologize that you were disappointed with your breakfast, however I understand you did not mention this to any of our waiting staff, managers or receptionists during your stay, therefore providing us with no way of rectifying the situation or unravelling your vague feedback. Unfortunately, in a busy Hotel, things can go wrong, if we are made aware of issues, we can look to fix them, as we did with the points you have raised above. As you are aware, our staff went to great lengths to resolve the issues you had , yet you felt the need to post such a damning and vindictive review. Unfortunately, we feel this is not the right Hotel for you.
"Wasn't worth the money"
We wanted a special night for our anniversary but our room was very dark very small & looked out on to a wall. There was nothing at all going on like music or anything so just sat & had a few drinks & a meal. Meal was ok but for the price excepted a bit more. Breakfast was standard
"Pleasantly surprised"
Stayed here for one night while travelling to Cornwall. We were a little concerned after reading the reviews about the meals from the restaurant. So glad we decided to give it a go. Entering the restaurant there were around fifty people already seated and we expected a wait to be served. However Jack the waiter was very professional, attentive and a throughly nice man. The food was delicious, so don't be put off and give it a go.
"A Curate's Egg!"
We stayed at this hotel with a group of 20 friends on a Dinner Bed and Breakfast basis for 4 nights. On the plus side this rather faded hotel is blessed with lovely, friendly and helpful staff, lovely views (although the M5 does detract a little) and its proximity to many attractions. Rooms are OK but a bit spartan. No fridge but we could get fresh milk from the bar for our tea, so that was acceptable. The spa is excellent and access to the pool was good. The major issue related to the food included with our package. The buffet breakfast was OK with plenty of choice, although the bacon was overcooked and the sausages were rather strange. We had to pre-order each night's meal which you might have thought would result in some excellent food, having given the kitchen time to prepare and deliver it all. Not so unfortunately. Portion sizes were skimpy, presentation unimaginative to say the least and almost every main course was bland in the extreme - you get better in Hospital. The most forgettable meal was the 'Pork Casserole' dished up on our last night, the recipe for which must have been.... take 10 grams of a 2mm thick slice of pork and dice into 5mm squares, add to vegetable stock with thinly sliced leek and carrot.....serve a couple of spoons full on a flat dinner plate. The cook (not a chef by any stretch of the imagination) needs replacing as soon as possible! The place needs a bit of investment on small things e.g. umbrellas on the terrace and a lick of paint on the frontage would help. Again full marks to the staff who really made our stay!
"We would return."
We arrived as a coach party, and the staff came out to help transport the luggage to the Hotel. The room was clean and tidy, the evening meal was nice and well presented, staff were very helpful. The staff even packaged an item of clothing which was left behind, then posted home.
Good morning Peter, Thankyou so much for your review here, our staff do work hard to make each stay enjoyable. It is a pleasure and we hope to see you again in the future, Best Regards, Guest Relations.
"Good value for money"
Staff very helpful and friendly. Spa and pool were very clean. Steam room looked new. Food ok, pretty sure a microwave was involved for starters and dessert but it wasn't bad just not amazing. The whole stay was extremely good value - you get better than you pay for. View was beautiful on bar patio. Great value for money. Lots of character!
"Breathtaking views."
Hotel that is situated in a wonderful scenic setting, clean rooms, a good varied menu of delicious meals. And staff that are very polite and helpful, the best I've experienced. Would definitely return. A relaxing hotel offering the opportunity to unwind in the inviting spa
"Avoid."
I've stayed in many hotels in my time, and this was one of the worst if not "the worst" I've ever stayed in. To get to room ( room 118) a "sat nav" would be useful! There are no lifts. Lots of corridors and door to navigate. The room was very small, overlooking some horrible sheds. The room itself was very cold. We tried to turn on the radiator to no avail. The area where the tea/coffee sachets were placed was dirty! On departure, as we passed the rooms that had been "turned around/ cleaned the doors were held open by a towel photo attached.!!
Dear Annette, Thank you for your review. We are surprised to receive your feedback; the Webbington Hotel and Spa was originally an Edwardian Manor, which as stated on all booking sites and your confirmation and pre-stay email, contains stairs to reach the rooms and has no lift. If we are made aware that guests have mobility issues then we can happily provide them Ground Floor Rooms. We are disappointed you chose to ignore this information, which was presented to yourselves prior to check in and instead post this review. As we are into the summer months the Hotel's heating is turned off, however our staff kindly provided you with an electric heater and turned on the heating block especially, yet it appears you failed to mention this in your review. I apologize that you found your tea and coffee area to be dirty however I am somewhat puzzled of your inclusion of a room held open by a towel. Whilst we accept, we do make mistakes, you did not check the information provided to you about our Hotel, you did not let us know that you require a Ground Floor Room and instead chose to vent your frustrations on Trip Advisor.
"Disappointing experience"
A friend and I had one night here and were quite disappointed. She had been before and recommended it but felt that it wasn't as good as a few years ago. The staff were all very friendly and helpful but the hotel itself looked very tired and our single rooms were in the Courtyard area, overlooking some very scruffy rooftops. No sign of the famous view which can be seen from the hotel terrace! The rooms themselves were quite bare: not even a box of tissues or decent mirror for makeup. We had breakfast at 9 and supplies were quite low by then. We paid £83 B&B for a single room each and I really felt it was poor value for money.
Good afternoon, We are sorry to hear of the disappointment described here, we try hard to ensure that guests leave having had an enjoyable stay. Your comments do not say if a complaint was made to our duty manager at the time, they are available to help where possible. We will take on board your comments of course. With best regards, Guest Relations.
"Webbington Hotel"
We had stayed before at the Webbington, we decided to stay again as I was attending a meeting at the hotel. Unfortunately it took three attempts at reception to get the room rate correct (even then I never got the agreed rate for those attending the function), but the downside was a cold room, with excuses that the heating only "came on" at certain times, well it never came on for the first 24hrs and it was only when I requested again that we were given a "tiny" heater which was no use. I will compliment the breakfast and the efforts of the staff who I expect were working their best to cover the imperfections of the hotel. It is a lovely hotel in a splendid location but extremely tired and I hope that Latona Leisure Group pull their socks up and refurbish asap.
"All in all a lovely place, just a bit aged."
A lovely hotel in a lovely location. Very welcoming staff on arrival, even changed the room due to my wife's disability, although there were still a few stairs to negotiate. The room was a bit smaller than I expected in such a large hotel but it was fine. The room and hotel needs refreshing and bringing upto date. The Spa area and pool are lovely and spacious also with friendly staff. The evening meal menu was usual bar meal choice nothing to lavish, but all very nice again with friendly helpful staff. I do suggest you don't go for the 'Bed, Breakfast & Evening meal' package as you may lose out monetary wise, only order and pay for your evening meal separately. A lovely place
"Lovely staff, filthy room"
Staff were extremely helpful. Room was nice (executive room) but it was filthy. Everything was covered in dust, the sink plug had brown gunge, rip in the net curtain. Lunch in the bar wasn't great but the evening meal was lovely with great food. Can thoroughly recommend the spa treatments. This was a surprise for my teenage daughter but so disappointed about the room.
"Great location"
Very small double room quiet and plenty of hot water. Breakfasts OK, but I would have liked to have fried or poached eggs rather than the rubbery scrambled . Dinners not great. But bearing in mind what we paid (£85 DBB) could not complain. Staff very efficient and friendly.Great Location.
"A pleasant place to stay, with lovely views."
Ground floor room as requested, overlooking the courtyard. A bit tired but perfectly adequate for the price. Good shower and handrails in the bathroom which proved useful, although a rubber mat for the bath would have been good, as I nearly slipped whilst showering. We don't eat breakfast but we had dinner on 3 nights which we enjoyed - good menu. Service was excellent, especially as big parties were in for 2 of those nights and the service staff had to go between rooms! All staff were very helpful and friendly. We didn't use the extra facilities - spa, gym etc, so can't comment on those.
"Fantastic hotel with great views"
The room was spacious and clean and had a fantastic view. All the staff were exceptional and the food exceeded expectations.
"Avoid as really awful"
Absolutely dreadful. I shoukd have looked at other reviews. The corridor outside the room stunk of weed which came into the room later in the evening. Called night porter who sprayed some air freshner and that was apparently 'dealing with the issue'. Fire alarm went off at 1am and guests had to wander around outside as no staff were to be seen. Told it was a fault with the alarm and then told next day it was steam from a shower. I think it was from someone smoking weed. Reception staff next day could not give a care and actually got defensive rather than apologising and thinking about solutions as they knew showers set off fire alarms if bathroom door left open (make a sign, it's not hard). Told head office would contact me but didnt even have my email when asked. Provided it and receieved email which gave an unsatisfactory resolution and now I'm being ignored. Please dont stay here and waste your money. Also, the food is 'ok' but very very over priced. Bedding had holes in it which I would have over looked had the rest not been awful and rhe board games were missing most of their pieces. The more I think about it the more ridiculous the experience seems.
Dear 347haydene, Thank you for your clearly fair and considered response which it appears is similar to your feedback left for other establishments. We of course do not condone smoking of any kind in our Hotel rooms, following your comments during your stay, we immediately checked the area and found no clear evidence to support your claims. It is unfortunate that the fire alarm went off during your stay and we do apologise for the disruption. We disagree with your comments regarding lack of staff, as a full and efficient evacuation and then return inside was carried out with support from our designated Fire Marshals. Our Reception staff are regularly praised for their customer service, so we were surprised to hear you found them not caring and defensive regarding your comments pertaining to the fire alarm, perhaps this was due to the way you conversed with them. In addition, following your comments on checkout you were contacted by head office that afternoon however as we did not fully refund your stay, as suggested by yourself, it appears our response was unsatisfactory. We again apologize for any disruption that occurred during your stay however given the way you have presented your feedback to us, we would ask that you please do not stay with us again.
"Good in parts"
This hotel is "tired" and could do with some updating. The hotel has many steps and no lift. This is not clearly stated when booking. We asked to change rooms because of the stairs, we are in our late 70s and had to walk up 38m stairs to get from the car park to the room. Unfortunately, the hotel could not move us to a lower floor as they were all occupied. At 10.30 pm a loud noise started and it was so loud I honestly looked at Google Maps to see how far we were from Bristol airport. I contacted reception and they told me "Ah, this is a problem with the boiler, it is under your room, but it should go off around 11.00 pm". I told them if it didn't we would be checking out!. It didn't go off and to be fair he said we could move to another room and offered to help with this. He moved us to a better room and was very apologetic and helpful. At breakfast, which was very good, the waiter on the last night, usually he was the barman, had no finesse, and when a lady sitting at the next table asked for some fried bread because the server was empty, he got some, and told he by shouting, literally the length of the room, " The fried bread is here for you, darling!". This is not the way to speak to customers in a hotel which is trying to attract customers. The grounds were lovely, the pool was good, and all the rest of the staff were very nice and helpful, and remembered to apologise again regarding the noise in the original room, over again. We would probably visit again, because it was a nice location, but we would ensure we had a room on the ground floor, still 20 steps however.
"Beautiful but not suitable"
The hotel is set in a lovely place and within a short distance to major cities and beautiful scenery. The hotel is old and not very disabled friendly with very difficult access to the hotel and it's facilities. As my partner is disabled we will not be staying again I would recommend it to as none else however.
"A few days of pampering"
Our second visit to this hotel we were so impressed on the first visit we had to come back. We had a standard double room which was very clean with a fantastic on suite bathroom. The on site restaurant was exceptional, we had both evening meals and breakfast. The choice at breakfast was excellent and set us up for the day, the quality of the food was also excellent, I would recommend that you add this to your stay as I don't think you would get a better breakfast for the price. The amenities was included in with price (excluding massages etc) of which we took full advantage of. The staff and the service they provided was exceptionally, and we must thank Miro the manager, Georgia in the gym and Catherine and Ryan in the bar and restaurant to name but a few. We have read other reviews of which some was negative, we did not find the same problems others had mentioned. Yes it is an old building with lots of stairs, but for us that just added to its charm. I am so glad we did not let this put us off from coming as this hotel as it is an understated gem, and are planning our next visit. We would highly recommend a visit.
"wonderful"
Thumbs up from me. Manager (male) and staff very well mannered yet friendly. Well done. Lovely old building full of character. Lunch nice. Nice swim , sauna and steam. Relaxing as a spa environment should be.I'm the biggest coffee snob and the coffee is decent too.
"A mistake to accept he disabled room"
I was kindly offered an accessible room on the ground floor which, at 82 year old, I thought was a great idea! So i accepted. Oh dear! What a mistake. at £98 a night ... a disabled accessible room - double bed , of course. A dressing area. And the most depressing bathroom ever. Nothing at all like any room advertised on the brochure. I was so bitterly disappointed. How I WISH i had looked into the types of room more closely. BUT !! The shower was always very hot . The TV worked. The breakfast was great . And the members of staff, without exception, were polite and friendly. I would stay again IF I knew which bedroom was the one shown on the brochure! Not the depressing dinge-fest that I stayed in! Such a shame. I do think i was a tad mis-led into thinking my room would be much larger than the cubicle I had.
"Short family break."
We had a lovely family break here, the staff were all very friendly and extremely helpful. The hotel was comfortable and food from restaurant in the evening was very good and we had great service level here. My daughter had a lovely time using the pool. The family room was perfect as kids had there own areas where they had some privacy. One small negative wish the lowest volume on TV was quieter. But the positives far outweighed this.
"Exceptional Spa treatments and generally nice Hotel"
Situated in the beautiful Somerset hills, The Webbington Hotel and Spa is a nice place to stay. The hotel staff were lovely, polite and well presented. We paid a little extra for one of the bigger rooms and we were not disappointed. The Spa treatments we paid for and received were exceptional. Lucy R was very sweet and made us feel comfortable and really special during our massages. Highly recommend the Hot Stone Massage and Ultimate Package - Revive and Pamper. The hotel could do with a bit of money spent on it as there are a few small areas that are looking a bit tired, but on the whole, we were suitably impressed and happy with our stay.
"What a fabulous find"
Lovely hotel, staff fabulous especially Catherine. Great service and interaction, 10 stars! Comfy, in a great location. The only downside is it was let down by the cleanliness of the public areas and toilets. Otherwise a relaxing and pleasant stay.
"Its like your nan, old and tired, but you still go see her"
This is a classic, old British hotel. It is charming and quaint, but that does not cover up the fact that it is very, very tired. However, the staff are excellent. The food is all home cooked and is tasty and good value for money. The gym is excellent and well equipped. If you know what you are going to get, it is fine, but dont come here expecting, modern flat screen tvs, coffee machines, swish rooms etc...
"Honest review - Easter weekend stay"
So honest review here We stayed in room 5- the cleanliness of this was shocking my child dropped pencil on floor next to bed - bent down and picked up things like vaceline, hair brush and rubbish from under the bed. (Not ours) The room didn't have a bath - we like a bath. Bed wasn't great and the decor - its needs some work. The spa - this was lovely and the receptionist on Sunday 31st was lovely - she represented the hotel fantastically. Spa had wonderful facilities but I would recommend the hotel invests in a jacuzzi , and to book treatments on the day. Going back to the receptionist of the spa - I would move her to main reception or make her management she was more welcoming to us than the ones on the front desk, made us feel very welcome and helped us a lot. The breakfast - only scrambled egg - wasn't advised we could order poached until after we had eaten. Woke up early and couldn't get a drink until 7:45 - just think they need a drinks machine or something . Views sat on terrace of the local area are breathtaking and can't hear the motorway that much at all.
"One Night Stay, Good Value, Friendly Staff"
Stayed at the Webbington Hotel for one night. Easy check in with helpful friendly receptionist. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. We made use of the bar area for the evening including food which was reasonable. We made use of the swimming pool, sauna and steam room early the next morning before we set off. All in all a good experience
"Great short-day stay (3 nights) Wedding Anniversary"
The Edwardian-style hotel is set in a great countryside location, with some great features & Views. Check-in was very welcoming, the receptionist was very friendly, we decided to extend our stay, and again very efficient and friendly so we could keep the same room. The room was clean with great views, the room did get cold but rang down and reception put the heating on. Housekeeping is very good, friendly, and great service. The restaurant and bar staff were very friendly and welcoming, and Ryan worked very hard, Chef the food was amazing. The spa staff was friendly, and booked a massage with Lucy R. and Eloise fantastic very relaxing, and worth every penny, booked another massage for the following day with Eloise. Both my husband and I suffer from joint pains and this was amazing my husband booked another massage for me (Surprise) on the day of departure, Eloise you are amazing. Thank you to all staff, everyone works so hard in all departments behind the scenes and front line. Thank you we shall return Sally & Mark
"Poor visit"
Me and my sister in law booked the hotel as it looked nice and great value with a spa. Well so disappointing the room was cold and was mouldy. We went for a swim early. I'm not a strong swimmer so I was doing widths not lengths a lady in the pool at the time told me to stay in the shallow end as I was interrupting the other people in the pool (2 people) She was a club member she kept on to my sister in law. We both felt uneasy and didn't enjoy. Secondly we couldn't use the sauna or steam room as it was closed very disappointed again. We then had breakfast which was very poor not butter poor choice of fresh fruit and the cooked food was poor. We not fussy but this wasn't a great stay and would definitely not return. On the positive side the staff were so friendly and polite.
Good evening, We are sorry that you found disappointment at the Webbington. We cannot see any record of a similar complaint being made at the time. It maybe that you did not mention the issues to a duty manager. They are onsite during daytime hours to help with any such issues as you have pointed out. Regards,
"Spa weekend for me and my wife"
Absolutely lovely hotel and very friendly staff. Me and my wife had a long weekend spa break and I can't fault it. The food was incredible and the staff are excellent . We used the pool facilities and the spa and had a couple of treatments pre-booked. The staff were on hand with everything we needed. They even had a lovely quiet ‘library room' for a quiet afternoon coffee.
"Location good for Cheddar Gorge"
Location was good but hotel really needs a makeover. Room was tired and although clean just didn't feel it. Gym was okay. Very old fashioned and noisy from rooms above. Plenty of parking. Staff friendly enough but didn't interact with many. We got the room through points so please I didn't pay actual money. Would not stay again.
Good evening, We are very sorry that you did not find the stay to your liking. Our team work hard to make guests welcome and our maintenance team work equally hard to make sure the building is in good shape. The hotel is a period building dating originally from 1907 so this is reflected as part of the charm. We respect your comments and will of course share with the management team. With best regards,
"Fantastic"
Fantastic stay. The staff are attentive, friendly, helpful. The location is great for walkers and close to Cheddar. Rooms were clean and tidy. Can't ask for more, thank god first impressions are often wrong because as we first went to park up we were greeted with a view of a long and falling apart disused room with the wall falling apart… some simple blinds would have helped improve our first impression. Want to empathise that the woman on the reception was great and very helpful, the restaurant staff were wonderful (and the food was delicious!) and a special thanks to Victoria- a passionate worker who dealt very well and professionally to a difficult situation, and who brought to our attention the place's rich history. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone who works here is a credit to the establishment.
"Impressed with staff"
Stayed here for 2 nights and had 3 rooms for our family. All the rooms were decent with good en-suites. Buffet breakfast had good range of hot, cold options as well as items cooked to order. Very nice 10m pool where you could book slots online and decent gym. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Parking was easy with plenty of spaces
"Good value and friendly staff"
Fabulous hotel which offered great value for money. There were parts of the hotel that were tired and needed some refurbishment but the friendly staff and the great sized rooms plus excellent leisure facilities made up for that. Great breakfast too
"Gym Membership"
I joined this hotel's gym last month and am very pleased with all it has to offer. It is large and well equipped for a hotel gym. The sauna and steam rooms are fantastic. It never seems that busy, so I can always use the equipment without waiting. Lastly, all the staff and fellow members are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
"Good short break"
Clean,efficiently run hotel with friendly helpful staff. Questions quickly answered/sorted. Plentiful breakfast with additional items cooked to order. Good views from the bar/terrace spoilt by motorway noise.
"Lovely stay"
We have just had a lovely 2 night stay at the Webbington Hotel. The staff there were brilliant, very friendly, helpful and cheery. We ate in the restaurent both nights and the food was absolutely fine, tastey, hot and there were no delays in the service. Breakfast was also very good. We had an executive room which had a bit more space, it was perfectly clean and the bed was really comfortable. We also enjoyed using the pool in the evenings and mornings. Its a 3 star hotel but it felt like our stay exceeded that. I would certainly stay again and would recommend it to friends.
"Lovely stay"
Really lovely hotel with polite and helpful staff. We had breakfast and dinner in the bar which was reasonably priced and good quality. Room was clean and the en-suite facilities were great. Room complimentries were basic but standard (coffee, tea, biscuits) but no water. We would definitely stay again.
"A lovely stay. Exceptional value."
I enjoyed staying here, it's a beautiful old house, and I was lucky enough to get a room in the old part. The room had everything I could possibly need, and more. There was the added bonus of being able to use the lovely indoor pool, steam room and sauna. Free of charge for guests. Value for money for my stay was phenomenal. Especially bearing in mind I was on my own, and solo travellers usually get hit with huge single supplements. I also need to mention the staff. Each one was polite, friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble, and they all went above and beyond to make my stay a good one. A real credit to Best Western.
Good evening, Thankyou so much for providing a great review here for us. The team do work hard to make each guest's stay enjoyble and we are most pleased to see your response. We hope that we can welcome you again in the future.
"Good hotel"
Nice room for price (not massive but more than enough for a night). Whole hotel looked nice. Good location (need car). Unfortunately for us was last min stay on way home do no swimwear etc to use pool or spa facilities but all looked nice.
"Great service received."
I had some very particular dietary requirements which I forgot to let the hotel know of prior to arrival. At dinner i spoke with the lady who served me ( Georgina ) and I found her so helpful and kind. She went to see the head chef and came back with great news , my requirements not only met but exceeded. This is what I call great customer service.
"One Night Spa"
Warm welcoming hotel. Staff really helpful and friendly. Cleanliness excellent. Room was so spacious, clean and luxurious. Plenty of towels and extra bedding. Recommend using the Spa facilities with some fabulous treatments on offer to make you feel completely relaxed and pampered. We used the pool and was lucky enough to have the pool all to ourselves. Recommend using the Restaurant lovely fiood
"New Year's Eve Celebration"
The Team at the Webbington Hotel most certainly know how to put on a celebration, we have been going to the hotel to celebrate New Year for many years and each year the Team impress. We always have wonderful memories and will always return as we appreciate all the hard work that goes into making the party such a success.
"Hotel needs updating"
Just got back from a 1 night stay. We stayed here around 5 years ago and couldn't wait to come back. Honestly wish we hadn't bothered. The place looks so run down, it's in desperate need of a refurb. I found it really unclean and there was a really musky smell. It honestly put me off eating on site in the restaurant. Our room was ok and a lot cleaner than communal areas however we had an issue with the internet which meant we had none all evening and no phone signal as we were up on the top floor. We paid for an executive room which in my opinion was pretty bog standard other than a bigger bed! To top off our stay the fire alarms went off randomly in the middle of the night. Breakfast was OK but nothing special. Staff were nice and location was good with beautiful views We did receive 15% off as I complained but we won't be staying again.
"Worst Best Western experience for a long time......"
I stay in Best Western hotels 2 nights a week on average. If I'm going to arrive late, I always call ahead to check that the hotel operates a late check in facility and then I follow this up with flagging my expected time of arrival on the reservation notes. I did both of these ahead of my stay at the Best Western Webbington Hotel & Spa and was told on that checking in at 1am - 2am wouldn't be an issue as there was a night porter. I duly arrived at about 1.05am and at reception there was a couple waiting to check in. They explained that they had been waiting for 40 minutes and hadn't seen anyone to check them in. This not being my first rodeo I scanned the desk for the night porter sign as there's usually an out of hours number to call if they are on a break etc. Nothing. I looked behind the desk and no obvious number. I tried calling the hotel in case he picked up but no nothing. The couple were getting pretty irate by now and the husband went to scour the hotel to see if they could find any sign of the errant porter. I settled down on one of the reception sofas for an uncomfortable nights sleep. About 30 minutes later the husband returns triumphant with the porter in tow. We're all checked in with the porter insisting that the sign (which he'd clearly just put there) was on the desk with the number to call. A depressingly short nights sleep later I checked out. The receptionist asked me if I'd had a nice stay. I said no. She asked why, and had clearly been told by the porter of the previous nights issues saying "didn't you see the sign?". She promised that someone would contact me to discuss....but of course they didn't. Stay here if you want, but I don't recommend checking in late.
"a long weekend"
was staying to drop 1 of to uni accomidation and a bit of local sightseeing , chedder gorge, weston super mare , but weather inteceded , wet wet wet , but a good stay at this hotel , bit of noise from the motorway but not to big an issue , just be aware , handy though for good walks if the weather allows if not stout boots and coat
"Good rate for small room. "
Was a lovely and stunning hotel. The roof terrace was exceptional watching the sunset. Lovely service from the gentleman at the bar. Room was very small but was a good rate. The toilet was quite noisy through the pipes. Made random noises every 2 minutes. Also the noise from the room next door. The TV is on the wall where your head lays in the next room so wasn't ideal. Apart from this. It was comfortable and the fish and chips was delicious.
"Exceptional stay"
We had to head west for a funeral, and searched online for a hotel with pool and steam room to givecus a bit of a feel good factor at a sad time. We really hit lucky here! Friendly and attentive staff, The evening menu had a good selection, quality and service great. Similarly, breakfast selection was really tasty. Tremendous views over the hills from the terrace, reasonable prices - we will be returning. Thank you to the Webbington for looking after us.
"Recommended…."
Five star staff. From the moment we arrived to the time we left, every member of staff was engaging, professional and positive. My challenge is to find out more about the history of the building. A great location that must once have been a place of grander. However, with that in mind the hotel is in need of major investment. Let's just say it is very tired. Whether it's the paint work, carpets, or general condition of furniture, a lot needs to be done. Walking around the grounds we found neglected tennis courts, a car park that needs re surfacing and a pile of dumped mattresses by the 'No Fly Tipping' sign. That said, while the gym equipment was dated there was a good range / amount. The pool better than many, although strange to find the steam room and sauna in a separate areas. We ate in the restaurant and there was no complaints. Well presented food that was good value for money. All that said, for the price for our stay was good value. I would certainly stay again if in the area. I suppose it's for management to decide whether investing money to improve the general environment makes good business sense, although speaking to staff they are very positive and customer focussed.
"Great staff but doesn't make up for a poor hotel!"
I can not fault any member of staff with regards to their hospitality. Everyone was so friendly. However, I found the rest of the experience below satisfactory. The room was outdated and dirty. There was mould in the bathroom (I informed reception who could only apologise). Curtains in the bedroom barely closed- we had to sleep with a gap, which meant we were up at the crack of dawn. Rooms are not soundproof- we heard someone running in their room and also going to the toilet in the middle of the night! The wall also had stains on it. The spa was small and unfortunately, we were unable to use it because the day we had booked to use the pool, there was some sort of chemical issues with the pool. Breakfast food was basic; no pastries or croissants when we went at 7.30am on Monday; they had just finished putting them out at 8am on Sunday, as we were leaving the breakfast area. As I said, the staff were lovely, but the rest of the hotel was not!
Good evening, We appreciate your comments about the staff, indeed they are valued by the whole management team. It is a shame that you do not appear to have asked any of the duty managers (or reception team) for help. They work hard to make everyone's stay as pleasant as possible and would have tried to help in some way. We have made a careful note of your comments and we do hope you will give us another opportunity to welcome you in the future.
"Wedding Party"
Stayed for one night for my nieces wedding which was held on the grounds of the hotel. The natural beauty of the gardens gave the perfect setting for both the wedding ceremony and the photos that followed. Service was great and all friendly when checking in and when generally needed. All in all the Webbington is a wonderful hotel with peaceful surroundings and comfortable rooms. A bit costly, but all the positives make up for it. Buffet breakfast was great and seems like the sausage and bacon are locally sourced to ensure decent flavour. Just make sure you get there early lol
"Hotel excellent value for money. Just dont eat there."
I think this hotel is excellent value for money. The decor is lovely, our bedroom was excellent . It was huge with wonderful rafters. A lovely big bed. Could be improved with bottled water in the room. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. Although tbey clearly do not read trip advisor reviews because they had no idea about the awful reviews their restaurant, had on trip advisor, both under the restaurant name, Tiark , and under the hotel comments. As a result of this we chose to eat elsewhere. The hotel management should really address this. I made use of the swimming pool, which was small but nice. Apparently there is an adult only time between 8am -9am. It would have been preferable to know this when I booked to use the pool at 9am in the morning. It was full of children being summer holidays. Apparently this company dies excellent family deals, which is great but I would have preferred an adult only swim. Would definately recommend the hotel. But wouldn't eat there.
Good evening Clair, Thank you for the positive feedback. We will certainly have a review of the information. We appreciate the comments and details and will ensure we take note.
"Short relaxing break"
Quiet location with a great view, close to Cheddar and beaches. Hotel has everything you need for a relaxing stay: swimming pool, saunas, massage. Staff is quite friendly and helpful, especially Ethan, he is the heart of everything, really awesome guy.
"An Amazing Wedding Experience!"
Myself and my now wife Sophie had our beautiful wedding at The Webbington Hotel and Spa in early August. The entire experience was incredible. The staff were wonderful and very professional showing that they are experts in crafting the perfect wedding experience. Always smiling and asking if everything was ok, anything we needed they would get for us or help with. The management were especially accomadating and we couldn't have asked for more. The venue itself is very clean and the rooms are in excellent condition all around. This sounds like it should be a given but we didn't see one bit of mess or anything that looked like it hadn't been touched all weekend. They kept in touch right from the first booking and our wedding coordinator was also superb, eveything ran to schedule. Can't thank the staff enough and we already are planning a short stay there next year for our anniversary! Stuart G.
"Fabulous wedding weekend!"
We stayed for the weekend as part of a wedding group for my son's wedding. We couldn't fault the attentiveness of the staff here! Everyone, from the manager to the waiting staff, were polite and friendly, and couldn't do enough for us. I highly recommend The Webbington as a wedding venue! The rooms we had were clean and comfortable. All of our party enjoyed the tasty, plentiful breakfast. After a lovely meal on the first evening we chose to eat here again on the Sunday and were not disappointed. My son and wife are already planning to celebrate their first anniversary weekend here next year, as they have so many happy memories of their wedding day. Note - the website does say - but there are a lot of steps in this traditional old buliding and no lifts, if you are in a wheelchair or find steps difficult. Thank you Webbington for a memorable wedding and stay. Your staff are a credit to you!
"Two night wedding stay and wedding."
Lovely two night stay for my sons wedding at the hotel. Rooms a little dated but perfectly clean, tidy and well equipped. Lovely location and views. All staff were extremely helpful and friendly but a special mention must go to Ethan and Victoria who went above and beyond. Ethan is a lovely friendly and engaging young man and a real pleasure to speak to, nothing was too much trouble for him. A real credit to the hotel. The full English breakfast was lovely and there was plenty of choice to f you didn't want a cooked breakfast also. We also ate from the restaurant in the evening and that food was also really nice. Not a criticism and my only suggestion would be to have some activities for children when spending time here for a wedding eg a few puzzles, books and games. We would definitely recommend and stay again.
"poor drink and food hotel looking tired"
Staff friendly but non existent at bar. Two lagers on draught Carling tasted tangy with a dreadful bitter after taste and an unpleasent aroma. Madri was nice but they ran out ! You are in the middle of knowhere at this hotel but is convenient for my work. It has so much potential but I heard people complaining about the food as well. These are the basics that should always be maintained, well fed and relaxed customers will forgive the tired fixtures and fittings but they stand out when you can't have a few beers and a decent meal.
Good morning Dean, We are sorry to hear that you had a poor experience at the Webbington. We do always take note of guests comments and we will of course in this case. For information, our duty managers are always on hand to respond to any complaints during any guest's stay and could have been summoned by reception staff if you had wished. Your room record does not show if (or not) you tried to speak to us at the time. With best regards,
"Perfect R&R weekend"
We stayed for 2 nights in room 10 at the front of the hotel and had a wonderful weekend. The room was beautifully clean , spacious and well equipped. Every member of staff we encountered was polite, helpful and professional. The Spa and gym facilities were immaculately clean . Breakfast was delicious, there was a wide variety to choose from and as a vegetarian I appreciate the option for porridge, omelette or smoked haddock. Only downside was the evening meals served in the hotel restaurant, it's billed as Ala carte but the only thing Ala carte is the price , the food is mediocre at best . We will definitely stay again but we'll eat out for our evening meal
"Expensive night in a tired hotel"
The positives, the breakfast was nice the staff friendly and the reception area gave a good impression. Sadly these were the only good things I can say about our stay. Our room was extremely disappointing , we booked for the view and all we could see was a flat roof. The room was small, bathroom dated ( although the shower was good ) and beds not overly comfortable as it was 2 singles pushed together. We were not keen to spend time in our room as it was not inviting We would have liked to have eaten in the restaurant that night but having booked a table, once we saw the menu we cancelled as it was so limited and seemed mainly to catered for vegetarians with the main meal The bar was poorly stocked with little choice There was a wedding at the hotel which seemed to take priority over all other guests. The bar area and balcony was dedicated to wedding guests and we were told we could only have breakfast at 8.30 or 8.45 as the wedding guests would be eating after that. This was earlier than we would have liked so we had to rush to get up in the morning. As it was the breakfast room was hardly full. Our room was situated directly over the wedding evening reception so we had to listen to the music until mid night. A little more thought about where they place guests in rooms should have been taken if they know there will be noise from a wedding All in all £165 for one night in a rather tired , sad looking hotel , was a lot of money for what we got
Good morning Jenny, We always read reviews and take guest comments seriously. As per our email to you directly yesterday, weddings do form a major part of our business and they are managed. Also, as per our email yesterday you have been offered an incentive for a repeat stayover. You would be made very welcome. Best Regards,
"Poor experience"
Don't cater for disabled guests only two disabled rooms No raised toilet seat. Have to bring your own No rubber mat in bath. No seat to sit on - could not provide one. On some stairs there is no handrail - legal requirement
Good morning, We appreciate that you seem to have had a poor experience at the hotel. The Webbington is not advertised as being particularly access friendly - it being a period building - although we do have two rooms on flat access as you have noted. The two rooms are set up for easy access with flat showering and so on. Your review does not indicate whether you complained to a duty manager during the time of the stay. If this was the case, please write to us directly so that we can possibly consider some amends.
"Average massage"
The spa ‘treatment' was average at best. I didn't get what I paid for ‘ a deep tissue massage' the masage took place right next to the gym and the room didn't have a pillow or anything for under my legs and under my head. I'm left more angry and frustrated than when I went in.
Good morning Olivia, Your comments do not indicate whether or not you complained at the time. Our team at the Webbington work hard to provide a good service in each department. It is a shame now, however we could have offered some kind of interaction by email or verbally to make some amends. There are incredibly few complaints about the massage & therapy sessions and we will report this directly to the team today.
"The hote is more tired than parents of newborn twins"
Firstly this hotel isn't a bit remote, its very remote. We are talking miles from a main road let alone a bar and shop. Secondly it is very tried and actually scruffy. Rooms have thin walls, old curtains and dated bathrooms. I was in a room in the annex that was stiflingly hot and staff did put a fan in, but it was a grim few nights. The gym is quite large and reasonably equipped, but there is no air conditioning and some machines have seen better days. It also opens fairly late at 7 am for a hotel gym, particularly if you have to get to work. In terms of food, breakfast is fine, nothing special but pleasant enough, but bar food is poor. I had a chicken pie which wasnt cheap but it was genuinely dreadful. I must say the staff are very friendly and accommodating but the hotel is in desperate need of refurbishment and is just grotty.
Good evening, We take reviews of the hotel seriously and appreciate that guests have differing opinions of course. We have many returning guests who enjoy the country location & period building. Your review does not indicate if you complained during the stay and we do not know if you have tried to contact us since your stay. Our team will always try to help with any reasonable complaints at the time. With best regards,
"Swimming pool was unavailable for use."
I booked this for my son as a treat, as he had just finished his GCSEs. He loves swimming, so I picked this hotel because of it's pool. When checking in, I was informed that the swimming pool was closed for maintenance until 3pm the following day. Had I been informed in advance, I would have booked elsewhere. Also, I am a Best Western Elite member, and there was no acknowledgement of this whatsoever.
Good afternoon, we are sorry that you were unable to use our popular Leisure Club Pool, as was explained to you on check-in, the Pool was closed for a 24-hour period for the safety of our guests and Leisure Club Members, due to an incident which occurred at 14.30 on your day of arrival. As was explained, the incident was completely out of our control and our staff acted decisively in the interests of the safety of the public, you are well aware there was nothing more we could have done, shame of you for posting this review.
"Wedding day"
Can't fault the organisation, venu or the staff who provided phenominal customer service with a "Yes of couse" and a BIG smile. The organisation extended to all areas of the days activities and all the staff knew their roles and what was required seamlessly. happened on time.
"Lovely views, nice building."
When I arrived I was offered an upgrade which was great, my room was large and nicely appointed. Lovely view. The pool area was nice, I used it twice, once booked in advance and once took a chance. Breakfast was ok, usual choice of cooked and cereals, some pastries and yoghurts. I didn't eat evening meals, so cannot comment on those. The staff were friendly, the hotel is nice, everything appeared to be clean and well kept. I would stay again. Although I imagine if it was very busy they may not cope so well. But overall a positive stay.
"Poor value for money and terrible customer service"
We were very disappointed with our stay here. The room had loads of flies, we were overcharged for our room, we waited for the manager to arrive to work after reception staff couldn't help with refunding the difference, the manager never turned up to their shift so there was nobody in charge and our AirPods got stolen from our room. On the case it says ‘DBR'
"A wonderful experience"
The night porter who checked us in last minute and late was extremely helpful, welcoming and friendly. His name is Marek, myself and my partner crossed paths with him on several occasions during our stay during which he was always happy to help greeting us with a warm and friendly smile constantly on the move, busy and multi tasking but happy to go above and beyond for everyone there he really made our stay the best experience with his excellent customer service, dedication to the role, politeness and kind demeanour. Staff like Marek are what make a stay an experience you remember for a lifetime plus his amazing sense of humour. Our stay was wonderful, comfortable with everything we needed and vould have wanted available in a heartbeat. A stunning hotel oozing with romantic, relaxing, sophisticated luxury set in the most stunningly beautiful landscape what more could we ask for. MASSIVE Thank you Marek we hope to meet you again one day.
"Viewtiful location!"
The location and views are awesome. The hotel requires a little design change for the pool and spa facilities however overall a good place to stay. I would ask for a mattress review also. Otherwise a great place to stay, local Weston-super-Mare and cheddar gorge and caves! Awesome Somerset!!
"Mid week spa break"
We had a lovely stay at this hotel. We were maybe lucky that it was so quiet. All the staff are friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend a massage with Justine, it rates amongst the best I've ever enjoyed We ate breakfast lunch and dinner and all were very enjoyable. We will definitely return for a relaxing spa break, especially as it was good value.
"Lovely stay!"
We stayed with friends at The Webbington for my birthday. The staff were very tentative, especially Dominca and Rachel. The room was clean, the food (dinner and breakfast) were delicious. The swimming pool and changing room was very clean.
"Two night stay with friends"
We stayed two nights with friends to celebrate a Birthday. Check in was friendly and efficient, we were asked if we needed help with our luggage which some guests may need if they are on top floor. We spent time in the bar which we found comfortable and ate in the restaurant, (we chose from the bar menu as it suited us more than the restaurant choice). We were well looked after by the friendly staff who went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Some of the decor in our room was a little dated but we felt it was acceptable for a three star hotel. We had a very minor issue with the room that we reported on check out, it did not spoil our stay. All in all, we were very satisfied with our stay and would happily return.
"Beautiful Location and nice building"
This is a lovely hotel to stay in in a lovely country location. You will need a car though. The staff are lovely, friendly and attentive. Our room (3) was a bit small and you might like to book an executive suite, but adequate and good value for money. Lovely for a short relaxing break.
"Disappointing"
The room we were put in was one of the courtyard rooms, which is not part of the main hotel. It was freezing cold and very dated. It was not what we were expecting as the photos on booking do not match the rooms allocated to you. We tried to upgrade to the main house rooms which are the executive rooms but they had none available which was a real shame. We are in the restaurant on Saturday night which was very poor. The menu was very small and no specials. For Starters we had the pate, which looked like dog food, very dry and crumbly and the smoked salmon was on a bed of old lettuce. We both had the steak medium rare which one of was inedible as was so tough and when we complained only 50% was taken off one steak and we were made to feel like it was a rare occurrence, which was laughed at by a fellow diner, who had said other food has been sent back three times by other customers that evening alone! Not to mention it was incredibly overpriced for what it was.
Good evening, we are sorry that you found disappointment at the Webbington. We are often thanked for great food and service, but respect that some people may have not found that so. We will ask the kitchen team to be aware of food quality, however the description as "dog food" is not representative in terms of overall feedback we receive. With best regards,
"Conference"
I attended a days conference here today along with over 100 other delegates. The room we were in was freezing all day. We all sat there in thick coats and scarves for the whole of the day as it was far too cold to remove them. There was the odd fan heater dotted around (wires causing trip hazard) but you only felt any heat from them if you stood directly in-front of one. There was no heating on in the corridors or toilets. Upon leaving we told the Receptionist that we'd had to wear a coat all day and she told us that the heating for the room should have been checked by the duty manager at the start of the day. Well presumably he did as there was the odd fan heater on. In the past I've often used the Webbington for meals, to book rooms and for conferences too and I haven't needed to wear a coat. I don't have a problem with turning the heating down a little to save energy costs but to turn it completely off in January when it's freezing outside and temperatures are minus degrees is not a way to look after your customers. Very disappointed. The screen for showing the presentation wasn't big enough for the venue either.
"Great hotel"
Lovely hotel, very clean and comfortable. The roads leading to the hotel are rather narrow and windy, but worth it! I didn't have time for the leisure facilities but they looked great. Will definitely use this hotel next time I'm in the area.
Thank you very much for your kind review, we are always pleased to see when our guests have enjoyed their time. We look forward to welcoming you in the future. Best regards,
"Terrible stay"
The hotel had 3 stories for steps and no assistance was provided, when we decided to leave no full refund was provided. This hotel advertises itself as only having a few steps but this is a complete lie.
Dear Michael, Thank you for your review, however you were provided the following information before booking your room and twice before arrival: "Due to the original architecture of the Edwardian period property all floors have varying levels and do require some access via steps. The Hotel does not have a lift and a limited number of ground-floor rooms are available. Assistance is always readily available. Should you have any concerns please contact the hotel for further information." As you did not contact us at any point to inform us of your partner's limited mobility, prior to your arrival at the Hotel at 19.00. As such we had no way of knowing you required a room on the Ground Floor. Given your late arrival time, we had a short window to resell the room, therefore you were not provided a refund for the first night of your stay, with the second and third nights being refunded in full. It is a shame you felt the need to leave a review purely for vindictive purposes, at no point did we mention there were only a "few stairs" and our staff did offer assistance with porterage upon your arrival at the Hotel. Regards Guest Relations
"A warm relaxed and happy place to be .."
We got a lovely warm welcome by the reception staff.The room was amaulate condition with grew view of the country side .The facilities were excellent and in clean condition. We had an evening meal and that was also excellent. We were served by a lovely Slovenia lad who was fast and efficient with great working attitude. All in all highly recommend this place ....
Good afternoon, Thankyou so much for taking the trouble to provide a great review. We will of course share the review with our staff who work very hard to keep standards high at the Webbington. With best regards,
"Stayed here for one night as a journey break"
Have been driving past this place on the way to relatives for approx 30 years. Decided to use it as a journey break this Xmas. Firstly trying to find it in the dark is challenging. Once in, the public areas are very spacious however the bedrooms we had are not sized to spend more than one night in. The mattresses were lumpy and tired. However the thing that makes this place is the staff. Working between Xmas and New Year in hospitality is never good but they really were making an effort. Also everywhere, including the rooms, was spotless. We paid extra for breakfast and that was good. Once again the staff in the dining room were working hard. Checkout was easy. We would use this place again, but only for one night. We did not have any parties to deal with and I agree with the sound proofing. Every time the person upstairs moved you could hear it. But I am sure if you're staying over for a party/wedding etc you'll find it comfortable.
Good afternoon Samantha, We fully appreciate your comments here and are very pleased to see the feedback about the staff with whom we will share your comments. We look forward to welcoming you again, Thank you.
"Amazing staff"
Great location. Rooms are ok. Vegetarian food was great and over 4 nights no goats cheese which is always a bonus. Vegetarian starters weren't always soup as in most hotels so well done chef. The best thing about this hotel is the staff. From check in to bar to restaurant every one of them was absolutely amazing. Friendly, professional, smartly dressed and nothing was too much trouble. Well done to all...hope the people who own this hotel know how good you all are.
"Another lovely stay"
As always another great weekend , party night was fab very slick service . Staff as always helpful and they all work so hard to ensure everyone is catered for they are a credit to you Will be back in the summer . Always made to feel very welcome
"Don't bother"
I telephoned ahead of a planned visit to see if the venue was 100% disable friendly as was assured that there was disabled parking at the back of the property and that there was only one small step to navigate before getting to the bar/restaurant. I asked if I needed to book for lunch for the day I planned to visit and was told there was no need. When we arrived there was not a single car in the car park. I followed signs for disabled parking down a very bumpy track and found myself amongst all the waste bins and laundry bins. The door to access the building was approx 100 yards from the nearest disabled parking and way too far for my friend to walk. I entered and encountered several steps here, there and everywhere. One person was sitting in the bar and all other tables were empty. I asked a member of staff who just happened to walk by if this was where we could eat and the woman pointed to a large room full off empty table. There was a flight of stairs to descend in to the restaurant. needless to say we declined to eat here and left.
Good afternoon, We will of course look further into your visit to the hotel and respect that you had a poor experience. This is unfortunate and we offer our apologies. However we would like to point out some relevant feedback; The Webbington is an Edwardian country house not originally designed with any specific leaning towards accessibility. We have made sure that specific rooms have flat access and also that some of the eating areas are, indeed accessible on the flat (via a rear entrance to the hotel). The car park area is close to the back of the hotel with approximately 30 yards of access from the nearest car parking/drop off point. In terms of demand for restaurant/bar food, we would always suggest a booking so that we can assure availability, evenings and weekends are always more in demand. Daytimes far less so. In terms of help, our staff will always try to help with any query, either about food or access. With best regards,
"Fantastic stay"
Stayed here with my mum & 4 siblings for a relaxing get together, we all had a spa treatment & used the pool then chilled out at the bar. Nice rooms, lovely breakfast and very friendly staff. This is our 2nd time staying here & will definitely be back again.
"Affordable ‘cosy' retreat"
An affordable weekend retreat, with spa facilities including a spa treatment, and an outdoor tennis court for a morning workout Located in between Cheddar gorge & western-super-mare I would recommend staying here. Bar staff were super friendly. ‘Cosy double' room was a little old let's say but did the trick for the price paid. Would stay again!
Good afternoon, We are very grateful for your kind words. Our staff make the hotel & spa what it is and we always share our feedback with them. Thankyou again.
"Short Spa Stay"
Very pleasant stay! Beautiful building, extremely friendly/welcoming/helpful staff. Lovely, relaxing place to spend a couple of peaceful days - just what I needed! Will definitely be back! Swimming pool was lovely too, and the massage was perfect. Food was delicious - service quick. I did find the room rather chilly, but went to reception and a heater was brought over within 10 mins. Only downside was the sauna and steam room not being next to the pool.
"Horrendous stay . Stupidly loud noise"
No sleep due to a function, where we could hear word for word the songs the dj and people going outside for a smoke . Plus the noise from room above . Absolute joke of a stay as a family. No family room should be above a function room
"Christmas party and stay over"
Works Xmas party where's Wally theme night. Great fun evening loved the running about finding Wally. Disco and Photo Booth also great fun. Food variable, starter and dessert fine, main was disappointing. Also couldn't see what you are eating as lighting too low a bit more light would be good during the meal. Stayed over in a court yard room, basic twin room fine for what we needed. Was quite chilly when we got back after the party. Bed also needs replacing as mattered very uncomfortable. However clean room to crash in after the party. Breakfast was as expected for Buffett breakfast standard hotel breakfast. Pool we used the pool before the party nice and warm lovely pool. Just a shame you have to walk through the spa reception to get there. Also sauna/steam room in gym not next to pool so we didn't use. Staff were all friendly and fun couldn't fault any of them. Man on reception was exceptionally kind and helpful.
"Christmas Party"
Held our first companies Christmas Party using this venue for the first time & couldn't fault them. Venue was good. Christmas entertainment was fantastic. Food was great standard & all the staff couldn't have been better. Thanks to Georgia & all her crew. Sarah D
"Wasp gate never again"
Me and my wife stayed here on the way to Cornwall to celebrate my wife's birthday. We'd stayed here the year before and it was fine with nice staff and a great room. This time however it was a lot different. When we entered our room (16) we noticed what looked like a hummingbird was flying about. It turned out to be a very grumpy wasp the size of a child's fist. I'm a gentle man but this thing was up for a fight and unfortunately for it it died on the battlefield. We thought no more of it and eventually we went down to the restaurant for dinner. The waitress was the same one as last time and she was very attentive and nice although the place was freezing cold and there was two elderly people opposite us eating with their coats on. Times are hard and it's a big place I guess. Anyway we ate and went back to our room. During the night I felt something crawling around my face and nestling itself into my eye socket. I thought it was a moth but when I batted it away and turned on the light to my delight I found that it was another wasp. This one had prison tattoos and a flick knife. Fortunately I'd already become accustomed to the way of the wasp and managed to wrestle it to the ground before decapitating it with the edge of my phone. I was on guard the rest of the night with the sheet pulled up over my head like an old school damsel in destress. I made it through the rest of the night unscathed and with relief made it over to the bathroom without further attacks. By now I do t think anyone will be surprised to know that during my shower out came another one. This one was wearing a patch over one eye and had a wooden leg. Luckily I grabbed my towel and was eventually able to swot the bugger. Wasps 0 me 3. We thought it advisable to tell reception so that they could make sure nobody else would have to suffer such a disconcerting experience. The receptionist was less than apologetic and was verging on apathetic. ‘I will tell house keeping' was the only response. No offer of even a free breakfast let alone twenty percent off the bill. Awful front of house needless to say we wi t be back.
This is a general communication from the Webbington to any reader. To answer the issue about the wasps. The Webbington is situated in a countryside location and from time to time inevitably, some experiences of wasps and the like can take place. Despite the implication written in this review, the hotel does take the matter of pest control very seriously and alongside regular visits, we have since called out pest control to ensure that where possible, any nesting is controlled.
"136 years of life experince."
Because my wife and I are of a "certain age" when we went to our allocated room we were uncomfortable with all the steps on the way.However, when I approached reception they could not have been more understanding and helpful in resolving our issue by giving us a more convenient and larger room. The room itself was clean, warm and spacious and the bathroom was spotless. We availed ourselves of the swimming pool, a bit on the cool side, but hotter than the sea. Breakfast was buffet style, so no waste, and there was plenty of choice.Delicious. All in all a relaxing, enjoyable stay.Thank-you.
"Fantastic weekend spa break!"
I visited with my mother for a mother daughter spa weekend. The room we had was beautiful and very clean, the duvet was so warm we both slept well on both nights. The view from the room is fantastic. All of the staff were friendly and very attentive. The breakfast was good and there was always a good variety of food available, dining room staff were very helpful constantly clearing plates and topping up food. The spa and leisure facilities were lovely, the view from the pool in the morning is amazing. I would definitely stay here again, we're hoping to make this a yearly visit.
"OK - but let down in some areas"
Reception and staff good and tried to resolve issues. Room OK but poor bed and poor sound insulation. Worst bit, as others have said, was the dinner - bad meals badly cooked. Location is good with good car parking and easy access up to the Mendips.
Good evening Adrian, Thankyou for taking the trouble to review and we appreciate the positive points made. We will of course ask the kitchen team to be aware of the issue. Please do email into the hotel letting us know which meals you had so that we can identify the actions required. Best Regards,
"Relaxing return visit... we'll be back again soon."
Superb atmosphere, relaxing environment. We return often to have treatments in the Wellbeing area. The treatments greatly benefit my husband following his hip replacement. We cannot thank the staff enough for their professionalism and positive, caring treatment. We had a superb executive double with wonderful views of the countryside. Breakfast was delicious and the hotel staff are so attentive and helpful. Thank you to all. See you in January.
Good afternoon, Thankyou for the kind words about your stay. We always share the feedback with our staff who we treasure & who are the heart of the business. With warm regards,
"Weekend visit for wedding"
Our adult family stayed here for a family wedding at the weekend. On arrival we were able to book dinner for that night and breakfast for the next two mornings. Our rooms were clean, comfortable and adequately equipped. Dinner that evening had a good menu choice and the food was delicious. Breakfast was an extensive buffet selection. All the staff were so friendly, polite and helpful, even though they seemed to work long hours. Views from the hotel were stunning.
"Worst hotel stay of my life"
TV did not work reported the problem four times then the manager told me to try and fix it myself the room underneath was making noise all night did not have a good night sleep at all would never recommend anyone staying there
Dear Mr Rowland, Thank you for your review. As per our private communication with yourself, we apologise that you felt your evening was disrupted by the rooms below. We were not made aware of any noise being generated from the rooms below during your stay. Similarly to other nights, the Manager on Duty did regular checks throughout the night and found there was no noise, furthermore, no function was taking place at the Hotel and no other rooms reported any disturbance. I apologise for the issue with the TV, unfortunately we were unable to resolve this during your stay, thus our offer of a partial refund, which you rejected. We adamantly deny that that Manager on Duty told you to "sort it out yourself," our staff do not and would not speak to any guest in this manner. Finally, I am surprised to see your low score for room cleanliness, considering the dreadful state you left the Hotel room in.
"LOVELY LOCATION- POOR FOOD"
On arrival had to ask for another room as the one we had was unclean. Menu choices were woefully inadequate . Food served was of very poor quality, Had to send several items back. Was seriously tempted to bring a Pizza back for the second evening but as we had already paid for DBB we suffered another shocking dinner
"Delightful"
Had a lovely stay, staff friendly and helpful breakfast and the meal we had was lovely. They are running a limited nenu due to time of year. Next time we are hoping to use the facilities and stay longer.
"Fantastic. "
This is the most fantastic experience. The pool and saunas are what you need after a long and hard day. The restaurant has a very tasty dinner (we ordered steaks) and breakfast. The staff is very polite, explains everything, just class. I highly recommend this place for a couple. Because the bed was just fantastic!
Good morning, we are very pleased to see your kind review and especially the comments about our staff who are the heart of the hotel & whom we treasure. Thankyou again.
"Wedding"
My daughters wedding....hotel rooms where clean tidy.... Our wedding day cupcakes..which where delivered early morn...had disappeared by the time the wedding reception came around...nobody went to check and hotel denying they'd been delivered....members of staff where quite curt....we where herded around various rooms..whilst others where got ready..nobody seemed to know what they where doing...I could go on...it was a disappointing day...one we won't get back.....would I recommend this venue...honestly ...I don't think I would.
Good morning, With respect, as discussed in our email directly to you on 14th September, there is definitely a discrepancy of opinion regarding the cakes mentioned, these were definitely NOT found in the hotel despite thorough searches. The other parts of the day were worked through as planned and despite challenges around a roof leaking following torrential rain (managed real time by staff). We have many brides & grooms who have had (and continue to have) very positive experiences at the Webbington hotel. With best regards.
"Magnificent Hotel"
We have always noticed this majestic hotel when travelling along the M5 to and from holidays. It was a real treat to actually stop here and look out at the motorway. The hotel is magnificent, it has kept so much of its character and charm. Can't wait to stop again, which we definitely will do.
Good afternoon Helen, Thankyou so much for taking the time and trouble to review our hotel. Yes, guests have often said they had seen the hotel from the M5 and said that they enjoyed the stay once they had the opportunity. Our staff always try to make guests welcome, and we hope to see you again in the near future, With best regards,
"Perfect"
What a perfect countryside hotel! Stayed for 2 nights and no complaints! The hotel decor is dated but considering the age of the hotel and where it is for me it was perfect and didn't bother me.. the food we was a little worried about after reading the other reviews but for us it was perfect! Was just like having home cooked food staff was very helpful and was more then happy to help you! Will definitely be back!
Good morning Rosina, Thankyou so much for the great comments here. We always appreciate it when customers comment positively, especially about the staff who work very hard to make our guests welcome. We will definitely share your comments with them. We hope to see you again in the near future, Best regards,
"Great Hotel for a Wedding Stay"
We stayed at this hotel for two nights as part of wedding package and booked a suite in the main building. The room itself was spacious and clean. Staff were very helpful for various requests. Breakfast was a buffet style with a good selection of full English and cereals and fruit. The pool was heated and good though you have to book due to restrictions on the amount of people permitted in at any one time which was a hassle but the staff tried their best to accommodate. The front terrace (which is above the indoor pool) has great views with plenty of seating.
Thankyou so much for your great review, we are very pleased that you enjoyed the Webbington and all it has to offer. With our best wishes,
"Good value, but basic and functional and perhaps requiring more character/charm for romantic weekends, friendly staff"
We stayed here as part of a wedding package for which we were offered an excellent deal. It is not clear though whether this was the intended market but, if it was, then it was good value for the money we paid and, although we didn't try out the spa, in this respect the facilities were basic and functional. The staff were, for the most part, friendly and welcoming. The hotel is undoubtedly set up for wedding parties and may also suit casual overnight guests. We agree with criticism that the hotel is a little dated but also felt that it lacked the character or charm that some couples looking for a romantic spa weekend might require. For this, it is felt that it would require a design makeover. Overall, we were satisfied with our experience.
"Family swim at pool"
We wanted to find a pool for a family swim during a stay in the local area and this hotel offers this as a ‘walk in' facility within their leisure complex. We emailed to check how it worked and they responded very quickly with the times and costs. When we arrived staff were welcoming and helpful. Pool was great, clean and warm. We had an enjoyable swim and would recommend it. We'll definitely go again when we are staying in the area. Thanks.
Fantastic to hear that you enjoyed the hotel & pool facilities, thankyou for taking the time to write, it is always appreciated. With best regards,
"Great Hotel! Brilliant staff!"
A very comfortable typical Best Western hotel.Excellent amenities, car parking, leisure centre.The rooms were very clean comfortable and well equipped.The restaurant was excellent good quality food both the evening and at breakfast time.The real strength of the hotel is the quality of the staff ! They were EXCELLENT! Supportive, attentive, friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them!! Could not speak too highly of them
Thankyou very much for the great positive review here, we always share comments with the staff, without whom we could not provide the great service you have commented on. Your time to review is greatly appreciated. With best regards,
"Wedding guests"
Lots to note , poor access for disabled people to reception, lack of staff, bedroom very small , shower not working properly, so overpriced for what could be a 5 star hotel . Breakfast poor , lovely location
Good afternoon, We are sorry to read that you have a poor opinion of the Webbington Hotel. Whilst we appreciate that access can be an issue, we must stress that in fact we do not advertise the hotel to be access friendly. As a period country house, the building does not lend itself well to those with mobility issues. That said, we have two specific rooms with flat access and flat access to the public areas. It is unusual to have negative comments about our breakfasts, however, we respect that each person's view is different. Our duty managers will always try to make a guest's stay better where they are informed of any issues during the stay. You are very welcome to email us at [email protected] if you wish to discuss further. Best regards,
"Wedding Reception Stay"
Very disappointed great expectations, poor results, lacking staff, dated facilities, not welcoming, overall poor example of hospitality. Needs updating, excellant car ark and location. Over priced hotel
Good afternoon, Please accept our apologies that your time at the Webbington was disappointing for you, our staff work very hard to ensure that guests have a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Our team will always listen to any complaints from guests if they are unhappy with service or facilities during the stay, however we cannot make amends if we are not informed at the time. You are welcome to contact us directly if you feel this is appropriate. Best regards, [email protected].
"Our wedding"
We held our wedding in May 2022. I arrived the day before and my daughter and I visited the pool, amazing and quiet, only downside was having to walk through the gym to get the sauna. That evening we had dinner in the restaurant with parents and family staying at the hotel, amazing food and fantastic service. My daughter and I were told we could order breakfast to the bridal suite and could order what we liked and so the next morning we ordered two breakfasts and they were delivered and were gorgeous, the poached egg was spectacular. We had Prosecco delivered to our room around 10am by our wedding coordinator Georgina, who had been friendly and wonderful throughout the whole 18 month planning. We got married in the gazebo outside with the beautiful sunshine on our side, the photos were amazing. The only suggestion I have is possibly a microphone for readings as my family and guests said they could not hear some of our vows and my reading of a poem. The wedding breakfast was wonderful and the staff could not accommodate us more. The manager was superb and we cannot thank him enough. Georgina made our day and again we cannot thank her enough either. Moving into the evening we hired the function room and the buffet and bar were as expected if not more. The bridal suite is a superb room, again the only suggestion would be an additional mirror, had to fight my daughter for it on the day! The Webbington Hotel is a traditional, friendly, welcoming hotel and we are so happy we shared our special day there, thank you from Dawn and Chris.
Good afternoon Dawn, We are so pleased that your wedding day was a great success, seeing such comments makes us realise the work that our great staff do to make the experience so worthwhile. Your kind words will be shared with all concerned, especially Georgie! With all the very best for your future together,
"Overnight stay"
Lovely room with a great outlook. Easy to check in, stay very helpfil and friendly. Told us all the local pubs and places of interest. Bar staff a litle on the slow side. Buffet breakfast not a great choice, but tasty all the same
Thankyou so much for the review, we are always pleased to see that our staff have made guests welcome, they are the heart of the hotel. We do hope we will have the chance to welcome you in the future. With best regards,
"Lovely views and scenery"
Hotel is set in an idealist location surrounded by beautiful scenery, wildlife and views. Great for walks and exploring. Down side is you will need a vehicle to travel to any near by shops , pubs etc. Hotel is clean and tidy although a tad dated in areas. Staff are all welcoming and friendly
"Family Wedding"
A good location for a very special day. The staff and service were excellent. The standard of the food was good both at breakfast and for the Wedding. Lower rooms do not benefit from the view over the valley, would recommend upgrading or asking for Second floor.
Fabulous to see that your experience at the Webbington was so enjoyable, the location is great for weddings as you have said in your review. We are very pleased about your comments about our staff, thankyou, we will be sharing. With our best wishes,
"Excellent group booking"
I organised a Harley Davidson group event originally for May 2020, having agreed a group rate in late 2019. For obvious reasons the event couldn't go ahead and had to be postponed twice, eventually actually happening in May 2022. The management of the hotel could not have been more helpful and understanding, and even though the event took place two years later, they honoured the agreed group rate from the original booking. The event went ahead and without any problems that I am aware of, with about 25 of us having a fantastic weekend. The food was excellent and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and couldn't be faulted in any way. My only criticisms would be that the drinks were rather expensive and my bed was very firm and not particularly comfortable. I know some people prefer that though. So overall I am happy to thoroughly recommend The Webbington, particularly if you are looking to organise a group event in the area.
Good afternoon Colin, We are so pleased that the event was able to go ahead and also that your group enjoyed their time here at the Webbington. We specialise in events like the one you hold and always welcome such enquiries. We wish you and your group safe motorcycling and we hope we can welcome you all on a future occasion. With best regards,
"My Daughters Wedding"
My daughter and her fiance celebrated their marriage at The Webbington. The hotel staff, especially the wedding planner, were brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble, and the service was exceptional. The accommodation for the guests was good, and the food -breakfast, dinner on the evening before, the reception and evening buffet - was great. As for the setting for the ceremony itself in a dedicated outdoor space. Amazing! The whole event went without a hitch thanks to the staff's attention to detail.
"Worst Hotel Ever"
Awful food, I am not fussy - but I am not sure how you can get even a burger wrong. The walls are paper thin so really hard to sleep. Management are so rude and unhelpful. I feel sorry for the people who are customer facing as they are working so hard. Poor facilities. So out dated Please don't have your wedding here! They will ruin your day!
"Good value good service and pleasant staff"
Our stay at the Webbington was again a great experience, the staff were all welcoming friending and happy to help. The room was bright clean and well maintained. The food in the restaurant was of a high quality and the staff where welcoming and helpful throughout.
"Adequate but not worth the money"
We stayed here in April for a friends wedding. The grounds were nice and the venue was fit for purpose. However the bride was left quite upset when the venue provided broken tables and were not very supportive as a whole. For the price I paid for this hotel which included discount as a wedding guest the rooms were tiny! Not enough space for two adults and the beds were not comfortable. We were greeted by a massive spider in our room, as well as mosquitos the following night, despite the windows not being open. Positives - the breakfast was nice, and staff were friendly. The gym facilities and pool were also nice. Overall the venue is in need of modernisation.
"Lovely venue shame about the management"
We went to a wedding at this hotel. Some of the staff were very friendly but the management reminded me of something out of faulty towers.. He was a miserable looking man who did not engage with his guests. The woman wearing a black suit, blond hair and glasses strutted around giving no one eye contact and you felt like she was the strict headmistress. We were a large wedding party giving this hotel a lot of money, . On the second day, none of our rooms were cleaned, no clean towels, no milk or tea, and no prior explanation! When I questioned it, I was told that they were short staffed. By that they meant no cleaning staff. If the managers treat their staff like they treat their guests, I'm not surprised they are short of staff because no one would want to work there. Don't bother doing anything that they class as a violation, because they strut out mob handed to give you a dressing down! They must have cameras strategically placed so they can keep a check on the poor paying customer. Drinks are overpriced, cooked breakfast is lukewarm, though there is lots of lukewarm food, you do not go hungry. Our room was adequate, though bland. This is not a hotel that I would recommend especially if it is the venue for one of the best days of your life.
"Two night break"
Booked two night break and chose this hotel totally by chance. Can't fault our stay, staff were friendly and our room was spotless and so quiet. We had a massive bed which was so comfortable we both had a lovely restful sleep. Beautiful views from the window across the countryside. Lovely location for a hotel, away from noise and traffic. We didn't use the spa facilities nor did we have breakfast but we did have drinks in the bar area and food which was delicious. Hotel is in an ideal location to visit Weston Super Mare, Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole and surrounding areas. We would definitely recommend staying here and will be booking again at some point in the future. This is a hotel with character so it may look dated in some areas but if it's comfort you want, then you won't be disappointed. We certainly weren't. Thank you for a lovely two night stay !! See you again sometime :)
Dear Julia, Please accept our thanks for providing such a rewarding review. Our staff work hard to provide a relaxing atmosphere, and it's great to see you enjoyed the chard of the venue. Thankyou again, we hope to welcome you again. With best regards,
"Better elsewhere. Not worth the money"
We booked 2 rooms as we are a family of 4)(2 adults and 2 children). The hotel is faded and majority of areas need attention. The Hotel Inspector would have a field day here, as all areas feel neglected. At no time did they tell us there would be a wedding party and the party hall is just below the bedrooms and it would be so loud you can't open the windows. The hotel made no allowance to stop guests coming outside from the party making noise. The pool was clean but it was a walk from the changing room to the pool and I certainly wouldn't describe any part of this hotel and its a facilities as a "spa"
"Completely inaccessible"
Limited disabled access, followed the signs to disabled parking and eventually ended up in a tight space behind a courtyard. My daughter is currently using a wheelchair so we followed the disabled access signs to reception, however we were eventually met by a large staircase which meant we couldn't get anywhere near the desk so we were stuck in the bar area. No lift, no ramp and the signage stopped. We then tried to go onto the balcony for drinks, yet more stairs and no ramp. A wedding was taking place and guests offered to lift the wheelchair as there were no staff to be seen. When we eventually got drinks the glasses were mucky and the cola was flat. Wouldn't visit again, we were hoping to enjoy the view and nice weather but this place is an inaccessible nightmare.
Good afternoon, We do apologise that you have found some issues with the access at the Webbington. Our offering is not specifically advertised as very access friendly, although as you will now be aware we do have two rooms on the flat and made specifically for guests with mobility issues. All of the hotels in our group are country based period buildings, and the access is limited. If you do have any wish to try any of our hotels again, please do email and we will try very hard to find the best solution for you. [email protected]. With best regards,
"Family night away"
Perfect location for an overnight stay as we took our daughters to see the Sooty show in Weston-super-Mare at the Playhouse. Excellent facilities, lovely staff, good food and very reasonably priced. Our family room was a perfect size even with an extra bed added and quiet when we were going to sleep, dinner and breakfast choices were really good for all ages, staff were all really friendly and helpful and the swimming pool was wonderful.
Thankyou very much for the fabulous review Rachael, we always try to please our guests with the facilities, service and staff hospitality. It is very much appreciated when we receive great feedback. With best regards,
"Fantastic stay"
Lovely hotel in a gorgeous setting. Rooms are lovely and beds are very comfortable. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Food is fantastic for evening meal and the breakfast is lovely. Would definitely recommend and will certainly stay again.
Good afternoon, Your comments are very much appreciated and we take great pleasure in helping our guests to have a relaxing stay. We do hope you will return again in the future. With best regards,
"Just OK"
The Cosy rooms are tiny. Mixer tap showers that flood the bathroom and no room to actually be able to sit at the dressing table. Don't bother with the 'Spa' - you have to get out of the pool, dry yourself thoroughly, walk through 2 x gym rooms to get to the Steam room that is off and cold and then find the sauna which you will have to listen to the grunting in the gym whilst in. Breakfast is mediocre.
Good afternoon, We are genuinely sorry to hear that you had a poor experience at the Webbington. It is quite unusual to hear some of this feedback. In general, the feedback given whilst guests are present at the hotel is positive, though do respect any fair opinions of course. It's not certain if you had any conversations with the duty manager at the time. We will be pleased to have an email from you if that is suitable. The email address is [email protected]. With best regards,
"AVOID - Tired, dirty and poor standard of customer service - AVOID"
Stopped at hotel to look at for potential venue for family function. Staff made coffees in dirty cups, failed to recognise Duty Manager more interested in arguing then fixing Very tired property, Poor sense of arrival
Dear Neil, Thank you for your review, we do apologise for the incident whereby you were served a coffee in a dirty glass. I am however surprised to see your comment detailing the apparent 'poor standard of customer service,' as staff at the Webbington are consistently praised for providing excellent customer service. Despite the appalling way you spoke to our staff, we immediately sought to rectify the situation by quickly making you another coffee in a different glass.
"Family get together"
We were disappointed with our accomodation and the bar shut early so we were unable to socialise as long as we wanted. The food was ok but our orders were messed up but with 16 people in our group perhaps that was inevitable. The staff tried really hard.
"Brilliant hotel with fantastic staff. Amazing pool and very happy indeed"
Me and girlfriend spent a little trip there. They upgraded us to the bridal suite. If anyone get the chance go for room 4! The room was the biggest I have ever stayed in and had amazing views. We were so lucky and thankful as it was amazing. The staff throughout were happy and helpful and friendly and couldn't fault anyone. The food menu was a bit iffy for deserts however some helpful staff found us something more Chocolatey instead. The pool was amazing too it was quiet and warm and brilliant. Genuinely we had a brilliant time and was very happy. Quick hint and tip anyone booking through certain sites check out the cost to upgrade breakfast at time of booking else it's £12 each where as the difference at time of booking between breakfast and not breakfast was about £4 and the Buffett breakfast was certainly worth it. The views at the hotel were brilliant too with loads of parking. There's also a pub down the road called the New Inn and their food was exceptional so would recommend there too.
Thankyou for providing a fabulous review, we are always keen to see what our guests think of the hotel & the hospitality. We are proud of our staff and we thankyou for mentioning them specifically, this will be shared with them of course.
"Noisy"
The room and facilities we're good. We had a bad experience with a couple in the room next to us having a party until 5:30 am and the night porter didn't answer any of our calls to complain. We were very dissatisfied and it ruined our stay.
Good morning, We appreciate the situation you had endured and as mentioned in our partial refund and revisit offer letter to you, we sincerely apologise for the issue that happened. We have offered a complimentary stay in one of our 4 hotels, please see your email. We look forward to welcoming you in the future.
"Yet again a delightful visit!"
A big thank you to all whom work at the hotel! Our stay - as always - excelled our expectations in making a half-term break such a wonderful experience. Whether it be the kitchen staff, the housekeeping staff, the reception staff, the food and beverage staff, the leisure staff, you all did an outstanding job. We have been regular guests for many years now and each time you all have never failed to bring smiles and joy to our stay. The only complaint I have is that we had to go home at some point, I suppose that is beyond your means of control. The tenacity and endeavour from your staff does not go unnoticed, I salute you all for your efforts. Will we be coming back again? Certainly, we have already booked ourselves in. Well done GM for well keeping such a lovely hotel and assembling such an admirable personnel team. We look forward to seeing you all again soon!
Always a pleasure to provide the service & genuinely thankyou for mentioning our team. We look forward to seeing you soon.
"Wedding reception"
Great wedding reception venue. So we came and stayed at the hotel so we could attend a wedding reception. The hotel catered for the reception and is was a really good night. All staff extremely helpful. Some lovely countryside for bracing walks.
Thankyou so much for taking the time and trouble to review our hotel & we are pleased that you have had a great time. Thankyou again :)
"Just wow!"
We have just had our wedding at the webbington, set in a beautiful location with country views, the interior full of character it was the perfect setting. Full of excitement I decided to read the reviews in the lead up to our big day ..but the more I read the dreaded panic started to set in! So much negatively surrounding the staff or cleanliness..well here is our review and the feedback from our guests...the staff, each and everyone of them were polite, patient and went above and beyond not just for us but our guests, nothing was too much trouble, the hotel was spotless, everywhere. But the main person who truly stood out was our wedding coordinator Georgina! Wow! With out her I wouldn't have made it down the isle, truly an angel with the patience's of a saint, came to my aid when my dress broke minutes after putting it on, Georgina actually got me in the dress and did my corset when we struggled to figure it out! With out her I hate to think what would have happened! I have not one complaint.. everything was perfect, highly recommend the webbington in every aspect, and wouldn't think twice about returning. They are now a massive part of our memories we will not be forgetting in a hurry!
Good morning Clair, Congratulations of course and thankyou for the fabulous review! All of our staff take great pride in their work and it is a great pleasure to see the comments. We will ensure that all the staff (including Georgie) get to see your review. Thankyou again and please come and see us in the future. With our best wishes,
"Two night stay with friends"
Hotel nice but tierd room was nice and big we stayed in excective room. We arrived abit earlier we let them know that we're here they said they will let us no when it's ready as they had a wedding the day before so they had to clean the room, but our room had a few big spider webs and spider in batheroom and tables was dirty didn't look like it had been stayed in for a while or cleaned. Breakfast was ok and dinner but we went out for dinner the second night.
"Two night stay"
I just want to give this hotel a big warm hug and a one million pound cash injection. Value for money wise it's worth it. Our room was tired but clean. The wi-fi didn't work in our room and you can't get a signal which was disappointing. Staff were super lovely. We ate in one night and the food was excellent value for our inclusive room deal. You can tell that in its hey day it would have been really lovely. No disabled access to speak of which in this day and age is disappointing. I would however stay again as there's lots of places to visit nearby. Cheddar is quaint and I recommend visiting Wells as there's lots of shops and a market. Overall was an enjoyable stay :)
Please accept our thanks for this objective review, we always take on board balanced comments as it helps us to understand the view from great customers. Our staff are extremely valued and we appreciate your positivity about them. With regards to the hotel, all of our hotels are period properties and we attempt to keep them with some originality, your comments about cleanliness are also appreciated. We do hope to see you again in the future. With best regards,
"Very nice"
Was a very lovely stay. The staff were so friendly, made us feel very welcoming. Enjoyed the stay a lot. Wifi was good. Food was veeeerryy delicious. I brought my own pillow as I usually don't sleep well, but the sleep was good as well. Just that the room had a very funny smell when we had to enter it.
"Very disappointed"
There is a picture of the Worzells or side the hotel, think it is living in the past , the hotel is tired. The room had hair on the sink, there no non slip mats in the bath for a shower and I slipped causing injury, when went for walk the outside steps lights where not working so had to use phone light. On arrival it made it worse that the room is along way from reception then up and down only to find key did not operate, so had to go back for key re programming! Time for a full refurbishment and safety care for residents
We are very sorry to see your comments in this review, our team do take care to try and help with any issues during a stay where they are aware of any practical problems. Please do write into us specifically so that we can try to ensure that we can offer you a better stay in due course.
"Would stay again but have all meals and drinks away from the venue!!"
Room was reasonable, location was beautiful, hotel itself was cold, restaurant was very disappointing, food was good but not fantastic, menu was rather dull, dessert choice in particular was atrocious, staff were friendly, but overall the stay the food, drink choice (no cocktails) was disappointing. And the cost of drinks and food was very expensive for what they were offering.
Thankyou for taking the time to respond. We are always looking to improve the experience of our guests. We are sorry that you did not enjoy the food offering and a little surprised as this is not usual feedback which we experience, indeed many guests do thoroughly enjoy the food at the Webbington. We fully respect your opinion of course and would welcome you back in the future. With best regards,
"Fabulous customer service"
Arrived slightly early than the check in time however reception allowed me to go into my room . The views from my room was outstanding even in the winter January months . The health center was an added positive to my stay . I enjoyed a little swim in the pool before the school kids came in and dive bombed my relatively dry hair ! I was extremely comfortable in my Superior room. ( pillows wasn't to my ‘pillow taste ‘ The WiFi was quick and did its job . Gotta love Sky Plus and Netflix on your screens! The breakfast was amazingly delicious with a choice of eggs ( just ask ) The waiter at breakfast did a fabulous job on his own and was very friendly. I noticed the hotel had 3 stars ⭐️ I personally think it should be Nominated 5 stars ⭐️ purely from a Customer Service' point of view Loved every minute of my solo stay
Genuinely, thank you for the positive review here, our staff try hard to ensure guests enjoy their time. It's great to see their efforts are appreciated. With best regards,
"Support at a difficult time"
We chose this hotel for the Wake for my mother who passed away, and a post-wake family get-together. Staff were friendly and very helpful, rooms were very satisfactory and the food was good. The restaurant staff went above and beyond to look after as at both dinner and breakfast.
Thankyou so much for taking the time to review. We appreciate the feedback. Please accept our best wishes for the future.
"New Year's Eve Spectacular"
We always go to the Webbington for New Year's Eve, the team work very hard to ensure all guests have a fabulous time . All members of the team are friendly and professional- It was another successful event - Well done to all.
Thank you so much for the review. Our staff work hard to ensure these events are successful and enjoyable for all concerned. We do hope you will consider returning to us next year. With best regards,
"Great New Years Party"
Arriving at the hotel check in was easy but due to the layout of the hotel we had difficulty locating our room (Room 21). We were booked in for New Years party and from start to finish the experience was superb, the meal was served well and where required hot. The entertainment was great with the Jersey Boys performing with their normal enthusiasm. All in all a good way to see in the New Year.
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to provide a review regarding New Year's eve. We take great pleasure in seeing our guests enjoy the event. Thankyou again.
"Annual Christmas Visit"
We always have a lovely stay at The Webbington Hotel and Spa. We are travelling from Cumbria to Cornwall and found this lovely hotel several years ago. We tried it once and now we stay there three or four times a year, to break our journey. Lovely hotel, lovely food and wonderful staff..
Thankyou very much for your review, always a pleasure to welcome you. With warmest regards,
"Great facilities and helpful staff"
I only stayed one night to attend the Spa and climb the hill behind the hotel, though wish I could have stayed longer. My room was spacious, pretty and smelt lovely. I had the fried breakfast which was very tasty and I enjoyed the pool and steam room. Great sized gym but due to delays on the motorways I didn't get to use it. My massage and facial in the Spa were top notch. I have already recommended the hotel to friends and aim to return with my fella 'directly'.
Thankyou very much for the comments, we are always very pleased to welcome & serve guests at the Webbington. We hope to see you again in the future. Best Regards,
"Webbington"
Customer service was excellent. Executive room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Spa & gym area were good although would be better if you didn't have to walk through the gym to access steam room and sauna from the pool area. Dinner and breakfast in the main restaurant were excellent. Overall a very relaxing stay.
Thankyou indeed for your review, It's good to see guests enjoying their time. Very much appreciated, Thankyou.
"Unexpected stay here but good value and helpful"
Beautiful views, fitter me in for massage . I had to stay over due to family death I was a bit emotional so when booking I got dates wrong and the lady on reception sorted and made no fuss at all - I would stay again good value and great views
"Beautiful and relaxing weekend away "
Beautiful hotel and excellent value for money, staff couldn't be more helpful to make our stay enjoyable and went above and beyond, food was lovely, pool area relaxing and friendly atmosphere the entire time. Would definitely visit again
"Weekend Break with Friends"
Pleasant hotel with very friendly welcoming staff. Breakfast very good - plentiful and staff only too pleased to top up tea/coffee and pastries!! Good location to visit Weston-Super-Mere and Cheddar. Pool facilities good. Timed slots gave peace of mind - not crowded.
"Pleasant stay"
Pleasant Hotel with good staff. Breakfast very good (buffet). Knocked off excellent by serving Suffolk cider on draught instead of Somerset cider. Difficult location to get to, but otherwise I would visit again. Good value
"Business trip to Weston Super Mare"
Nice hotel. Could do with a little updating. Staff are great. Breakfast was good. I used the leisure centre and i found walking from the changing room through reception of the leisure to get to the pool a bit awkward. changing rooms should lead on to the pool. Where 2 single mattresses are used to make a super king size bed a mattress topper should be used so you don't feel the seem of where the two mattresses meet down the middle of the bed
"Awful"
We came for two nights to celebrate our wonderful friends birthday. Upon arriving all looked great as we walked into the entrance. Greet by a very friendly receptionist. When we walked the hike to our room, our stomachs started to sink. The smell in the corridors smelt of stale cigarette smoke. Paint work chipped, windows in corridor full of dirt. We then approached our room. Taking a deep breathe we opened the door. Well, it certainly didn't look like it is advertised on their website. Wall paper covered in black marks, carpet by the bed damp and smelt, curtains not fixed to pole. Bed, two singles pushed together, uncomfortable mattresses. Bathroom looked update and was ok. Kettle in room looked like it was from the 70's and the plug sockets and extension cable! Towels are provide and nice size but they are starchy and didn't smell clean (but they were). Food WOW awful absolutely awful dry, swimming in sauce dessert just as bad not the al la carte expected. Would total not recommend.
"Good experience"
Took a group of 38 walkers to the Webbington Spa in October 2021. The hotel was well staffed and we were delighted with the attention that all staff paid their guests. In addition, the staff were very accommodating, helping with individual requirements etc. The hotel was clean and food was good. We will return, if ever in the area again.
"Birthday weekend trip"
What a lovely place. This is our second visit and hopefully many more to follow. Great location, lovely buildings and grounds. Fantastic staff. Great value. Pool, restaurant and bar are well run and the whole place is beautifully clean. Looking forward to seeing you all again and thanks to Bruno and Dominica with all of their colleagues.
"We will definitely be back"
As the reviews were somewhat mixed we weren't sure what to expect. But we were very happy with our 3 night stay and will definitely return. The staff are all excellent, friendly, smart and courteous. We had a lovely room (no. 1) with lots of space and a really nice bathroom. Our only small criticism is that we would have liked a small coffee table by the chaise longue so we had somewhere to put our cups down and we couldn't see the TV from that position, (which we would find more comfortable than watching from the bed). Double glazing kept out the noise from the M5. Lovely far reaching views of countryside. Breakfast was very good but otherwise we can't comment on the food as we didn't eat in the restaurant.
"Country Music Break at Webbington"
Another wonderful break, made special by all the team at the Webbington. Everyone is friendly, professional and keen to ensure all guests have a wonderful stay. We are also looking forward to celebrating New Year's Eve. We have attended for many years and only missed last year due to the pandemic, Going on passed form, this is going to be another fabulous celebration to welcome in 2022, we can't wait. With our thanks to all the team, Cheryl and David
"Well presented with excellent service"
Staff were excellent, well presented, very helpful and friendly. Pool, sauna and steam rooms were also well presented, clean and availabily was excellent with family swimming between 4pm and 7pm and other slots available for booking. It worked really well for us and a far better system than a lot of hotels currently have in place at this time. The room was clean and nicely presented as well as having a nice sized bathroom. Room wasn't huge but the standard double has enough room for the two of us and had a nice view over the surrounding area. The building was lovely and bar and dinning services easy to book with a nice selection of meals and drinks available. Breakfast was good although quite busy so would advise booking a earlyer t rather than later spot so as not to be disappointed. Would recomend and would definatly use again.
"3 night stay"
The hotel looks very grand, both on their website and from the outside. The staff were very good and attentive, and the food in the restaurant was excellent. However, the room was at the top of an annex block. The stairwell did not look as though it had been vacuumed for ages, and the inside of the stairwell windows had not been cleaned for ages. There were many interesting spider webs all over them ! The room itself was small, and very tired. Some housekeeping items were absent, and a bedside lightshade was missing. The toilet flush button was broken, although the flush still just about worked. It was also very warm, even without the heating on, so had to keep the window open. This meant that the constant noise from the motorway was uncomfortable, and for the first two nights, it also meant that sleep was impossible until after 12 a.m., due to the noise of very loud music. So loud that the base notes made items rattle in the room ! On complaining, we were told that the hotel was full, and that a move of rooms was not possible. However, the missing housekeeping items were replaced. As it was a weekend, maintenance could not repair the damaged items. We have received an email from the hotel since returning home, and are satisfied with their response. However, a room in this state should never had been let to customers in the first place.
"60th Wedding Anniversary Meal"
We just wanted to say "thank you" for a lovely 60th anniversary meal for my parents and 7 of us on Sat 4 Sept. The staff were really lovely, the food excellent and the team decorated the table for us exactly as promised. It is to our great shame that we have lived in this area for 15 years and never thought to go for a meal, but we will be more regular guests now (especially for special occasions).
"Superb venue and staff"
We have just spent 5 nights at Webbington Hotel and cannot fault it in any way. The staff without exception were amazing! Always friendly, a smile on their face even when really busy, always went out of their way to help. Absolutely lovely food, one meal in the restaurant with the A la carte menu and several bar meals.
"Really bad"
Awful. Really awful. Hotel in major need of updating Our room was dirty: unhoovered floor with crumbs, windows black with grime, dusty, smells of smoke, beds really uncomfortable with only the thinnest pillow provided (you can feel the bed base through the mattress!) But Bathroom was spotless - would have slept in the shower if I could have! Room was so bad we did not stay Staff are friendly and accommodating and did refund us for the room which we really appreciated, but a real shame that the cleanliness and hotel environment lets them down.
"Let down by poor quality of rooms."
Appreciate we are coming out of a pandemic and finances will be tight but hotel is rather tired and almost ‘shabby' the bed (room 20) was appalling. You can feel every spring in the mattress and the first night I couldn't sleep at all. For night 2 I bought in a car blanket and used the duvet as a form of mattress protector to cover the springs which were digging into me. The room is disabled access???? However no red safety cord in bathroom, no extraction, no rubber anti slip bath mat, bath is standard high sided and no grab rail to assist getting in or out (it's hidden behind shower screen which can't be moved because of basin rail and even that is flaking paint everywhere. TV remote didn't work, battery cover missing and batteries held in with tape! As I say very very shabby, possibly fails to meet legal requirements for disabled access, very poor and no one on reception (I spoke with 2 people) could do anything about it other than say they will refer it back. The staff in general were very good, the food excellent but the room totally let down and almost spoilt the visit to be honest.
"Very enjoyable stay"
As the title suggests we had a very enjoyable stay at hotel. The health club is fantastic and very clean. We found all the staff in the hotel extremely professional and polite. Plenty to see and do in the local area.
"Brilliant vintage feel rooms"
We had an exec room over looking the outdoor bar and views of the hills. Watched the sunset from the courtyard and the bar staff are so lovely. Went for an early evening swim and it was great, sauna and steam was lovely too,but you have to walk through the gym to get there, I think the gym used to be the pool area at one point and it's been changed. Room was so comfy and quiet. Wish there was a bath in the room but there was a nice shower. I would come back here again.
"One Night Getaway For Two"
I would highly recommend this hotel. I stayed here last (20th Aug) for a one night getaway. Pros: Staff are always happy and work very hard. Manager is always about and never far away Processes seem to be well defined – everyone knows what they need to do. Obviously they have a thorough training program that works. Cons: Not really anything We booked the restaurant for dinner, 7pm. Nice atmosphere (great music). Good service, Quality food (had the Steak), hot plates. Breakfast was also very good. Croissants were the best !
"Excellent stay"
Lovely hotel, really helpful and polite staff, very thorough cleanliness in the room and at the breakfast buffet. Best night's sleep I've had in a hotel in years. Can't fault it for the price and look forward to returning for our honeymoon.
"Visage fasad."
My family stayed for 2 days for my aunts wedding Upon checking in I was charges double the price of what was agreed on my confirmation. £99 a room per night, at wedding party discount price-. We checked and we could have booked on the day for £89 without the discount. The food was poor. We ate in the restaurant on our first night and the Al Carte menu expensive for pre- made slightly heated food, choice was limited and food was very bland. There was no children menu but you could order children portion from some of the mains. Breakfast was shockingly disgusting, sausages were dry and like cardboard. The room was small, very out dated with general maintenance neglected and the mattress dirty and uncomfortable. The walls are very thin and you can hear the neighbour 4 doors down fart as well as the room above us toilet water coming down back of our walls every time they flushed. There was no consideration to the needs of our stay, knowing we had a small child, we were put in a room with glass plaques on the bedside tables and desk which obviously was the first thing our child went for. We had to take them off and hide them. There was no safety catch for the window this could be opened fully. During our stay I had a beauty treatment for which I was required to use the shower, the shower head was mouldy, I was able to wipe black mould off with tissue. Some of the swimming pool tiles were broken and my partner cut his finger quite badly. There is a serious wasp problem and the staff seem obliviously to the nest that is situated in one of the chimneys. The only good thing about our stay was the friendly staff. A shame really as such a beautiful building in a beautiful location could have so much more potential. I would honestly rate a Premier Inn or travel lodge higher than the Webbington Hotel and Spa. Disgusting, disappointing and dissatisfied. Do not be fooled.
"Staycation"
My wife and myself spent 3 days at the Webbington hotel. Rooms were very clean and had everything you required. The restaurant and bar staff were superb and delivered great service. Breakfast was of a good quality.
"So good to be back"
After all the disruptions and interruptions of covid, it was so nice to come back to the familiar warm welcome and great atmosphere of the Webbington. As ever, they hold that perfect balance of informality and quality guest experience - working really hard to cater for everyone, keep us covid safe and relaxed - plentiful, well-prepared and reasonably priced food - clean and spacious room - so grateful that after 18 months of pandemic, this place has lost none of its charm. Thanks to all the staff for looking after us so well.
"Just not good"
When I booked this hotel it is advertised on their website that you can still use the loungers by the pool in line with covid guidelines. Discovered that was not the case. I asked where the loungers were at the leusuire reception and I was told they are away and the exact words were because they were dirty and minging. Nothing to do with covid. Raised it with the manager at the hotel who said he didn't know if they could be put out and needed to check with head office. I complained to head office. Offered a nights refund as I paid for something that was advertised and did not get this. Manager very unhelpful. I will be proceeding with a charge back from my bank for this partial refund. Other issues with the hotel : Was not told you had to book the pool on half hour slots before booking. Was not told you had to specifically opt in for your room to be seen too each day, until I asked for some clean towels and my bin to be emptied. When I asked for this I was told I should have opted in for this service and I said I'm staying for 5 days of course I need coffee cups cleaning etc. The spa I had booked a couples massage at cancelled on me and rearranged. And then on the morning of the new appointment I was told it may need to be rearranged again. The food in the restraunt was just not good in the nights, and their were multiple people complaining. The music in the bar is one song constantly on a loop and there is no atmosphere or reason to drink there in the evening. I booked this to relax and lounge by the pool which I obviously couldn't do. As there's nothing around the hotel to do other than this reason I booked taxis etc to go to places. Was not the relaxing break away i hoped for. I would not stay here again. Cleanliness was poor in the room on arrival. See photos. Dead fly stuck on wall. Soap splashed on door, dusy lamp and dirty lamp shades Was offered a free bar meal for compensation. Drinks not included. Wish I stayed somewhere that was not advertised with a pool and spa. I would have paid a lot less.
"Amazing!!"
Me and my partner spent two nights at the hotel which were amazing, the food in both the bar and restaurant were delicious. The gym and spa facilities were great. I also had a full body massage which was absolutely amazing and for an unbelievable price! I would highly recommend!
"Dreadful ......"
My wife and I stopped here a couple of weeks ago on a long break ..I know we were still in a mask wearing situation, but the hotel was full and the room we were put in was ...awful it was a standard room of which the picture on the Web site must have been their best room as it was nothing like what were given ,I asked for an upgrade and was told the hotel was full ...we had to put the light on In the day!!!! Our cat has a better room at home and it's cleaner .... We asked for numerous items at the restaurant and was told sorry we have ran out ...wine ,cider ,and even apple crumble on the menu after the so called Al a cart dinner ( steak and chips) ...I will never stop at a best Western again and it should be called worst western...if I had booked for a week we would have left after 2nd nite ....oh we did .
"Great stay"
Very friendly and helpful staff and great place for a quick stop for us. Will look to stop again when travelling down south or needing a local base for that area. Very impressed and made to feel very welcome.
"Little break "
What a fantastic location, very clean, friendly staff and nice food, ideal for a short break. I took my partner here for a one night stay with the purpose of visiting the surrounding area, Cheddar and to walk crooks peak. Recommend.
"Extremely disappointed"
This has to be one of our worst experiences ever, to many problems to mention but one of the worst was the restaurant the constant communication problems we had and utter incompetence of the staff, we shall not be visiting again.
"Give this one a miss"
Room 3 Great views of other rooftops Small creaky bed Flat uncomfortable pillows Missing drawer handle No remote back Very close to the wedding reception room (we were not guests) Sleep disturbed until approx 3am with banging music until midnight and then giggling / crying drunk wedding guests for the rest of the time Very busy communal area when we checked in which didn't feel COVID secure Food was nice but tainted by them trying to charge us twice for drinks No one available for discussion upon checkout No one contacted me that day as promised Still no telephone contact despite being emailed by Jamie Munn telling me he'd call on Friday afternoon. Our stay was Last Friday…. A whole week ago. Clearly not bothered and a complete let down to the Best Western brand.
"Enjoyable break"
Very friendly staff, hotel amenities very good although Hotel itself could do with a bit of updating. Restaurant is ok if you don't want to go out. Breakfast has a range of continental & full English items. Rooms are basic but more than adequate. Pool, gym & spa are all ok too. Would recommend to stay here unless you have mobility issues as there are lots of steps throughout.
"Exceptional Venue"
Fabulous Views from executive suite across country side. Although some parts of the rooms need a little updating the stay was extremely comfortable and the staff were very hard working. Nothing was too much trouble, if there was a question or issue. Restaurant had amazing food , fish and chips was exceptional and nice surrounding areas to sit and relax. We were there for a wedding and the staff worked tirelessly making sure everything was perfect.
"Room was very tiny"
We were given, which felt like a box room which had a small double instead of a double bed (which we requested). Also mattress kept slipping so pillow would fall between the gap of the mattress and wall.
"Excellent as Always"
Was first time back for a while due to current world Covid situation but as on previous stays the staff and made us very welcome. The house keeping team had done an excellent job on the presentation of all areas. Room, including bathroom, was just spotless and the leisure center the same. The pool booking system was a great idea and again the cleanliness was outstanding. First class breakfast with good quality items and some great little extras too.
"A nice family break"
Stayed here for two nights with family. We enjoyed our stay. The staff were very welcoming. Our room was very clean with nice views. The children enjoyed the swimming pool also clean and not over crowded due to the limited people allowed in at one time. The only issue was climbing 3 flights of stairs with luggage as there is no lift at the hotel. Breakfast was nice, however lacked in continental breakfast choice. Overall a lovely stay will definitely stay again in future and would definitely recommend.
"Pleasant stay"
We found the hotel to be pleasant, clean and welcoming. The staff were friendly and helpful at all times. The food was lovely. Always hot and plenty of choice. The views from our room were amazing. Check in and check out was easy. Only slight downside was no aircon as it was a heatwave! Would reccomend to all though.
"Short stay"
Hotel is positioned in a nice location and within easy reach of the main routes The hotel is Clean & tidy with good facilities. The hotel rooms need air conditioning especially for the hot summer nights.
"Expectations not realised"
We came here for our first getaway for what seems an eternity. Check in was easy, very helpful staff all the way through our stay. Unfortunately we have had some issues that haven't been sorted. We booked an executive room, pics on the website are great on first sight room is very nice, a nice new carpet, nice bathroom but that evening the problems started to appear. There is a monotonous drip from the toilet cistern which did annoy me, the bathroom door sticks firmly when closed, the tv is probably at the only place it could be but is impossible to see from one side of the bed. I did ask for a room change but there are no more available, so it's drip drip cistern tonight too. There was talk of someone fixing the issues but nothing has been done yet. Drinks are quite expensive, 2 cokes (pints) £7. I'm also glad that I bought my own fan. Overall the staff are lovely and quite attentive but problem solving seems to be difficult. I will say that the spa treatments seem to be reasonably priced when compared to my local spa. I feel a bit mean being so negative, as we all know it's been a rubbish 18 months for the hospitality industry but I have also had a lean year so this is probably my only break in 2021 and I have expectations.
"Birthday visit"
Another fantastic visit to the hotel for my birthday. The room was amazing and had a lot of original features. The food is beautiful and well priced. The staff are always so polite,helpful and friendly. Looking forward to our next visit.
"Do not have a wedding here!!!"
What can I say. Awful too many complaints to list. Stayed here for a wedding. Registry lady was not nice and rushed through. Wedding breakfast special diet was hideous. As for the hog roast, we'll that was just one try of pulled pork!! And as for lemonade poured from a bottle £9 for 2.5 pints!! And that's just some of the moans there are more.
Dear 629lynseyb Thank you for your review. I was most disappointed to read your comments, as we would normally receive positive feedback regarding such events at our hotel. I can confirm that we have spoken to the Happy Couple following the wedding, as we do contact all our wedding couples following their memorable day, to ensure all was well and that the day was as they had planned. I can confirm that the feedback from the Bride and Groom was that they had thoroughly enjoyed their day and that they were extremely pleased with the food (particularly the vegetarian option). They have also confirmed that they will be continuing to use our hotel for future visits. I can only apologise for any ‘rushed' proceedings by the Local Registrars, unfortunately, the hotel has no jurisdiction with regards to these proceedings. However, we will certainly share your feedback with the local Registrar's Office. We do truly value customer feedback and constructive comments, as this helps to ensure we continue to deliver the standards and services that our hotel and staff strive to achieve and have received many positive comments on. I am extremely sorry that you did not thoroughly enjoy your visit to our hotel for such a special occasion. Best regards Guest Relations Webbington Hotel & Spa
"Great massage"
My allocated room did not look anything like the one on the website. The room was very small room, but it was clean and had everything I needed. When booking the room I had asked if I could have a quiet room away from communal areas and preferably the top floor. I got a room on the first floor above the hospitality area, which meant I could regularly hear them dumping bottles into the recycling bins during the afternoon and some sort of fans or A/C going all night long. The bar according to the website serves food from 12.00-9.30 from it's lounge menu. This translated to 'we can only serve sandwiches before 2pm'. Although the hotel has large areas for entertaining they squeezed us on to the tables for dinner and breakfast. At breakfast I had to remove my cutlery from the table to gain enough space to be able to put my breakfast plate down. On a positive note the massage and facial were fabulous. Probably one of the best massages I have ever had. The gym was well equipped and all equipment worked well. You need to book Spa treatments and the pool in advance. Breakfast was really nice. It was hot and fresh. Don't forget to book your breakfast slot otherwise you will not be able to get breakfast at the time you planning. The hotel had signs in reception to remind you to wear a face mast....but the guests for the wedding party did not seem to think that this applied to them. It was the highest risk COVID environment I have been in. I hasten to add that all serving, spa and cleaning staff were all wearing either a mask or a visor
"Staff were superb!!"
Stayed here recently for a wedding and was really impressed. Venue has lots of rustic charm and lovely panoramic views. Rooms were clean and comfortable. I cannot comment on breakfast or spa, as I did not partake in either. For me what made the place were the staff! They could not have been more friendly, helpful and accommodating. From the staff on the reception desk, to the waiting and bar staff. They really made the day special for everyone concerned in what are currently very difficult times. Will definitely be making a return visit and cannot recommend highly enough!!
"Rutter"
Stayed for 5 days last week. Lovely location and views. Nice comfy bed. Staff very nice and friendly. Food is good. Only downfall was breakfast as it stated continental breakfast or cooked, but continental doesn't consist of cereal and toast. No fresh fruit, pastries, crumpets, cheese and ham etc. Management need to look at this. People in reviews say it is dated, but it is an Edwardian place so what do you expect. We had a lovely time and hope to return again.
"FAMILY REUNION"
It was our first get together for our family since the start of Covid and I can sincerely say the staff at this hotel were superb in making our stay so very special. The hotel is in a beautiful setting and the views from the terrace are amazing. Our rooms were very nice and clean and the food was very good and the service in the bar and restaurant was always excellent served by the most pleasant staff who always greeted us with a smile and asking if we were ok We will definitely return sometime soon. Would the hotel manager please thank all the staff for their efforts.
"Clean and comfortable with staff going above and beyond for guests"
The bed was very comfortable and there is a lovely foyer to meet friends for drinks before and after dinner, as well as a terrace with fabulous views. We stayed in this hotel as my husband was doing a 200mile cycle challenge along with 5 others. We were unsure of what time they'd get in and knew they'd be starving. The reception and kitchen staff were SO helpful and accommodating with our ever changing timeline and stayed late to make food and have it ready for their very late arrival. Customer service was excellent throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this lovely hotel
"Very tired hotel"
My wife and I stayed here for a mini break after our wedding to visit Cheddar. Upon arrival i wasn't impressed. The whole place is very tired and dated. The bed was small and very uncomfortable. I requested an iron and ironing board and couldn't fill the iron with water as when I did it leaked everywhere. And there was some heart shaped confetti type stuff on the floor in our room obviously from the previous guests. There is a free gym, swimming pool, sauna and steam room, which were fine but to access the sauna and steam room, you have to walk through the gym on carpet, past everyone which isn't ideal when you've just got out the pool. It wasn't all bad though. The parking was ample and free. The food, especially the buffet breakfast was great. The staff were friendly enough. The evening bar was nice and has some very comfortable sofas to relax on. Beth gave us both amazing massages too. The best I'd ever had. I mentioned to her that the place was old and knackered and she said everyone says that so I think the owners should take that on board as the place has a lot of potential.
"Lovely Bank Holiday Break"
We visited for our first trip since the pandemic began and we were not disappointed. The Webbington Team made us welcome and fell safe. From the time we checked in to to time we left nothing was too much trouble. Our room was very clean and airy and we could choose when we wanted it serviced. We ate in the bar and the restaurant and the food and service was again brilliant. The staff were so friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble at all for any of them, and they did it all with smiles on there faces. We thoroughly recommend this hotel, its very relaxing with a lovely terrace to enjoy a drink and watch the sunset. For us it was most definitely about the high level of service. Thank you we will definitely return for another visit.
"Mr Douglas"
Staff were very good. Pool very clean and great for children but food very poor . I think a new chef is needed after having lunch we ate out every evening which was a shame.guests need to remember to where masks when walking around bar and breakfast room area . Very disrespectful
"Nice pool"
Stayed one night here. Staff were very helpful. Room was okay but walls paper thin and had a very loud couple next door that kept me awake. Pool was a great bonus. Everywhere clean. Breakfast was disappointing. If you didn't like a cooked breakfast then the choice was limited to cereal, yoghurt and toast. No fresh fruit, croissants or pastries.
"Evening meal"
We booked a table on Saturday the 1st weekend after lock down I can only say our experience was one of enjoyment our daughter is getting married in june there so we wanted to have a practice drive from the moment we walked in the reception man was lovely and confirmed a few things for us for the wedding moving into the bar and restaurant the staff were some of the most happy and helpful waiters and waitress we have been greeted by the food was lovely well priced the service was amazing once we had eaten we went to the bar area for a drink which again we couldn't fault we wish you all the very best and are very much looking forward to coming back in june to stay with you for a few days 10/10 Thank you for a enjoyable evening
"Webbington Hotel & Spa"
Room number: 5 paid £230.00 Cheek in time 3pm Stayed 2 nights First of all don't be Fold by the pictures on the website!! The rooms aren't anything like the pictures. Bedroom: first impressions disappointed the room was out dated needed some TLC doing!! Bed was extremely uncomfortable our back hurt (massage should come complimentary) it's that bad! The carpet is Disgusting needs cleaning especially with someone who has a baby I would not put the baby on the floor it's that dirty!! The windows need a good clean, however that wasn't a problem as we shut the curtains as the View was appalling, Kettle was dirty. Shower room: was perfect modern. Staff: Lady behind reception extremely friendly and welcoming. However floor staff was unknowledgeable didn't know anything about breakfast menu and I asked for an Apple juice didn't receive it but tried to bill me for it. Swimming pool: very clean and modern. But Water was cold especially for a baby. Steam room: perfect clean, relaxing. Hotel bar: fabulous but little cold. Food: ok was cold had to take back to the kitchen but they sorted it out was fine afterwards. aged 28 my partner 30 We came to have nice weekend away from the kids. As a hotel if you want to keep the hotel running impressing Younger couples due to being social media active would help your hotel to be busier. I would star the hotel (7) Cleaning and A bit more paint would make a massive improvement Hallway and stairs need a good hoover to. Mr L knapp Miss N Bailey
"My favourite choice of get-away stay!"
Just a few twisty turns of the M5 motorway you can find yourself in a mind cleansing sanctuary of the Webbington Hotel & Spa. A characteristic property with modern additions, featuring a stunning choice of rooms and a very well equipped gym and spa. On arrival you will see a delightful team on reception whom catchphrase seems to be “Not a problem”, seriously the team here strives to overcome all of any issues you may have. Headed by a very charming GM, you are in good hands, just ask nicely and most - if not all – concerns will be dealt with. I have stayed with many hotels, some much more of a booking price to which that I have felt less valued, so I feel that it is staff that adds the value to overcome the rest of the competition. I will not begin to contest the other diner's experiences in some previous posts, I found the food to be delectable and prepared to a very good standard, just miss the Tuna Steak you once had on offer in previous years (I'm a Corona Moaner). All in all… we have been regular visitors for nearly 5 years now, you've never let us down once. Great work all and keep it up! Looking forward to seeing my mate Joao's (a guy with multiple roles and caretaking of this venue) next woodwork masterpiece. Superb work all! Stay safe, keep well & We'll see you all soon! Best regards, Al. P.S. Stop booking the grand rooms when I want them!
"Very pleasant stay."
Visited 23 Oct, The location is excellent and we had a pleasant stay that was very good value. Staff were attentive and polite. Due to our arrival time we did not have an evening meal but the included breakfast was very good (I ordered extras) Overall, we found the service was excellent and would happily return.
"The food really is as bad as everyone is saying!"
Popped in for a quick overnight stay (we film hotel reviews for YouTube) and I'd say the outside and reception are nice, bar has been nicely refurbished, rooms need some work! Now onto the food, it's very expensive from the outset but reading other reviews I had to try it, to see just how bad it was. A £13.95 broad bean and minor Risotto was ordered and a curry at a similarly inflated price. Both arrived in under 10 mins and sadly I knew the fate of my risotto , mush and microwaved and to top it off they even left the mint out. I sent it back and didn't get beyond one mouthful, I requested an immediate refund and actually did get it. The curry, overpriced with micro rice and a floppy spongy naan bread, but the actual curry was ok very tomatoey and watery. Breakfast is again expensive and given the quality of the food from the night before luckily I had the sense to not attend. £11.95 for a small full English or £6.95 for a breakfast bap which would contain 1 bacon, 1 sausage and maybe an egg. In summary stay if you are ok with basic 3* rooms, but DO NOT EAT HERE there are so many bad reviews on the food and sadly it really is true. PS £4.90 a pint also :/ sad times and again very expensive.
Dear joemC8236EZ Thank you for your recent review. I was disappointed to read that you did not thoroughly enjoy your entire experience of our Webbington Hotel. Whilst we have been receiving some less than desirable feedback regarding the dining at the hotel, we do also receive many positive comments via review sites and online travel agent websites along with guests' comments at the time of dining. I would like to point out that the number of negative comments made here on TripAdvisor is only a very small number of the actual guests that have dined in the hotel restaurant and in most cases did not afford the hotel management team to rectify the issue at the time. I am however glad that you could speak with a member of the team and have your risotto refunded immediately. The above being said, I would like to take this opportunity to state that we do take all guest feedback seriously and welcome the opportunity to address and areas that our guests feel need attention. Therefore, we have, and will continue to speak with the hotel management and kitchen teams to ensure we continue to deliver the level of service and standards we pride ourselves on and that many guests comment positively on. We would like the opportunity to discuss your feedback in a little more detail, if you would be so kind to contact the hotel directly on [email protected] and mark for the attention of the Manager on Duty we will reply as quickly as we can. We do truly value all of our guest's comments. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel, we hope that we will have the pleasure to welcome you back again soon. Kindest regards Guest Relations Webbington Hotel and Spa
"Could be brilliant but needs the basics sorting"
We visited on the way back from the South West and stopped over for two days. I have to say that on pulling up to the hotel (and based on the website) we had high expectations, however, when you get past reception and the foyer things start to take a downward turn. The room we had was dated, which I could live with (even at £180 for two nights) but what I struggled with was very hard mattresses where you could feel the springs all night long. My partner had a bad back both mornings and I struggled to sleep. The mattresses have seen better days and I could count the springs. The lamps were missing bulbs and many switches didn't operate the lights not to mention some mould around the window and cobwebs in a number of places. The shower pressure dropped constantly and ran cold for a period of time. Like others on here I would advise you to avoid the overpriced and poor quality food. We ate in the "restaurant" on night one and the food was dire. My chicken was like chewing gum and my partners scampi and chips were like deep fried water... no flavour at all. The food is overpriced and I would expect to spend half the amount for better quality. The breakfast is also poor quality and didn't include some of the options stated on their site. The breakfast is way overpriced at nearly £12 per person. We will not be stopping again as we pass as there is much better quality out there at a similar price. I explained all this on check out and they accepted things had deteriorated on the food front. I had a response regarding the food but not related to the quality of sleep and shower issues. For me it is 2 star rooms at 3 star prices. It is such a shame as there is so much potential for the building and location.
Dear rm2044 Many thanks for your review, regarding your recent stay at our country house hotel and the comments you make. I would like to point out that all our beds are regularly checked by housekeeping and immediately changed if found not up to our very high standards of comfort. However, when it comes to mattress comfort, no two guests have the same needs, so I am sorry that yours was not to your liking in this instance. Many of our hotel residents take the opportunity to dine with us and it is very rare we receive negative feedback regarding the quality of the standards or service. We do sincerely appreciate your feedback and we are very sorry that you did not thoroughly enjoy your dining experience. Please rest assured that your comments will be shared with the hotel management and kitchen teams to ensure we continue to provide and improve the standards and service that we pride ourselves on.' Thank you once again for taking the time to post this review which is much appreciated. Yours sincerely Guest Relations Webbington Hotel and Spa
"Clean and comfortable "
The hotel was both clean and comfortable. However, walls rather thin, so I could hear someone in the next room snoring. Additionally it's an old building with dated decor - could do with an update. That said, friendly staff and great location.
"Not a good stay"
The hotel was clean, and my wife and I my felt Covid-19 safe. Check in was quick and easy. Our room was very clean. The restaurant experience was awful. The food is overpriced for what you get. Portions were small and and not very tasty. I had to send my food back to the kitchen as the pasta was drowning in water. When it came back, the food had clearly been drained and reheated in the microwave. This make the food very unappetising. When I mentioned that I could knock a nail in the wall all with the garlic bread, the waiter told me that this is what happens when ciabatta bread is put in the oven. When I explained to him that I am a baker with 30 years experience and that he was lying, he went red and begrudgingly replaced the garlic bread with a fresh slice. Strange how the fresh slice wasn't so hard. The breakfast is also overpriced. For nearly £12 you get one sausage, a rasher of bacon, one hash brown, half a tomato and a very small portion of baked beans. You also get tea or coffee. I have had better meals at better value you at a premier Inn. This is one hotel we will not be going back to.
Dear Mark P Thank you for your review. We are very happy that you found our hotel was Covid-19 safe and clean and the reception team welcoming and informative. I was however disappointed to read your feedback regarding your dining experiences, for which we are truly sorry. Your feedback is very welcome and will be used to ensure we continue to maintain and improve the standards and service that we strive to achieve for all our guests.

We do hope you will offer us the opportunity to welcome you back again, so that you can thoroughly enjoy the whole experience. Please do contact the hotel directly should you wish to return, so that we can assure you of an enjoyable stay and an exclusive dining offer. Thank you for your valued feedback.

"Mini break"
Stayed here for a short break, 3 nights. Staff all very pleasant & helpful. Swimming pool nice, you have to pre book half hour slots, which is fine. Quirky hotel, needs some TLC, our room was OK. Food could be better, you had to pre order breakfast! Great views, a little isolated. Overall nice stay.
"Awful"
Checked in for what was meant to be a surprise special birthday weekend away, we ended up leaving after one night because the stay was awful. Rooms were so run down, our shower was still leaking 3 hours after using it, paint pealing off the walls, 2 hard scratchy single beds pushed together, that's just the start! We decided to dine in the restaraunt, were told they were full when we requested so went down earlier. Didn't see a single other resident throughout the night. The food was horrific. I would be embarrassed to serve that to my customers. Very low standard cafe style food. Breakfast was just as bad. The one thing I can say is the receptionist on check in and the waitress were doing the best with what they had to work with. The manager we spoke to in the morning was awful, (His name began with P?) He just wanted to get rid of us and not hear us out or try to solve any issues we raised. Awful man and awful hotel. What a shame.
Dear mcolwill95 Thank you for taking the time to share your review following your recent visit to our Webbington Hotel and Spa, we are sincerely sorry that you did not thoroughly enjoy your stay.

"Excellent stay "
A fantastic weekend. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms clean and comfy. Food tasty, plentiful, hot and good value. Only downside was pool closed due to “incident “. But it looked good . Would return and recommend
"Ok"
Overnight stay, hotel was full and saw lots of guests walking in hotel with no masks on! Clean and plenty of hand sanitiser throughout the building. Very dated and in need of some attention. Staff were all good. We were in room 16, supposed to be an Executive room, I'd hate to see the standard doubles! Room not as described on their website. How come there are no biscuits in the room in a 3 star hotel! Asked at reception but was told they didn't have any! Had to ask for hot chocolate! Room was over the kitchen so fan was going until about 9:45pm and the cooking smells filled the room. Creaky floor boards, creaky bed and pillows that need replacing! Full English breakfast not worth £11.95pp!
"2 night break"
We really enjoyed our stay, staff friendly, breakfast was fine for us. The room was clean and tidy. The pool was fine. We would definitely stay at this hotel again. Good location and lots of places to visit, we enjoyed going to Cheddar gorge
"Stunning"
We had a really enjoyable overnight stay. Resturant was very enjoyable food was good portions and very tasty.. room was a lovely size the only negative comment would be the curtains let in a lot of light.. staff were all very friendly and helpful we would definitely stay again
"Oh dear."
What can I say? Would love to leave a good review but that is seriously not possible. This hotel should prewarn customers that there is no lift available. Seeing as there was a high percentage of older guests this was a problem. We had to drag (literally) bags up more than 4 flights of stairs. Difficult with a chronic back injury. FOOD WAS DIRE. £61 for dinner which I would have happily paid had it been adequate. IT WAS NOT. I realise that the hotel is working to a reduced menu but surely that should not affect the quantity or quality of what is put out to customers. Room was tiny and some staff surly. Never again.
"Overpriced"
The staff were pleasant and helpful - a plus. The rooms were small, the Covid packs issued to each guest were stingy and the food was poor. There no biscuits in the the coffee/tea packs and the evening meal was bought in catering,and poor to boot. When we gave a polite non-commital response to our waiter's asking us about our meal, two eyebrows went up in response. We were a party of three blokes walking the Mendip Way from Weston-super-Mare to Frome. This was easily the worst of the four places we stayed at and the most expensive.
"Another fine stay"
Stop off from North Wales on way home. Clean room helpful staff and covid followed but not over the top or In your face. Visit here quite regular nice touch rearranging reception. Booked an half hour slot in the pool all good. Breakfast was a bit of a downer but cant grumble. The rest of the place and the staff made up for it. Plus a nice evening meal
"Mr"
Arrived late on a Saturday night. Staff were very helpful, although the room was on the small side it was more than adequate very clean and comfortable. There was nothing wrong with the breakfast as some people who are saving these reviews the waitresses were first class and a credit to the hotel breakfast having breakfast on the sun Terrace was a lovely experience and having the pool to myself was great. I would definitely stay here again and I think some of the reviews are being over critical.
"Pretty poor overall"
no atmosphere...mediocre food, room kettle was grim. Stayed in a marriott post covid and it was an amazing experience- this fell very short. Gym was lovely. Shame we were only allowed 30mins in the pool. Changing rooms very limited for number of people. Nobody really seemed to know how things were supposed to be running. A very disappointing stay although the surroundings were stunning.
"Last minute Late booking"
Helpful staff , very clean hotel , great sun terrace food ok, bedroom compact and nice . Lovely countryside views a change from the usuals hustle and bustle .we would stay again , some quirky little pubs around also
"Don't bother with the breakfast"
We had a good sized family room for three of us and the shower was great. Didn't get a chance to use the pool sadly as only there one night. Hotel is in a good location for Cheddar Gorge. No lift so be aware if you can't do stairs. However, I'd say don't bother with the breakfast - especially if you're vegetarian. We couldn't eat the sausage and bacon so basically had one slice of toast, an egg, half a tomato, one hash brown, baked beans and tea for £10 each. No croissants, fruit, yogurts, cereals or anything. Having paid £18 for the two of us (with our daughter free) at another hotel before which had a full English with mushrooms and veggie options, unlimited cereals, croissants, muffins, toast, crumpets, fruit, and porridge which we felt was good value, we were really disappointed with this. Definitely not worth £30. I'm sure some of the cafes nearby would have been much cheaper.
"Overnight Stay"
We have stayed here many times. Obviously this was a little different. It just seemed a little over the top as regards COVID. Wearing masks around the hotel seems to me to be a little over the top. No cash allowed at the bar which seems to me to be a rarity in other places i go to. Waiting staff with masks which made it very difficult to understand what they were saying. Meals were bought out on a tray and just left on the table for you to help yourself. I know this is the rules at some places but it takes away the personal touch. Tables very distant from others which takes away from the atmosphere. We had to book the pool for a 30 minute slot and the sauna and steam room were unavailable. I know they were probably adhering to the rules but it does take away something from the hotel. Food was OK but not as good as in previous years. Having your toiletries tea and coffee and cups given to you at reception in paper bags also seemed a bit over the top. I hope its back to normal next time we go.
"Average hotel, Above average staff"
Stayed for 4 nights last week. Courtyard, standard double, room tired and dated decor. Had electrical fault and bathroom leak during stay. All though initially we couldn't move room, due to fully booked hotel, we did get upgrade for our last night. Overall, the hotel is in a good location to visit Cheddar Gorge, Bath and Weston-super-mare and, the swimming pool and gym were available to book for use, it is a 3 star hotel with 5 star ambition. PLEASE READ ON FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION: negatives over, now the positives. Considering the stringent Covid-19 rules and regs the staff need all the praise in the world for being tirelessly attentive to all our needs, providing an environment where the public can return to holidays and short breaks in a safe manner and communicating efficiently when needed to resolve issues. A HUGE thank you to the Duty Manager (Richard, I think) who sorted out our room move. 5 stars for all the staff at the hotel.
"Hotel desperately needs updating "
Stayed for a weekend break , hotel Is clean and views are spectacular and it's a great location with cheddar gorge a short drive away . Rooms are very dated and communal areas smell musty and damp Food in restaurant was very poor and service not great ! Breakfast was however even worse almost uneatable
"Relaxing comfortable two day stay"
Very pleased with our room. Very comfortable and clean. Tea making facilities too. Able to book evening meal times, you can also order breakfast choice the day before too making service very fast. Special thanks to the excellent professional friendly staff during this very difficult time. All wearing masks at all times. Dining room spaced out very carefully giving plenty of room making you feel very safe. Enjoyed my bar and evening meals. Would definitely go back. Makes ideal base for visits to Cheddar Gorge and Weston Super Mare. Or just to celebrate special occasions with family.
"Recent visit"
Just returned from a 3 day mini break at the Webbington. Staff were very genuine, friendly and attentive. The kitchen was flexible with our pre ordered breakfast, we changed it each morning. The pool and gym was spotlless and the booking system, due to COVID, worked very well. Rooms were small but adequate, spotlessly clean and very comfy bed. Would recommend and will definitely return.
"Good break"
stayed here for three nights. Staff very good and friendly. Good pool due to covid can only book half hour slot. Food reasonable be nice when menu gets back to normal. Breakfast OK states on menu preserves and cereal bar, had to ask for preserves but didn't see a cereal bar. If you wanted tea, coffee or alcohol during the day had to go and look for someone to serve you. Would we stay again yes we would.
"Lovely staff very poor food"
We stayed at the webbington yesterday evening. When we arrived after a long day of travelling we went to the bar where they had barely any beer on tap (Carlin's only) and very limited wine - I asked for Pinot Grigio they had none! We had booked dinner and when we arrived we ordered teriyaki salmon which said it was served with vegetables, a burger and the steak. The salmon was over cooked but fine however it was served with cauliflower, carrots and cabbage - very odd selection of vegetables to serve with an oriental dish. The veg as bland and under cooked. The burger was too rare so we had to send it back and the steak, although cooked nicely was a very poor piece of meat with loads of gristle. What was frustrating was that the 50% off was available eat out to help out, so that must have indicated that more people would eat there - drinks should have been available. Breakfast this morning was ok but the sausage was dry. The staff were excellent, the swimming pool lovely. I think the main thing letting down the hotel is the quality of the chefs in the kitchen which was very poor indeed. Most of the recent reviews are saying the same.
"Not a Good Stay"
Small Attic room that was very stuffy and hot. One tiny window and a shower that can't get water higher than your nose. Staff were surly and made you feel like a hinderance rather than welcome guests. No room cleaning between stays. BREAKFAST was very very poor. One very small bowl of insipid cornflakes and 2 cold slices of toast, prepared earlier. Served on 1 plate between both my wife and I. Surly staff weren't happy when I asked for some fruit.
"Lovely stay"
It was simply amazing! The staff worked very hard to make our stay pleasant, nothing was too much trouble:) Our room was immaculate and welcoming with a nice balcony. The terrace with the view is absolutely stunning,if you are lucky enough to have a nice weather i highly recommend to have your dinner outside on the terrace. The menu is a bit limited but concidering the current covid19 situation, i think it's understandable (i look forward to try the standard menu in the future) For those who are complaining that there is no aircon or elevator, please do not forget that this is a 3-star hotel and the price what they are asking for a night is absolutely adequate, yes, there are loads of steps but all the staff prepared to make your stay as pleasant as possible, my advice is to let yourself enjoy a little break after the lockdown Thank you for all the staff, keep up the good work! we will definitely return xx
"Disappointing!"
Covid-19 restrictions were dealt with well, but executive room was disappointing and not worth extra money. Bedside ligt didn't work. Food at dinner and breakfast only luke warm. This was booked as a special weekend away for partner's 60th birthday, but was disappointing. Had I have known this hotel was a Best Western I would have not booked it. No where on the website does it mention that the hotel is part of the Best Western chain. You only get to know this as you pull up at the entrance of the hotel
"a fading beauty"
The location is excellent and the Edwardian hotel has its own beauty. BUT. There is no lifts (and there are lots of stairs), no air con in the rooms, no fridges in the rooms. Whilst we were there they introduced a COV19 regime that was regimental. Rooms weren't cleaned during your stay. Breakfast had to be pre ordered and came without cereal or fruit. Please someone save this lovely hotel.
"Halfway stop off from Cornwall to Essex"
Convenient location off M4 close to Cheddar gorge Convenient means noisy can't keep windows open Don't be fooled by the example photos for an executive room Only 2 like this one is bridal suit Photo shows outdoor space and a much better quality than we were given Queried with reception and was told we could not be moved Helpful staff Good value food And clean You get what you pay for don't expect to much
"Short stay"
We recently staying at the Webbington hotel and I must say it was a pleasant stay. We were visiting the area as family were staying locally. The first impression of the hotel was very impressive. The check in was very pleasant and the receptionist was very pleasant and explained very clearly the procedures due to the recent COVID-19 situation. Room was very clean and tidy and there was plenty of hand sanitizer throughout the whole building. On the first night we booked a table in the restaurant which was very enjoyable. The only negative I would say is when we ordered the dessert we asked if we could have cream with it and we was charged 50p which I thought was a little tight but it is what it is. All in all a very happy 3 nights with family and the views on the terrace were outstanding.. would definitely visit again
"Not bad, considering "
We booked in advance and made our way to the hotel from Kent. Travelling with my stepdaughter, I booked a twin room. I even emailed them beforehand to make sure it was a twin room and got confirmation back that it was. We arrived, and parked the car in their beautiful car park, very safe and secure. At the time of check in, we were given our room key, and told where to find our room and that in case we need anything we can call down from the room. Walked to our room, which wasn't easy to find I must say, and walked in - it was a double. So we went back to reception with our bags and told them we booked a twin, and they said they could see it was booked as such, but they weren't sure why it wasn't awarded. They advised they could either turn the room into a twin or give us a new room even though the system showed that no twins are available. They asked to give them a few minutes and then come back. So we went to the car for a bit, leaving our bags at reception , and when we came back ten mins later, they decided a twin was available after all and exchanged they keys. We went off to find our new room, and it was all good. Very clean, and acceptable. We also were asked at reception whether we'll be dining there that evening, which we hadn't planned yet, so said we'll let them know shortly. We decided to call down for room service and we received it soon after. We stayed for three nights and ordered room service without prebooking or using their app, and had no issues. Even breakfast was delivered to the room. Checking out is also made easier now, just leave the key in the room and call to make sure there's no charges you've added to the room. All good. Staff are friendly and helpful, I've got no issues with the place at all.
"Fantastic stay"
We stayed at the hotel on route to Devon, shortly after the COVID-19 lockdown. I must say I was a little anxious, but right from the moment we arrived we were given a very warm and safe welcome by the excellent male receptionists. We were asked if we wanted tea and coffee, and toiletries, that had been carefully prepared in pre-sanitised and safe plastic bags. I am sorry, I don't know your name, but you were warm and friendly and a credit to the hotel. Pre-dinner drinks were served on the outdoor terrace overlooking the beautiful Somerset Levels towards the sea, and social distancing and customer safety was second to none. Dinner and breakfast in the restaurant were served by Bruno, who again couldn't do enough to look after us, and any special measures seemed second nature. He was friendly and helpful throughout. Our room, an executive double, was delightful with its own seating area and luxury bathroom facilitated a delightful nights stay after a stressful time at work. What more can I say .. I don't think I can recommend the welcome, friendliness, quality, consideration and surroundings enough!!
"Mini break."
Ideally situated between Cheddar, wookey hole, Weston-super-Mare at one time I'm sure this was a grand Hotel however it is extremely dated apart from the lobby. Our room was extremely disappointing. Most of the staff were pleasant and very helpful.
"Recent Stay post covid-19"
Have stayed here on business for many years - to return after lock down the Hotel has had a makeover and the team have come back stronger, new menu and all staff fully adhering to all protocol on cleanliness. The room was immaculately clean and had obviously been redecorated. Well Done All
"Ok visit. "
Staff were brilliant. No soap included in bag that is handed to at reception. Stayed 2 nights and requested coffee to be told there was none left. Food in the restaurant very disappointing, complained about the chicken but nothing more was said and no money off meal offered. Would stay again when facilities are open. Nice location and views and very near beautiful cheddar.
"Erm, disappointing and feeling robbed"
Upon arrival greeted at reception by a friendly member of staff. Noticed that everywhere looked spotless and hang sanitiser stations everywhere which is very good (even if they forgot to supply us with a hand soap in our shower/bathroom pack). That's where the good ended. Room was way too hot, walls were so thin that you could hear a normal conversation through, loud and uncomfortable bed. Safe to say we did not get any sleep and we will not be staying here again. Feel absolutely robbed!
"Let down"
Our room was situated right next to the staircase, throughout our stay we heard people coming and going into the wee hours, we also had the pleasure of smelling other residents smoking and chatting due to over looking a seating area between the buildings, in the end we had to close our windows, which left the room stifling. The mattress was uncomfortable and missing a headboard, we barely slept. The room was clean but the shower required more of a deep clean. Cups, tea and coffee etc are handed to you in a plastic bag at reception as well as toiletries, completely unnecessary precaution due to CoVid!!!
"Excellent value, great Staff"
All Staff were very friendly. Hotel was very clean and excellent value for money. Drinks and food were great value for money. Room had everything you would need and was clean. I would definately stay at this Hotel again.
"Fantastic place to stay with wonderful staff"
We stayed the 1st night of lockdown restrictions being lifted. All social distancing guidelines were strictly adhered too but didnt reduce any of the friendliness or professionalism of the staff. The whole place was spotlessly clean and tidy and everyone there was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended
"Short break"
Great location and staff really friendly and helpful. Hotel spotlessly clean and lots of Covid-19 precautions in place. On arrival we were upgraded to the bridal suite which was a lovely surprise. Bar service very well organized and all tables and chairs were sanitized immediately after guests left their seats. Cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.
"Quaint Architecture, the rest Fawlty Towerseque! "
My friend booked this as a mini break, as part of an offer. The Hotel's Buildings and Architecture are interesting..... That's about it. Admittedly we checked in quite late, but on arrival to our room we had no tea nor coffee, and no soap/toiletries in the bathroom. We rang reception but no answer. Had to use my Shower Gel to wash our hands and wait until morning to make a cup of tea when they provided us with 1 tea bag each! This meagre rationing persisted throughout our 2 day stay. We stayed in room 19, which was hidden away at the top of the Hotel after a 40 or so steps and circuitous rabbit warren type ascent! Not for the faint hearted nor faint breathed! No lift lol! Room itself OK, but serenaded by the M5's traffic all night. Ordered a Room service delivered meal from the restaurant which was good! Hurray! Couldn't make use of any Spa, Gym, nor Pool facilities due to Covid Lockdown and couldn't play Tennis due to rain. Er..... Don't think that I'll be staying here again..... I thank you!
"Excellent service from all staff."
On arrival we immediately felt safe and secure. Social distancing in place and the staff wore PPE and gave us excellent service. Cleanliness was second to none. The hotel met all the new guidelines. We've been to this hotel many times with friends and I would certainly recommend anyone to stay there. Thank you to everyone who made our stay so relaxed and enjoyable.
"Wonderful staff, spotless hotel, delightful stay."
We have arranged an event in September at the Webbington and wanted to experience all the safety measures in place with regards to Covid-19. Jamie was so helpful, the Manager Roger was so kind and ALL the staff were wonderful and happy to make our four day stay just perfect. We have no worries at all in holding our event in September with 80+ friends. The hotel has completed a Quality in Tourism Safe, Clean & Legal Risk Assessment for Hotels and they passed with flying colours. So much care has been taken to keep safe which in turn made us feel perfectly safe. Well done everyone concerned, The Webbington hotel is the place we call our Somerset home.
"First opening after Lockdown"
The hotel was just opening after lockdown, so a phone call to Jamie the hotel reception manager for some information was made. Jamie assured me the hotel would be up and running with all the Covid 19 safety measures in place. We were allocated room 8 which was fabulous with the most amazing views over Somerset. Social distancing was in place and the staff had PPE. From the moment we checked in all the staff made us feel safe and at ease, the menu was limited but still a good choice, everything was table service but this was fine. All credit to the hotel and staff for making this a memorable stay under difficult conditions. We will certainly be staying again
"Clean, Friendly and Comfortable"
Well, what to say. I don't review much, but I felt some positive feedback is needed for this wonderful period hotel. Myself and partner were unsure to take a leap of faith due to the current pandemic, but rest assured from the Initial booking to the check out, the experience was just lovely. Cleanliness was excellent and the service was even better. How refreshing to break lockdown to be greated with smiling faces.
"Lovely Stay"
We stayed as part of a 60th birthday party last weekend, we had a lovely time, the room and en-suite were very clean and had everything we needed. Special mention to the staff, some of the loveliest and most cheerful people ever, always ready to say hello with a smile, extremely polite and professional, you are all a total credit to the hotel , thank you for helping to making our stay so enjoyable
"Webbington hotel and Spa"
Dirty and run down. Treatments were good but everything else about the day was awful. Dressing gowns that were dirty and didnt fit. Tissue found in pocket. Pool chewing gum on lounger.(have pic) Double booked us (hotels fault) so meant we had to walk through bar area in costumes and dressing gowns where people were sat eating and drinking. Dirty toilets in changing rooms. Could keep going but wont. Would never visit again. Did write a letter of complaint and the response was equally as digusting.
Thank you for your feedback. I must admit I was most surprised to read your comments, as we would normally receive positive feedback regarding the spa treatments, and the professionalism of the dedicated team that serve our welcome guests to the very high standards we insist on. The hotel does have a bar, terrace and restaurant which are available throughout the day for all of our guests to enjoy. Our leisure facilities have a choice of changing rooms available, that are monitored hourly to ensure standards are maintained. We do encourage leisure club guests to make use of the changing rooms before visiting the public areas of the hotel. I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience during your visit and hope we have an opportunity to welcome you back again, so that you can enjoy a positive experience at our hotel and leisure facilities as have many previous guests. Best regards Guest Relations
"Short Break"
A wonderful and welcoming place with friendly staff and excellent facilities. The pool and gym are worth using, they do offer other spa and beauty therapies but I wasn't there for those so cannot comment as I didn't take the opportunity to try them. The food was top notch, both at breakfast and dinner, with a good choice. The room was comfortable with an excellent sized bed and fine bathroom. I will certainly come back there as it is conveniently situated if you want to explore the surrounding countryside and coast.
"Avoid at all costs"
On arrival there were planks of timber in the reception area which we had to climb over with our luggage. The double room was small. There was water pooling on the window sill and there were lots of small flies. The room wasn't dirty but I would say it was grubby. The pool was pleasant but you had to go through the gym to access the sauna and steam room. No robes provided. Give this place a miss.
"Long weekend to relax & unwind"
Service with a smile. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. We were in a courtyard room which was perfect for us. Good sized comfortable bed. We ate in the restaurant for two dinners food was good and very reasonably priced. Spa was well maintained with everything you could have expected.
"Room 16"
Having read the review on the 14th Of Feb, I am wondering if we had the same room! However before leaving this review, I also emailed the hotel manager Mr Munn, who has responded. On arrival our room was cold, although it improved it did remain on the chilly side all evening and the following morning. Our hair dyer was faulty, the bed was lumpy and springs could be felt, more so on one side, one of the bedside lamps wasn't working. The bedroom but more so the bathroom requires a deep clean, especially the bath area. Breakfast was grim, this needs to be investigated, we both struggled with it's quality, the food was cold, sausages reheated, Danish pastries stale Reading the reviews I wondering if this hotel is under going a refurbishment and it's pot luck if you get one of the good rooms?
"HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE"
Worst hotel we have stayed in...viewed pictures before booking and knew that it was an old building but the rooms are a joke.. first we got put in a double standard room of which was roasting hot when we first walked in. The radiators didn't have any dials to turn down so asked the receptionist and that was sorted. We then both had a shower each and the floor in the bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while, hairs up the side tiles of the shower, used the hairdryer and got dusted out from the amount of thick dust that was around the room..my partner then looked on top of the wardrobe and it was real thick dust!!! (Definitely NOT been touched in ages). Visited the swimming pool, sauna and steam room which wasn't very enjoyable either. The changing rooms are disgraceful due to having nowhere to privately get changed (no cubicles), got into the swimming pool and it was freezing cold and the steam room was pretty grimey. My partner made a complaint to the manager about these problems (mainly the room) and we was the moved to a different double room. This room was much better set out but was quite a walk from the reception, heating did not work, when flushing toilet pipes rattled real loud, bed cover had holes in it. The corridors are pretty dark and gloomy that also look like they haven't been cleaned in a while and I noticed that under one of the staircases there was which looked like bedding chucked carelessly up the floor (they were clearly supposed to be fresh bedding as they were rapped in plastic still). The staff were all friendly and pretty organised though and the reception (currently under refurb) is coming along nicely. A lot more effort desperately needs to be put into the rooms though as they were very outdated and the cleanliness is nowhere near what would be expected even for a 3 star hotel, this is no excuse. Things need to be changed and the Webbington hotel & spa website needs editing if changes are not made (cleanliness!!) as was very misleading for us. This was on Valentine's Day and was supposed to be special but was a real mood killer for me and we will definitely NOT be visiting here again! Couldn't wait to leave!!
"Photographers Joy #3"
We enjoyed our recent stay here whilst touring the southwest. This was the third hotel in the Best Western chain that we stayed at and things just keep getting better. After a long day out in the cold we came back to this warm and friendly hotel. Lovely dinner with a great selection of wines.
"Amazing hotel"
Comfortable bed. Great food. Lovely staff, Clean and tidy. Nice facilities. 2nd time iv stayed and cant complain about anything. Will stay again when I need a night away by myself for some relaxation time time.
"Visited Jan 20"
Lovely relaxing hotel friendly staff/ large car park and very comfortable room. The hotel has a restaurant and plenty to eat at Breakfast. Our room was clean and comfortable with tea and coffee facilities hair dryer etc there is a bar and in the summer a terrace to sit out on with a lovely view. The location is lovely I love this hotel and will keep re visiting
"One night stay - event hosted here"
Good service and good food. Room was clean and well stocked with toiletries and tea/coffee. Staff were polite and efficient. Would recommend and would stay here again. Leisure Facilities were very clean and an asset to this hotel.
"Disgusting the site will not allow me to give zero stars"
Not my regular stay when in area but was 'booked in' by my company. Arrived and was allocated my room, it was a wheelchair friendly room, not a problem as desk etc was at a good height for me, not for someone in a wheelchair. Was running late so didn't look in bathroom. Next morning into bathroom it was appalling- it smelled bad, the shower curtain was mouldy [very] and the floor was filthy [not kidding see the pictures]. The sanitary ware was clean [showed the room had been visited]; however lots of the holes in the shower head were blocked [potential health risk]. Also the water was just off tepid. Reported to duty manager - either change or refund. To be fair the room was changed to an acceptable one. Being picky; the remote didn't work [new batteries] and again water was just above tepid, yes I ran it for ages. Next evening opened the room door and the room had not been serviced. Tore into the duty manager and on returning to room saw that the hospitality tray had been serviced but nothing else. Still the water was just off tepid. I chose not to take any meals at the hotel as I felt that if the standards experienced in the hotel were reflected in the kitchen or even just the thought I would not enjoy my food. To sum up; the room was appalling. The staff did resolve the problem but this should not have occurred in a properly managed hotel however many stars it would have. Oh, and I was charged for the disgusting room. OK nobody died resulting in my exceptionally poor experience of this hotel and the rate was only £50. However, in my experience of many hotels in many countries this must rank among the worst - I will try and post photos. My lesson, book my own rooms and I look forward to a comfortable stay at Yew Tree House this week
"Loved this place"
We stayed here around 15 years ago and as we were flying from Bristol decided to stay here again. The hotel is under going a re furbishment at the moment. We had dinner bed and breakfast our room was lovely, quite and had a big bed. The food was very good and the staff excellent Rachel the receptionist who booked us in was outstanding. We will be staying there again.
"Friendly staff"
The staff couldn't be more friendly. The rooms are an little dated but nice and large. Some hotel updating in reception but overall a lovely stay. I feel the hotel is a little on the tired side but looks like it's being worked on.
"Faulty Towers!"
We were expecting old world charm and were sadly disappointed to find our room was not just dated but filthy! Black mould on bathroom ceiling and by the side of my daughters bed. Dust covered cobwebs on the light fittings and walls. Carpet not clean. Breakfast a further disappointment with over cooked eggs and uninterested staff. My Fathers room had not even been cleaned or bed linen changed from the previous occupant! When mentioned to front desk said they would investigate but Alex Gray of Latona Leisure Group could only apologise, offer my father 25% refund (it was his responsibility to inform the front desk (he was allocated his room until just before midnight) that they had not cleaned and left him with pre loved bed linen. As well as 3 complimentary breakfasts (5 of us stayed) upon a return stay (subject of course to availability). Perhaps environmental Health will have better luck in convincing Alex that it is unacceptable.
"Disappointing!!"
A few of us decided to have a couple days away before the stress of Christmas. What a mistake that was... the hotel is very dated, could do with a major refurbishment. The rooms we were in were very dated, mouldy net curtains in the windows. Rooms were very cold had to request an extra heater, found it hard to sleep with 2 heaters on but the room was far to cold without. Springy floorboards under outdated carpet. The rooms themselves were clean and tidy but severely let down by the decor. Our evening meal was atrocious i have had better in a chain pub... Flavourless and overpriced. We decided to eat out the second night as we couldn't face eating the Webbington's food again. The staff in general were very polite. Warm welcome on arrival from the reception staff. Even helped take our luggage to our rooms. The cleaning staff gave us extra towels and condiments when we requested them. Nothing was too much trouble. Requested an ironing board and iron and within minutes a gentleman knocked on the door with one. However we wouldn't return again due to terrible food and the need of a refurbishment, such a shame as the location is beautiful.
"Christmas and New Year Parties"
First visit for work Christmas party early December. Sadly the standard of the food was dreadful. The Queen tribute act was okay, as was the accommodation (though room a bit cold). The best was the breakfast the following morning; good choice, with hot cooked food and plentiful. Second visit we went with friends for a New Year Party (already booked before first visit) and were not staying over. Those that had been to the first visit were hoping the standard of the meal (“7” courses) would be much improved. Once again it was dreadful, such a huge let down. The tables were beautifully decorated and the entertainment good. The best course was cheese as this it would be difficult to ruin. Some of the waiting staff too could be helped with training as several didn't know how to serve properly. One stretched from the end of the table across my partner to give me a dish of sorbet. Most seemed unaware of serving to right or clearing from the left. It's unlikely any of our party would return again due to the food standards. I was left in doubt as to whether or not they have qualified staff.
"Christmas break"
Christmas break at this lovely hotel food service & staff were great. This was a bridge break over the Christmas holiday 4 nights of full board. We had 10 tables of bridge players. With free pre-lunch drinks and the Christmas meal was great cooked by Roger. The staff went out of there way to make our stay special.
"Christmas Party event at the Webbington Hotel and Spa"
Went to the Webbington Hotel and Spa for a Christmas party, Food was superb, service from the staff was excellent, The music by Dr Chocolate was very good, but the DJ was not accommodating with requests played to his own agenda, the music was so loud that the sound was so distorted with vibrations to ears. I asked him if he could go on the dance floor and listen to the distorted sound and just got ignored which was a shame as the rest of the event was excellent. We stayed the night in an executive room which was lovely,clean with a huge bed in big room.
"Reasonable hotel with room for improvements"
Staff were friendly and fairly efficient. My room was very large. All furnishings were somewhat dated and carpets were tatty. The 2 radiators in my room were not working at all and I had to use electric heaters, which is not in keeping with modern environmental thinking. WiFi was fast. The shower was excellent. The hotel is situated on a hillside close to the M5 motorway and the roar from that is loudly audible at the hotel. If you are concerned with a peaceful sleep, ask for a room to the rear courtyard, which I was given. Tea and coffee facilities in the room are good as is the breakfast. In the restaurant I was served a very pleasant meal by a very friendly waiter from Hungary. Overall, the main hotel building is old and could do with a refit / renovation.
"Great all round stay"
Warm welcome at reception Jamie was outstanding in his attitude towards his job. Room was lovely and spa was a welcoming relaxing extra. Staff were polite in all areas and helpful in anyway you asked. Cleaning crew were great again helpful. Many thks for a fantastic 3 nights.we will return
"Mendip views with old-school charm and a spa"
Quiet hotel with all the facilities and parking for big crowds. Rooms fine if a little dated with cornicing and obvious addition of en-suite bathrooms. Staff plentiful and friendly if a little unfocussed. Bar menu limited and OK but not brilliant - sustaining. Swimming pool and sauna and steam room really good but the layout is crazy - with changing rooms by the sauna and a long walk through the gym to reach the pool. Pool a good size and temperature. Steam room excellent. Changing rooms basic.
"2nd visit to the Webington Hotel."
This was our second visit this year and cant wait to go back,Very quiet and peacefull with lovley gardens. The warm swimming pool is fantastic and the breakfast is faultless, bar food at night was reasonable, we were given an upgrade room that was clean and spacious, we explored Cheddar Gorge and went to Cribbs Causeway shopping centre which was only 30 mins up the motorway staff very friendly, thanks to all at Webbington.
"Really lovely stay"
Stayed for one night. Very clean & comfy hotel. Quiet room. Staff were brilliant, very helpful. Had food in the evening which was delicious & well presented. Would certainly recommend & would stay again.
"Very friendly staff, atrocious food"
We visiting for three nights for a wedding and this hotel is mixed bag. On one hand, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Views from the hotel were great and no real complaints around the rooms. The pool and sauna were also good and clean, so no issues there. The main thing that lets the hotel down is that the food is simply atrocious, to the point it's the worst food we've ever had anywhere in all the years of staying in hotels, made worse by the fact the hotel is in the middle of nowhere so we were a captive market! A few examples were: The ‘Webbington' burger was brought over on a bread roll that was so dry and falling to pieces it must have be a week old. The accompanying chips were undercooked and actually hard in the middle. The gammon two of my family had could have been brought back to life by a good vet, it was so undercooked and looked less than appetising, again with the hard chips. There were other examples, but we decided to go for something really easy later on and not risk anything similar to what we'd eaten before... so we went for fish finger sandwiches and a bowl of cheesy chips. Who could mess that up, right? Well, the ‘chef' managed this. The fish finger sandwich was awful and dry, and the cheesy chips felt like they'd been cooked for three seconds. They were practically still frozen. We never risked eating in the restaurant, as if they can't get basic bar food right then What's the point! Saying that, breakfast was good, but as for the rest of the food when you find yourself looking if JustEat or Dominoes deliver you know there's a major issue with the food, to the point of we saw the comedy side of it. We never sent anything back, as what was the point as we knew we had no choice but to eat there again (each time trying something more simple than the last, but to no avail!) Would we return? No, unfortunately not. For all the great work the staff do in representing the hotel, the terrible food we had, combined with the fact the hotel is too remote to walk out anywhere or easily get taxis, would keep us from returning.
"hit and miss"
The hotel function rooms and hotel is outdated and cold in the winter with the bedrooms struggling to keep warm. One guest found crisps in the bed and you can hear snoring from far away. Gym and pool are in good condition although the pool is small and to access the steam room you have to walk through the gym from the pool in your wet cloths. There are however great views and depending on how much you pay, you may pay for what you get and get a good cheap deal. The food is not inspiring, and the lunch menu included a tray of carrot sandwiches, although dinner menu was satisfactory, you will not be inspired to go back. Two good pubs less than 4 mins drive away. Only use if you get a bargin, as this will struggle to make 3 star.
"One night stay"
Beautiful hotel with an interesting history. I spent one night there with family. The room I had was excellent. The swimming pool, steam room and sauna were all of a high standard. The gym was also very well equipped. The restaurant was very good. Staff were very welcoming and helpful.
"The Webbington"
We have stopped at the Webbington on a number of occasions, this particular trip was to celebrate a friends birthday. The overall stay was very good, the food in the restaurant was excellent and the rooms were up to the high standards you would expect. Food prices are very good however i do think the bar can be somewhat overpriced . My only other gripe is that it is November and temperatures have dropped and finding a warm spot in the hotel is hit & miss at times. I will be back soon and will remember to pack a warm fleece.
"a training experience in a nunnery"
a quiet location fitting for spa and toe nail treatments with red wine elixers to charm the cockles of a weakened heart....quiet as in no distractions with ample sized meeting rooms very suitable to the purpose of the training organisers
"Very pleasant staff."
Quite impressive building set in a very isolated position. There were many good things about our visit (some excellent meals, pleasant staff, a very large bed, etc.), and some not so good, details as follows: It appears that some people did not receive proper service to their rooms -- only replenishment of towels and tea/coffee. Hopefully an oversight....? There was a problem with regard to the time it took to serve evening meals, probably due to the number of guests. It seemed unnecessary to wait until the whole restaurant had finished each course before starting to clear the empty plates! There are plenty of steps in the annexe, so mobility can become an issue. You cannot obtain a newspaper here. The nearest place to obtain one is in a garage some distance away. Although we did not take advantage of the facilities, the pool, spa etc. looked first class. , so mobility
"Wedding venue"
We originally booked the Webbington Hotel for our wedding reception (12/10) because it was one of the only wheelchair-friendly venues within driving distance of the church where we married. However it turned out to be so much more than a convenience, and was a beautiful venue with incredibly hard working staff! Charley Hardcastle is the wedding co-ordinator and nothing is too much trouble for her. We sent endless emails with never ending questions and queries, and she always made sure to reply promptly and find out answers if she didn't already know. The invoicing and money side of things was also very fast and efficient, so we always knew where we were as things were updating quickly. We had 60 guests, and a handful more in the evening, but could have comfortably had more in this venue. It's full of history, and is a very old beautiful building. Compared to other venues we looked at, the prices at the Webbington were so reasonable but it never once felt like we'd chosen the cheaper option. I know they host dozens of weddings every years, but I always felt like the queen of Sheba! The food choices were excellent, all of our guests were very complimentary on speed of service and the high quality food. We made a few adjustments to some of the food on offer, but the chef was happy to cater for our requests. The rooms were lovely, especially the one my bridesmaids and I stayed in the night before - it felt like our own little apartment. All in all, I would definitely recommend checking the Webbington out if you are considering a Somerset wedding.
"Outdated"
Mold in room, drinks and food over priced given state of hotel. Tape stuck in shower. Given double bed and single bed although booking for family of 4. Not all staff can answer questions. A few gem staff. No charging for EVs
"Nice location but old rooms"
Went there for a couple of days looking to have a bit of a break. Location was nice, in the middle of fields. However, rooms were quite small and the TV was located in an odd corner of the room making it difficult to use. Requested a room change which the staff was happy to help with. Ended up moving to a slightly bigger room with an accessible TV. However, the room had a pungent odor of fresh paint in addition to being very dusty. There was dust all over the furniture which triggered my allergies. Also, room was very cold upon arrival and the only heating option was the central heating that only comes on at around 7pm. On the second night we decided to ask for a heater as it was quite cold. Once again, staff was happy to help. Overall, not a cozy place to stay. The views are certainly nice but old cold dusty rooms made the stay overall unpleasant.
"Lovely hotels and views"
We arrived before the 3pm check in, no one at reception desk, a sign on desk with instructions to call 0 if desk unattended, we did this and were told that we were to early to check in “check in at 3” the person then put the phone down!.. any way we got a drink from the bar and checked it at 3. Our room was amazing !! The hot water was not working but after a call to reception this was sorted, we had a excellent evening meal and breakfast, and all the other staff that we met we very helpful and friendly which made for a lovely atmosphere in the hotel,
"Terrible"
Checked in and we were given a room at the back of the hotel, despite not seeming busy, and we had the constant noise of the motorway. The hotel in general seems tired. I went to the bar before dinner in an attempt to get a martini. They had all the ingredients, but the so called bartender had no clue how to make it. When we went for dinner, the steak was rare and good and the duck was OK. The vegetables were overcooked to the point of being much and the sauce with the duck had no taste. The wait staff were poorly trained to the point that another couple after attempting to get service for some time, walked out. The only reason to stay here is because there is nothing else in the vicinity.
"Coach holiday"
Hotel a little tired but clean and comfortable. Meals generally good, sometimes better than others. Lovely swimming pool (I didn't try the rest of spa/gym but they looked good). Overall staff courteous and very happy to help.
"Excellent Value "
Location and views are fantastic shame the M5 was built but then again we all use it lol Reception was very friendly, Some areas look tired and could do with a refurb the windows need cleaning in the bedrooms - my room was great lovely views (superior room) but net curtains why? And windows need cleaning - Lovely clean bathroom - bar area is very nice and the tuna steak was very good for the price . Pool was big and great views was a little cloudy - changing rooms good however the showers are rubbish hardly any power but I guess this is why it's only 3 stars but having stayed in many hotels this is one I would defiantly use again .
"Don't believe Tomtom!"
Good once you get there, but Tomtom takes you to within 700 yds and then directs you down a single track road away from the hotel. Arrive via the A38 and the village of Cross, OR if you come via Loxton ignore Tomtom's direction to turn left when you see the hotel ahead of you. PLEASE management put a better sign at the road junction from Loxton - there is one, but I wasn't looking behind me as I was drivng forwards! Once we arrived the staff were friendly and helpful and we had a good stay. Food was all we had expected, and although there were 2 weddings during our stay it wasn't too noisy.
"Great Location and service"
We booked in to the Webbington Hotel for the night as we wanted to break up our journey to Cornwall, and I'm so pleased we did. The hotel is a bit off the beaten track, but it has loads of character, serves good food and drinks and the staff are friendly and helpful, and all appeared to be enjoying their jobs. The pool and gym facilities are ideal if you want a quick work out before dinner, and are well organised. The only downside is, that like most country house type hotels, the rooms are a little bit all over the place, with a bit of upstairs, around corners, downstairs etc, but it all adds to the charm
"Great value great spa facilities "
Couldn't give this place 5 stars for 2 reasons. 1: the total lack of view! We faced a weedy embankment and couldn't even see the sky! 2: the room 106 was next to the housekeeping room so from 8am for 22 minutes we had to listen to the housekeepers gossiping about their weekend! Good job we needed to get up.... Reception were amazing! My OH overpaid and the gentleman came to our room to refund! We asked for an iron and board which arrived minutes later and as a packing oversight resulted in no wash bag, he provided us with complimentary toothbrushes and toothpaste. Can't fault the service. Actual views from public areas were stunning! We'd like to visit in summer (we'd upgrade though) . Pool, steam room, sauna all lovely and the gym equipment is comprehensive! We didn't eat here as we were meeting friends in the nearby Wellington Arms - best fillet steak ever! Also probably the most reasonably priced at £13.50! We used the bar which was about average price for a BW. The service was way above average. In conclusion- great value for money but worth paying for a better room.
"Beautiful location, very comfortable"
Although tucked away on a hillside, plenty of parking, spectacular views, the food (wedding) was outstanding. Breakfast next morning was chaotic and disappointing as the hot dishes came out in 5 minute intervals due to numbers in breakfast (beans, 5 mins wait, sausages etc). BUT superb room (main house), plenty of comforts in room and very relaxing. Overall, an excellent stay and excellent place to stay (though hopefully breakfast was a hiccup)
"Friendly and comfortable"
Needed a late booking and got a lovely big room for just £49. It was a bit of a walk to the top of the building but very comfortable once there. Lovely quiet area and friendly helpful staff. This is a little gem off the beaten track and worth considering.
"Pennington best western hotel"
This is rated as 3 star which it is definately not. It is at least 4 star. The facilities including a decent size swimming pool. Excellent value for money.Only complaint is we did not stay long enough
"A hidden gem"
Found this through the BW website and it had some differing reviews. Whilest it's obvious the place is having some upgrades done the overall experience including the restaurant was fantastic value for money. Would definatley return.
"There is a difference between classic look and dated..."
I will start by saying this hotel served its purpose to a degree, it was a bed for the night as we passed by to Devon, all 3 party members stayed in Superior Rooms, however... This is NOT a spa, which is one of the reasons we choose this place over another just before Bristol. The basic facts are as follows... -The pool was cold and cloudy, cones covering holes in the floor and a strange smell in the air. -To get to the sauna and steam room you have to pass from the pool, through reception, the first part of the gym, another corridor and then another part of the gym, this is all carpeted. When you do get there the rooms are not even on the same corridor. -The sauna was dirty and very old, the steam room looks like its been re-tiled in the last 5 years or so but was luke-warm at best and when the steam does come out it burns everyones legs. -The gym itself is very 90's, tape on the equipment and looking very tatty in general. -The whole place seemed dark, dingy and damp. Overall, we had intended to spend an hour or so in in the pool and spa after an afternoon out and ended up spending 10 very disappointing minutes. The rest of the hotel is ok, my bedroom was clean and tidy however another member of my party had a dirty bed, fortunately they changed it as soon as we complained to the front desk. The bed was a little hard but again served its purpose and the bathroom was clean and had a good shower. The drinks in the bar in the evening were (typically hotel) expensive and the service at the bar was lacking despite a steady stream of customers. The highlight for our stay really was the views and breakfast, plenty of food available and very tasty, a great start to our day while we finished our journey off in a nice wood panelled dining room. Would I stay again? Not out of choice!
"Delightful as ever"
Have stayed here several times for business and family stop-overs. We have never been disappointed - OK its been around for a while and it isn't some state of the art glass and chrome gin palace - its a great, down to earth, real hotel with lovely staff, affordable prices, pleasant and spacious rooms and amazing views. Visited twice in August 2019 and delighted on both occasions.
"Tired and dated"
We were staying here for a one night stop over en route to Devon. Although the venue is in a beautiful location the whole place is incredibly tired. As we arrived at the desk the member of staff chose to answer the phone rather than welcome us who were there in person. Told the children only had half hour left for swim that day so they couldntuse facility. Later realised the pool was open through summer holidays longer. Stairs everywhere. Our room was stale smelling dark and old fashioned, and walls paper thin heard everyone ALL night long coming and going and the 5.30am wake up call from our neighbours door was not well received. We had to split family up in half in 2 separate rooms but hotel couldn't accommodate us next to one another despite booking 5 months in advance. Bar was manned by 1 man so took 25 mins to serve us 4 drinks and order some fries. Wedding party starting to dominate the venue so dense queues of people ordering their bar food we then proceeded to wait a further half hour for a bowl of chips. We decided at that point to just crash our heads and avoid breakfast. We didn't even shower there as bathroom didn't feel fresh. The hot chocolate was nice in the room but truthfully that was it. Disappointing for such a beautiful venue. Needs and overhall. Best part was the ladies loos off the bar area. We observed a lady n a wheelchair trying to be transported around impossible stairs everywhere. One other important note absolutely no welcome or thanks.
"Nephews Wedding"
Attended my nephews wedding August 2019, the weather was beautiful so the wedding took place outside. We had to drive my mothers partner who was in a wheel chair from the hotel to the outside area where the ceremony took place, there was absolutely no way that we could push the wheel chair over the totally uneven, pot holed road in a safe manner. The hotel had disabled toilets with grab handles but there wasn't a raised toilet seat, making it impossible to attend unaccompanied. The room was a ground floor assisted room, but again the bathroom facilities required accompanied visits to assist in getting on and off the toilet seat. The narrow entrance to room 20 had a raised lip, making it difficult to get the wheel chair over and then try and turn a sharp right into the room. This hotel needs to invest in better facilities for the elderly and disabled, especially as it is promoted as a wedding venue which usually includes family members of all ages and mobility. The outside area where the ceremony was held was really pretty, but the bride had to walk on grass in her heels, whilst trying to hold up her dress. A carpet (red) would be a nice touch to assist the bride walking to meet her husband to be. A PA system would be of good use for the outside ceremony, i was sat in the third row from the front and could hardly hear the ceremony take place. You could hear the road noise from the M5 in the background. Family members sat in the back row couldn't hear a thing. The reception was very lovely and the food good and as it was such a lovely evening most of the guests sat outside. The outside lighting could be a lot better, perhaps candles\\lights on the outside tables. The steps leading down to the car park were not illuminated and guests leaving had to use the torch light on their mobile phones to light the way. We did have a lovely day but some of the above needs to be addressed, thank you.
"Very pleasant stay in the heart of the Mendip Hills"
Quite a range of reviews here, but we can only say how we found our 2-night stay... and that was overall just right for the price. It included a lovely afternoon tea on our arrival (very welcome after long delays on the M5!), and a pleasant evening meal, plus 2 very full and enjoyable English breakfasts. We can see why the location and views make it very popular for wedding receptions, but for us it was the fact that we wanted to explore the local area, including a lovely bracing walk up Crook Peak (the hill overlooking the hotel) on our first morning. Parking was plentiful and easy, even with up to 2 weddings a day). The local views are stunning, and there is a well-positioned balcony near the bar to sit outside watching the setting sun. A short drive (about 6 miles) away is Cheddar, where there is also a fantastic if a little challenging (at times) panoramic "walk" up around and back down the famous Gorge... Our room was spacious, clean and well provided with electrical points, although we did keep the window closed at night to silence the sounds of the M5 and nighttime wedding parties. We found the hotel staff to be polite, welcoming and friendly throughout our stay, and while some aspects of the hotel (e.g. the decor in some areas) were rather tired and dated, and cleanliness a bit variable at times, it appears that refurbishment is ongoing, which can only improve things. We would happily visit and stay here again, and would recommend it to others.
"Mixed feelings "
Hotel & spa sounds fantastic & the hotels own photos show a spectacular establishment. However although the outside is lovely & the reception area is well lit and looks immaculate & modern along with the spa , bar & garden area when you go into the older part of the building where the rooms are it is very dark ,drab & not particularly clean . Our room had mould In the bathroom on the tiles & the ceiling & the area around the bottom of the toilet looked like it hadn't been cleaned in ages & smelt very musty in there .There was a big stain on the carpet outside the bathroom that was still wet which was not pleasant on my bare feet . The room was dark & very old fashioned the bedside lamps didn't even match & the bottom of the bed was threadbare . On a plus side the breakfast was very good it was buffet style so you could have as much as you wanted & had a really good selection of good quality food what a shame the room was so bad . If some money was injected into modernising the bedrooms even with a lick of paint & a better standard of cleaning then it could be a good place to stay but I must say I've stayed in immaculate accommodation for a lot less than I paid here & with the standards there I wouldn't recommend it to anyone & will not be going back Such a shame !
"Lovely location, attention to customers needs to improve"
· Location very nice, good views and settings, ideal base for days out. Food and drinks service was good and the outside balcony area was large and well laid out. · Too many weddings taken on a weekend and rooms not assigned well if not part of this. Room assigned with my 7 year old daughter was overlooking the main courtyard and very close to the main hall for the Wedding Receptions, loud music until very late and as everyone left they all had to pass under our windows shouting and singing at midnight and later so 2 nights of broken sleep. Did speak to someone on Departure that said could have been better organised as should be put the far end of the building where no one had to walk past and away from the main hall so no loud thumping music till late, took this on board along with my email address so could come back to me with some feedback and potential refund of some kind to compensate for the inconvenience but after 4 days nothing so leaving this negative feedback as is a shame as the location itself is very nice and staff friendly enough but maybe should have read some of the other negative reviews as seems lot of other people have also been unhappy with this.
"A mixed bag!"
I completed the customer survey with the positives and negatives of our stay. Nearly all the points I made are included in previous reviews here so hopefully are being addressed. Some will cost money and take some time, so a case of watch this space I guess to see the level of commitment from the owners to make improvements where necessary. The location is fantastic (apart from being close to the noise of the M5 which is difficult to fix!!), and the staff were generally kind and professional in trying circumstances (2 weddings on the day we arrived!). The one area for improvement that I haven't seen when scrolling through the reviews is the restaurant offering to vegetarian or vegan guests. It was pretty poor, with only one choice of main course which was bland and had no substantial protein content (a very basic pithiver filled with chopped vegetables). There are so many great vegetarian/vegan recipes out there these days so I was surprised at the lack of thought and creativity, and expected better.
"Wedding vacation"
Stayed for wedding. Staff friendly and very helpful. Rooms clean with excellent facilities. Had fantastic massage from a wonderful lady. Thoroughly recommend. Good out of this world. Great choice of food
"Not worth the money"
I stayed here for a wedding and don't get me wrong the wedding service was lovely and the staff friendly however our room had a lot bugs on the ceiling and it could do with an update as it is quite old fashioned
"Very good but can easily be 5*"
Positives: Pool was nice, the right temperature. Food in the restaurant was tasty and service was good. Room we stayed in (room 9) was roomy, clean and very large bed (two single beds together making a larger than king size bed). Large shower head and walk-in shower. Bed was medium firm and so were pillows, we slept well. Plenty of parking. Breakfast was good quality. Price for stay and value of price paid very good. Reception staff friendly and approachable. TV in room could input HDMI so we could bring our DVD player and watch a film (I checked first it was ok). Negatives: Bedroom - some of the lights didn't work. Mattress has no mattress protector. Sheets covering mattress were not large enough to go to top of bed and exposed under the pillows. Sheets had some blue marks probably from biro marks. Windows opened but were vulnerable to a burglar as they were either open or closed without ability to lock them half way, windows are large enough for someone to get onto roof or over gate from nearby room and get into room 9. Also there were masonary parts in the wardrobe hidden under the spare pillow - why? Dinner - enquired at time of booking what "dinner included" meant as sometimes you get an allocation, sometimes you choose from the menu what you want. I was told 3 course from the A La Carte menu and was emailed the menu in advance. When were at the table the waitress said the chef said only £19.95 per person was allowance. For one thing it is not up to the cook, the chef, to state what a customer has paid for (that is for Reception to do), secondly that wasn't what we were told. I argued the point and got 3 course for us, but only offered 1/2 of the menu options for this. Place was presented quite well however parts of the hotel are tired, for example the carpets, although just a point in passing to make. We will stay again, this is our second time there over the years. It is a good hotel, with a few improvements it could be a great hotel, hence comments.
"In need of refurbishment but excellent restaurant"
The outside of the hotel looks promising but the interior is very much in need of refurbishment and modernising, apart from the restaurant. Our room was very gloomy, not helped by the very dark woodwork (doors and wardrobe) but everything was spotlessly clean. The lighting in our room was very poor and we found it difficult to read. However, our evening meal in the restaurant was excellent - cooked to perfection, served on hot plates and very tasty. The breakfast was also very good although we were disappointed to find that there were no croissants or pastries, even though we arrived by 8.45 a.m. which was 45 minutes before the end of breakfast.
"Had an overnight stay whilst been touring cornwall"
Hotel in lovely location, but in need of a revamp. Bedrooms very small and the hotel was run down. Staff not very pleasant. Had to pay for breakfast as it was not in the price. Plenty of stairs but no lift. Do'nt think we would stay there again.
"Bad value and dangerous"
On arrival the manager was rude no manners, the pool stunk of damp and tiles/drain guards missing gran daughter hurt herself. Put me up beds where rubbish and when your paying £220 sooo not worth it and you'll get a better breakfast in the pub down the road
"Worst hotel ever!"
Worst hotel ever. We emailed hotel a week before as I have a severe dust allergy and they said the room will be clean. Well it was the dirtiest room ever with someone's dirty boxer shorts left in wardrobe, thick dust left on tv, curtain pole and lamps and a bad smell. My eyes streamed as soon as I entered room. There's no lift. No automatic doors and some are tight to get through with luggage and floor creaks badly. If this is what best western has to offer then never again. I stay in hotels all the time for business and they have lost mine!
"Mrs"
Hotel was clean and tidy the only disappointment was the evening meal we had in hotel it was expensive for a disappointing meal that was quite tasteless and overcooked. Area great location close at hand for things to do.
"Weekend away"
We have stayed here before, in the same room, lovely hotel, excellent views, beautiful, clean room, staff very friendly and helpful, breakfast was buffet style, with good food and plenty of choice. Room service was very prompt and food was excellent.
"Terrible, nothing like the photos!"
AVOID. Nothing at all positive to say about this hotel. Its Not as advertised, we were put in a dull, dated old room. The Food was awful. a very depressing hotel with an awful atmosphere. This hotel is Waste of peoples money!!
"Lovely trip to Somerset."
Staff were excellent, so helpful. The breakfast was fantastic with lots of choice. Great value for money. Some parts of the hotel could do with a bit of TLC but for the price we paid, we couldn't complain.
"Great hotel"
The views were amazing from the balcony. A little shame that the hotel was located near M5 but still out had great views. I wish there was a jacuzzi. They gym was good so was the pool and steam/ sauna.
"Overnight"
We decided to have day in Weston-super-Mare with friend's and after thinking about it we thought it would be nice to stay overnight. We decided on the Webbington Manor hotel, five miles from the coast in lovely setting overlooking the valley, the hotel was nice but the rooms needed a little TLC, the staff were all very helpful and the food ( evening meal and breakfast) was very good
"Drabness abounds"
Visited in a party and was not impressed. The exterior is lovely, but once you get inside, drabness abounds. From the drab Reception area, we went down drab corridors and through a drab dance hall to get to the dining room, wondering what we were coming to. The room wasn't too bad and the tables were nicely laid out, but the food was awful. I have never had such a nasty Caesar salad - instead of nice crisp lettuce, just a few limp leaves of some kind, topped with hard, dry chicken, no croutons or Parmesan, and a dollop of bottled sauce. The ‘roast turkey' was a couple of slices in a gravy, and the sticky toffee pudding was a square of sponge in thin custard. A truly depressing experience and the 'chef' should be ashamed. We have no intention of going there again.
"Fabulous wedding weekend"
Made our friends wedding day absolutely perfect. Well done. Highly recommend. The attention to detail and care your staff took was amazing. They were quietly in the background ensuring the day ran without a hitch and nothing was too much trouble.
"Nice location but in need of improvement "
Stayed here for two nights for a short break in the area. Primarily booked as the price was very reasonable. The location is fantastic with great views overlooking the area and was a pleasure to sit outside with a drink and watch the sunset. Well positioned for nearby attractions Cheddar, Wells, Glastonbury, Clark's outlet at Street as well as nearby beaches of Weston, Bream and Burnham-on-Sea. Staff were polite and accommodating, bar meal we had was excellent and prompt service despite being busy with a wedding, bar was reasonably priced for hotel, always plenty of parking at hotel even with large functions going on. Rooms were a nice size. Did not use leisure facilities and did not have breakfast so can't comment on these. The not so good, parts of the hotel are looking a little rough around the edges, this includes the rooms, but this is not a major issue when considering the price point for this hotel. However cleaning is, we found toe nail clippings on the floor by the side of the bed and some communal areas looked as if they hadn't been cleaned in months, one window sill we passed walking up to the room overlooking the courtyard was thick with dust had cobwebs all over them and about 20 dead flies, if I seen them so did every other guest and staff passing, not great advertisement for the hotel, you start to wonder what's going on behind the scenes. I am not over fastidious with cleaning, a cobweb here and there is not the end of the world, but this is basic house keeping, do the hotel not use cleaning schedules. Hotel is close to M5 and although I am a heavy sleeper I was aware of road noise. You will also need to use your car if you want to get out at night due to hotels rural location. In conclusion not a bad hotel especially at this price point, good food nice bar area lovely outside seating, hotel does look a bit worn in parts, but really let down by poor cleaning regimes and there is no excuse for this.
"In need of an upgrade!"
My partner and I stayed in one of the Courtyard Rooms here for one night whilst holidaying in the area. This was advertised as a luxury hotel but sadly, it ended up being lacklustre and disappointing. Our room was dull and dingy, with faded, outdated decor and rudimentary facilities. The bathroom needed a good clean and was also very basic. The walls between rooms are extremely thin and we could hear every word of the conversation the people in the room next door were having - plus very loud rattling and banging on their door when they had trouble getting into their room! We decided to check out the pool and spa facilities (which were not exactly easy to find). To give credit where it's due, we had no problems with the swimming pool or pool area, but to access the sauna and steam room, you have to walk through the gym area. Walking past people exercising while you're dripping wet, barefoot, and wrapped in a towel is a bit awkward and frankly a very strange layout for the spa facilities. Another plus point is that there was plenty of parking available at the hotel and the views down over the valley were very nice. However, sadly the negatives outweighed the positives for us and I don't think we will be back again.
"Very pleasant stay"
We recently stayed at the Webbington Hotel & Spa for one night to break our long journey from the north to Cornwall. The hotel is well placed for places like Cheddar Gorge & caves, Wookey Hole cave with easy access to/from the M5 motorway. The building has an interesting history, originally a private residence then later a night-life venue with many well known stars of years gone by. Although some may feel parts of the hotel are looking a little tired , we thought it all rather charming and characterful, even down to the creaky door in the corridor ( perhaps not one to use in the middle of the night) The bedrooms were perfectly acceptable as were the bathrooms. Staff very pleasant, helpful and friendly. Although we wetn out for dinner, we did have breakfast at the hotel and it was very well presented and delicious. For the price we found the Webbington good value and an enjoyable stay. We would be happy to visit again should we be in the area.
"The way to relax"
We have visited the Webbington many times and once again the hotel offers us the total relaxation we need. The executive room is beautiful, is cleaned expertly, the bed comfortable and offers everything we need.The staff are great and the food is excellent. Cannot wait to return on October. Thank you to everyone at the Webbington.
"perfect stay"
We stayed here for 3 nights and it was by far the best all round hotel we have ever stayed in,we were greeted very warmly by a lady on reception who showed us to a place we can rest after our journey into it was time to check in.We were later shown to our room which was spacious,very clean with an amazing view and full of great information on everything we would need to know.We ate at the bar restaurant, again the staff were very friendly and the food was great value for money and so delicious we decided to eat there every night.The leisure facilities were outstanding the pool,gym ,sauna and steam room all free to use for guests.Every member of staffs customer service we encountered was outstanding we cant praise this hotel enough,thank you everyone we will be back

"Couple"
First time staying at a best western hotel. And I have to say it was the best hotel experience in ages. My wife also loved the 2 night stay we had. The food was great and leisure facilities excellent. Can't praise the staff enough.

"Tired"
Before anything else, can I say, the staff, waiters and the food were all excellent. We were in the annexe rooms which wasn't a problem for us, but there were some elderly people who found it a struggle up and down the steps to the floors, there are no lifts so would not be suitable for wheelchair users. It is in a good position for the Cheddar gorge, Bath and Bristol, saying that, it is quite remote so you are limited to the hotel on an evening and drink prices (like most hotels) are quite steep. The rooms are starting to look a bit tired and could do with a lick of paint, there was a lot of dust under heating pipes and behind radiators and plenty of cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling. This is just basic housekeeping and could be easily remedied, the carpets on the other hand need either replacing or a really good shampoo clean. The bathroom was adequate but once again starting to look neglected, mildew under the shower screen seal and in the grout around the bath, and the towels(which were changed regularly) have a strange mayonnaise/vinegar smell about them which was also commented on by other guests. I suppose the price reflects the rooms and the location, being a bit off the beaten track, the redeeming feature of this hotel is it's food which was absolutely superb, always hot and the waiters and bar staff are very professional and helpful.
Dear Minesaguinness Thank you for your constructive comments and review. Your feedback is truly appreciated and will be used to ensure we continue to maintain and improve the standards we set ourselves, so that all of our guests can enjoy their overall stay with us. I will be sure to share your comments with the management so that they are able to indemnify any areas that need attention and rectify as quickly as possible.

"Comme ci comme ca"
At the last minute we decided to book 2 nights here. We had breakfast for 2 morning which we pre-booked. We later also decided to have dinner here on the first night as we arrived late. It was really good so we decided to have dinner again on the second night. It was a pleasant stay. Nothing amazing but I could imagine it was amazing once given its history. We didn't use any of the facilities. We were there when there was a wedding party but they were relatively quiet and we had 2 peaceful nights. It is a tired looking hotel. We were informed it will be refurbished soon. And I'm sure it will be great again. It makes the most of its virtue. Which is the view. It's quite pretty. Our room was spacious and had a nice view. See pics. Another plus is the staff. The waitress and waiters were really good and friendly and professional and attentive. The only staff member who let them down was the woman at the bar on the 2nd afternoon we were there. She was lacklustre. No eye contact. No follow up. No customer service. She was tired just like the hotel. She didn't want want to be there... I would say give it a go. It's cheap because of what it is. But when it's refurbished prices will definitely increase and justifiably so. It's a great base for Cheddar, Wells and even Glastonbury.
"Wheelchair User"
As always when we use a new hotel, there is nervousness about whether we can manage. There was some uncertainty over where the disabled entrance was but, having got in and found reception, all went well. We have to use a stander (Return type) in the bathroom so it was a great relief to find there was adequate space to use it. You can always use more space in our situation but no complaints. Restaurant very accommodating and food very good. We were very happy with hotel and room but should add that I manage my wife's wheelchair well. Not sure a wheelchair user on their own would manage.
"Drab"
Visited in a party and was not impressed. The exterior is lovely, but once you get inside, drabness abounds. From the drab Reception area, we went down drab corridors and through a drab dance hall to get to the dining room, wondering what we were coming to. The room wasn't too bad and the tables were nicely laid out, but the food was awful. I have never had such a nasty Caesar salad - hardly any lettuce, just a few limp leaves, hard, dry chicken, no croutons and a dollop of bottled sauce. The ‘roast turkey' was a couple of slices of something in a gravy, and the sticky toffee pudding was just a square of sponge in a thin custard. A truly depressing experience and the chef should be ashamed. We have no intention of going there again.
"A real dichotomy "
I stayed here on business. Arrived and as usual had suitcase and large briefcase. Lots of parking which was great. Stairs up to reception- difficult to get in due to doors and railings and luggage. There was no-one on reception to welcome me but someone did arrive in a few minutes. My room was in the courtyard - so down corridor via steps, through door up steps down steps, across yard in door and up four flights. Not easy with two bags. Room was actually good although lighting was too poor for working. Went to bar for a drink but no staff for about 10 mins and was a very poor glass of Sauvignon for £7. Ate in the restaurant and although I went for the fixed price menu it was very poor value for money - garlic mushrooms - a watery sauce with slimy halved mushrooms in a ramekin with chopped browning iceberg on the side then turkey fricasse. A pale beige watery sauce with some veg and chunks of turkey mixed in. Very disappointing. Service is very formal which doesn't match food quality- a friendly approach would be better. Had a nice omelette for breakfast which was better. The setting and views are stunning but the formal approach and the slightly down at heel reception areas and poor food quality make for a very odd mix
"Off the beaten track"
Nice hotel a little off the beaten track but worth the effort of finding it. The rooms are good, the spa and pool are clean and comfortable to use, the bar and public areas are good, the bar food menus is good and the food is hot and well served. Breakfast is a well stocked buffet and the staff were helpful and efficient. All in all a very acceptable stay.
"Birthday Treat"
Fantastic hotel....rooms comfortable. We used the spa facilities and had treatments, really recommend pamper packages, the full body massage was fantastic. The swimming pool is lovely and warm with amazing views. Can not fault anything from check to check out! Thank you.
"Glorious views"
this hotel feeds your soul with beauty and tranquility, not to mention swimming in a heated indoor pool, with a view.... fabulous indoor/outdoor terrace for an informal lunch/supper, with a magnificent view... the splendour fills you up and makes you feel whole again.
"Great Surroundings"
Lets start with the "negative"....in 5 nights at a BW Hotel, I have yet to stay inside the actual Hotel-always get an annexe room...in my case, whilst on the 2nd floor, it does have good views and internet isn't a problem. The view from the terrace bar is rather good too. Breakfast-eat as much as you want, really good value, good choice of options, I would resist ordering "poached eggs", theyre not that great. Staff - well these "non brits" are there to show the UK born folk how customer care should be done. Given previous experience in Lowestoft with totally UK staff (and how poor they were) this team know how to look after you and nothing is too much trouble. Should be commended. Pity about not getting into the actual hotel, but other than that, a most worth while visit
Dear david221b Thank you for your review. I was very pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay and that you found the hotel, facilities and our dedicated team helped enhance the overall experience of our Edwardian period property.

"A Golden anniversary break , excelent"
My wife and I last visited this excellent hotel in May 2015 while celebrating our 46th anniversary and this year chose it for our Golden Anniversary, Once again we were lucky to obtain a room in the main hotel, (room 3) the room was clean and comfortable, we had booked 4 night Bed & Breakfast stay (direct with the hotel) but the Evening Menu looked so good we decided to try Sundays offering Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding and it was excellent, then on Monday we had roast leg of lamb, for Tuesday we had roast Gammon and finally Wednesday My wife had roast turkey and I had poached salmon all came with a selection of seasonal vegetables, the menu priced 2 courses for £19:95 and was definitely good value for money, also it saved having to drive at night and as nominated driver i could actually enjoy a drink and not drive.At the bar was a bar-snack menu and a well stock bar, breakfast each morning was buffet style and eat as much as you like, offering continental , full English, or both, also fresh fruits and yogurts, although the toaster took some learning I never burnt the toast. thanks to the room servicing team which we never actually saw, but they serviced the rooms immaculately, the Barman I think he was called Jobo and the breakfast and evening meal teams Otto and Bruno. From reception team,room team bar and waiters they made our anniversary a short break to remember and of course views from the roof patio in the evening were fantastic. Thank you all.
Dear Robert H Thank you for taking the time to share you review and for choosing our hotel to celebrate the wonderful occasion of your Golden Anniversary. I was delighted to read that the staff and management could help make your special occasion that little more memorable. I will be sure to pass on your kind words to everyone her at the hotel, and I know they will be pleased to learn that they could help make your stay so enjoyable. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel, we do hope we have an opportunity to welcome you back again soon, and don't forget to book direct on the hotel website for the best available rates and offers.

"Great value and views"
Our review is based on a two night weekend stay for two people in room 18 costing £80 a night which included breakfast. Good size comfortable bedroom in the attic / eaves of the original building with a decent size bathroom, Lots of steps and doors to negotiate getting there though which could cause an issue for anyone with mobility problems but the view from the small bedroom window is incredible and well worth the steps. With an elevated position on the southern slopes of the Mendip Hills the views really are indeed amazing. However, this enchanting 17th century Edwardian Manor House which has retained some of it's original features is a little tired looking in places. This should not distract you though as it is in keeping with the original building and adds to the character. Staff are attentive and polite and the food is good with a choice of restaurant style or bar food available depending on your mood at the time, usual hotel prices. The buffet style breakfast is also very good although could have been a little hotter. With the spa facilities and car parking included in the price we consider that we had a very good deal indeed and will certainly return in the future. Only gripe being the hog roast which in any way shape or form congers up an image of a pig spit roasting all day. Not a few joints of pork carved and offered in heated serving dishes ? Come on Best Western, REALLY ! drop it or do it properly.
Dear OrsankartNottingham Thank you for taking some time to share your review. I was very pleased to read that you enjoyed our Edwardian period property, and I have to agree, the views can be breath taking. I will be sure to share your kind words with the entire team at the hotel and I know they will be pleased to read your comments and constructive feedback. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel, we do hope we have an opportunity to welcome you back again soon, and don't forget to book direct on the hotel website for the best available rates and offers.

"amazing, characteristic, and friendly"
Hotel was in a lovely location with beautiful views! We had room 10 with a balcony and wow was so lovely; reception room with bedroom and bathroom through doors going off the reception room. Large bathroom with shower facilities. reception staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly even for the little things such as milk/more mugs & room service. Rooms slightly dated BUT the hotel is characteristic so the rooms match the whole building such as beams/decoration and so on. spa facilities are far from brilliant but did the job :-)
Dear Curious13613163177 Thank you for your review. Your feedback is truly welcome, I will be sure to share with the management and staff at the hotel and I know they will be as pleased as I was to read your comments.

"Ramblers walking holiday"
I booked the Webbington Hotel for our groups annual rambling holiday had a brilliant time food was excellent, staff very friendly perfect location for walkers at the base of the Mendip Hills, would recommend
Dear Christine R Thank you very much for your review and sharing your feedback. We are indeed very lucky to be situated in such a wonderful area of outstanding natural beauty, which is very popular with walkers and cyclists. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel for your Rambling Break, we do hope we have an opportunity to welcome you back again soon. Kindest regards Guest Relations
"No hot water"
I stayed at Webbington last night. When I checked in I was told they'd had a gas problem so some of the items on the menu were unavailable. Stuff happens; I'm ok with that. However when I went to shower this morning there was no hot water. Not even tepid. I had to wash at the basin in very cold water. When I checked out they made it known that they knew about this problem but they "thought it had been resolved". I got an apology but no offer of money back for my inconvenience when I was promptly presented with my restaurant and bar bill. I'm staying in another of Best Western's hotels tonight in Bath. I trust this one will have hot water!
Dear markhendy Thank you for your review and please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience suffered due to the gas supply, which was beyond our control and did unfortunately adversely affect some dining options and the hot water. I can confirm that this was rectified as quickly as possible. I would like to assure you, that should you choose our hotel again you will receive the standards and service that we pride ourselves on. Should you require accommodation in the area again please contact the hotel directly and we will be only too pleased to assure you of an enjoyable and trouble free stay. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa, we do hope to see you again soon. Kind regards Guest Relations Manager
"No hot water and no compensation"
Staff seemed friendly enough, however did not give any discount or compensation when there was no hot water during my stay. They sounded apologetic though. Room was adequate, but noisy when people walk down the corridor.
"Poor value for money"
I recently went to a lunch for 250 people at this hotel and I can honestly say it is the worse meal that I have ever had. I don't know whose fault it was for the selection of food available but we couldn't choose the starter or the sweet only the main course and there was only two options - lamb or vegetarian. The starter was half a cold pepper with cold couscous and vegetables (it was like a hard blob of rice) with a sprinkling of lettuce. My main course was an aubergine soaked in oil with a selection of vegetables inside (awful). The roast potatoes weren't roasted but the new potatoes were lovely. The hard and poor flavoured treacle tart was something else to avoid. The staff were attentive and polite but the food itself was poorly cooked and flavourless. Before our meal we were able to buy a cup of cool coffee as well if we wanted for £2, I declined. Not somewhere that I would wish to go for a meal again.
"Excellent value for money with most helpful staff"
I recently stayed two nights at the Webbington Hotel with a group of rambling friends. We found that the hotel catered more than adequately for our needs, and it was very easy to deal with the management to arrange the stay, and they went out of their way to help and accommodate our requests. Of particular note was the staff. Without exception they were hard working, professional, efficient, helpful and charming. I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a reasonable break.
"Fabulous Location and Amazing Value for Money."
After Driving up and down the M5 motorway for 20 years going back and forth between London and Cornwall we would always admire the Webbington Hotel set in the hillside . It had a enchanting look and seemed like a grand house our of an American Soap. We were delighted to find it was a Hotel and Spa and said one day on the way back to London we would stop of . We did and love every moment. The setting and views are amazing and the Spa facilities were all inclusive . The staff were lovely and the hotel has a lot of history . Excellent Value for money and will be making it a regular feature in stopping over next time we visit Cornwall.
"My wedding "
Organising the event we had our planner changed 3 times, not really an issue but a little annoying when you have to update info again. I was given access to the venue lunchtime the day before to organise and set up, offered help by a member of staff who then finished shift. The bedroom / bridal suite was freezing the night before the wedding nor did the TV work, apparently it didn't work in several rooms and it wasn't fixed throughout our whole stay! Apparently the heating had been turned off in the hotel as the weather had been warm and not turned back on. The venue is lovely bit tricky to get to but the views are gorgeous. The staff are rather rude and abrupt (except Jamie) We'd booked an accessible room for my father to find on checking in they'd moved him to a room up a stair case which is very difficult for him. The hotel is NOT DDA friendly there are lots of stairs and different floor levels Afternoon was lovely, buffet breakfast is nice, Hog roast was lacking, not really a hog roast - trays of warm meat nothing special. Overall lovely wedding but be prepared to organise it yourself. Normal hotel rooms are TINY so if you like space pay the extra for the main house.
"Very tired hotel"
My wife and I stayed here for a mini break after our wedding to visit Cheddar. Upon arrival i wasn't impressed. The whole place is very tired and dated. The bed was small and very uncomfortable. I requested an iron and ironing board and couldn't fill the iron with water as when I did it leaked everywhere. And there was some heart shaped confetti type stuff on the floor in our room obviously from the previous guests. There is a free gym, swimming pool, sauna and steam room, which were fine but to access the sauna and steam room, you have to walk through the gym on carpet, past everyone which isn't ideal when you've just got out the pool. It wasn't all bad though. The parking was ample and free. The food, especially the buffet breakfast was great. The staff were friendly enough. The evening bar was nice and has some very comfortable sofas to relax on. Beth gave us both amazing massages too. The best I'd ever had. I mentioned to her that the place was old and knackered and she said everyone says that so I think the owners should take that on board as the place has a lot of potential.
"Attended for a wedding - In need of an update"
We stayed at this hotel to attend a wedding and booked for convenience as this was the hotel where the wedding reception was taking place. The room that we were staying in was clean and serviceable but that is about all we can say on the positive side. It was extremely dated in that the décor hadn't been updated for decades. The hotel information folder proudly includes black and white photos of people who stayed at the hotel in the 70s that we had never even heard of. We were disappointed to find that the toilet cistern was leaking and there was a pool of water on a ledge behind the toilet. This was something we should have mentioned to reception but having arrived very late at night and being in town for an event starting early the next day, we didn't get a chance. The hot tap for the sink in the bathroom was also too hot to use and the towel rail also fell of the wall as soon as we touched it. Our biggest complaint would be that the walls are very thin and we could clearly hear conversations, the television and in one case music going on in neighbouring rooms. Not to mention the delightful sounds of the toilet being used next door. There was plenty of parking at the hotel and the staff were pleasant and helpful. The bar area of the hotel was very nice enough for having drinks with an outdoor patio area with views of the area including the nearby motorway. I am sorry to say we wouldn't stay at this hotel again given the out-dated rooms and the noisy rooms. We felt that the price tag attached to the hotel did not reflect the quality. It is neither particularly well located nor is there any redeeming quality that would induce me to want to visit again.
"Over priced and poor quality."
On my arrival to this hotel from first glimpse it looked like a nice hotel. Unfortunately the cigarette butts lying on the ground just outside the main doors were not my idea of a nice welcome. Reception were friendly enough and check in was quick. I found my room but was very disappointed. It hadn't been cleaned to a professional standard. Urine and hair on the toilet seat, limescale around taps and water marks where the tap hadn't been polished. I.found 2 Hairs in the bath. Going into the room the wall underneath the kettle was heavily stained with tea stains. The TV remote had thick dirt on it and the light fixture were thick dust. I went downstairs to the bar area and there was food all over the floor which apparently had been there since lunchtime..I had arrived at 4.30pm. After ordering food it arrived luke warm and presentation was poor. I visited the spa which was mediocre. The pool was absolutely freezing which I later learnt was due to a broken boiler. The area around the pool is looking tired and needs either a deep clean or a makeover. I don't understand In order to use the steam and sauna you have to walk through the gym and exercise class.. I felt embarrassed to walk past a group of men working out dressed in a towel and soaking wet. There is only one shower in the ladies locker room which is ridiculous for a spa! After speaking to management I was offered £18 off my bill. The whole room cost nearly £100 and for the quality it is very overpriced. The whole stay was very disappointing and I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone.

"Great value"
We paid £95 for Dinner, B&B. Our first room (19) was up several flights of stairs and we changed to 3, which was easier to access. 3 was average-sized, with a partial view of the countryside below. Facilities clean and more than adequate. Dinner and breakfast were pretty good and the reception and dining service we received were excellent. Bar terrace is excellent, as it has glorious views over the surrounding countryside.
Dear Richard T Thank you for your review. I was delighted to read that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay with us and that you had the opportunity to experience the hotels facilities and wonderful views. I will be sure to share your comments with the management and team at the hotel. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel, we do hope we have the pleasure to welcome you back again soon.

"mortified!!"
So me and my boyfriend and our friends checked in to 2 different rooms. Me and my bf went to ours to find a pair of dirty women's underwear on the floor down the side of the bed!! Then went to the reception to ask to speak to a manager to be notified the receptionist was at the time the manager to say “I am sorry about this what would you like me to do” I was so shocked at the way he reacted!! To then move us rooms too a room with a broken shower, thick dust along the bathroom lock and the window sills and for the kettle to be full of lime scale. All I was offered was a complimentary drink from the bar. To then the next morning be woken up by a housekeeper walking in to our room at 9am baring in mind we was checking out at 11am. Really ruined our stay and our few days away to Weston-super-Mare!!! Would definitely avoid this as much as possible!!!
Dear Conniebaseley Thank you for your review. I was very disappointed to read that you did not thoroughly enjoy your stay with us and please pass on my sincere apologies to your boyfriend. The housekeepers at the hotel would normally be highly praised for the condition and presentation of our guest rooms, I am truly sorry for any inconvenience you encountered and I will be sure to share your comments with the head housekeeper so that they can ensure they continue to present our guest rooms to the high standards I know they set themselves. We welcome all guests' constructive comments and feedback and thank you for brining your concerns to our attention. We do hope you will allow us the opportunity to welcome you back again and should you require accommodation in the area in the future, please do contact the hotel directly so that we may assure you of an experience that exceeds expectation.

"Stay after a day at Cheddar Gorge"
Had a one night stay at the hotel after a day in the Gorge. Its only 5miles away from there so in close proximity. The hotel has a spa that's free to use and a bar that has a terrace over looking the fields opposite which is a lovely view. It has an on site restaurant which i didn't eat bit looked nice i ordered from the bar menu which serves until 21:30 the food is nice aswell. The parking is free. I would recommend staying there if your taking a trip to Cheddar or any areas surrounding. I would rate this as a 3/4* hotel the rooms are nice just the hallways let it down slightly...
"Pleasant Hotel with Friendly Staff"
I chose this hotel in a bit of a hurry as we were travelling for work purposes at the last minute. Whilst the hotel was a little off the beaten track it was in a nice location and our room was very clean and nicely laid out. Fortunately we don't have any disabilities but my concern with the hotel is that there are quite a number of steps, awkward doors and different levels for anyone with visual or physical limitations. Also on the day we left a road closure made getting back to the motorway a little confusing ... some better signs would be helpful.
"Would not recommend"
I am disabled and was put in a room that required going up or down 4 flights of stairs the room was small so I couldn't use my crutches and I have a severe nut allergy and was told they don't use any nuts and then saw on their menu yes they do (unless pine nuts aren't nuts and I've been wrong my whole life)
"a very well run hotel with loverley staff"
we often looked up at this hotel fron the m5 and never thought we would stay there though it would be too expensive we only stayed for 1 night the food was excellent so was the room the staff were very helpfull and freindly the views from this hotel were stunning we will be going back with out a doubt
"Beautiful location"
We stayed at the Webbington Hotel for two nights and found it to be a place we would definitely visit again. The staff are very friendly and can not do enough for us. The spa was very relaxing and the pool refreshing. The views are beautiful yesterday we enjoyed sitting on the terrace in the afternoon sun shine. Our room was lovely, warm and very clean. Breakfast and evening meal were delicious and not over priced for a hotel.
"It is ok ..."
Stayed here for a couple of nights, seeing family in the local. It isn't terrible, however my wife and I struggled to find anything that stood out about this place. The view is excellent, you get an astounding hum of the M5 on a twilight evening and the pool would give a goldfish dizzy spells. The food isn't terrible, however it isn't worth shouting about and the bar selection is somewhat cliched from its modest selection. We used here as a base, rather than a place to be - which is why we think that it is kind of average.
"Wonderful Edwardian mansion in a rural setting"
Stayed in the main house in a veranda room. Enormous, comfortable bed and a very big room with double-aspect windows and doors leading out onto a large balcony. clean ,large , modern bathroom with a walk-in shower. Piping hot water and plenty of mains pressure. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent. A good range of choices to suit all budgets.
"Stunning views"
Stayed here on a business visit. Obviously a wonderful place in its heyday, and still holds an attraction today - the balcony views are superb - food good at lunchtime. Massive reception area that looks like a bit of wasted space but there seems to be some works going on in this area. Quite a trek to the courtyard rooms through an excessively overheated corridor! Rooms also quite warm - couldn't open windows as the M5 can be heard as an annoying hum. Went into Axbridge with some colleagues using a taxi firm from Weston (Number 222222) and said we wanted to come back at 10.30pm...no problem the driver said as he gave me his card...however at 10.30pm there were no taxis available until the following morning! Uber do not operate around here...luckily someone in the pub gave us another number to try and we managed to get back! The hotel could do with a shuttle taxi of its own!!
Dear Paul B Thank you for your review. We totally agree with you, the views from our terrace are spectacular, especially on a warm sunny day.

"Another great stay."
The Webbington is our favourite hotel. We have stayed here several times. We always get great deals when booking direct. We have always received excellent service,fantastic food and a spacious and clean room. My only concern at the minute is why the main signage has been covered up for so long?!
Dear TJH Thank you for your review and for choosing our hotel once again. Your feedback is truly welcome and will be shared with everyone here at the hotel. We are in the process of renewing the hotel signage and just waiting for some calmer weather to install the large sign that you refer to. Rest assured that this will be completed as soon as we can. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa, we look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Don't forget to Book Direct to take advantage of the best possible rates and offers.

"Wedded Bliss"
My wife and I chose this venue to get married. We had to cancel our original date to due to circumstances beyond our control. The rearranged date had also had to be cancelled, again to circumstances beyond our control. We thought we'd lost our deposit and started to look elsewhere, however the Wedding and Events Team offered us a third date as they knew about our circumstances. The venue can hold two weddings at once. Any misgivings about this can be blown away. Our wedding was at the same time as another and you certainly wouldn't have known that two weddings were happening on the same day. Neither wedding party met and many of the guests didn't even realise that another wedding was taking place. The Wedding and Events Team, Charley And Sophie were magnificent. The day ran without a hitch. The splendid Tiark Restaurant where we had the ceremony and the Wedding Breakfast was set out beautifully. The Wedding Breakfast which was afternoon tea itself was gorgeous, the Lemon Tart was amazing. The venue itself is its own selling point with its quirkinesses and charm. Situated in the Mendips, the location is beautiful. In the older part of the hotel, no two rooms are the same which is part of its charm. The beds are comfortable, the shower powerful. The room was very quiet The Tiark Restaurant is a beautiful wooden panelled room. Some of our guests used the Spa and swimming pool and were happy with it. I cannot praise the staff, the duty manager and the venue highly enough. They made our perfect day perfect. Thank you.
Dear DWandDW Thank you for taking some time to share your feedback. I am delighted that you both thoroughly enjoyed your special day and that the team at the Webbington Hotel could help ensure to was full of wonderful memories. I will be sure to pass on your comments to everyone here at the hotel and I know they will be very pleased that they could help make your perfect day. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel, we do hope to see you again soon. Kindest regards Guest Relations

"Family qedding"
Good service. Great wedding organisation. Food excellent. Our room was lovely bed huge bathroom great. It rained. Being in annexe got wet. A covered walkway to the annexe would be a great idea. Bar a bit expensive
Dear LynH62 Thank you for your review. Your feedback is most welcome and I will be sure to share your comments with the wedding and events team and the management at the hotel, who I know will be very pleased that you thoroughly enjoyed the Family Wedding. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel, we do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back again soon, and please don't forget to book on the hotels website for the best rates and offers available.

"Beautiful setting, could be great"
Stayed for one night recently with my wife on my birthday weekend. Room was good size overlooking a small courtyard to the rear of the hotel. Bed was OK, bathroom was nice with everything you may need. No phone in room. The building itself is spectacular with real old school charm and great internal spaces. We discovered a wedding was in progress when we arrived which is fine as most hotels seem to host weddings throughout the year these days, this wasn't an issue as we assumed it would be managed to ensure it didn't spoil other guests stays. We booked dinner for that evening and to be honest the restaurant which seems to have it's own identity was a bit 1970s looking but that tickled us. However, the service was a little erratic with the mainly teenage staff either too brusque and nervy or cloyingly over attentive. This was amusing but the food we had was lacklustre and and bit bland, not enough to complain about before you suggest it, but just about OK. That night at about 12 midnight we were awoken by a group of about 15 wedding guests who had migrated from the bar and terrace (you'd think this was big enough for them), to the courtyard who for about 45 minutes, laughed like drains, shouted and squealed and generally made a noise 30 feet below ours and several other guests windows. I let this go for a while thinking somebody would herd them back to the bar but nobody did. I was gearing up to call reception when it all went quiet. I'm no spoilsport, it was somebody's big day but it was getting unbearable. When I mentioned it to the woman on reception she just replied ”did you call the night porter?” I would have thought the night porter had only one big task that night, keep the wedding party to their area so as not to upset sleeping guests. At about 7:30 the next morning the fire alarm was triggered by a guest with a gripe and the staff took a good 15 minutes to get the thing to stay quiet - me and the wife seemed to be the only 2 who assembled at the fire point! Mind you, we were already up so as to use the fantastic pool and spa facilities which are included in the tariff. Great pool, steam room, sauna and a well equipped gym if you need it. It was little inconvenient to have to traipse through the gym to get to the sauna and steam room but as this hotel is a spa business as well, this set up must suit their usual clientele so no worries. All in all, a lovely setting for a relaxing break but with a few small issues that could be easily ironed out with minimum effort.
Dear JohnnieHaHa Thank you for your review. I was very pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay, and I do apologise for any noise disturbance you encountered during the night. We do try to create ‘Quiet Zones' around the hotel during weddings and events and I hope it wasn't too much of an inconvenience to you. We do welcome our guests feedback, and thank you for providing some very useful constructive comments, which we will be sure to share with the management team so that we can continue to ensure our guests the best possible experience.

"Anniversary"
Clean room, friendly and helpful staff. Food was lovely, had room service and ate in the bar, both really nice food, a decent portion and reasonably priced. We had a lovely weekend there and would return in the future.

"Night away"
As this is my 2nd review ( the 1st was removed ) I thought I'd update the Hotel is very tired in need of a lick of paint the outside could do with a sweep & a gardener wouldn't be out of place for a visit , as for the food "David [-] " needs to read a cookery book as the Barnsley Chops that were served unfortunately were inedible break fast was a a joke the toaster was on but there was no bread the full English came without a fried egg apart from the refund upon departing there was nothing else to say
Dear shaunwarren1 Thank you for taking the time to write a second review, I do apologise if your first review did not meet the required guidelines and was removed by the TripAdvisor quality control department. Your comments are most welcome and will be shared with the head chef and his team. However, I was disappointed to read that you did not enjoy your experience, we would normally receive constructive and positive feedback, which does help to ensure we continue to deliver the best possible service and standards that we strive to achieve for all our guests enjoyment. I am glad that prior to your departure you were able to speak with a member of management who did all they could to resolve and address your feedback at the time. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Regards Guest Relations
"Exceeded expectations"
I had wanted to visit hotel for many years as we drove past it every time we went on holiday. On reading the views we were a bit sceptical. However, these were a bit unfair or we just didn't have any issues. We had a double room at the back of the hotel which had a king size bed and a lovely large ensuite. Everything was nice and clean and we had everything we needed. There was a wedding going on but we didn't hear a thing and had a lovely peaceful night. We didn't have an evening meal as we had chips at the seaside. We did have breakfast and the choice was very extensive and was really tasty. The staff were all really helpful and friendly. The hotel has some great free facilities open to all residents and is located in a wonderful spot. If we are down here again we will definitely stay here again.
Dear mrcurtains Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. We were delighted to read that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and that our dedicated team could help enhance your experience.

"Highly recommended for a wedding"
Stayed here for our daughters wedding. Lovely old building with amazing staff. Beautiful views & lots of photo opportunities. The whole day was very relaxed and run seamlessly due to the hard working staff. Charli, the wedding coordinator is fantastic. We had room 9 which is a beautiful, large room with beams & a modern shower room. Two of our party had the disabled ground floor rooms which were easy to access in the court yard. Vegetarians & gluten free guests catered for very well. The wedding meal was tasty & piping hot. Breakfast was good this morning with lots of gluten free choices. Thank you.
Dear AliMead1962 Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel following your daughter's wedding. I was very pleased to read that you and your guests thoroughly enjoyed your experience and I will be sure to pass on your comments, I know Charley and the team will be very pleased that they could help make your daughter's special day so very memorable.

"It has gone down hill"
Stayed here before and the hotel was great unfortunately the place has gone down hill as there were cigarette butts all over the floor at entrance , patio and rear garden lobby , broken glass on the patio and dirty towels left in the leisure center
"All good except the creaky floors!"
I stay at the Webbington a lot when I am working in the South West as a break in my journey. Pros: Staff helpful and friendly. Spa facilities inc small pool and gym. Hotel is aged but clean and tidy. Food has always been very tasty in both the bar and restaurant and a good selection at breakfast. Cons: Very creaky floors in the courtyard bedrooms. Unfortunately last time I stayed one of my room neighbours was very late to bed and the other one was an early riser so only a few hours sleep - it literally sounds like they are walking in your room. The pool heater had broken last time I was here and it was like swimming in the North Sea but it was quite refreshing ;)
"Comfy, clean good value"
The hotel room was an executive double, which was clean, comfortable with everything we needed for an overnight. We ate in the bar which was good value and the breakfast was nice and fresh and the staff made sure there was plenty. The staff were attentive. All in all good value for money and we found it cheaper to book direct for our stay. We would stay again
Dear jasonhR934LI Thank you very much for taking some time to review our hotel. I was delighted to read that you enjoyed your experience and that you saved on the room rate by booking direct. I will be sure to share your feedback with all at the hotel and I know they will be very pleased to learn that they helped enhance your stay.

"Quite remote but good views once you are there"
I would have rated this hotel higher because it's generally OK and has a country house feel to it as well as there being a spa. My main gripe is the long route you have to take to some of the rooms and there was no lift so it's a struggle with heavy cases. Some staff were great- others not so. It's very much a wedding venue and tends to attract large parties. Lots of parking and nice views but quite close to the M5.
Dear PhilofEnglandLondon Thank you for your review. Our period Edwardian property is set over quite a larger area and I do sincerely apologise if there was any inconvenience accessing your room. The hotel offers a porterage service and would be available to help and assist with your luggage, again, I apologise if this was not offered. Your feedback is most welcome and will be shared with the management to ensure we continue to offer the high standards and service we set ourselves.

"Spa day"
I attended the Webbington for a spa day with my mum after recent illness. We couldn't fault the treatments received from Sue, the afternoon tea or the sauna and steam room. I was however, very disappointed with the temperature of the swimming pool. It was freezing, even though we were assured by members of staff that it was 28 degrees. There is no way the swimming pool was this temperature. It ruined our afternoon because we hoped to spend all afternoon at the venue relaxing but the pool was just too cold. I have emailed the manager my feelings on this matter and how we were disappointed but this has obviously fallen on deaf ears because we have not had a reply. I wouldn't recommend visiting unless there are guarantees that the management have amended the temperature of the swimming pool.
Dear Neil C Thank you for your valued feedback. Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience suffered due to the pool temperature. At the time of your visit the pool temperature thermometer was defective and displaying an incorrect temperature reading, I would like to assure you that this has now been addressed and rectified. However, I understand that this cannot remedy the situation during your visit. Therefore, should you wish to return and use the facilities again, please contact the hotel directly, whereby we can assure you of our commitment to our guests and the facilities we provide. I will be sure to pass on your kind comments to Sue and the team regarding the treatments and services you enjoyed. I do hope you will visit us again and we look forward to welcoming you back and providing you with the services and standards that we pride ourselves on. Kind regards Guest Services
"Really enjoyable stay."
We stayed for 4 nights over Christmas on a bridge holiday. Sharing the hotel with us was a group of walkers. The bridge hosts, Frank and Gina, were wonderful. If you tired of bridge, there were lots of different puzzles to go for. At the end of the stay, most couples went home with some kind of prize. The food was of excellent quality,especially breakfast. I admit, though, I shouldn't have chosen turkey for Christmas lunch as it was, as is normal with turkey, pretty tasteless. Our room was very comfortable on the first floor. We would recommend anyone staying there not to get a room on the second floor as it is a bit of a clamber up the stairs. There is no lift. The only reason we do not award 5 stars is that the heating gets turned off quite early. So the radiators were getting cold before we got back from our bridge sessions. As it was winter, we can't comment on the outdoor facilities..
Dear derekallum Thank you for taking some time to review our hotel. I was very pleased to read that you thoroughly enjoyed our period property over the festive season and that you found the service and dining to your liking. I will be sure to pass on your comments. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel, we do hope we have an opportunity to welcome you back again next year, for the annual Christmas Bridge Break. Sincerely Guest Relations
"Lovely surroindings"
Went in January for a post Christmas break. Hotel was immaculately clean. Room was large by comparison to other hotels and well furnished. Staff were friendly and reliable. The only downside was the lack of heat. Going away in January you expect to be cold outside but not inside. Had to put extra blankets on the bed at night. Also a big missed opportunity in the bar lounge...an open grate but no fire which would have added to warmth and ambience. The pool room was warm but not the water. Enjoyed our stay and would return but just some simple things that could have made it better
Dear MarrobinWarwickshire, Thank you for your review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was glad to read you enjoyed it and had a good Post-Christmas break at our charming Edwardian manor near popular touristic attractions such as the Cheddar Gorge, the Wookey Hole Cave, Weston-Super-Mare and Bristol. However, I was sorry to read the issues you experienced during your stay regarding the temperature and I would like to apologise for the inconveniences that it may have caused and I wanted to let you know that I have passed your review to our team who will look into more detail the issues mentioned in this review. Once again, thank you for choosing us and taking the time to leave us your valued feedback. Should you visit the area again soon, we will be more than glad to welcome you back to the Webbington. Best regards, Guest Relations
"Lovely two night stay"
My husband and I returned here having previously come with a group on two occasions. Our room, thanks to Jamie, was wonderful. As always everything was clean and the food delicious. My brother and his wife joined us the second night and also enjoyed their stay. My only slight criticism is that I do find the restaurant a bit chilly and sat near the radiator. We found the staff all very helpful as usual, and love the pool and sauna. We will no doubt return to this hotel in the future.

Had a full day of pampering on my birthday September 2018, the location was beautiful, the staff were warm and welcoming . Has a full body massage which was extremely relaxing, my husband was snoring during the massage. Lol. I would definitely recommend.

"One night stay"
Good food. Great entertainment. Pleasant rooms. Only criticism was cold when we arrived. It did warm up after I mentioned it, not sure if that was the reason or it was just on a timer. It was also a disappointment that the pool was closed temporarily but we did use the sauna and steam room.

"More 'Johnny English' than 'James Bond'!"
We booked a table for our organisation's Christmas party, a 'James Bond' themed evening. The party itself was reasonable but the food was awful. Most of it came out cold, it was of poor quality and many of our party didn't get their meat at the same time as their veg! I had booked a meal here for Christmas Day but phoned today to cancel based on this disappointing experience last week. When I fed back that the food was 'rubbish', I was told it was not rubbish and that I was entitled to my opinion but they had an experienced chef and the food was not rubbish!! Talk about listening to customers - what a joke!! I am local to the Webbington but will not be attending any further events there, neither will I recommend it to friends. I've never left a review in my life but feel incensed enough to do so today.
Dear SamwhichC Thank you for your feedback following your visit at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. On behalf of all the team, I would like to apologise for the issues you experienced with at the James Bond Christmas Party night. I am extremely disappointed that your experience has resulted in you to cancelling your meal on Christmas Day. The hotel manager would very much like to discuss your comments further and hope that you will afford him an opportunity to restore your faith in the Webbington Hotel and the dedicated commitment to our guests and service they provide. Could you please contact him directly on [email protected] Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa, I do hope we have an opportunity to welcome you back again. Best regards, Laura Guest Relations
"So disappointing!!!"
Stayed here to celebrate my birthday whilst visiting surrounding areas like Cheddar and Wells. Arrived in our room (Room 5 / family room)only to find none of the radiators were working, so had to put on the old style storage heaters, even the towel radiator didn't work. The room wasn't much better, after a completely sleepless first night, waking up throughout the night due to a spotlight pouring light in as the curtains in the room were hung too low and didn't even touch the bottom. The bed base was also broken but did not realise this until the following night when I experienced exactly the same only to rotate the bed base around so as to be able to get proper support. The spotlight was exactly the same the second night and upon asking the night porter to switch it off He told me he had not been trained as to where to switch it off. So as a last resort we packed excess linen into the gaps to try and cut out the light pouring in. The bedroom didn't get vacuumed all through our stay as bits were on the carpet from the moment we checked in. The light fittings were caked in cobwebs and in general just not very clean. Breakfast wasn't the best as not a fan of buffets , come on people what's wrong with a plated cooked breakfast. Also had dinner in the restaurant the first night and chose to eat off the TDH menu. The wife's soup was the best meal with my prawn and pineapple salad so basic and tasteless. Main course we had a Barnsley chop that was so over cooked and unenjoyable with the wife having vegetable moussaka which was bland and oily. Needless to say we didn't return the following night to eat off the a la carte menu and decided to go elsewhere to celebrate. The bar/terrace seemed a nice place to enjoy a drink but they never closed the curtains and on a cold winters night, make it cosy you will keep your customers drinking instead we disappeared back to our room. Upon checking out I did complain only to be told “oh ever so sorry nobody has previously brought your concerns to our attention before” upon which I asked for a duty manager to come with me to the room to point out the issues. Again I was told “no one had brought this to our attention previously “ We also used the spa on the first day only to find the pool is nowhere near the steam room or sauna which requires you to negotiate an uncomfortable walk through a busy gym in your swim attire with several doors open. Needless to say I won't be returning and if you happen to stay in room 5 (family room) I'd be curious if they actually do something about the broken base, undersized curtains and spotlight right outside the windows. Or shall the next complaint have the same standard reply I received “ apologies nobody has previously brought that to our attention”

"Service is fab"
Hotel is in a lovely setting, clean & comfortable albeit a little tired. The staff are fantastic - attentive & professional and the food in the restaurant and at breakfast was very good. The room was spacious and clean, although the layout of the hotel is warren-like with many steps so may not be ideal for less agile guests
Dear Global54908543015, Thank you for your review following your stay at our Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was pleased to read you had overall a good stay with us and you found our staff services and facilities to your liking. I wanted to note that due to the layout of our charming Edwardian manor, it is not possible to install a lift. However, should our guests need any assistance for any reason or need a more accessible room, our friendly and dedicated staff are eager to go the extra mile and help where possible. Once again thank you for choosing our hotel and taking some time to share your valuable feedback. We hope we will have the opportunity of welcoming you back to the Webbington Hotel and Spa again soon. Best regards, Laura Guest Relations
"Excellent hotel and customer service, shame about the access"
My wife and I stayed on 5 December. We had, many times seen it from the M5, and promised we would stay. I checked the reviews, so booked. The receptionist, helpfully, suggested we use junction 22, so that we came via the main road. She didn't say that this still involved several miles of single track road. A bit worrying, late in the evening, when we were tired. As we, finally, approached the entrance, our hearts fell. There were LOTS of steps. I, foolishly, had failed to tell them that my wife has very limited mobility! When we finally, got to the desk, the receptionist, kindly offered to move us to a family room, which was much closer. That still involved 37 steps from carpark to room. To make it worse, the steps vary in height and pitch. The handrail changes from side to side, and, in some places, there is no handrail. The food was excellent, the service simply superb. I can, especially, praise the breakfast, both in choice and quality. It's a lovely building, but a little tired in places. Our room (5) had a lovely, virtually new shower room, with a fabulous rainfall shower. At the same time, the curtains were tatty, and there was a hole in the window. We didn't try the leisure centre. I would DEFINITELY recommend my friends stay there, but, unfortunately, won't be able to return ourselves, because of all the steps. To be fair, had I told them about her mobility, I'm confident that they would have been honest, and suggested we try one of their sister hotels.
"Nice place, but a few faults"
We stayed here for three night,the rooms are very basic with only a very small shelve above the hand basin,which you could only put three items, When we arrived the heating in our room wasn't working,so they gave us a small fan heater, and said they would get maintenance to look at it the next day,it didn't happen and we had the small fan heater for the three days, The breakfast is £10 each for full breakfast,which included tea or filter coffee which I think they forgot to put the coffee in the filter,if you wanted a cappuccino it was £1:50 extra,and if you wanted a cappuccino in the bar it was £3:50 The staff at reception were very pleasant,but found the bar staff a bit unsociable.
"Nice location"
Very nice hotel , nice staff meals , nice gym and spa plenty of free parking, set on the foot of a hill , great for hill walking or visiting local area , just off the M5 , very quiet location ten minute drive from Weston Super mare
"Can't wait to go back :)"
This was a birthday treat for me from my parents as they love it here, and I loved it too. Good timing as the pool is about to be closed for a refurb but it was still lovely to use, along with the gym and steam room. All of the staff are lovely and remembered my mum and Dad from last time. Nothing is too much trouble, the food is lovely and the general vibe is very relaxed. The room for me was a standard double which was perfect for me, it had a lovely view and included a bath/shower combo and overall is very comfortable. The building is very quirky, with creaky floorboards (not a complaint, it's a reassuring sound) and old fashioned architecture details. I can't wait to come back for a longer stay to chill out even more.
Dear Traveler45966079541, Thank you for your review following your stay at our Webbington Hotel and Spa.

"Would return"
So I booked this hotel as it was £60 breakfast.i requested a specific room. What can I say.they provided. The room was amazing (room 9) huge and very comfortable. Didn't have an amazing vue but I didn't sit staring out the window.the staff were lovely the bar staff didn't get his name did everything to make me feel comfortable and was very friendly. The same with the receptionists. Dinner from the bar menu was lovely and really good priced.only had tap water so don't know about the drinks menu. The room was in the old side which was lovely and rustic, just my style. Breakfast was lovely 7.30-9.30. As the hotel didn't have many guests the waiter took your order for cooked food which was lovely. The pool was nice and good changing rooms. Massive gym if you wanted to use it.bit strange walking through the gym to the sauna but not to bad.Everything was lovely and just what I needed for a night away to clear my head.the only 1 thing I could suggest is to bring your own hairdryer as the one in the room you have to hold down which hurts after a while and may be an issue with people who have joint issues.also the dryer in the changing rooms for the spa facilities,are the old style burn your Hand jobbies but I think there having a refurb in the leasure part soon so may change.all in all it was a very enjoyable stay.

"Birthday Visit"
Used our Tesco Vouchers to book this hotel for 3 nights away on my birthday. We paid extra to upgrade the accommodation as we find if you book with vouchers you seem to get allocated a far from perfect room. The room was OK although even then the rooms on either side of us were larger and laid out better.We were in main building which was a bonus as many rooms are in the annexe. The evening meals were quite good and reasonably priced the only snag is that it was very chilly In the restaurant.Staff were pleasant and very efficient.Breakfasts were also good ,plenty of cereals and fruit,usual items on the hot buffet although you had to order fried/poached eggs to order ,if you wanted to eat them with the rest of the items one or other got cold.Toast,croissants ,pastries and yoghurts were also available.Haddock and kippers are also on the menu but my husband found the haddock to be a bit dry. We have stayed here before and did use the nice swimming pool but unfortunately did not have time this visit. The hotel is a bit out in the sticks,the M5 is close but you don't hear the noise when windows shut and it doesn't spoil the view across the valley. My rating would be good rather than average if I had that option.
Dear Janet J, Thank you for your feedback following your recent stay at our Webbington Hotel and Spa. I would like to thank you for choosing us for such a special occasion and I am very pleased you enjoyed your visit.

"Half tern break"
We booked here for a night whilst spending a few days in the West Country for the half term break,when we arrived they didn't have. A Family rom available as booked but quickly upgraded us to a wonderful exec room.This was perfect Breakfast was good and the staff were able to accommodate my granddaughters coeliac disease by providing gluten free range and soya milk for her dairy allergy. Staff were not overly helpful but OK.The hotel is off the beaten track but still beauitful would stay again.
"Lovely hotel"
Stayed here as an early birthday treat, made the reservation through booking.com & put in the special instructions could I have best room available as it was my birthday & they delivered!! Our bed was 2 singles pushed together, it was massive & very comfortable, 5 pillows plus 2 spares in the wardrobe! 2 huge bath sheets. Despite being able to see the M5 in the distance the view out of our window was fantastic. We had tea, coffee, hot chocolate & biscuits available, we had a small hallway to separate the bedroom & our bathroom. Freeview TV. Coathangers, chair, desk, menu for the terrace bar. Didn't tey facilities but that was personal decision. Breakfast was OK, could have done with being hot as was warm but good all the same, cereal, fruit juice, fresh fruit, yoghurt, toast, jams, marmalade, all milks, fry up, different eggs on request, kippers etc. Check out was by 11 which was lovely as you can get a long lie in. Overall would definitely stay again.
"Beautiful setting and comfortable stay"
We stayed here for one night to break our journey from Cornwall to the Midlands. I have often noticed this hotel from the M5. We decided to break our journey this time and when looking for hotels this one came up with special 'winter rate' and seemed good value. We were given a 'superior room' with beautiful views of the Somerset levels. Unfortunately you could hear the motorway but it didn't bother us as we had the window closed. Our room and bed was very spacious and comfortable. The hotel has lots of character. We ate in the restaurant and found it very good value and delicious. We enjoyed our stay here very much.
"Very disappointing 'Spa-day'!"
After what has been a stressful couple of weeks for us, my sister and I decided to treat our mum to a birthday pamper at The Webbington. We booked a spa voucher online at SpaSeekers ahead of the day and I was called by a lady by the name of Sue I believe, that helped me arrange the day. She gave me details on times of arrival, what to bring and booked us in for our treatments. I queried with her, whether all 3 of us could have our treatments at the same time but unfortunately this wasn't an option; however she did say that 2 of us could go in at the same time and 1 of us would have to go in on their own after. As I wanted us to spend the day together and for no one to be sat on their own, I declined the offer. Therefore, we had 1 treatment booked for an hour at 13:30, 1 at 14:30 and the last one at 15:30. On arrival, we headed down to the spa where there was no one at the reception. We used the telephone to 'call for assistance' and was told someone would come down. We waited for 7 minutes, before another couple came down to the spa and were then also waiting. The gentleman also used the phone to call for assistance and again he was told that someone would come down. After 10 minutes of waiting, what appeared to be a male fitness instructor came out from the gym with a member of the public. He acknowledged me by saying that he would be with me shortly. He proceeded to collect a towel, of which he then threw at the customer that walked out from the gym with him. We were then given our towels and some robes. You could see that the towels were fresh as they came neatly folded from a packet that we saw him open. However, none of us used the robes as they smelt very 'fousty' - as if they'd been hung in a kitchen. The overall layout of the place is quite poor. You have to walk through the gym to get to the changing rooms and then walk back out through the gym to get to the pool. When you're walking around in a towel through a gym full of men, it makes you feel a bit uncomfortable. Something else that we found slightly uncomfortable to see is the fact that there were staff cleaning the stairway and the skirting of the spa. Now, as I was told that we couldn't arrive until 10am, why isn't the cleaning done at the beginning of the day before members of the public arrive? My mum went for her treatment at 13:30, to be told there had been a mess up with the bookings. Her treatment would now be delayed until 14:00 and then both my sister and I would go in at 15:00. This was exactly what I didn't want to happen because then my mum had to sit on her own for an hour. In the end, my mum didn't go in for her treatment until 14:15, which at the time my sister and I were aware of because nobody came to notify us. So, when we arrived at the treatment room just before 15:00, we the didn't go in until 15:15. When I purchased the vouchers, the detail of the treatment was 'Back, neck and shoulder massage, with mini facial and a hand (or) foot massage'. When my mum came out from her treatment, she told me that she wasn't given the option and was just given a hand massage. We did give feedback about this matter to the beautician. But our treatments should have been clarified with us on our arrival. I would like to say though that my mum, my sister and I were all very satisfied and relaxed after our treatments. The girls were very friendly and professional. In addition to this, when you treat yourself to a massage you expect relaxing surroundings. However, at The Webbington this isn't the case. Because it would appear that directly above the treatment room there was a wedding party. I know this because whilst we all had our treatments we could hear them all scuffling around upstairs. We arrived at 13:00 and left at 16:30, which I can say is the first time I can remember ever spending such little time at a spa. My sister and I paid £160 for the privilege of the day and I can categorically say that it was not worth that AT ALL and we will not be returning.
"Not quite at the top"
Stayed for two nights for a wedding at the hotel with all of the families and friends. A lovely old Edwardian manor house converted and added to with fantastic views west over the Somerset Levels. However, being an old building there are problems. There are many short and long flights of stairs and turns. It can get confusing. The hotel is looking tired in places and has dark paneling in many area's. Room 7 was good with a super king bed. However, the radiator would not work but housekeeping brought a small fan heater. The electric towel rail in the bathroom was not working although switched on. Staff, particularly housekeeping, were excellent. Breakfast buffet was very good even though the hotel was very full. The facilities for a wedding are very good and staff did their very best to make it go well. Can be recommended as a complete wedding venue and as a base for exploring the area including Axbridge, Cheddar and the Mendips. The hotel has a 10m pool, large gym and steam and sauna rooms. Shame there is not a jacuzzi as well. It does however need better signage as it is along a narrow winding country road and you come across the entrance suddenly.
"Poor Signage Outside and Inside"
Took ages to find the hotel, signs on the roads were not clear. Luckily I was traveling in the afternoon otherwise it would take much longer to find the hotel in the dark. The outside of the hotel and the public areas look nice. Receptionist was friendly. But the signage to room was very poor, took a while to find it. I requested a GROUND FLOOR room but had to navigate my way through loads and loads of stairs again poorly designed, I almost fell several times. My room was OK in size but tired looking, full of stains on the carpet. Breakfast was OK.
"Tired and dated"
We had two nights here whilst visiting family in the area but I don't think I would stay here again. The whole hotel could do with an update, new carpets and painting. Our room was really quite small and cold, there was no way to turn on the radiator, I think it is centrally timed by the hotel and when trying to turn the thermostat knob I noticed it was thick with cobwebs behind it. The bed was comfortable though and the bathroom a good size although also quite cold. We had booked to eat in the restaurant the first night as our family were going to meet us in there and although the meals were fine the staff seemed very fed up and unfriendly. After we had eaten we went into the bar area but had to wait ages for someone to turn up and serve us, again in a miserable fashion. The following night we just ate in the bar and the staff this time were much more attentive and quick to clear tables. The pool is nice and big although the changing rooms are not in the pool area, you have to walk a short way over a tiled floor where people are walking with outdoor shoes on, as I had no flip flops this wasn't a very nice experience. Also if you want to use the steam room and sauna you have to trail right through the gym whilst dripping wet with a towel wrapped round you and again barefoot. Not a very good layout at all, I would highly recommend people to take flip flops with them. We didn't use the gym but it looked very good with a variety of equipment. Breakfast is buffet style and when we first turned up we assumed we had to wait to be seated (as you do in most hotels) but there was no one around at all, I eventually went back to the bar and asked the woman there if we were to just seat ourselves and she very rudely said ‘well of course you do, sit where you want'. Once seated we were asked if we wanted tea or coffee but then the man just marched off without telling us anything about the breakfast or where it was. The breakfast itself was fine, hot and well cooked and plenty of choice. Overall the thing that lets this hotel down is the indifferent staff who really give off a feeling that they are not interested and for that reason I couldn't really recommend it.
"Return trip"
Stayed for just one night on return from a trip to Tenby. As always a warm and pleasent welcome.Food on spec and good value, room clean and comfy. If I could offer one small citisim please try and provide a couple of local brewed beers,then each visit would be complete!! A big thank you to all the team who work so hard to look after us,we really appreciate your efforts and look forward to calling by again.
"September Wedding"
We had our wedding here on the 22nd September and we can honestly say it was such an amazing day!

A BIG thank you to Roger, Miro, Laura-Jayne & all the team for looking after us on the day, everything went so smoothly! the food was spot on and family and friends all commented how delicious it was! We had the resident DJ booked in the evening and he did an amazing job for us, and we danced all night till the very end! We attended two of the Webbington's wedding fayre's in the lead up to the day, and they were worth a visit, lots of ideas and inspiration! The weather wasn't on our side, but we made the most of it and have lots of happy memories of our wedding day! Thank you again to all involved, we had the best time! from the new Mr & Mrs Eggins :)

"Lovely break away "
Has our Wedding Reception here 26 years ago & always said we'd go back but didn't until now! Really enjoyed our stay here. Had a lovely room in the old part of the hotel. Very professional & friendly welcome on arrival by Jamie in Reception. Bar & gym staff not particularly friendly - felt we were an inconvenience to them! Restaurant staff were friendly. Had breakfast & evening meal - good quality & reasonable service although we did have to hunt down a waitress to order our cooked breakfast & also a waiter to sign for our evening meal! We will return

"Nice but nor brilliant"
Went there with two other couples to celebrate a birthday. Rooms where tired and small but clean. When we went to use swimming pool it was shut but the staff could not tell us when reopening had to check with reception. Not helpful at all.

"Lovely old building"
Really good family room. Clean....well equipped. Lovely views from many windows and outside sitting area. Exceptionally friendly staff. Really tasty, hot Sunday meal...and not too expensive. Nothing too much trouble for breakfast. Only complaint would be ....to go to changing room to pool, had to walk along corridor with towel around you and then the steam and sauna rooms were through the gym.....funny arrangement ??,
Dear Anne H, Thank you for your feedback following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I am glad to read you enjoyed the facilities and the area where the hotel is located. The Webbington is situated near Weston Super Mare, the Wookey Hole Caves and many other local attractions our guests love to visit. Also, the stunning views of the Severn Estuary make the hotel a fantastic location to enjoy a fantastic meal made with fresh and local ingredients near the seaside. On another note, regarding our leisure facilities (free to use for our guests during their stay). As noted in our website, due to the layout of our building a short walk is required in order to access the sauna and steam room. I would like to apologise for any issues this may have caused. Once again, thanks for choosing us. Should you visit the area again, we would love to welcome you back to the Hotel hoping to provide you a superior experience. Please don't forget to book direct for the best rate. Best regards, Laura Guest Relations
"Great nights sleep"
Room: Relaxing decor, comfy mattress, instant hot water. Fantastic pool view, very well equipt gym, helpful (but not particularly friendly staff), quiet location, ample free parking. Very reasonable price all considered - would stay again.
"OK"
First, it was difficult to find this place; perhaps this was due to our satnav not being able to cope with the road closures that were in place at the time of our visit. Our room was disappointingly small and located over a very noisy wood pellet burner. At the end of our stay the reception manager did reduce our bill and apologise as we should have been in a superior room as we booked via BW. The main restaurant was overcrowded due to a large party; this meant service was very slow after we had finished our starters. The following nights we ate in the bar; much the same food but much quicker service. Most amazing of all, for a hotel of this size and rating, was the lack of daily papers: "its because we are so far away from any paper shop" explained the receptionist..........
"Fantastic 2 day break"
Just back from a 2 night stay at the Webbington. Where do I start? The hotel is fantastically quirky, views of the countryside are excellent, the staff are welcoming and helpful, prices are fine, room was great - all in all a highly recommended hotel. Thank you
"the staff make it worth it"
just got back after 3 night stay and will be returning next year.As some people have mentioned there are no lifts but the staff are more than willing to carry your luggage.The room was quite hot but a member of staff provided a fan when we arrived.My wife thought it strange that the dressing table mirror was off to the side so couldn't sit in front of it.The bar ran out of Bailleys and the barman had to search another bar when someone asked for Sambuca.The one thing that stands out at this hotel is the helpfulness and friendliness of all the staff who are happy to go out of their way for you.It is approx. 35 min drive to Clarkes Village and about the same to Weston Super Mare
Dear Edward, Thank you for your review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa.

"Wedding reception"
We had our wedding reception at the webbington hotel on the 2nd September and we couldn't fault it, the staff were friendly and helpful from start to finish and the venue on arrival was beautiful they did an amazing job on decorating the room and made sure the entire evening ran smoothly, we stayed in room 10 with the balcony that had amazing views. We were very happy with our stay and the reception I would definitely recommend them as a wedding venue! ??

"Lovely old style hotel"
Excellent facilities, friendly helpful staff, upon arrival we were warmly greeted by the reception staff who we found to be very helpful throughout our stay, the hotel is located in a very remote area great views of the surrounding fields and the M5 motorway, but ideally located for exploring the local attractions Cheddar, Wells, and Glastonbury not too far away, room was comfortable very clean, and very quiet at night so able to get a great sleep, restaurant food quality was excellent, with a good selection of meals, breakfast was very good. Really enjoyed our stay this is our second time at this hotel and would definitely use it again
"Late lunch"
We arrived during our walk on part of the Mendip Way, and as there wasn't much else on offer, decided to try his hotel for lunch. Large car park & hotel, but without any staff.... At the bar, there was a sign stating if you wanted service to use the phone at the end of the bar - the phone didn't work. So we went looking for signs of life and eventually found someone. We ordered and paid for drinks and food and waited.... There was one other couple in the bar, who had already eaten and the four of us. After what seemed like an unreasonable length of time, our food arrived. The waiter told us all of the staff were in a meeting and so no one was about! The food was terrible. You cannot run a hotel without staff being available, it is a cardinal sin.
Dear Cftjw, Thank you for your review following your experience at the Webbington Hotel and Spa, our charming Edwardian manor near attractive destinations such as Weston-super-mare, the Mendip or the Wookey Hole Caves.

"Parents be aware of hidden chargers."
Lovely setting, helpful staff and satisfactory food. Costs £10 extra for a travel cot of poor quality and no mattress so uncomfortable for young children. This is not helpful when you and your child is tired from traveling. Staff helpful but the lack of mattress or cost of cot isn't their fault.
Dear RachelW2 Thank you for your review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. Whilst I am glad to read your experience with us at our charming Edwardian manor was overall positive, I am surprised to read your comments on the travel cot and I would like to apologise for any inconvenience you encountered.

"Quirky Value for Money, Great Views"
We used to see this hotel from the M5 motorway. Having discovered it had a spa, we decided to stay here. The rooms are a very competitive price (ring direct for the best deals). The staff are friendly and helpful. As there is no lift (this is clearly explained on the website) help is given with luggage. The breakfast is good, with several items available to order freshly-cooked. The buffet could be a bit more imaginative, some more fresh fruits would be welcome. The bar meals are well-priced in hotel terms. The rooms are not huge, but adequate, beds are comfortable and for the price paid the rooms offer great value. The gym and spa facilities are of a slightly strange design, probably down to the age and quirkiness of the building. There is no poolside access from the changing rooms, you have to go through the gym reception area. The sauna and steam room are accessible through the gym, not so good if you are dripping wet from going swimming. A jacuzzi would be a great addition. The steam room was unfortunately out of service when we visited. Unlike some spa hotels, no slippers or dressing gowns were offered, but the price was so good, I wouldn't quibble. I have paid three or four times as much in other places for similar facilities. Children are not allowed in the pool before 8am (school holidays) or after 7pm, which was a bonus. The hotel has fantastic views from the terrace bar and leisure club. Although close to the motorway, the hum of the motorway traffic is not a problem. Bear in mind that the hotel is near farms, so there are country smells outside in the car park! The Webbington is not a hotel for anyone with mobility issues, there are a lot of steps and stairs. All in all we had a good time.

"Ann enjoyable stay in pleasant surroundings."
I found it hard to fault. Our room was spacious and had character. All staff were extremely polite and helpful. The breakfast choices were many and varied and all freshly cooked. The pool was good, however, the layout of the leisure facilities a little odd. Based on our experience I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

"Nice Hotel a bit dated"
Lovely location and a great place to escape to. The views are lovely. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The rooms are small but dated and a bit tired. The gym is good and offers a range for all. The food is excellent. Breakfast is self service buffet but you can also order selected meals. Recommended
"Wonderful stay"
Excellent room, cleaned daily. Our grandchildren were so excited when they saw their towels had been formed into elephants. Nice touch. Staff friendly and helpful. Could not fault the food. Looking forward to our next visit.
"Nice but dated."
Recently stayed here and the place and location itself is lovely and staff are very friendly and helpful the only downside is rooms themselfs they are very dated, we were given a room with a double bed which turned out to be two singles pushed together which made the night slightly uncomfortable to sleep, they also had a musty kind of smell. The walls are also very thin so you can hear ever creak and crack from other rooms.

"Lovely view from the terrace"
Stopped here for one night on the way to meet family in Devon. It's a lovely location with stunning views over Somerset. It is, however, very near the M5 which is good and bad, depending on your point of view. Good from fact its a great stop off point for a journey further south but, bad from the noise element on the terrace and the fact it's not actually very easy to actually get to the hotel from the motorway. The pubic areas of the hotel are lovely, the bar and restaurant are great with lovely outdoor seating. It's clearly a popular wedding venue as they have some great large rooms for hire - there were two weddings on when we were there. The rooms themselves are quite small - we were in the back part of the hotel and be warned, there's no lifts and we were on the second floor. The rooms was clean and adequate for a one night stay and for the price we paid, it was an absolute bargain. The menu is good as is the food, and the ‘proper' breakfast was really lovely with excellent service. We didn't use the spa facilities but they looked good. I'd definitely go back if we were in the area again.

"Our favourite place"
Stayed in May 2018 for my Husband's birthday. Room 9. We had stayed here on previous occasions and everything was just as good as we remembered. Room was clean and well aired. Food was delicious and plentiful. Service was second to none. There was a wedding on that day but it made no difference to our stay. The staff were still as attentive as ever and it was lovely relaxing in the bar area on the afternoon. Looking forward to our return visit in October for my birthday ??

"Awful experience"
This hotel is unclean, marks all over the carpet, also looked like we had poo, on the dressing table chair. My mother is disabled, which I had rung them twice about, and at no time was I told about all the steps inside and outside the building. The biggest disappointment was that flies could land on the food at breakfast ( pastries, bread, fruit) as this was NOT covered, but could not stomach eating This, with the flies.very disappointed with this hotel and feel that they would need to pay me to stay there.
"WALKING HOLIDAY"
Beautiful location with fantastic views from the terrace. Central for walking in the Mendips and a visit to the unique Glastonbury and Tor and lovely Wells with its .Ccathedral and Bishops Palace to explore. As a single person I was pleased with the good large bedroom and double bed that I was allocated. Bar snacks and buffet breakfast were very good with a varied selection. However the evening meal varied in the quality of the cooking, some very good, some a little tough. Staff all very accomodating friendly and helpful.

"Birthday Treat"
Beautiful views and comfortable generally clean rooms and the pool was lovely but there is a farm near by which meant there were lots of flies in the warm weather and 'smells' of the farm when the wind was in a certain direction! Breakfast was really good but the restaurant evening meal was ok the bar menu was best value and you could eat outside and admire the view. If there is a wedding (very popular location) it can be busy and noisy. Sue who does the treatments in the Spa is really lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful in the hotel.

"Midweek break "
Arrived mid afternoon easy check in front facing room over the lower fields. Noticed a mild smell of the cattle sheds less the 100 Mitres away followed by the brushing off of the flies which has lowered my score to a 3. Not a lot the hotel can do about it which is unfortunate. Great bar food but evening meals in the restaurant was a bit disappointing. Breakfast is 10/10 waitress and staff fantastic. What was surprising was they didn't have a policy to clear the outside terrace by 11/11.30pm as the noise to the front bedrooms did echo in. But they did clear it once it was high lighted as there was a pre wedding party on the terrace. If I would return I'd make an inquiry if there was a wedding due as it would get busy Gym was well equipped and the pool was a bonus. Rooms were large (ours was a superior room) Clean with tea coffee etc Would return but in the winter when flies have gone lol
"Breakfast "
Nice hotel friendly reception and bar staff .but restaurants staff no hello good morning had to ask for hot drink ( only 6 people in restaurant At the time ) we went to get the hits breakfast all looked nice till we sat down went to eat baked beans and was stone cold not even been cooked told waiter he just went oh ok walked of . Got someone else to take them away. I'm sure all hot food should be probed be 4 going out . Not hard to cook beans No apologies . We left breakfast

"Hmmm"
We attended a wedding in July, unfortunately there were 2 weddings that day! We stayed over. Looks lovely but - the rooms are very tatty, the bathroom could do with a good scrub, more bars need to be opened to cater for the ‘separate' wedding parties so that we didn't have to ‘hide in the background' and walk all the way to the furthest part of the hotel to get a drink and the men could only use the 1 disabled toilet. The food would barely feed a toddler. As for the breakfast it is self service but unfortunately there were only 4 of us and none of us had a full breakfast due to it running out. I wouldn't stay again

"Nice hotel, but..."
The checkin through to checkout was overall a good experience. The only criticisms are: - I attended a wedding function and the venue was nice the however, it was a very warm day and the venue was unbearably hot. When I asked about AC, I was told to take the room as it was! - I was charged an extra £2 to top up 3 glasses with coke. Not that I drank from it and asked for a top up, the barman just didn't fill the glass to the top! - Some areas were dirty and would have done with some attention. To summarise, nice place but a few issues which need attention. Reputation is always worth more than a quick buck!

"2 night trip away"
Mixed feelings. Standard room for disbled well-tucked away behind the bins. After managing a very uneven drive. Shower would run very hot or stone cold but nothing in between. Nice swimming pool and gym but steam room not operational on either day. Bar and much vaunted terrace looked a bit tired and much-vaunted terrace was so noisy from motorway that it was virtually unoccupied. Breakfast in restaurant very good.

"Old fashioned hotel"
Poorly situated hotel with no lift, ramp and when I stayed, really hot room in the eaves that I kept on banging my head against. Problems in the kitchen meant limited menu, no flexibility to eat in the bar and too far out to eat elsewhere. Poor spa facilities as pool is completely separate from steam room and sauna and you have to walk through the gym to enjoy both pool and sauna
Dear Colin T, I would like to thank you for your review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was disappointed to read that your break with us did not live up to your expectations.

"over night stay"
arrived at hotel on a very hot day. Room at top of hotel was very hot, asked for fan only to be told there wasn't one available. Very uncomfortable night. Small window had to be closed due to noise from people drinking on the patio. Very uncomfortable night. The room itself was very dusty and there were stains on the carpet. Apart from these couple of items and the heat the room was ok and the bathroom was adequate.

"Not bad but ....."
Visited the hotel as attending a wedding in the area and the hotel was ok and staff were friendly. There did seem to be a lot of flies about (not sure why) and dead ones didn't seem to be cleaned up... word of warning there are a lot of stairs and no lift so don't make the mistake I did and assume there would be one. Breakfast was lovely however ended at 10am on a Sunday which I think early compared to most hotels on a Sunday as they normally shut at 11am on sundays. This is an honest review and although it wouldn't put me off just thought I'd be as honest as I can. Thanks for reading.

"Not as good as I was expecting"
First impressions of the entrance hall and walk through the bar area, past the terrace to the room was lovely. Unfortunately the room was a huge disappointment, absolutely tiny, very old-fashioned, barely room to move. My partner went down to ask if we could switch rooms, which they agreed to, and the second room was much nicer; larger, brighter, the textiles were nicer. Both bathrooms were very new, bright and clean. We had dinner at the on-site restaurant on the first night, and it was absolutely exquisite. Unfortunately we then had breakfast the next morning; the continental breakfast and fruit/ yoghurts nice, but cooked breakfast was poor- other half had to wait ages for his order of smoked haddock (very dry) and poached egg. We had enjoyed the dinner so much on the Friday night that we then decided to have dinner again on the Saturday night; big mistake! Plain, no seasoning, watery sauce with the chicken, plain boiled sliced potatoes with onion as the side (again no seasoning, watery, no flavour whatsoever). My other half had 2 tiny slices of flavourless pork (it looked/tasted like cheap stuff), thin watery gravy, and a slice of baked apple that was supposed to have honey on it but didn't. We literally could not believe the difference from one night to the other. I ended sending mine back and not eating that night, that's how bad it was. The pool is nice, although the pool area is in such desperate need of a good clean; the windows are heavily marked/ dirty, it needs a fresh coat of paint etc. The steam room and sauna are accessed through the gym which, for me, I found very uncomfortable walking through on the way to/ from. Location is nice, views from the terrace of an evening are lovely, and even though the motorway was fairly close and could be seen, it couldn't be heard and didn't spoil the atmosphere on the terrace, which was lovely and peaceful. I have to say, the customer service was excellent throughout; we had slight problems with the hot water so phoned reception. The manager was up within 2 minutes to help us. All the staff were incredibly polite and helpful, especially the bar staff on the terrace bar. All in all, an ok stay if you were in the area and had to stop on the way to or from somewhere, but not as a spa weekend.

"Unfortunately wouldn't return or recommend"
I visited the webbington with my family originally to stay 2 nights but we left after one..... First impression tired untidy reception area with cracked tiles... The bar area where you ate was dirty, lots of flies and is positioned in the hotel where everybody walks through it was like being in a corridor. Staff were very rude and unfriendly, everything seemed to be too much trouble for them, we didn't feel relaxed atal... The room was adequate, but definitely needed a good clean, lots of carpet stains, dirty windows, cobwebs etc Breakfast was also a bit of a disappointment the contenial range was varied, however the cooked breakfast was poor and limited. Also I advised a member of staff there was a fly in the jug of milk over by the cereal but it wasn't changed. I believe this hotel was probably very grand in its day but sadly is need of some TLC and the staff need to take a course in customer service.
Dear Beccaj27, Thank you for your review. I am very sorry that you did not thoroughly enjoy your stay with us and that your experience did not meet with your expectations. I was extremely surprised to read your comments as the Webbington Hotel would normally receive positive feedback regarding the staff and service they provide. The Bar Terrace with its wonderful views across the Somerset Levels provides a panoramic vista which our guests would normally positively comment on, I do sincerely apologise if the bar and terrace were not to your preference. The full breakfast buffet includes a selection of hot items to indulge in a traditional English/Somerset Breakfast including (but not limited to) locally sourced bacon and sausage, mushrooms, choice of eggs, baked beans, fried bread and tomatoes; For those with a lighter appetite cereals, toast and preserves; or a continental breakfast with meats and cheeses are available. Your comments will be shared with the dedicated team at the hotel and will help them continue to deliver the level of standards and service that they pride themselves on and that many previous guests have commended them for. I do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back again so that you may experience the hotel and service as we would wish for all our guests to. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa Best Regards, Laura Guest Relations
"Hotel with character, motorway can be heard but not reached easily"
I quite liked my stay because the weather was beautiful and you could sit on a really nice terrace overlooking the valley and the above mentioned motorway. It is a bit disappointing that you get the noise but not the ease of access. The hotel can only be reached after several miles of windy roads and you definitely need a car. On the positive side, there is plenty of free parking, free wifi, a good cooked breakfast at 10 £ and very good water pressure in the shower. The room itself was located in a secondary building which you reached by crossing a courtyard. It was a bit dated and also quite hot so you had to sleep with the window open. Unfortunately there was a lot of guests leaving early in the morning making quite a bit of noise. Also, the floors are very squeaky so you do not really get a good night´s sleep unless you have a very deep sleep or are very tired. If it had been a rainy, miserable day, I would probably just given 3 points.As it was, I enjoyed my stay and will give it 4. The price was quite good. I would not pay more than 80 £ plus breakfast. (Please clean behind the radiators!!!) One word on the bar menu, the Ploughman´s was pretty poor (see my picture).

A very impressive building and location, first rate food and the bar terrace has stunning views of the area and a great view of the sunset. Very impressed that the price covered the room and use of the pool and spa. We stayed b&b and the breakfast was of a high standard and well presented. Very nice sized rooms,clean and good decor

"Wedding reception"
We enjoyed our daughter's wedding reception here on May 19th 2018, and were so impressed felt we should share our experience with others. Despite our initial misgivings due to a couple of changes to the wedding coordinator Lisa came on board and provided us with an excellent service and great attention to detail, fulfilling all requests as far as was possible and making her own suggestions to enhance the presentation of the wedding breakfast room. From the moment the bride and groom and wedding party arrived after the ceremony the attention paid to us by staff was faultless. Lisa ensured we were introduced to Dan the duty manager and our point of contact for the day. He was impressive in his role as 'master of ceromonies' and continued to support us throughout the day and evening reception. Nothing was too much trouble for him, he checked with us frequently to ensure the day was running as we hoped and was accommodating of any requests we made. Despite the long day and late evening finish he remained bright and cheerful and never faltered in his high standards and own expectations of the occasion being a day to remember. Many thanks to the whole team at the Webbington who supported Dan and Lisa with our wedding.

"Distinctly Average"
I came with friends to use the spa as we were staying at the nearby cottages at Webbington Farm. The spa facilities are okay. The pool is nice but some of the loungers were dirty. Annoyingly the sauna and steam room are located through the gym so you have to awkwardly walk through in your swimwear to access them from the pool. It's not bad, it's just not ideal. The let down really was the terrace bar/ restaurant. No staff were present so a sign instructed us to call for staff on a phone - which we later found was disconnected. I asked at reception and someone came. The poor guy didn't know what he was doing - perhaps his first day/week - and shouldn't have been left alone. He had to ask for help with the till and we exercised the utmost patience. It just meant by the time the final member of our party sat down, the meal of the first to order arrived. The manager surfaced with our food but forgot to bring cutlery like he said he would. Food was good so we can't complain but service was shambolic. We all totally respect that the waiter was inexperienced, but surely the management should be their coaching and supporting him - not leaving him alone to muddle through. We sat outside and there was glass on the floor which had been missed in clear up. My friend complained to reception at the end about it all. The receptionist just said she would pass it on to the duty manager.

"Interesting hotel with much to recommend it"
Old fashioned style hotel but very comfortable and pleasant. Check in was efficient and we were given detailed instructions on how to find our rooms but still got lost. There are lots of stairs and no lift so do accept help with your luggage. Rooms were small but comfortable and have everything you need. Bed was comfy and clean. There was some noise from the motorway but nothing serious, the views from the rooms are not great. The leisure club is very nice although it could do with some sprucing up and the layout doesn't really work (the pool is separate from the changing rooms and both are separate from the sauna and steam room). We ate in the bar area which is very nice and has lovely leather sofas. Choice was good and reasonably priced. Breakfast was plentiful and very tasty. The waitress looked completely horrified when I said that we wanted breakfast but hadn't booked but when she realised that we were happy to pay the extra (£10) she was fine! Good value overall and I would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area.

"Mmm well"
Hotel in desperate need of an update..... new beds would be a good place to start. But the staff and the food were amazing. I wanted restaurant menu hubby wanted bar menu, not an issue I sat in the bar area with hubby but had 3 course restaurant choice, sun terrace is amazing we watched the sun set. Full use spa area included in the price and it's well equipped and very helpful staff. I think we will be back but will book a superior room

"Great staff, nice rooms and brilliant value"
First stay here on a quiet Sunday night in May, having booked a meeting room at the hotel on the Monday. Very reasonable bed and breakfast deal and an upgrade to a room in the main house (I gather these are the superior rooms) made this an excellent stay. Comfortable room, decor a little dated but lovely and big. Ensuite was again large and well equipped with a rainfall shower. Gorgeous views, shame about M5 road noise but it didn't keep me awake (even with window open!) and was getting used to it by the time I left! Didn't get a chance to try the spa but gather it's free for guests. Breakfast was self service buffet with some additional cooked to order items. Very nice poached egg on toast and another friendly stay member. All in all this is a little undiscovered gem of a place with some great deals if you go off peak. Recommended!

"Amazing Wedding Day"
Wow! Is all we can say. Our Son and now Daughter in Law married on Sunday. The wedding had been two years in the planning and from the very start, staff had guided and helped them, and us all the way. Staff are very courteous, polite, happy and obliging. The wedding coordinator Laura Jane, took care of every fine detail, and together with Lisa, Dan, Managers, receptionist, dining room waiters, bar tenders and room attendents, everything was spot on. There was a large amount of decorations to place in the garden room, but all the Disney decorations were in correct places, and the room looked beautiful. The three course meal was presented with detail and attention, with plenty of potatoes and veg. The children catered for, whilst adults ate starters, so the children were not left waiting. The seating area close to the pagoda, where the marriage took place was just what our Son and Daughter in law had visioned, and they had big smiles all day/evening. This was all helped by the beautiful weather, attentive staff, and good organisation. We would definitely recommend the Webbington Hotel and Spa to others for their wedding day. A very BIG “Thank You” from us all.
Dear Julia D., Thank you for choosing Webbington Hotel & Spa as a place where to celebrate your son's and daughter-in-law special day. Our Edwardian Manor hotel located near local attractions such as Weston-Super-Mare or Cheddar Gorge offers an unforgettable atmosphere for special events like this. We take pride in our team's passion and effort at the Hotel to make sure that every wedding is an idyllic, pleasant and unforgettable experience for our guests.

"Wedding Day"
My sons name is Richard Bassnett! So not the best start to my son's wedding. Also when asked if possible to pop baby's bottle in a microwave - there are no microwaves in the hotel, apparently! However after further deliberation a jug of hot water was provided. A few pointers - if children are all sat on one table, perhaps the waiting staff could have thought to remove all the glassware? If favours are provided for everyone then they should all be put on the table. If flowers are delivered early and you say you will water them, then do so. If there is a problem with the bill perhaps taking the bride & groom to one side after the wedding to discuss rather than two minutes before the actual ceremony. Amongst many other niggles, if card machine breaks then, unfortunately, guests will head to another bar to pay, a little understanding from staff, security etc wouldn't go amiss. My point to the Webbington is, if you can't staff two weddings with a professional attitude then don't book two on the same day. My son & daughter in law admittedly only had a small budget wedding but they should still have been made to feel special. Shabby & shoddy approach. I won't be recommending to friends.
"Nice room"
I stayed here as part of a walking group. My room was No.16 which was very difficult to access as the hotel is on a hill and I had to negotiate lots of heavy doors and flights of stairs. The staff were friendly and the room a good size for a single room. The food was generally good with lots of choice at breakfast. I didn't use the pool but the gym was good. My room was next to the extractor vent which was quite noisy but only came on just before breakfast and stopped after dinner so did not disturb my sleep. The hotel has a pleasant terrace to sit on but I found it very windy during my stay and I could hear the traffic on the M5 motorway thundering past.
Dear JoyceFf, Thank you for your review. We believe our hotel is in a prime location for walking groups – a stone's throw from such natural wonders as Crook Peak and Cheddar Gorge – so I am very pleased you chose us for your adventures. I am delighted to hear had the chance to enjoy our fine food and facilities throughout your stay and made use of our charming terrace, offering spectacular views this time of year. However, I am disappointed that although spacious, you found your room to be in an unsuitable location. It is worth remembering that, where possible, our hotel staff will always look to better accommodate guests should an issue be raised. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing the Webbington Hotel & Spa. We hope you choose us again for future rambles throughout the summer. Kind regards, Joseph Guest Relations
"The perfect wedding"
Having booked our wedding for 2nd March 2018 at The Webbington, the 'Beast-from-the-east' (as it was colloquially known!) blew in and snowed the entire country out, forcing us to postpone. The staff at The Webbington were extremely understanding and obliging in every respect, taking some of the stress out of a potentially awful time. The revised ceremony on 13th May went superbly. Everything ran like clockwork and the staff were courteous, attentive and cheerful. It was a wonderful place to hold our special day, a beautiful ceremony and an excellent meal followed by a superb evening. Very many thanks to each and every member of staff, you were all marvellous.
Dear Ziggy924, Thank you for a delightful review following your wedding with us. We understand how important it is to create idyllic weddings for our guests, which is why it was our pleasure to host your ceremony and offer such flexibility given the circumstances. I am very pleased you found the perfect day for your wedding and had such an amazing time thanks to the efforts of our exceptional staff members. We hope to welcome you both back again soon, perhaps for future events or even just a relaxing a stop-over. Don't forget to book direct for the best rates and available offers.

"Good leisure facilities."
A welcoming hotel with a good pool and spa area. We asked for a quiet room as the motorway is not too far away and the westerly wind blew the sound in. We were given a room at the back of the hotel which was across a court yard and felt quite private. The breakfast was good and plentiful, buffet style. We did not use the restaurant as the bar felt cosier and used by most of the guests. The food on offer was good, beautifully cooked and presented and reasonably priced. We would stay here again if in the area.
Dear Lesley C, Thank you for taking the time to write such an endearing review. Our exceptional staff members will always aim to cater to the needs of each individual guest and I am delighted to hear their efforts made your stay so special. Though our hotel maintains its Edwardian flair, our state of the art facilities indeed provide all the conveniences and comforts to make for a wonderful visit. We hope to welcome you back again soon, perhaps with the opportunity to try the fine cuisine at our amazing Tiark Restaurant. Don't forget to book direct for the best rates and available offers.

Spent two nights here and was given a room with a view of scaffolding, personally these rooms should not be sold at all. Room was dusty, stains on carpet and bathroom mouldy with a crack in the bath. Location is very nice with leisure facilities. Staff are friendly but service during breakfast and dinner was very slow. Needs lots of improvements.
Dear susan050708, Thank you for your review. I would first like to apologise for not meeting your expectations on this occasion. Our acclaimed hotel is usually praised for maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and I am disappointed to hear your experience was hindered due to ongoing developments. The hotel is currently undergoing intense refurbishments to further improve our facilities, which unfortunately means that our otherwise stunning views of the Somerset countryside may be obscured in certain areas. I can assure you that this is not a permanent fixture and we will investigate all issues raised during this time. That said, I am very pleased you had the chance to try our exceptional cuisine and leisure facilities. I hope we have the opportunity to make the necessary improvements in time for another visit. Kind regards, Joseph Guest Relations
"Theft from room"
Unfortunately our room was robbed by a member of staff while we ate breakfast, although the money was repaid as it was proved a key was used to access our room it took over 2 weeks and no offer of compensation or even a refund of our overpriced room was made, the customer service during the investigation was also the worst I have ever suffered and we only received a ‘we are sorry' after I pointed out we had not received an apology and we have been informed they may never find out who went into our room so presumably this could happen again as there are no safes in the room.
The totally unsubstantiated, unjustified, untrue and slanderous allegations made involving loyal members of staff of many years, demands a response. Even though our solicitors are now dealing with those outrageous comments, it must be said that when the ‘report of theft' was made, apologies were made and the situation rectified. However, threats were made that adverse ‘social media entries' would be posted unless compensation was paid. We will not submit to blackmail in this way. The Webbington Hotel ‘room security system' is a state of the art room locking system that is well established and ensures total safety for our guests. There has never been an incident of this type since the installation two years ago.
"not very good"
was not the kind of hotel I was expecting had to walk through hotel and out through a courtyard to get to our room.room was ok scaffolding right outside window not very pleasant and fire door outside the room wedged open with wood wont be staying again
Dear sailorgirlBirmingham, Thank you for your review. I am aware of current renovations happening at specific areas of the hotel, and understand these are vital to further improving our charming Edwardian manor house. That said, we believe each guest is entitled to a delightful stay and I am very sorry yours was hindered on this occasion. I hope you choose to visit us again once works are complete, and enjoy the bedside views how they are intended. Kind regards, Joseph Guest Relations
"A useful stopover for breaking a long car journey north or south and or for local visits"
We stayed here for one night for a wedding held at another venue. Two of our family are in their 90's and after a quick sortie we found the stairs to the superior rooms in the original Edwardian house inaccessible for one family member. Our saving grace was the receptionist who was able to offer us the remaining disabled room the hotel had. Rooms 20 & 21 are ground floor based with car access to the rear of the hotel. The walk from the disabled parking is relatively close and on the level. In actual fact you can reverse and temporarily park within 20-30 metres of the disabled rooms. Access to the main hotel was across a courtyard via double fire exit doors through the conference area and then left into the hotel. The only drawback are the steps up and down to the dining room and breakfast area. At dinner the hotel staff were very kind and accommodating, after dinner they produced a mobile ramp which was of immense use. Sunday breakfast we used the ramp ourselves as staff were serving breakfast . Both the superior rooms were very smart and comfortable with commanding views out over the Somerset Levels. Our only grumbles were the alarmed bedroom doors that go off should the door be left ajar and the bed table lights did not work in room 7 so you could not read in bed - annoying yet easily fixed. The disabled room 21 was well kitted out; a wide hall way to the room door opening fully outward, wet room and WC with support rails. Third grumble - why have a coconut mat at the entrance to where disabled rooms are located making it a slips and trip hazard? It made it hard for our disabled family member to walk over and negotiate the door threshold, on a walker, and the cigarette butts around the mat were not nice. Again minor issues but noted by guests. Facilities overall were pretty good, dinner from a la carte menu was very enjoyable, a varied choice of wines - sensibly priced. Breakfast - self service for full English is perhaps one of the best we have had for some time. All in all aside from the grumbles we have raised - we had a very good overnight stay. When we return to visit our family in Weston we will stay at the Webbington rather than use one of the main hotels on the sea front.
Dear 21stCPragmatist, Thank you for such a detailed review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel & Spa. Your valuable insights and first-hand accounts will prove vital in the process of developing our facilities to better accommodate all our guests. We work hard to ensure each guest feels comfortable and free to explore all the exceptional services we have to offer, so I am delighted to hear you found our hotel accessible and well suited to your needs.

We will be sure to look into the issues raised regarding room 7 and the entrance to the disabled rooms, and look forward to welcoming you back for your trips to Weston. Kind regards, Joseph Guest Relations
"Our wedding"
We booked the Webbington for our wedding over 2 years ago and finally the date arrived on the 21st April 2018. I cannot begin to praise the staff at the hotel enough, especially our wedding coordinator Lisa. Throughout our meetings and pre planning we were put at ease and made to feel comfortable and the day was as perfect as we could imagine. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed their stay and the food was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble and we will forever be greatful for the best day of our lives.
Dear Frosty1984001, Thank you for such a complimentary review following your stay. It is wonderful to hear we were able to make your wedding so incredible. We live and breathe weddings, and understand how important careful planning and coordination is for such a special day.

We hope you have the chance to visit us again soon and enjoy more of the exceptional services our hotel has to offer. Kind regards, Joseph Guest Relations
"Lovely hotel"
Stayed here for the weekend with a friend and we were really surprised at the value for money. Originally we booked a standard room but as it was cold we were upgraded to an "Executive room". Honestly, spend the extra and get an executive room! It's like a home from home and so cosy. The restaurant was expensive and the food wasn't to our taste but we had some lovely bar food for a very reasonable price. The spa facilities were lovely and Sue Gale is fantastic and reasonably priced for treatments. Overall I would return to this hotel.
Dear Brizzle1236, Thank you for such a lovely review. We feel that the exceptional comfort and quality of service we provide at our Edwardian country hotel is indeed great value for money and I am very pleased you feel the same. Though the restaurant wasn't to your taste, I'm delighted to hear you discovered some lovely meals at our cosy Webbington Hotel Bar. I will be sure to pass your compliments on to Sue at the spa and hope to welcome you back for another stay in one of our gorgeous executive bedrooms. Kind regards, Joseph Guest Relations

"Wedding venue and accommodation for guests"
We booked the Webbington for a wedding and had a fantastic day. The staff were excellent and everything ran smoothly and according to plan. We were able to tweak the package we chose by adding some of our own food for the buffet. The in house DJ was good although he had an easy job with getting people on the dance floor as many of our party were dance loving Brazilians! We used the venues florist too - The secret garden in Axbridge - amazing! Many of our guests (at least 40) stayed overnight and enjoyed a generous hot and/or cold buffet breakfast. We would definitely recommend as a wedding venue at an affordable price!
Dear Hoodycat, Thank you for such a lovely review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel & Spa. I am delighted to hear you had such a fantastic wedding with us.

"Family Wedding"
Stayed just the one night, however, I had stayed at the hotel before. The quality of the 'Wedding breakfast' and the service was outstanding. The food was excellent and the staff efficient and outstanding.
Dear chriscaine, Thank you for taking the time to leave such an endearing review. It is wonderful to hear from a frequent visitor who values the outstanding efforts of our service staff as well as the quality and excellence of our food. We are always set to exceptionally high standards and I will be sure to pass your complements on to the chef. We look forward to welcoming you back for future visits, and many more great breakfasts. Kind regards, Joseph Guest Relations
"Quirky hotel with excellent staff"
We have been to this hotel twice in the last couple of months, we last went a couple of weeks ago, it was my husbands birthday, and they upgraded us to a beautiful room. The staff are excellent, nothing is too much trouble, the reception staff were outstanding and very welcoming, and we can say the same for the restaurant staff. We ate in the restaurant and the food was absolutely lovely. The hotel is quirky, little corridors going off everywhere, and quite old, but we liked that it was different from the usual square hotels. The hotel is good value for money, both times we have been to this hotel we have got a good deal. We haven't used the pool yet, so can't comment on that. It is out of the way a little, but driving distance to lots of places. Congratulations to the wonderful staff, keep doing what you are doing and we will be back.
Dear Susan S, Thank you for your lovely review. I am delighted to hear you found consistently exceptional quality of service at our extraordinary Edwardian hotel. Our staff work hard to provide such outstanding hospitality and we will be sure to commend them on both their skill and dedication to guests.

"Exceeded our expectations. "
We needed a relaxing break , and that's exactly what we got in this hotel . First impressions were polite , professional staff as soon as we arrived . Our room was as listed , standard double and was , functionally and comfortable . It was a little trek to get to it , and if you are not able to navigate the upstairs and downstairs, I would definitely advise staff prior to the visit . The swimming pool area and gym are a definite bonus , easily reached from the rooms . The leisure staff make you feel welcome and you feel comfortable using the facilities. The bar area provides the perfect location for reasonably priced drinks and bar food . Which I have to say was of a quality that we decided to eat there on both evenings . Freshly prepared and nicely presented . All I would say , is keep up with maintenance of this beautiful building . It's a shame about some of the slightly unsightly extensions , but I would think the rooms are needed to keep the concern viable . All in all I am happy to recommend . Thanks to all the staff for doing a great job.
Dear sarahhun7, Thank you for taking the time to complement our luxurious country hotel, along with the dedicated staff members who make each experience special.

"Beautiful setting for relaxation"
What a hidden gem! Tucked away in beautiful countryside with stunning views from the terrace. Well equipped gym, lovely pool and sauna and steam room. Staff really welcoming and friendly, nothing too much trouble. The rooms were cosy and very clean, with tv, tea and coffee and hairdryer and toiletries in the bathroom. The restaurant was great value for money with vegetarian and gluten free options available, the chef is very accommodating. Delicious meal. Breakfast was buffet style, everything you could want (missing hash browns) for Full English or continental, kippers and omelettes available to order. Spotlessly clean. Do ask for help with your luggage if offered, our room was a trek up and down stairs! Will be back here, fantastic value for money.
Mel_Abc, Thank you for such a delightful review following your stay.

"Very welcoming and just like the photos"
This hotel is a little of the beaten track but ideal if you want a quiet weekend away from it all. Didn't get time to use the spa but had a quick look round and wish we had. Friendly, clean with a good breakfast so what more could you ask for, for the price.
Dear Karen A, Thank you for your review. I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay at our spacious Edwardian manor hotel. We are lucky to be surrounded by little more than the tranquility of nature and I'm glad to hear you found a peaceful break with us, at stress-free prices.

"Great food and service"
We stayed for just one night on a short touring break. We were amazed at both the speed of service and excellence of the food. We had a three course dinner served in its entirety in 1 hour 10 minutes and all three courses were superb. Breakfast was excellent too. The room was unspectacular but perfectly acceptable - a tight fit with a giant bed but very comfortable. More choice on the real ale front would have been good but the main criticism was the hotel was a shade cold - another time I am sure that would not be an issue.
Dear Kim W, Thank you for such an endearing review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel & Spa. Our professional chefs use only the finest local ingredients to create their superb dishes; making the Tiark one of the top restaurants Weston-Super-Mare has to offer. I am very pleased to hear you had an excellent time with us and I'll be sure to commend the restaurant staff on their efforts. Thanks again for taking the time to write your review. We are always looking for ways to improve the guest experience and your insights are vital to that process. Don't forget to book direct for the best rates and available offers, either through our website or by calling the hotel. Kind regards, Joseph Guest Relations
"Just OK"
This hotel really is in the middle of nowhere with nothing nearby. Reception staff very friendly and helpful but a very long and difficult walk to annex where rooms are. Loads of stairs and doors to manoeuvre with suitcases. Don't know how people with disabilities go on. Room ok, nothing special and horrible view over flat roofs. Bar very pricey but wedrove into village of Axbridge to nice pub for drinks and food. Breakfast very good. Didn't use leisure facilities but looked nice. Would not return
Dear janeWestYorkshire, Thank you for the review following your stay. I am happy to hear you were greeted by our friendly, dedicated staff. The Webbington Hotel & Spa is indeed a country hotel, located on the western half of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The hotel has idyllic scenery right on its doorstep, and the M5 allows access to many towns and villages, including the renowned seaside location of Weston-Super-Mare. The hotel is more than happy to make amendments for guests who would otherwise have difficulty navigating our Edwardian manor building and is often commended on its great value for money. I am sorry to hear you did not have the outstanding experience we look to provide our guests, and we hope you decide to give us another shot in future. Thank you again for your feedback. Kind regards, Joseph Guest Relations
"Edwardian character"
This is not a modern hotel, so avoid if you expect streamlined access to everything, chrome and glass everywhere. You will need to walk up and down small and full flights of stairs, and there may be the odd frayed carpet or two. But the building has character, the food is good, and the staff helpful. Value for money.
Dear Josquine, I am very glad to hear you enjoyed the charming Edwardian character of our country hotel. We count ourselves lucky having a real piece of history in the idyllic Somerset countryside. I am pleased to hear you had the chance to meet some of our friendly staff members and enjoy the local organic produce prepared by our acclaimed chefs. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

"Interesting"
This hotel was a good find. Friendly welcome at reception. Comfortable room although the shower pressure was a little lacking. An interesting hotel with an intriguing history. Good facilities including access to the spa for guests. The restaurant was very good and the food excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also very good. I would certainly recommend this hotel.
Dear David B, Thank you for your review. I am very happy to hear you found us as well as a warm welcome upon arrival. The hotel was indeed once an attractive Edwardian manor, and the surrounding area is steeped in history dating back to the Neolithic era.

"Very good value. Amazing actually."
Stayed here before and it was fine, but nothing to write home about. However, we stayed there again this week and what a transformation. I always thought that this hotel was quite close to being excellent and it seems that during the time since my last visit they have indeed made it excellent. Not greedy on room rate AND unlike the current fashion for hotels doing room only and charging extra for breakfast, this place includes it. Lovely room, great breakfast and the staff were friendly and helpful. I hope they keep up the good work. One point. If you find stairs a chore, there are countless short flights of stairs to get to most rooms so bear that in mind. RECOMMENDED.
Dear Steve H Thank you for your recent review and it was a pleasure to welcome you back to Webbington Hotel for your most recent stay. We sincerely appreciate all your comments and will ensure these are passed on to the staff and management for their information. I do hope we will have the pleasure of welcoming you back again in the near future. Kind regards, Jamie Munn Guest Relations Manager
"An amazing experience"
We visited the best western for a reunion meeting. I am physically disabled and we have found it difficult in other hotels for my needs to be met. Definitely not at this hotel. I had phoned to make the booking and I told them of my difficulties. On my arrival the staff member reception could not have been more helpful. I was asked three times whether he could take my luggage and i found that the hotel had placed us in a delightful room which had our own parking space The room was extremely clean and there were complimentary items available. I did ask for extra milk and this was treated by the staff as a joy and no problem. We ate in the restaurant. The food was extremely tasty but I think it was microwaved as the vegetables wasn't as fresh as they could have been. This hotel made me feel so special that I was quite tearful with the help that was provided. I can truthfully say that we haven't experienced such superb service in other hotels we have stayed in. The webbington is in an amazing location and if the webbington would have us back We will be visiting it again soon. If you have a disability this is the hotel for you. There are disabled access but it is important to share this information with the hotel so they can provide for any needs you may have. There are some stairs but there are other routes that can be used. I would like to extend a big thank you to all the staff who cared for us during our stay. The Manager of this hotel has an amazing team behind them. Hope any one who goes to this hotel has a great stay. Kind regards Karen Kent

"Long weekend"
This hotel is full of character and is a great location for all the local attractions. We were greeted by very helpful and happy staff. The room was fantastic, very clean and large with a big shower. We visited all the local attractions and more as we were very central. We ate both evening meals from the bar menu and had a great breakfast too. Good facilities and nice surrounding made this a very pleasant stay. Would return.

"1 night stay with children"
Hotel is characterful and charming with great facilities. The breakfast is standard hotel... nothing special. (No garnish on the kippers and v. Bitter tasting coffee) Initial complications with our checkin and room type but all dealt with well and upgrade given. Room was lovely and spacious with balcony. Shame the balcony was covered in beer bottle tops and cigarette ends. - great for the kids. (Obviously not cleaned) and the doors leading out were so stiff we assumed they were locked. - part of the character apparently. Pool was lovely and very clean - pretty cold mind! Didn't eat in the bar/ restaurant but menu looked nice and lounge area very appealing. Grounds could do with some work but maybe due to the time of year Overall - good location, good staff with nice aesthetics even if some may call it dated.
Dear Paul H, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa.

However, I was surprised to read your comments regarding the balcony and am sorry for this, I will most certainly pass your feedback on. It was also wonderful to read that you liked the countryside location of our hotel and that our staff were good. We have an array of complimentary leisure facilities for our guests, which include the swimming pool, steam room, sauna and gym.

"Good hotel"
Was at the hotel for Ymca conference. Staff were very good but at times a bit nervous. Rooms wow, meals were well prepared. Only qualm was Why a £10 limit on the card transactions the bar was a nice environment but again bar staff were unsure about people's ages not serve them then ask someone after. However would return

"Average at best"
The location of the hotel is beautiful. Reception and bar area also create a lovely welcoming area. Once you go past the main entrance and into your room well, it's a different story. I actually want to rate the hotel 2 stars as I'm so tired. The rooms are not sound proof. If the person in the room above you even breathes the blooming floorboards will creak. Everytime they move, you will hear them. You'll also hear people in the corridors walking about. The rooms are poorly decorated, creams and beiges which dates them. They don't feel clean. There is dust between plugs, along the head board on top of pictures etc. I'm not usually one to be fussy or even look for dust but it doesn't feel right here. The bedroom window was open on arrival (I think because the rooms are so hot) and so I had a few bugs waiting on me when I arrived. The window is ground level to grass and bushes - green view in picture. This also means it's noisy in the morning with birds, but some may like that. Personally I don't at 5 am (not the hotels fault). Bar food was alright. The Nachos were £4.50 for a massive plate. They were really good and really generous with the cheese. The quacamole was weird, definitely not fresh. Other food was decent - for the price we paid I'd even stretch and say good. Would I stay here again? Probably not.
Dear alexclare2, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I was pleased that you thought the countryside views from our hotel were beautiful and that you thought our reception and bar areas were lovely and welcoming. However, it was disappointing to read your comments regarding your guestroom and I am sorry for the noise disturbances you encountered. Our housekeeping team take pride in the high standards of cleanliness throughout our hotel, so I was surprised to read your comments and I will most certainly pass your feedback onto the management team to look into. I was glad you enjoyed the bar food and was pleased you thought the portions were generous, however, I would also like to assure you that all the food we serve is freshly prepared by our team of chefs. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations
"Some good points but disappointing in several respects"
We were at the Webbington as part of a large group booking. Access to the hotel. The hotel would definitely not be recommended for those with limited mobility – access via the main entrance is tricky even for the able-bodied, with a short flight of steps and two hard-to-open doors. With suitcases, we struggled. Moreover, as other reviewers have noted, there are no lifts to bedrooms. Location – the hotel is in a rural position, quite isolated if one were to be negative. The hotel has no grounds to walk in; if you want a walk your only option is the narrow local roads which don't have footpaths. The nearest large town, say Weston super Mare, is several miles drive – it takes about twenty minutes. We were in the annex on the second floor. Our room was adequate in terms of facilities but more storage space would have been appreciated. Sound insulation between rooms was poor – we could clearly hear next door's conversation on one side and the TV from the room on the other side. The window wouldn't close fully and so there was a constant drone of traffic from the nearby M5 during the day. On the plus side there were plenty of power points, the free WiFi worked well and the courtesy tray was very good. We both thought the lighting was inadequate for reading. The décor was quite pleasant and reasonably modern. The beds were very firm – too firm for my wife. The bathroom was large and had been refurbished fairly recently. The shower (a Bristan) was the fixed overhead type, not thermostatic but easy to control. Apart from the last morning there was always plenty of hot water. Although there was a warning sticker over the wash basin, the hot water was in my view dangerously hot - the temperature needs to be reduced at source. Room servicing was very good – the bathroom in particular was kept spotless by the cleaning staff. Heating was odd – it was off in the morning when it was needed and came on in the afternoon when we were usually not in the room. Having said that the room generally felt warm. Food – I am sad to say was mediocre. There was no fresh fruit at all. The breakfast buffet was never hot – warm at best. The bacon was consistently dry and hard and the fried eggs looked most unappetising. At dinner there was no main course fish option during our three-day stay. The desserts were uninspiring – there were no sauces for example. The ice-cream, however, was very good. Drinks: a large glass of Merlot from the bar was £6.50. A pint of draft cider was about £4.40. An example of a dinner menu: 1) Soup or Caesar salad or smoked salmon terrine. 2) Steak and ale pie or roast pork or vegetable lasagne. 3) Cheesecake or millionaires bar or ice cream. Dining experience: there were no table menus on the first evening so we were left in the dark as to what was on offer and had to make a quick decision as the courses were being served. The table service was a mixture of self-service and waiter service: starters were served; main course and dessert were self-service with the maître d' controlling access table by table. The staff were all pleasant and helpful with one rather surly exception. Allowing for the fact that it must be a challenge to cater for a large group of guests, we nevertheless felt that the Webbington, particularly in respect of catering, fell below expected standards.
Dear Doryhunk, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I was surprised to read your comments regarding the access to our hotel and I am sorry If you found difficulty in the short flight of steps upon your arrival.

Our hotel is located in the heart of the Somerset countryside, which has easy access to the motorway and other routes. I was surprised to read your comments regarding the hotel grounds and local surroundings, as there are many walking spots and attractions nearby, including Crook Peak, the Mendips and Cheddar Gorge. The comfort of our guests is important, so I was pleased that you thought the facilities in your guestroom were good and will most certainly pass your feedback on regarding the storage space. It was also great to read that you were pleased with the free wi-fi, plentiful power points, and good quality courtesy tray. I was also glad that you thought the room servicing was very good and that the bathroom was kept very clean, I will pass your compliments onto the housekeeping team. It was disappointing to read your comments regarding the food served in our restaurant and I will most certainly pass your feedback onto the restaurant team to look into.

"Mixed opinions"
This was our 2nd stay, we previously stayed Sept '17. The hotel room this time was so small that once our cases were opened we couldn't walk around the bed easily. The bath/shower was under a low sloping ceiling, try washing your hair in there, logistically very difficult. The hotel appears to turn the heating off during the day (freezing!) so rooms are equipped with fan heaters (very loud). Breakfast buffet was a complete shambles compared to September, ruining out of items, bad hygiene practices placing fresh cooked food on top of food that had been sitting out for over an hour rather than doing a rotation. Only one toaster for about 100 people! The evening meals...the only thing I can say is that we can't believe the chef actually tasted any of the meals....awful, absolutely awful. On one occasion I ate nothing, went to order a bar meal just after 9pm to be told that room service and bar food ceases at 9pm. I understand that we were there with a big group, but, awful, absolutely awful.
Dear f00die51, Thank you for the review. The comfort of our guests is important, so I was disappointed to read your comments regarding your guestroom. We like to encourage our guests to bring any issues to the managers attention, in the hope that they can resolve these at the time, or potentially offer an alternative guestroom. The heating system is monitored, however as you mention, if you are not warm enough, we do have portable heaters available to ensure you are in a comfortable environment. I was surprised that your breakfast experience was not as enjoyable as it has been in the past and I would like to apologise for this. I would like to reassure you that the health and safety regulations are taken seriously, and I will most certainly pass all of your feedback onto the management team and chefs. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations
"Expensive for what it is"
Well, Arrival and check in, were ok, did arrive at 21:50 on Friday night. Found my room in a dated building, would suit the 1950's the room a single could be better thought, so the bathroom door could open fully rather than hitting the bed. So the shower options, A: really hot no power or B: really cold loads of power. The room has a draft, I can tell by the way the cobwebs blow around the ceiling. So breakfast, could say much as arrived for breakfast at 07:30 BUT not served until 08:00, yet at check in I'm told 07:00 Now back ready for night two and let's see how this goes. However as I asked about Sunday breakfast, again not starting till 08:00 (too late to change hotels now) a packed lunch was offered. All in all over £150 for two night single bed, in a dirty out dated room seems excessive, and when Dick Turpin robbed people at least he had the decency to wear a mask.
Thank you for the review. I was pleased that your arrival and check-in experience was good. Our hotel is an original Edwardian manor house, which presents timeless features and architecture, of which our guests often compliment. However, I am sorry if it was not to your personal taste. I was disappointed to read your comments regarding your guestroom and I am sorry for any problems you came across, I will pass your feedback on for relevant staff to investigate. The comfort of our guests is important, and we like to encourage our guests to report any issues they may find at the time, in the hope that we can ensure you are in a comfortable during your stay. It was surprising to read your comments regarding breakfast and I am sorry if there was a slight delay, however I am pleased that you were offered a packed lunch to take with you as an alternative. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa, your feedback is valued and has been passed onto the management team. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations

"New Year break"
Once we had sorted out the initial room change problems, settled in ok Rooms are very small, but everything clean and tidy, housekeeping staff very pleasant and helpful. Had a couple of issues with things in the room, and though reported these were not addressed. Also a massive amount of noise from the couple upstairs between about 2 and 4am on the first night, which isn't the hotels fault but does leave a bit of a bad taste. After that, a very good stay, especially the New Year gala dinner, all absolutely lovely, very impressed with the food for a mass catered event of this type. Used the gym and sauna most days, a strange layout but well equipped. Overall a good stay, the niggles didn't spoil it but there is room for improvement in some areas

"3 night break"
Greeted by friendly reception staff. We had room 241 nice roomy bedroom, bathroom clean and shower over bath that worked well. Bed was nice and comfortable and real oak lovely furniture in room. Flat screen TV, kettle with tea and coffee provided. Now for the not so good points, try booking a room on the ground if you have difficulty moving around. There is no lift and lots of stairs to negotiate. The nearest big town is approximately 12 miles away. Ideally suited for walking holidays. Breakfast, I was looking forward to smoked haddock as this was provided on a previous visit. I like to eat a healthy diet and owing to my age must stay clear off all fried food. Breakfast was in the main dinning area but disappointed that smoked haddock or porridge was off menu that also included hard boiled eggs. They did provide a good selection of cereals and tinned fruit. Being retired travel a lot and stay in many hotels, must admit this is the first hotel that we have stayed in that does not provide any of the above for breakfast. The evening meal is very bland and produced pre prepared in bulk. You have a choice of three options served with boiled potatoes and vegetables. We had boiled potatoes sliced in a runny type sauce? I would add that if you enjoyed school dinners back in the 60,s you will love this Hotel for food. We decided we could not face the Sunday dinner and ended up spending an enjoyable roast meal at the local Inn together with 2 pints of real ale. Sheer bliss.
Dear Keith W, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your 3-night stay at the Webbington Hotel & Spa.

We encourage our guest to advise us of any special requirements, to ensure they are comfortable during their stay and so we can allocate rooms which best suit our guests needs. I was surprised to read your comments regarding breakfast and am sorry for this, although I was pleased you thought our selection of fruit and cereals were good.

"Back Again 2018"
Another visit to West Western this time the room l stayed in was comfortable, but had an issue at breakfast time because l was part of a group the breakfast room was altered . due to this choice was limited which I accepted but eggs was available but only fried and scrambled but as l cannot have fried or scrambled .I asked the manager for a boil egg his reply was NO. To me this showed a lack of good customer relations and not a very good example for promoting Best Western hotels .

"Excellent stay at Webbington"
We stayed here for 2 nights for a special relaxing break. Lovely room, very good food in restaurant, service friendly and helpful, good facilities, used the sauna and steam room.

"Excellent Christmas Break"
Stayed for a 4 day Christmas Break, including organised Bridge sessions. There was a separate Ramblers Group staying. The Christmas aspect was kept low key, a good Christmas lunch was served with no over the top razzmattaz. Apart from that the meals were good, buffet breakfast excellent. Very satisfactory for those requiring a companionable holiday.

"Lost its way, old and tired!"
Stayed here for a quick stop over on way back from Heathrow. The hotel was very empty despite it being Christmas week. The hotel was cold and damp and the rooms had windows blackened with the damp. Communal areas in the bar were unkempt and the hotels generally feels 'out of date'. A couple and a family both asked if they could order bar food but sit in the restaurant where it was warmer. both were turned down on the basis that it was reserved for residents dining 'a la carte' despite it being empty. The staff were very friendly and professional. We all went to bed at 8pm as it was too cold to socialise in the bar areas. you have to cross an uncovered courtyard to get to the rooms and get wet in the process if its raining. Breakfast was disturbed by a fire alarm caused by a 'shower in one of the rooms'.
Dear Joe M, Thank you for the review. I was very pleased to read that you found our staff to be very friendly and professional, they will be delighted to hear your compliments. Our hotel is traditionally decorated, in keeping with the Edwardian period property. I am sorry if the classical décor was not to your personal taste and I would like to apologise if you felt cold. I am also sorry if you were disturbed at breakfast due to an unexpected fire alarm. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations

Although hotel very quiet staff were very attentive and attended to our needs as if the most important there. The drive to the hotel was along a country lane and on our arrival we were greeted by the receptionist, who explained all of the facilities.

"Great Christmas Night Out and good value."
We attended the Christmas night with Majesty (Queen tribute band) and stayed overnight in a 2nd floor Courtyard room which overall was a great night out and stay. I've paid more and got a lot less before elsewhere so well done. The Christmas meal was as good as we've had anywhere else for mass catering so must have improved/got things right since the previous reviews. The entertainment was great, my party thoroughly enjoyed it, great night out for the money overall. I could moan that the bar was pricey but it is no different to any other such event, we could have had warning the bar was cash only. The main building still keeps its old character which I like so please don't change. For a 3* the room was 'compact' but hey for a 1 night out, clean and comfortable enough. Our friends were lucky enough to get a larger room. The only negative from a drunk male is the toilet seat didn't stay up, what an inconvenience! The breakfast was great, better than anywhere else I've been considering the B&B price. Even decent bread for the toaster. Tried the gym and sauna which was amazingly well equipped so what more does anyone want in the price.
Dear Tyke1958, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your attendance at one of our most recent Christmas Party Night's at the Webbington Hotel & Spa.

"The ABSOLUTE WORST - ALL management should be fired immediately"
We booked our 'Vegas - Casino night' themed company Christmas party here. The entire event - from start to finish - was an utter disaster. First, the postcode on the website takes you to the back entrance. There is no sign indicating that you should go elsewhere, NOR are there any other signs that direct you away from the disabled / service entrance (backup only out of there) towards the spa entrance. Meanwhile, look out for the six inch deep potholes and absolute mess and rubbish everywhere. Once we ultimately arrived at the spa entrance, no one was there to help. We made our way - no signs again - to reception, through a FREEZING cold series of passageways. After check-in, we were informed that the restaurant was closed, but we could get a late lunch at the bar. There was no one at the bar. All guests in the area looked unhappy in the stony silence, freezing cold and lack of staff. After a few minutes, a staff member appeared to take our order. When I asked what the soup was for the day, she said, 'I really wouldn't know'. After an awkward 5 second stare-off, I said, 'Could you find out please.' She huffed off. (This is at 2pm on 09 December - very short lady with long hair.) After ordering soup, a sandwich and 2 teas, we sat down to assess the situation. Shabby, poor staff, dirty.. it's all terrible by any standards. I almost cried and said we should cancel the entire thing, but wished to remain positive. 25 minutes later, our food arrived. 'Terrible' would be a compliment. Then we went to our room. After reading the reviews (in tears over our dreadful lunch), we feared it would be freezing - it wasn't! Bonus!! And we did have a lovely view of the laundry facilities, bins and the window into one of the 'ballrooms' being set up (Courtyard room - 113). And the windows leaked - a lot. And you can hear everything everywhere in the near vicinity. I'm skipping a lot here... BUT - we got to our table at the seating time - food arrived maybe 60-75 minutes after seating, and after asking three times what was happening. The starters were diabolical. Pate was absolutely disgusting. The mushrooms were indescribably horrible. I understand mass catering is difficult, but... sorry, this was beyond acceptable. The mains were tiny, the veg overcooked. They lost our dessert order and then the staff argued with several people over what they'd ordered. The band started after the arguing over the desserts was finished. After 45 min or so, I wondered where the 'casino' area was. (Again - no signs anywhere or instruction from the organisers.) After a brief walk, I wandered into a room I thought was a storage area - it was stacked with tables (no signs) and freezing (all doors left open). There was a total of 3 casino tables - so room for maybe 30 people for an event that had 300 minimum - in a 2C degrees room because all the doors were left open, with someone who looked like... someone you wouldn't argue with - taking CASH only bets. Make your own mind up about where the cash ended up. We pre-ordered several bottles of wine, which was fine. But the bar was cash-only (would have been helpful to know beforehand). At the end of the night, the lights came on and band stopped. We were a large group, so a bit longer getting our things together. One of the bouncers came over and was confrontational and aggressive with one of the members of our party (as a sober witness, I can testify to this). After following us out and being verbally aggressive, one of the other bouncers admitted that one 'sometimes he does that' (tall, white male with piercings). Unnecessary!! THEN then the hotel bar closed for 30 min, only to open for 30 min and ask us to leave again. Literally the worst event I have ever been to WITHOUT exception. Never EVER EVER again. The whole hotel is disgustingly grubby with staff who do not care at all. Please do not even respond to this, as it will only make you look worse. I now have to host a second event this Friday to make up for it.
Dear Cathy T, Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear your feedback following your recent experience at our hotel. However, I was surprised to read your comments as we received lots of positive feedback from other party guests. I would like to assure you that your feedback has been taken seriously, and our management team are looking into this. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations
"What a dump"
This is all purely my opinion, but I wanted to say something in case you were considering visiting this establishment - This hotel is tired, dirty, overpriced, badly managed and has inexperienced and very rude staff. It doesn't look all that bad when you first walk in. Nice little reception area (albeit with an overwhelming stench of chlorine) and a fairly pleasant chap on the front desk. Once you get deeper in to the bowels of the hotel though, you start to notice so much that is wrong. The rooms were freezing cold, the shower was dribbly and unclean, the widows were leaky and damp.... don't even get me started on how dirty the kettle was inside. Ugh. Still, at least I got a lovely view of a transit van out of the window. To briefly touch on the food. I mean, wow. You'd get better quality ingredients at a concentration camp. The pate was old and grey, it tasted bad. Really bad. Who ever made it either didn't taste it first, or did taste it and is a moron. Goodness knows how the carrots managed to retain their shape after what I can only presume was several days in the pot. The meat was way over cooked, under seasoned, cold and small. The service itself consisted of being barked at - ‘lamb or turkey?', quickly followed by slamming a measly portion of matter on to my cheap, cold plate. The vegetables took a long tome to arrive, post meat delivery. The staff were pushy and rude and the service was slow and painful. The only reason I didn't give one star is that I'm grateful for not having the runs 48 hours after trying the pate. If you can avoid staying here, I'd recommend that you do so. Cheers.
Dear TheChief3791, Thank you for the review. I was surprised to read your comments regarding your recent stay. As you can see from many of our previous reviews, our hotel staff and management team are often highly praised for their friendly, polite and helpful customer service skills. I am sorry if you were not comfortable in your guestroom and that you did not enjoy the food, I would like to assure you that all the food is freshly prepared and cooked by our chefs. Our management team are always at hand to offer their assistance and like to encourage guests to bring any issues to their attention so that they are given the chance to rectify any issues and to ensure that you are comfortable during your stay. Thank you for your feedback, I will most certainly pass it onto the management team to look into. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations
"Christmas weekend break"
My sister and I stayed at the Webbington for 3 nights, which coincided on the saturday, with their Christmas party/cabaret evening. We were unaware of the party arrangement and sneakily asked if we could join in. Jamie helpfully arranged for us to attend at the last minute and what a lovely evening it was. The food was hot and tasty. and the staff worked so hard that evening too. Again the next day Jamie and his colleague came to our rescue and arranged for us to change rooms to a beautiful room, as there was a minor problem with our current room. The staff are very professional and friendly. We particularly want to mention 'Jamie' again to thank him for his helpfulness. This is one of a number of stays at the Webbington, where we have had lovely breaks in a spectacular setting and with fabulous views. Thank you.
Dear Marilyn W, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your recent stay at the Webbington Hotel & Spa. It was wonderful to read that you and your sister had a great stay and that you thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas Party. It was wonderful to read that you found our staff all very friendly, helpful and professional. I was also delighted to hear that our Duty Manager, Jamie, was able to arrange last minute Christmas Party tickets for you and that you thought he was very helpful, he will be thrilled to hear your compliments. As a popular wedding and events venue, it is always wonderful to hear when our guests have had a great time and I was very pleased that you enjoyed an evening of entertainment at our Christmas Party and that the food was hot and tasty. The comfort of our guests is also very important, so I was pleased that Jamie was able to arrange a room change for you and that you were comfortable in your room. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel & Spa, I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back on your next visit to the area.

"Mediocre"
We stayed here for just one night after visiting family locally. It is quite a big hotel with over 100 rooms. The reception was lovely. The lady behind the desk was friendly and welcoming. The old part of the building was quite nice although a bit unsympathetically restored and the modern extensions that were in front did nothing at all to make the place appealing from the outside. Inside it was a busy Saturday night. Although we were tired we decided it would be too noisy to get to sleep so we had a nightcap at the bar. My husband wasn't overly impressed by the lack of real ale but we had a drink and retired to our room. It was towards the back of the old part of the building and at the end of a corridor so not flanked by any other rooms and as far away from the bar and entertaining areas as we could get. That didn't quite stop the noise reaching us but at least the volume wasn't too bad. The room was fairly cold so we did have to switch on the small electric heater that was provided although that didn't make a huge difference. There were some spare blankets in the wardrobe which we were very glad to make use of. The bathroom was small and the light above the washbasin didn't work. It was already midnight so there seemed little point in complaining at that time of night. The worst thing though was that we had asked for a double, rather than a twin, room. What we got was two mattresses that had been ‘zipped' together which resulted in a very uncomfortable ridge in the middle of our ‘double' bed. The mattress was covered only by a sheet, not a mattress protector or any other sort of cushioning to alleviate the effects of the ridge in the middle. We might as well have had two beds instead of one! We had a very uncomfortable night as a result, punctuated by the staggered and raucous returns to neighbouring rooms of other guests up until about 4am. We managed to snatch some short periods of sleep before 7am when we finally gave up and got ready to depart. On the plus side, the breakfast was very good. Plentiful choice of well cooked food and hot or cold beverages. The staff on duty were attentive, polite and helpful. The same lady that checked us in the night before was in reception again to check us out. My husband wondered whether she had time to go home between shifts! We felt bad having to tell her about our disappointment with the room as she and the other staff we met were very nice. Unfortunately that niceness did not quite make up for such a poor nights rest.
Dear DMPridham, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel & Spa. We strive to provide a warm welcome, so it was wonderful to read that you thought our reception area was lovely and that our receptionist was friendly and helpful.

"OUR WEDDING Nigel and Sharon 25th November 2017"
Last year we planned our wedding for march 2017 due to a cardiac arrest of the brides mother who was seriously ill for many months involving a 2 month stay in hospital and a lengthy home recovery my future wife took the decision to postpone our wedding from the original date in March. We were both worried and concerned for her health at this very difficult time. Having already paid a hefty part of the cost of our wedding we were both blown away with the way the Webbington hotel handled this unforeseen event, we were fully expected to be told tough luck you have lost your money, but to our delight and without even asking we were told about a clause for cancellations of weddings in exceptional circumstances which this was classed as. When things had settled down and her health was improving we chose another date for November. Our original wedding planner who has since left the Webbington showed great compassion and understanding to our needs in a difficult time when she took that phone call she will be forever in our debt. Moving on to 25th November 2017 we made it to the webbington to get married sat by our side was the brides mother who is not fully recovered or totally mobile but able to enjoy the day with everyone else. Lucy our new wedding planner was bombarded with requests and our several seating plans changes in the run up to the big day, all these were put into place . We both thought the day was organised well and ran very smoothly and professionally.the Tiak suit was beautifully laid out and flower petals lining the floor as we walked down the aisle Jamie did a awsome job on MC and liaising duties room bookings and dealing with some of our quests request'He is another professional friendly member of the management team organising and liaising with us on the day . The food was of a very high standard as well I heard of no complaints from the guests all I spoke to said it was a fabulous meal it came out piping hot nicely presented and tasty. The waiting staff were quick and efficient too. Same applied to the evening buffet. Breakfast was pretty good also We chose room 10 to stay in for three nights mainly because of the balcony view. This room was very clean and very well presented. Most of my guests were put in the courtyard rooms all commented on the size of the beds and how comfortable they were and were happy with the overall appearance of the rooms.. we had a magical wedding day thanks to the webbington Hotel the whole day was managed brilliantly by lucy and jamie both a credit in there roles in the hotel. Without the compassion of the hotel the day would never of happened on the scale it did MASSIVE THANKS TO YOU ALL to top it all even in November we had bright sunshine just perfect Nigel and Sharon bit of advice to anyone reading this regarding weddings get wedding insurance early you can never tell what going to happen a few months down the line which may be out of your control

"Event failure"
Last night we attended one of the worse managed events ever. It was for a charity white collar boxing event which required black tie dress. When we got into the function room after having a drink in the hotel bar there were hundreds of people in the standing only section with just one man on the bar. The queue for the bar was continually 50 metres long and therefore created a lot of very unhappy people. My husband was talking to someone who was in the vip area and the way they had sectioned it off meant he could not use the disabled toilet without fighting his way in a wheelchair through the hundreds of queuing people. When we could not stand the claustrophobic and angry mob any longer we went through to the hotel bar only to be refused a drink as they were only allowed to serve residents! After a major kerfuffle we managed to get a drink and Some food which wasn't great either. Shortly after (8pm) we left and from what we hear if was a good job we did as it got much worse. On a final note it was mentioned several by hotel staff that it was a private event and not their problem. Surely the fact that the event was in their hotel meant it was very much their problem and responsibility. We certainly will be avoiding any future event held at the Webbington.
Dear Iain J, I would like to offer my apologies following the incident which occurred on Saturday night. The venue was hired by a private organisation; however, I would like to assure you that we do take the safety of people on our property very seriously and our management team are now investigating the incident with the event organisers. If you have any other comments please do not hesitate to contact me via [email protected], or if you would like to return to our hotel in the future please contact me directly. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations

"Exceptional value for money"
Booked an overnight stay after a pre Christmas shopping trip to Cribbs Causeway. Somewhat difficult to locate ,struggled with an old sat nav, but my newish phone got us back on track. Reception check in was smooth and we allocated a nice room (3) which was comfortable and very clean, particularly good shower with Large Bath towels. We had a swim in the pool which again was good. We had pre dinner drinks in the Bar/Lounge area, that area was looking tired and it was quite chilly and lacked atmosphere. The Dinner which was very reasonably priced was not quite to our liking, our fault for potentially ordering the wrong main course which we didn't enjoy. A good english breakfast was cooked to order, It is normally buffet but due to lack of guests it was cooked to order. We also had a full body massage from Sue which was most enjoyable. So overall a good stay ,rather quiet and might struggle for a longer stay .Very well located for exploring Somerset. We booked direct and got an exceptional deal.

"A shame. "
Having driven many times up the M5 and commented “wonder what that hotel is like” we booked for two nights. All I can say is disappointing, the hotel is a little dated and needs a some attention on the cleaning front. Vast amount of small bits of rubbish around the external areas along with cigarette ends. Cobwebs in rooms and breakfast hall (that was pointed out to staff who also commented it was poor). The room was also in need of some attention as shown in the photos attached. Mobile on bath tiles and shower head filthy with scale and mound. Bar food passable for a basic steak meal. Decided not to stay the second night due to the mentioned standards. Such a shame as a great location but in need of some TLC. Pool was good but a strange set up walking through the gym to get to sauna and steam room! Staff were friendly and helpful but in a nutshell sadly let down by the cleanliness In general.
Dear ACKERS74, Thank you for the review. We endeavour to ensure that our guests have a comfortable and pleasant stay, so I was disappointed to read that your stay was not as you had hoped for.

"wedding"
Went to a family wedding. excited at first as I had been to this venue many years previously. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. The rooms used for the wedding were extremely cold and unwelcoming. The bar was makeshift and we sent two drinks back for being flat. The lady working behind the bar could not have cared less and suggested we tried having a lemonade instead of coke! The first course of the meal I had ordered was leak & potato soup. The only thing good about it was it was very hot. Myself and another guest eat it just so we could get some warmth into us. I advised one of the waiters that the room and was cold and was told the room would warm up once the food was out. It did not. the rest of the meal was OK i guess. Overall I would suggest this hotel is in great need for a makeover to bring it up to scratch. Lights in the room for the ceremony not all working and the curtains did not match. Overall giving a cheap look to the whole thing.
Dear Carole_T57, Thank you for the review. I was surprised to read your comments regarding a wedding you attended in November, as our most recent brides and grooms gave us very positive feedback and left with fond memories from their wedding day. However, I would like to apologise if your experience was not as you had expected. We endeavour to ensure that all of our guests have an enjoyable experience at the Webbington Hotel. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and I would like to assure you that your comments have been passed onto the management team. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations
"Beautiful venue for a wedding! "
So we arrived for our friends wedding. The buildings exterior immediately looked absolutely breathtaking. Such beautiful edwardian style beams, look a cottage with multiple extensions haha. Once we stepped inside it was like being taken in to another world. The staff were charming, professional and just perfect. The bedroom served its purpose. The bed was really comfortable, my only complaint if there was one is how thin the walls seem to be. We can hear every noise coming from the couple in the next room, but in an old styles building, it's expected. All in all, highly recommended! And can't wait to stay again.

"Perfect place for a romantic weekend or/and to visit Cheddar, Wookey Caves & Glanstonbury”"
Good value for money, very friendly and professional staff. The breakfast is a buffet so you can eat as much as you like (continental or cooked) we also had dinner and it was amazing (good selection of wines) its only 10/15 minutes drive to Cheddar (caves and gorge) clean room, comfy beds, all day sauna, steam, gym and pool It puzzled me why bad reviews from other travellers "For us it was perfect !!!"

"Excellent customer service and good hotel."
I booked a cheap room on laterooms.com. Before I arrived, the receptionist had upgraded us to a better room which included stunning views of the Somerset hills, all for no extra charge. Great customer service. The hotel is a nice place to stay, well kept and clean, with decent food. I would rate it a 4/5 as a hotel, but 5/5 for overall experience and customer service.

"Perfect Stay"
Perfect location we stayed overnight having spent the day at Cheddar Gorge before visiting Wookey Hole the next day. The view from the hotel is superb as were the facilities within. The rooms were very comfortable with all facilities as advertised. The lounge was excellent as we had our 9 year old grandson with us and perfectly located by the bar and restaurant. Before we sampled the delights of those we headed straight to the indoor pool which was a very good size with plenty of room around it. and so we had one very happy little boy. We dined that evening in the restaurant and had an excellent meal as was breakfast the following morning. Over and above that all the staff were so friendly and helpful it was a delightful stay. Exactly as advertised and described so no complaints at all and if there was I would confidently say the staff would deal with it because nothing was too much trouble.
Dear brianhurley2017, Thank you for such a complimentary review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa, I was delighted that you enjoyed your stay.

"Well- at least it has a view "
Stayed one night before flying to Dublin as we have often seen it from the M5 and thought about staying here. We received a warm welcome on reception from friendly and informative staff. We were on the top floor and our room was spacious but dated unimaginatively decorated . It had all the basics and the view. What you do notice when you walk in and through the lounge area is the strong smell of chlorine from the swimming pool which is a bit overpowering. We had read the reviews of the Tirak restaurant in the hotel so it was a clincher not to eat there. We went to a pub down the road. I won't say any more but worth checking the reviews before making up your mind. I would say however that during breakfast which was standard hotel buffet style,contrary to reviews we had read the staff were great. The orange juice dispenser ran out of juice and the guy who refilled it filled our glasses first for us- most kind and helpful. Our night here was OK but not particularly exceptional. What this place does have going for it is the view across the hills which is lovely even with the M5!

"Amazing hotel "
This hotel is the best one I've ever been to and I had my 16 year old son with me who was at the hotel while I was doing some business else where and he was still allowed to do all of the activities that this hotel had to offer and he got on with the staff very well and anything that he wanted the staff tried their hardest to get them and if he ran out of any products they would just give them him and even thought I wasn't there for most of the time when I did have spare time I went swimming and used the steam room which I have to say it's amazing with your breathing and the swimming pool has got amazing views from the windows as you swim which over looks all the countryside and I really look forward to coming back here again another time

"Excellent stay for our bellringers - great care for our celiac members"
We have just returned from 4 nights at this hotel which was a base for our group of bellringers. My friend and I decided to remain in the hotel and enjoy the facilities. The pool is lovely, large and with good views over the countryside as you swim. The main problem is that the changing rooms which are away from the pool and the fact that after a swim I like to use the steam room [which was excellent] but had to walk in a wet swimming costume through the very large gym. By the time I returned to the pool changing room my towell was very wet. I do realise that this is an orginal design problem but does spoil the overall enjoyment of the experience. I had two excellent treatments, the facial with Anna was especially good but I also enjoyed my hot stone massage with Sue. We were very impressed with the care taken for two of our party who are celiac - the food choices were explained and their special needs well catered for. The staff were all very helpful and thanks to Lucy for sorting out our stay. We did find the dining room very cold in the evenings as well as the lounge and library but we were given a warm welcome by all the staff - thanks to everyone.

"Best, Best Western"
This is the best Best Western I have stayed in to date. The girl on reception last night was really pleasant as was the chap on the leisure club desk. Both were genuinely pleasant without being false. The room is great, restaurant is good and the hotel is clean and tidy. One superb asset which isn't advertised enough is the leisure club. The facility is fantastic. If you're after a hotel with a decent gym or pool then this is it! Lots of hotels advertise themselves as a spa then, when you arrive, you realise that they have put a pool in a conservatory and used a special camera lens to fool you into thinking it was big enough to swim in. The same trickery is often used for 'gym' photos too. Clever use of mirrors sometimes fools you into thinking that the gym isn't a running machine shoved into a cupboard. This place though is the real thing. I would have no hesitation in returning or recommending this hotel to others. I am here through work but would happily return with my family for a nice night away.

"Pamper treat"
Well I must admit the treatments were amazing and well worth the price. The massage was fantastic! Sue is experienced, friendly and welcoming. She did wonders for my shoulders, neck and back. The facial was lovely. Thoroughly Enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend! The hotel itself in parts is a little tired (pool area), decor, furniture in changing rooms need replacing/repairing. No slippers and you do have to walk through the gym (which is well equipped) to get to the sauna and steam rooms. Bar / food and views were lovely. Staff were very friendly and welcoming too.
Dear Sharon M, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your recent spa break at the Webbington Hotel & Spa.

"Disappointing stay"
Visited this hotel for a wedding and stayed over, as a wedding guest it was amazing, really great day but from a paying hotel customer point of view it was very underwhelming. On at least 2 occasions the bar outside the function room was unmanned so we had to walk through the hotel to the main bar to get a drink, the bar ran out of certain things and only restocked when asked to by guests at the wedding. The food was ok but cold, I understand it's hard to get food out to that many people successfully but most other weddings seem to manage it, one of the guests on the table mentioned this but was met with a shrug from the waiting staff and as it was a wedding didn't want to make a scene. In the morning we had breakfast which again was disappointing, Sausages were overcooked and dry as a bone, bacon was undercooked and fatty, fried bread was awful, the toast had to be put through the toaster twice to get any colour, the most annoying thing though was that we were asked 3 times for our names to make sure we were on the list for a payed brekkie, the worst thing was the way they asked, it was very rude, instead of "excuse me sir / madam could I check your name is on our list?" it was an interrupting "What is your name? have you payed?" (3 times!) when we left the breakfast room a member of staff followed us out and again asked if we'd paid and if we hadnt could we go to reception straight away, not great customer service! As I said the wedding itself was great and the location and surroundings are beautiful and all of the above did not ruin our day. Congrats on the surroundings, great place for a wedding but need to work on staff attitudes and customer service.
Dear BristolBountyHunter, Thank you for the review following your stay and wedding attendance at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was very pleased that you enjoyed the wedding celebrations and that you thought our wedding venue was beautiful and set in a great location. Our guests often commend our high standards of customer service and food, so I was disappointed to read your comments regarding the bar and restaurant service and would like to apologise for this. I am also sorry if you did not find the food hot enough and if it was not to your personal taste, I will most certainly pass your feedback on. Thank you again for your feedback, I was pleased you enjoyed the wedding celebrations and I can assure you I will pass your comments onto relevant staff. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations
"Wedding Bliss, perfect surrounding but "
The grounds were beautiful for wedding photos and the room used perfectly laid out, the reception, leisure and cleaning staff were lovely. My room met most of my needs but the lighting poor. First night no bar staff I had to ring reception to ask for staff (busy setting up for a wedding) Three weddings and only one member of bar staff seriously, she was so overworked and meant slow service, but the following day three bar staff and the service was worse (how could that be?) Packed lunch was lovely Breakfast lots of choice, self service And what I cannot understand was the price, well above that given on the internet; and wedding discount? Must be based on double that of the internet price, but the wedding was lovely So unsure if I would be revisiting
Dear Dhirabhakta D, Thank you for the review following your stay and wedding attendance at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was pleased that you had a wonderful time at the wedding celebrations and that you thought our venue was picturesque. Our wedding and events team are dedicated in ensuring that the venue is decorated beautifully, so I was pleased you thought the function room was perfectly laid out. It was also wonderful to read that you found our reception, leisure and housekeeping staff lovely and friendly; they will be pleased to hear your kind words. I was also pleased to read that you enjoyed your lunch and breakfast buffet at our hotel and will be sure to pass your compliments on. However, I would like to apologise if you thought the bar service was slow. Hotel room rates regularly fluctuate, depending on the date and availability. However, wedding guest rates are based on a discounted set price, rates advertised online are room only and do not include breakfast. Thank you for taking the time to write a review, your feedback is appreciated and I do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back on your next visit to the area. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations
"Lovely staff, nice pool and good food"
We went to this hotel with our toddler. The staff were really nice and accommodating, especially the receptionist and the female bartender. The hotel is very nice and the rooms are average and clean. Lovely views to be had from the terrace and the food was lovely.

"An enjoyable stay helped by attentive staff"
We had a great break, the hotel has done what is practicably possible to cater for wheelchair users. The staff were friendly and helpful and did what they could to help things run smoothly. The restaurant menu was varied and we didn't have a problem choosing something to eat, the food was well cooked and presented. The only disappointment was we could not access the pool

"Beautiful room"
Stayed here for one night on our way down to North Devon. We stayed in room 4, a massive beautiful room with fabulous views. Very comfy bed and complimentary tea, coffee and hot chocolate with more available at the bar if required. Very nice spa area. We ate in the bar in the evening. The food was nice, nothing spectacular but nothing to complain about. Breakfast the next morning was wonderful with a good choice. My only slight criticism is that it was a nuisance to have to keep telephoning for service at the bar. Apart from that I can't fault the hotel. Thank you.
Dear Lopez26, Thank you for the review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa.

"Lovely hotel with a great spa "
Came here with my partner. This hotel was very tidy, ample free parking. Fantastic spa facilities, lovely decent sized indoor pool which was heated (could've been a tad warmer), great steam room and sauna. In fact I'm surprised it's ranked as a 3 star hotel, I feel it was closer to a 4 star. There was a wedding on at the same time, but the hotel is well insulated as we were unaffected by the noise. Breakfast was good enough, lovely sausages. No hash browns though. Our room was a little small, but fantastic tea and coffee facilities in the room, including delicious hot chocolate and tasty biscuits, all complimentary. We came here on Tesco clubcard vouchers and felt very spoilt indeed. We would definitely recommend this hotel! It was a 5* experience for a 3* hotel
Dear Katie F, Thank you for such a complimentary review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was delighted that you and your partner enjoyed your stay and rated it a 5 star experience! It was wonderful to read that you thought our spa facilities were fantastic, including the swimming pool, steam room and sauna. We do advise our guests prior to booking when there is a wedding taking place and we try our best to allocate you rooms away from the function, so I was delighted to read that you were not disturbed by the wedding party. The comfort of our guests is also important, so I was glad you were pleased with the complimentary beverages and biscuits provided, although I am sorry if you found your room a little small. I was also delighted that you enjoyed the breakfast buffet at our hotel and will pass your kind words on.

"SLIGHT IMPROVMENT"
The staff was more user friendly.The food was okay and the breakfast had a good selection but in general some of the rooms needs up dating. We stayed in room 19 and the bathroom was just not user friendly there was no where to put toiletries and to get in and out of the bath was very dangerous to open and close the window in the room you had to stand on a chair if you are not 6 feet tall with long arms. So stay away from room 19. Also it's situated way up on the top floor lots of stairs to climb to get to it as there is not a lift at this hotel .
Dear cynthia793, Thank you for the review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was pleased that you thought our staff were friendly and that you enjoyed your breakfast at our hotel, I will be sure to pass your compliments on.

However, we like to encourage our guests to make us aware of any problems they encounter at the time, so that we can try to rectify them or offer an alternative room when possible, to ensure you are comfortable during your stay. Due to the period property, out hotel does not have a lift. However, our staff are always at hand to offer their assistance and porterage services. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa, your feedback is appreciated and has been passed onto management. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations

"Not what we expected"
We went to this hotel for two nights. When we arrived at the hotel there wasn't anybody on the desk. A man came and was a bit confused as it wasn't his job. But he found our booking and handed us our key. He had to take us through the hotel and pointed across the courtyard and said room up the stairs. It was in an annexe.The room was so small just as well we hadn't got a large suitcase. The bed was a 4'6 there were bedside tables. A child's chair in one corner. Not a lot of room round one side of the bed, not much at the bottom of the bed and the other side had a desk and a chair with a double wardrobe. No where for a large suitcase. We put our wheelie case on the top of the wardrobe. The bathroom was small but had a nice sized shower. My biggest problem I had was that the room was dirty like the dust that was on the skirting boards, tops of doors, under radiator. There was no where to sit apart from the chair at the desk so I had to sit on the bed so you could see it all as you were so close. The bathroom there again needed a good clean especially the bottom of the shower where the doors slide. When we took the wheelie case off the wardrobe it was like a cloud coming down of dust. As we were checking out we were asked if everything was ok. I said no and said why. In all fareness we were told if we would go back they would do a discount do you think I would go back definitely not. My husband was at a meeting at the hotel, one that they have every year. We will stay elsewhere. I must say the breakfasts were superb.
Dear Bumpking, Thank you for the review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. Our reception team are often commended for their professional and courteous customer service skills, so I was disappointed to read your comments regarding your arrival and would like to apologise for this. The comfort of our guests is very important, so I would like to apologise if you felt your room was too small and was not cleaned to our usual high standards, I will most certainly pass your feedback onto our management team. We do like to encourage our guests to bring any problems they may find to our attention at the time, in the hope that we can rectify the problem and so we can ensure you are comfortable during your stay. I was very pleased to read that you enjoyed your breakfast and that you thought it was superb, our chefs will be delighted to hear your compliments. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations
"Pleasantly Surprised"
Stayed here over night from the 12-13thSeptember 2017. We chose this place because of the price, £58 for the night instead of paying £168 for a hotel in Bristol. Very clean,staff very friendly location was good although some of the roads getting here (using Sat nav) were not for the faint hearted. Room was very clean bar prices and food reasonable price. Did not use the leisure facilities so cannot comment on this but would definitely use again. My only criticism is the number of stairs,not sure about access by people with limited mobility and for people that have this problem definitely worth checking with staff first.
Dear Shutty45, Thank you for the review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was delighted that you enjoyed the countryside location of our hotel and that you thought our rates were good in comparison to other hotels in Bristol. I was also delighted that you found our staff very friendly, they will be pleased to hear your kind words. I was pleased that you found the hotel and your guestroom very clean and will pass your compliments to our housekeeping team. We do not have a lift in our hotel due to the Edwardian period property, however porterage services and assistance are always available from our staff and we do have rooms on the first floor which have disability access.

"Good stay"
On arrival the receptionist seemed in a rush but was polite. We were upgraded to a superior room which was nice with great views. Large bathroom with a view from the loo. No bath but good shower. We had a small leak at the back of the toilet which we reported on departure as we were only staying one night, it didn't cause any issues. Breakfast was quite nice and breakfast staff polite. Check out was good and easy. We would definitely stay here again at the right price.
Dear Rizzo70, Thank you for the review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was pleased you enjoyed your stay and that you would like to return to our hotel in the future. I was glad you found our receptionist polite and that your check-out process was good and easy, although I am sorry if they seemed rush on arrival.

"Disappointed!"
I booked in advance direct with the hotel and paid supplement for upgraded room as a full spa treat for my daughter and myself before she started her first job after a hard course and year at university. When I tried to book treatmens in advance I left two messages with no response before eventually speaking to the salon owner who asked me to text her so she could phone me back - I'm still waiting and so we never did get the massage or treatments we wanted to book as part of the weekend. Then we arrived at the hotel to be given the smallest twin room I have ever had, it would have been small as a single, really tired décor, plain white bedding and magnolia embossed walls, one step up from woodchip! - nothing like the pictures- to be honest I've stayed in better B&B's in Blackpool for a third of the price. to top it all off the walls were so thin we could hear everything from the room next door including them snoring all night long! The breakfast was nice though with a range of options, we asked for poached eggs and they arrived very quick so quick we were still eating our grapefruit, the staff didn't clear away any of our plates during the service so we were left with a pile of plates on the table from the different courses. We used the leisure pool and sauna, steam room facilities which to be honest was the saving grace, good friendly staff and helpful too, its a pity that the pool changing room showers were not working though as we had to walk through the gym dripping wet to get changed. Overall a disappointing experience which could have been exceptional as the location and history of the hotel is there. This was not a cheap last minute break via booking.com or wowcher ( I could have booked through them for cheaper) and so I would have expected more.
"Nice hotel with excellent views, and a great gym and pool!"
Hotel room was a little tired, but was very quite and I had no problems sleeping. The pool and gym were excellent as well and the sauna! Also had dinner in the bar which was very reasonably priced, and had lovely views over the countryside!
Dear Dan W, Thank you for such a complimentary review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was pleased you enjoyed your stay and that you enjoyed the spectacular countryside views.

"Welcoming with good leisure facilities, but.... some issues"
Excellent initial reception, our spacious room was well-prepared and hospitality tray generously stocked. We stayed for three nights, using the hotel as a base from which to explore. We quickly discovered that the two 'easy' chairs in our 'Superior' room were ornamental possibly designed for children , not normal-sized adults (We asked for them to be changed, without success). Our first night coincided with a late, noisy wedding/disco - always a risk and not a major problem. Breakfasts from the buffet were excellent and staff helpful. We swam in the excellent pool each morning - very clean and not over-heated (28deg). Our second and third nights were very peaceful. During the evening, as we could not sit in our room, we had to relax in the bar which offered very comfortable leather sofas, with lots of space on Sat/Sun. The bar snacks were OK and staff were friendly. We did not eat dinner the hotel We were disappointed by the hotel's lack of response to our friendly request to have the chairs in our room changed - It could have been done very easily and would have made a real contribution to our comfort. At £360 for three nights, this is not a cheap hotel, we expected more flexibility from the management.
Dear Bill D, Thank you for the review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa, your feedback is greatly appreciated and has been passed on to our management team. I was delighted you received a warm welcome by our reception team and that you thought your room was nice and spacious, with a generous selection of complimentary drinks.

"what a difference a day makes......."
I travel with work a lot, seldom Best Westerns; this trip was a tale of 2 halves... I hope my review encourages improvement. Arrival day, and dinner, a big Hindu wedding going on, it was busy and vibrant, lots of colour..I used the pool nice and warm - relaxed; nice beer in the bar and an excellent dinner..3 courses, the waiter (sorry I forgot his name) was very attentive to me and my colleagues needs, we asked for more crackers for the cheese we got them, it was 10/10 dinning experience even with the restaurant loading of coach load of Dutch visitors.........BUT... Breakfast.....what a disaster......and we were not the only ones raising eyebrows, another table of 4 seemed bemused and another couple were irritated too. this was the only loading on the room at the time I sat down. The dutch crowd, had been and gone. The positives, the ingredients used for breakfast were quality, good sausages and bacon used. Fundamentals you got wrong and need urgent attention: And the manager guy with the blue clip board was not observant enough of his customer base. Waiters - Be attentive: If some one is turned around at breakfast by 180 degrees from their chair for several minutes they want some thing, do not ignore, should not have to voice a need. it was as if they were wearing blinkers. 18 minutes from the ordering of pot of tea to it arriving in the room is 10 mins too long ; and delivered to wrong table was a simple error excusable. No one actually asked us what we wanted from the breakfast menu, if we wanted the other menu options it was not asked of us, kippers, or omelets, no interaction enabled ordering the options so buffet was taken. My colleague eventually ordered a poached egg as did the other couple sat 3 tables away, delivery was ~15 minutes for us and 20 mins for the other guy arriving at the same time; Kitchen should have a pan of hot water half heated to poach an egg with this became a 'room joke' with the other couple too. I wanted a fried egg but was never asked if I wanted anything from the custom menu section so just went with the scrambled from buffet. In fairness the poached egg when arrived looked really good, very yellow so good eggs used. Sadly this was my worst ever breakfast experience in any hotel to date. Room: I was given room 20 in the courtyard; a recent creation or refurb -one comment, it is contrary to UK building regulations for a new build home bathroom not to have an extractor fan in a bathroom with no window, so why was this room not fitted with one; steam from the shower and toilet odor (rich food and beer the night before, use your imagination) the bathroom odor had nowhere to go but the main room.. most odd... On the whole, day 1 arrival fantastic, day 2 breakfast total fail, and I suggest the management do a mystery customer visit of the breakfast experience and fix the issues quickly. I will not return to this hotel and im now very wary of using another best western. Management are welcome to call me to discuss if they wish. Regards, Richard Steel.
"Lovely hotel in a great location"
Having booked a Friday to Monday stay at a holiday park in Brean over bank holiday weekend, we really didn't want to deal with the bank holiday traffic so decided to book a night at the Webbington Hotel so we could travel down on the Thursday. The hotel is only a 20 minute drive away from Brean so the location was ideal for us. Myself, my partner and our two children (aged 8 and 1) stayed in a family room which had 1 double bed and 1 single. They were going to put a z-bed in for us too but we rang in advance to let them know it wasn't needed as we would be bringing a travel cot with us. The room itself was spotlessly clean and a good size for the 4 of us. The hotel was really nice, I can see why some may feel that it is a little outdated in places but to be honest it I think that just fits with the overall character of the place. When booking if you do have any mobility issues then do state this as once inside its a bit of a maze with lots of stairs to get to some of the rooms. Check-in was very quick and the receptionist was helpful in explaining breakfast times etc. We enjoyed using the swimming pool in the evening which was nice and quiet. The children were allowed to use the pool until 7pm after which it was for adult use only until it closed which I thought was fair. We used the bar in the evening, where the drinks were very reasonably priced, and sat out on the terrace where the view over the hills was nice to look at. The next morning we went down to the restaurant for breakfast where there was plenty to choose from for both adults and children - Cereals, toast, a cooked breakfast, pastries and various juices on offer too. The pastries were amazing! Overall we really enjoyed our stay and will 100% be returning
Dear Katie R, Thank you for such a complimentary review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was delighted that you enjoyed your stay and would like to return in the future. I was pleased you thought our hotel was the ideal location as a stopover on your travels to Brean. We are lucky to be located in such an idyllic countryside setting, within good access to the m5 motorway and local tourist attractions such as Brean, Cheddar Gorge and the beaches of Weston. The comfort of our guests is important, so I was very glad that you found your family room spacious and spotlessly clean. Our hotel is decorated traditionally to preserve the Edwardian charm of the period property, of which I was pleased you admired and thought it added to the character of our hotel. Our reception team strive to provide a warm welcome and I was delighted that you found check-in quick and easy and that our receptionist was very helpful, I will pass your kind words on. I was also delighted that you and your family enjoyed using our swimming pool during your stay. It was wonderful to read that you enjoyed the countryside views from our terrace area and that you thought the drinks in our bar were good value. I was also pleased you enjoyed our breakfast buffet and was glad you thought the food choice was plentiful and that our pastries were amazing, I will pass your compliments to the chefs!

"what view???"
What a disappointment the view from the window was non existent just a rock face inches away from my window very claustrophobic. Avoid what are called courtyard rooms or you too could be staring at solid rock. Arrived at hotel 3.30 and booked in, given room keys/cards we had booked two rooms told our room numbers and that was it just left to wander around with our luggage to find our own rooms no porters. I am 67 years old and disabled that was fun (not) Views from terrace were not available to us as wedding reception had taken over the hotel and that area was off limits. Room was clean and freshly painted however light fitting was falling off wall some switches did not work and the carpets were fitted badly already separating and lifting in bathroom doorway. our room had the added attraction of a lose or broken floorboard which when stood on dropped a good couple of inches (this was reported). Difficult to spot under the carpeting but right in the middle of the room access area. Other room features included all night humming from external refrigeration/air conditioning unit noise from corridor and overhead rooms. Smallest tv screen possible, good sound though I could hear every word of midsummer murders, just a shame it was from the room next door. Advertised as a kid friendly hotel beware the hot water taps, water that hot you could make tea with it, yes there are notices to say caution hot water all well and good if your five year old grandson understands the word caution. Breakfast cost £10 for kids and adults alike choice of scrambled egg or scrambled egg, bacon under cooked fat still white. Waiters very slow at clearing dirty plates from table. I am retired now but have experienced many hotels throughout my working life this sadly is not one of my better experiences. Not a pleasant experience we were happy to leave. I don't usually write reviews but in this case I feel the need to warn other poor unsuspecting potential customers. Alan Morris.
"Enjoyable stay"
Stayed here for the night whilst on a short break. Reception staff lovely & very efficient when checking in. Hotel its self very clean & tidy, room was spacious and again clean, also in a nice and quiet location. Only gripe is when paying what we paid for one night (£90) would expect breakfast to be included and not charged a extra £10 (also charged same price for a small child!?) but hey ho breakfast was delicious with a decent choice of food. Would stay here again if passing

"Pleasant stay and Very friendly "
Stayed 1 evening and the staff were all very helpful and the food lovely, especially sitting on the terrace. Very good value for money and great setting which was close to the motorway but was also in a quiet location.

"A pleasant stay"
We stayed in this hotel for one night looking for somewhere relaxing with spa facilities. We upgraded to a superior room which was a lovely room although we had to walk quite a long way from the entrance to get there. Food in the hotel was nice, we ate dinner and lunch there as the hotel is down some rather narrow country lanes and we didn't fancy driving out multiple times!! The sauna and steam room are nice but are set away from the pool so you have to walk through the gym area wrapped in your towel to reach the spa facilities - not ideal! Towels available for guests at the spa for free though which is always good. Don't expect a modern state of the art hotel but for a quiet relaxing stay it did the job.
Dear eleanorrachel, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa, I was pleased you had a relaxing time. It was wonderful to read that you thought your superior room was lovely and I was delighted that you enjoyed the food at our hotel, I will be sure to pass your compliments to our chefs. I was also glad that you enjoyed using the spa and leisure facilities at our hotel, including the sauna and steam room, although I am sorry for any inconveniences the layout may have caused for you.

"Webbington Hotel 6 Night Stay"
From the moment that my wife and I drove up to the Webbington Spa Hotel to the time we had to drag ourselves away at the end of our holiday, our time there was absolutely fantastic! We have nothing bad to say about any of our experiences there. We had previously read some 'not so good reviews' that concerned us before we left but experienced no problems at all. If I were to try to be critical I would have to really look for problems to point out and that would take away from the really positive experience that can be had. The hotel is a large Edwardian House full of character, wooden beams, floors and staircases. The view across the Mendips is stunning, we experienced a beautiful sunset and a rainbow on the same evening from the balcony at the bar. The staff are welcoming, friendly, helpful, professional and polite, (only one of them could maybe do with a little more experience in customer service). We stayed in room number 9 and it was well worth that little extra money for the superior room. Wooden beamed ceiling, smart, clean, spacious with an excellent bathroom, (no bath but two shower heads including a rainfall shower head). The combination of bar and restaurant provided plenty of choice for meals and at what I would consider a good price. Breakfast was very well layed out and, again, offered lots of choice, which we really enjoyed. The location of the hotel was also excellent. Yes it's a little drive from the M5 turning but our sat nav had no problems in finding it. Only a 13 minute drive from Cheddar Gorge, 20 minutes from Wookey Hole, not much further to Wells. Weston Super Mare is only about a 12 minute drive in the other direction, there you can catch the train for fifty minutes to the beautiful city of Bath if you want. We wouldn't hesitate in returning to this hotel, staying in the same room and enjoying the comfort, friendly atmosphere, food and character that it can offer on our holiday again.
Dear Anonymous3798, Thank you for such a complimentary review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was absolutely delighted that you had a fantastic holiday and it was wonderful to read that you had such a positive experience at our hotel. As an original Edwardian manor house, our hotel offers lots of character and charm, from the timeless architecture of the wooden floorboards and beams and the traditional décor. I was very pleased you enjoyed the traditional charm of our hotel and that you enjoyed the stunning views across the Mendips. Our hotel is located in the heart of the Somerset countryside, however as you mention, we are within reach of many local sites and tourist attractions such as Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole Caves and the beaches of Weston. It was wonderful to read that you were comfortable in your spacious superior room and that you thought it was smart, clean and offered an excellent en-suite bathroom. I was also pleased that you enjoyed the combination of bar and restaurant meals and that you thought the menu was plentiful and good value for money. Our staff at the hotel strive to provide excellent customer service, so they will be thrilled to hear that you thought they were welcoming, friendly, helpful and courteous. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa, I hope we have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future.

"Very disappointed"
This was a surprise overnight stay that my husband booked. Check in with reception was fine though could have done with better instructions regarding hotel facilities. We're currently staying in room 112! Not an easy find through the courtyard & not for the less mobile as there are plenty of stairs & there isn't a lift. First impressions is that the hotel is very tired, run down & smells of damp. Our room is of a good size though no view which is a shame. I'm writing this review at 4.30am as I can't sleep due to the extremely uncomfortable beds! There is literally no support in them, not good for a Best Western!! I went to the gym yesterday which had lots of good updated equipment. However I had to wait around for ages for someone from reception to explain layout, get a towel, locker key etc. One thing to mention is how wet the floor is. This is because people are walking back from the pool to changing rooms soaking wet!! Also the sauna & steam room are accessed by walking through the gym!! As there were lots of people in the gym at the time I was there, I felt far too uncomfortable to walk through them to use these rooms. Very disappointing. The member of staff in the bar was extremely slow & very flustered. I was waiting almost 15 minutes to be served (there were 2 men in front of me)! Then he took ages sorting out my order of 2 drinks, stopping midway to go & talk to a member of staff near the restaurant. He then mislaid my credit card having left it on the bar!! On a positive note, we had a lovely meal in the restaurant. Staff were very attentive & the food was gorgeous. Got bitten to death though as it was a hot night with lights on & windows open. Would I stay here again - No! Would I recommend it - No! It's such a shame as the hotel is in a wonderful location with glorious views of the countryside but needs seriously updating.
"1 night Break "
We stayed in a family room for 1 night. It was spacious and very clean. We ate in the bar area and the food was excellent for us and our 2 children aged 6 and 8. Breakfast was also to a very high standard. The whole hotel could do with a slight renovation, however I would still recommend this hotel highly for families wishing to stay in this area.
Dear licksy, Thank you for the review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was delighted that you had a comfortable stay and that you found your room spacious and very clean.

"The Staff Make it Great"
My daughter and I have just returned from a 'mini' break in Cheddar and after a day exploring had booked in to this hotel for the night. The staff from checkin in to check out where great, friendly and helpful. I have several conditions that mean I have a very restricted diet. The staff went out of their way to ensure there were things I could eat and cooked things seperately to avoid cross contamination. I had called ahead to let them know of my inability to eat certain foods and they even went and purchased unsweetened almond milk for me so I could have a cup of tea, it's the little things right? Our room was a twin room and more than adequate for one night however the room had dust along the edge of the carpets and spiders along with webs in each corner of the room. The bathroom was in need of some attention, not very clean and the shower door over the bath leaked which soaked the bathroom floor when we showered. There was a fire exit door on the landing opposite our room which other guests were using to exit and smoke, meaning that the door was often left open and then slammed closed when they returned, not an issue unless you are trying to sleep! The bedroom walls also offered little sound proofing and we could hear the guests in the next room talking, sneezing and what they were watching on TV (spiderman)! The grounds around the hotel are nicely kept and the views stunning. In general the rooms could do with a refresh and some TLC but if, like us, you just need somewhere to bed for the night with great customer service then this is a good place to book.
Dear kirstincullum, Thank you for the review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was delighted that you thought our hotel staff offered great customer service. We strive to provide a warm welcome to our guests and it is always gratifying to hear your kind words. We accommodate to our guests requirements to ensure you have a pleasant experience and I was delighted that you enjoyed your food and appreciated the little touches, such as the unsweetened almond milk in your guestroom. We are lucky to be located in such an idyllic countryside setting, overlooking the Somerset levels. It was wonderful to read that you thought our grounds were nice and well kept and that you enjoyed the stunning views from our hotel. It was also great to read that you were comfortable in your room. However, I was surprised to read your comments regarding the cleanliness as our housekeeping team are often commended for their high standards of cleaning. I am also sorry if you encountered any noise disturbances and will pass all of your comments on. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa, I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back on your next visit to the area.

"Fantastic Wedding venue"
We had our wedding reception at the webbington hotel on 11/07/2017 and it was perfect. The staff was very friendly and helpful especially Jamie and Lucy and kept us up to date with everything going on around us. The honeymoon suite Was perfect and spotless. Only Thing that i wasn't to happy about is that they took the cake away very early and no one knew where it had gone; but was found later on that evening.
"Great value !"
My son and I stayed here for 3 nights. It's a big hotel, we had twin room and it was a good size, ensuite too. Room service is available at no extra cost and the food was lovely. The staff were great, lovely swimming pool, the gym is good too. The only down side is the rooms need a bit of re decorating, the ensuite could do with being updated too. There were quite a few cobwebs around the hotel too and some dusty looking surfaces and a few spiders. BUT it is 3 stars and for that rating you don't expect perfection. The beds were clean and comfy, the toilet and sink clean too. Also there is no lift so be aware if you have mobility issues. I would definitely stay again.
Dear _corkycoobags, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was pleased you enjoyed your stay and would like to return to our hotel again. I was delighted that you were comfortable in your twin room and that you found it spacious and clean. Our rooms are equipped with modern comforts and facilities and some have been recently refurbished, however I would like to apologise if the traditional furnishing was not to your personal taste. Due to the period property, we do not have a lift, however our staff are always available to offer their assistance and we do have a room on the first floor with disabled access. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa, I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back on your next visit to the area.

"Best Western - somewhat mediocre"
A mix up over a requested early check in meant that I arrived at the church at the same time as the bride! Problem resolved but only after calling for the Manager. I was offered a late check out at no extra cost instead! I was there as part of a family booked block reservation for a wedding 10 minutes down the road. This hotel is like a rabbit warren, stairs, stairs and more stairs. I noticed that there was a disabled entrance! There are some nice rooms with spectacular views! Mine was "recently upgraded" but still had a rather tired feel to it! There is a spa but I cannot comment as although I had my swimming costume with me I Was somewhat put off by the chlorine smell!
Dear catoneill, Thank you for the review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. Our management team are always at hand, and I was pleased to read that they resolved the confusion with your check-in time, however I would like to apologise for any inconveniences. The Webbington Hotel is an original Edwardian manor house, and due to the period property we are unable to install lifts, however our hotel staff are always available to offer their porterage services and assistance. Located in the heart of the Somerset countryside, our hotel offers spectacular views across the Somerset valleys, as do some of our guestrooms. Many of our guestrooms have been recently refurbished, which have been well received by our guests. Our guests and Leisure Club Members are often very complimentary towards our swimming pool, so I was surprised to read your comments and I can assure you that the chlorine levels and temperature of our pool are checked daily. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa, your feedback is greatly appreciated and I do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations Representative
"Nice place"
Looks a pretty impressive place,nice reception,friendly helpful staff. Our room was the other side of building but if a walk (we were offered assistance) up stairs (2 flights) room was a little on the small side but clean and adequate, nice bathroom. Enjoyed the bar and restaurant,really nice food and excellent service,the place was busier than we expected due to there being a wedding on at the venue we hadn't been told about,wasn't a massive inconvenience but it was the busiest breakfast morning I've been to.
Dear TRAVELLERS0409, Thank you for such a complimentary review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa.

"OK - but . . . . . ."
This hotel must be one of the most difficult to get to anywhere in England! And once you get here it looks great - but its a bit faded and the rooms in the courtyard leave a lot to be desired. The food was acceptable, although we were told the restaurant would close at 9pm - we were late arriving due to problems on the M5 - so we hurried to get down before it closed. Imagine our amazement when it allowed two further parties to eat long after the 9 pm closing time!
Dear Gordon S, Thank you for the review. Located in the heart of the Somerset countryside, the Webbington Hotel & Spa offers outstanding views of the Somerset Levels. I am sorry if you found it difficult to locate our hotel, however we do offer directions on our website. I was pleased that you liked the appearance of our hotel, although I was surprised to read your comments regarding your room. The Tiark Restaurant does close at 9pm, however we do not rush our current diners out of the restaurant at this time so that they can thoroughly enjoy their dining experience at the hotel. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations
"Mixed feelings"
Stayed here overnight while visiting friends and family. Booked it because it has ' a pool and spa'. The hotel looks tired in places but updated in others. The staff were very helpful, when they could understand what I was asking for. The room was small but clean and well equipped. Had a good nights sleep, although I wear ear plugs so don't know how noisy it gets lol. Food was lovely and well presented both the bar meal on Sunday evening and breakfast the following morning which was buffet but there were lots of options. As for the pool and spa area............... It feels like they had a space so put some gym and spa equipment in!! The pool was clean, the gym equipment up to date but the flow just doesn't work. You have to go through the reception and gym in your swimwear to get from the pool to the sauna, steam room and changing rooms. With a little re organisation it could be a good space but isn't very functional at the moment. I would probably go back but with less enthusiasm for a relaxing spa experience.
Dear Karon B, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. All of our staff at the hotel strive to provide excellent customer service and are often complimented on this, so I was pleased that you found our staff very helpful.

"Good base for business trip to Somerset and Devon"
Used this Hotel a couple of times now for business trips. Easy access to M5. Good place to stay. Always try and get a room in the main building as the Court Yard rooms are much smaller with thin walls and no views in most. Gym facilities are an added bonus. The pool is a good temperature but a bit on the small side. Food is very good with a wide and varied selection for dinner and breakfast.
Dear neiljenner, Thank you for the review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was pleased to read that you thought our hotel was a great base for business trips into Somerset and Devon, as we are within easy access to major motorways. It was also wonderful to read that you enjoyed the benefits of our gym facilities and swimming pool, and I was glad that you liked the temperature of the pool, of which overlooks the Somerset levels. We offer a varied bar and restaurant menu. I was glad that you enjoyed the selection of food we have to offer and that you thought your breakfast and dinner were both very good.

"Disappointing"
Having phoned t several days earlier to confirm a room upgrade as website wouldn't accept it I felt all would be fine as the young lady I spoke to seemed very polite and capable. (In fact upon meeting her during my stay I would say she is the not only the best member of staff but the best asset that hotel has!) I arrive later than planned, thanks M5! So checked in went to my room which was basic, pretty cold as it was below freezing outside and the window wouldn't shut properly, and overall gloomy. As it was late and I was tired I decided to go and get a drink and a sandwich take them back to my room and sleep as I had to be up at 05:45. The bar had absolutely no atmosphere, I've seen livelier old peoples homes! Food was passable, cheese sandwich and chips. What I found odd was the fact that towels seemed to be stored all over the place, bottom of staircases, on the bench outside where people were smoking, surely this would be an additional fire hazard? Would I stay again, no!
Dear Charles s, Thank you for your review. Our staff strive to provide a warm welcome at the Webbington Hotel and Spa, so I was pleased to read that you found our receptionist very polite and helpful. Since your stay last November the hotel has improved in many areas and we have received positive comments from guests regarding the atmosphere in our Tiark restaurant and bar area. Thank you again for your feedback, it has been passed on to relevant staff. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations Representative
"Lovely hotel"
Stayed here with my husband over my birthday. Our room was in the original part of the building and was large, comfortable and clean with a lovely view over the terrace and surrounding countryside. The only complaint was lack of comfortable seating in our room, there were two very uncomfortable chairs which we found too low, but that is our only complaint. Staff are very friendly. Food in both the bar and restaurant was very good. Plenty of choice for breakfast. There were two weddings whilst we were there and we thought we wouldn't get much sleep but we honestly hardly heard a noise from the guests. We love the olde worlde charm of the Best Western hotels and always try to stay in one of them when we go away.
Dear Nantlais29, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa, I was pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay. The comfort of our guests is very important, so I was delighted that you found your spacious room comfortable and clean, with lovely views across the surrounding Somerset countryside. Although, I would like to apologise if you found the chairs too low, I will pass this feedback on. It was also wonderful to read that you did not hear any noise from the two weddings taking place and that you were not disturbed during your stay. Our staff take pride in providing a warm welcome and will always go out of their way to be courteous and helpful, so I was pleased you found our staff very friendly. I was also glad that you thought the food in our bar and restaurant were very good and that you enjoyed our plentiful breakfast buffet, I will be sure to pass your compliments to the chefs.

"Short break for husbands bday"
Booked here for a couple of nights to take my husband away for his birthday. It was ok but felt the pictures on the wed site showed it in a better way than it is. All staff where really nice, just the hotel it's self is slightly run down and needs a bit of attention. I don't think it was worth the money I paid that's for sure. We ate the first night there and wished we hadn't the food was not great, it might if been cooked fresh at some point but not that night. Very disappointing. Breakfast was ok normal self serve buffet, but did felt rushed both mornings even though we where down at least half hour before the end. Over all unfortunately I wouldn't go back unless they did work on the building and the chef was better. But like I said the staff we saw where very nice.
Dear Jo S, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was pleased you had a good stay, however I was surprised to read your comments regarding our website photos. Our hotel is an Edwardian property, and in keeping with this our hotel is decorated in a way which preserves the traditional charm of our period property, of which many of our guests enjoy. I can assure you that the food at our hotel is freshly prepared to order by our chefs and I would like to apologise if your meal was not to your taste. I was glad you enjoyed our breakfast buffet, although I was surprised to read that you felt rushed, as our staff are often complimented on their courteous manners. However, I was very pleased to read that you thought our staff were all very nice. Thank you again for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated and I can assure you that your comments will be passed onto our management team. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations Representative
"Budget accommodation but good price"
We stayed one night in a basic room - not even a wardrobe and was small enough not to be able to swing the proverbial cat! Two twin beds right next to each other that were uncomfortable. The sheets were spotless and the room well cleaned but it was dated. Check in was friendly. We are in the hotel and had two bar meals. These were very nice and we had them on the terrace - but there is a lot of noise from the motorway. Shame as the view is fantastic. Lovely view of the linen/laundry bins from our room but not too much of an issue as it was only one night. We had a really quiet night as there was not a wedding function going on - be aware at weekends these take place most Fri and Sat - it does say this on their website so imagine it would be noisier with the taking place. For the price it met our needs - I wouldn't stay agin though.
Dear IBC35_Mike, Thank you for the review following your recent stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was pleased that you thought your stay was good value for money, although I am sorry if you were not comfortable in your room. I was pleased however, that you found your room cleaned to an excellent standard. Our staff are often commended for their welcoming and helpful customer service and I was delighted you found our staff friendly upon your arrival. It was also wonderful to read that you thoroughly enjoyed your bar meals on our terrace, overlooking the Somerset countryside; although I am sorry if you could hear some traffic. Our hotel is a popular wedding venue, however as you mention we advise our guests prior to booking when there is an event taking place. We also do our best to assign our non-event attending guests rooms away from the function room to avoid any noise disturbances. Thank you again for your feedback, it is appreciated and shall be passed on. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations Representative
"Such a disappointment"
Booked 2 nights at the Best Western, The Webbington Hotel & Spa for my Birthday in July. I'm not one to write reviews but I felt the need to just let any other potential guests know that the rooms have this strange locking system to their doors where if you leave the door slightly opened a small alarm will go off to prompt you to shut the door but it isn't just a simple close of the door, you're sort of forced to slam the door(s) shut. It's laughable with the thought behind it - we found it very strange and disturbing especially at night when you're trying to to sleep. We had booked in a standard double room and was given room 213, this was situated out back of the main hotel. We were next to the ballroom / entertainment venue. Unfortunately there was a wedding on a week day (this being Thursday) and the venue was playing extremely loud music until hours of the night (12.10am). Then we could hear all the guests of that party make their way to their rooms and decide to continue the celebration in their rooms. We had to call the receptionist (late night porter) who said there were no spare rooms. He did however come up and told them to please quiet the noise because next door complained, which eventually helped subside the level of voices by 2.30am. Unsure of whether to go or stay we held out the last night and managed to not get too disturbed, however the next room had then been occupied by a family with small children, we could hear everything they were saying as the wall are very thin. Now, we can appreciate the webbington hotel is a late build and there is not much you can do to the building itself. So with that said, unfortunately I have to say it probably was the worst hotel experiences we've ever had. Been to many B&B's and 3 star hotels in the UK and abroad but this was on another level. I hate to say we will definitely not be staying or recommending this place to anyone who wants a peaceful and relaxing stay (or anyone who requires sleep). It was such a shame as it was also around a special occasion that made us come visit and stay. Unfortunately our memories of this accommodation will best forgotten.
"Somewhat noisy"
This hotel was ok but:-the room with its own balcony,which we booked for four nights had somehow been double booked for the last night we were there so we had to move to what I would call an extremely downgraded attic room which was noisy to the extreme re the terrible sound of the large extractor vent from the kitchen,which was directly opposite-not a nice room at all,had we have been allocated this room in the beginning we would have refused it!We enjoyed the first nights in the previous room with the balcony though.The staff were fantastic and the waitresses were so efficient,hard working & friendly-a real bonus.The sitting area outside was fine except for the continual sound of traffic from the motorway & a noisy farm,although we coped ok with it,I can see that it would disturb the peace & quiet that some would expect (which we did initially).The car parking area was fine & plenty of room always.I didn't use the spa & pool but my wife did & she seemed quite happy with it.The breakfasts & meals which we had were good & have no complaints with such.
"great place to stay"
this was the last hotel we stayed in on our round trip,stayed in five altogether and this was top,fantastic location ,yes it is near m5 ,that did not bother us,we upgraded our room and ended up with the bridal suite ,nice surpise,the room was massive and comfortable,and in the old building which i would recommend staying in,very quaint and we heard nobody around us. we had hearty breakfast on both mornings,and because we ate out for lunch ,we were contented with bar snacks on the terrace in the evenings. all staff were great ,especially the reception staff who were friendly and informative and gave us a great welcome. i also recommend ,not for the fainthearted ,a walk up the hill behind to crooks peak,hard going but the 360degree view from the top is awe inspiring,and of course when you come down you have excellent spa facilities to unwind
"Nice to be an non corporate hotel for a change "
We stayed here on the way to see Coldplay in Cardiff. Only a few miles as the bird flies but a bit longer across the Severn Bridge! (All hotels around Cardiff booked). Actually the hotel was quite pleasant. The room was spacious with a huge landscape view and first floor seating area. Comfy bed and clean room. We had a good priced evening double G&T in the bar and then buffet breakfast in the morning. Breakfast was pretty hotel standard and ok quality - and not too busy. The hotel seems popular mid week for workers who had left by the time we got to breakfast so nice and quiet. We then made use of the spa facilities. The pool goes from 3 to 6 feet and was pleasant. A little odd to walk through the fairly equipped gym to the sauna and steam room. They were small but good temperature. I had nowhere to rest between the two so the second steam room was too much for me! I then had a lovely Indian head massage and my wife had some very satisfying treatment too. I should mention reception staff don't know much about the spa treatments so look out for the leaflets for more information. Don't be worried about calling to book at 9pm ( as I did)! Had no problem finding the hotel from the postcode on my satnav. Thanks for an enjoyable stay.

"A Lovely Place to stay."
Anniversary surprise for the wife. Always made to feel welcome and a real pleasure staying here. Lovely rooms with very comfortable beds. The well equipped fitness suite, pool, sauna and steam room are never really busy so it's a great place for a bit of exercise and toning. The restaurant was quiet, the food was good and a reasonable selection of wines.

"Nice hotel. "
Stayed one night with work colleagues, my room was nicely decorated and had lovely bathroom. I was freaked out abut as I was in the converted attic and the corridor outside reminded me of something from the woman in black!! The food was nice, the staff friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was really good with a really good choice on offer. It was a shame that the weather was rubbish when we arrived as I imagine the terrace would have been lovely to sit out on in the evening for some dinner n drinks when the sun was out. Didn't check out the leisure facilities as we only stayed overnight and had an early start so can't comment on those.
"did not enjoy our stay"
Staff seemed friendly enough. Food and drinks are overpriced but lovely old building with character and beautiful views out on terrace. Stayed in room 108 , this room was impossible to sleep in very hot and noisey.
Dear bronwynlinford, Thank you for the review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was delighted that you enjoyed the character of our traditional Edwardian hotel and that you admired the beautiful countryside views from the terrace area. Our staff are often commended for their welcoming and helpful customer service, so I was pleased that you thought this was the case, I will be sure to pass your kind words on. I was surprised that you thought our dining menu was overpriced and am sorry if you were too warm in your room. During these warm summer days/nights we do have portable fans that can be used to ensure a pleasant and comfortable environment Thank you again for your feedback, I will most certainly pass your comments on. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations
"Excellent 4 nights stay "
On arrival driving up and through the car park the outside looked pretty bad with dirty windows and what looked like junk piled high seen through some windows didn't give a good first impression! However on entering the building everything was beautifully furnished and decorated in keeping with an old building. It was spotlessly clean and our room-10- was perfect, one of the larger superior rooms and the only one with a balcony. Pretty hot and no fans available but bearable. Bit of a mix up with our booking meant we had to change to room 16 for the last night which was up in the attic, very hot and stuffy with noise from the kitchen vents spoiled it but still very clean and well decorated and furnished. The staff were wonderful, pleasant and helpful and it was this that made our stay so enjoyable. We didn't eat in the restaurant but had bar meals the menu was limited but the chef was very obliging and made me an omelette upon request. The leisure facilities were wonderful again spotlessly clean, lovely sitting out area, pool a perfect temperature- the only downside was you have to walk through the gym to access the steam room and sauna! There was some building work going on but as soon as they saw us arrive back in our room they down tooled and left so no inconvenience! The outside could definitely do with some work- some windows replaced but others quite rotten, painting and generally tidied up. Inside was absolutely lovely apart from the grey and torn net curtains. On the whole for a 3 star I would have given it 4!! Would definitely pay the extra for a front facing room all of which looked lovely- rooms at back probably perfectly adequate for just a one night stay. Shame the newer part at the front wasn't more in keeping with the rest of the building but nothing they can do about that apart from perhaps the big blue hotel signage replaced with one similar to the other newer signs! Very pleasant and wonderful staff. Thank you.

"Great stay, fantastic staff!"
We came for a 2 night stay at the Webbington Hotel and had a great time. After a mix up with our booking (our fault) the hotel receptionist (Jordan) couldn't have been more helpful, she went above and beyond to ensure that we had a room for the 2 nights we were there. The rooms were comfortable the breakfast was fine, all the staff were friendly and helpful, couldn't really of asked for more.

"Loxton's losing lustre"
What is clear is that the Webbington was once a tour de force in the Somerset hotel world; probably no longer the case. Perfectly reasonable, however, as a 3 star, the standard rooms are clean and serviceable and the food, both dinner and breakfast, were a decent standard.
Dear Doj D, Thank you for the review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. The comfort of our guests is important, so I was pleased that you found your room cleaned to a good standard and that your room was well equipped. The chefs at our hotel are passionate about the high standards of food they serve, so they will be glad you hear that you enjoyed both your breakfast and dinner at the hotel. Thank you again for the review, it is greatly appreciated and I shall pass your comments on. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations Representative
"Dreadful"
Hotel is very shabby and run down. A labyrinth of faded 1970s chinz. The place smelt of wet dog. My room was very hot and the staff had opened the windows and so full of insects. Worse was yet to come....my toilet had either not been cleaned or there was a problem with the plumbing as there was a turd in the pan. My colleague later told of the same in his toilet. It made my skin crawl to put my feet on the dirty carpet. Don't stay here people - go book a Premier Inn or a T'Lodge: they might be cheaper, they might not be, but at least you will get 21st century guaranteed cleanliness and hygiene.
Dear Consumer_Warrior, Thank you for the review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was disappointed that you did not enjoy your experience at our hotel and would like to apologise for any cleanliness issues that were not up to our usual impeccable standards. I can assure you that all guestrooms and public areas of the hotel are thoroughly cleaned every day and that our housekeeping team take pride in the high standard of cleanliness and hygiene, which our guests hold in high regard, as can be seen from previous reviews. Thank you for bringing this isolated incident to our attention. Please accept my sincerest apologies that this effected your stay with us and please be assured that your feedback will go a long way to ensuring that it does not happen again. Thank you again for the feedback. We do hope you will allow us the opportunity to welcome you back again, to experience the high standards and service that we pride ourselves on. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations Representative
"Pretty horrible!"
Probably the worst hotel room I've had the displeasure to stay in. Smelly, uncomfortable bed, awful bathroom, tatty poor quality furnishings etc. The general fabric of the building is also in need of urgent maintenance. Service and food was just about OK for a budget hotel, but a full refurbishment is well overdue.
Dear Oxford-Traveller, Thank you for the review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. The comfort of our guests is very important, so I was disappointed to read your comments regarding your guestroom. Our hotel undergoes regular maintenance in keeping with the period property and to ensure that our guest rooms are of a high standard. I can assure you that your comments will be passed onto the maintenance team. Thank you again for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated and will be discussed with the management team. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations Representative
"My daughters wedding"
My daughter was married at this venue on Saturday 24th June, As well as several other guests at the wedding we stayed on the Friday and Saturday night. The Webbington is looking a little tired and could certainly do with, in my mind a overdue make over. We also for some reason did not have our room refreshed on the Saturday even though I had alerted reception to this. So a couple of rather minor niggles and I will now tell you about the plus points. The staff were outstanding. Duty managers Dan and Jamie and the wedding cordinator were excellent in making sure my daughters special day was indeed special. The food for the wedding breakfast although not exceptional, was well presented, hot and served quickly enough for guests to eat at the same time. Impressive with 90 guests eating a three course meal. The premises although a little tired are clean and tidy. The staff from reception through to bar staff, waiting staff housekeeping and as mentioned the management team are to be congratulated for making the weekend something we will all remember fondly. Nothing seemed too much trouble from the staff. Well done and thank you to all involved. Richard Cooper, father of the bride.
Dear Richard C, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your daughter's wedding at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was delighted that you enjoyed the celebrations and that you left with very fond memories. I will most certainly pass your comments onto our maintenance team regarding the décor and would like to apologise if your room was not refreshed on the Saturday evening when requested. However, I was glad that you thought our hotel premises were clean and tidy. Our hotel management and events team are passionate about ensuring weddings and events run smoothly, so it was absolutely wonderful to hear that you thought they were excellent and that they made your daughter's wedding day very special. As a popular wedding and events venue, our chefs have years of experience in serving great quality food to a large number of guests. I was pleased that you enjoyed the food and that the service was very efficient. Our hotel staff take pride in their customer service, so I was thrilled to read your kind words about our bar and waiting staff, housekeeping team, management and wedding co-ordinators; they will be pleased to hear that they helped make your weekend so wonderful. Thank you again for your kind words. I was delighted that you had a great weekend celebrating your daughter's marriage. I do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back to the Webbington Hotel and Spa in the future. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations Representative
"Nice old building - lots of stairs and nooks and crannies."
Don't use your sat nav to find your way here. We went all around the lanes and took much longer than was necessary to get to the hotel It was a pity that check in and the staff involved was appalling and let down all the other members of staff who went out of their way to be helpful. We - eventually -stayed in room 19 which was high up and very quiet as long as you do not open the windows. The M5 is not far away but there was no sign nor sound of the wedding party. There are a lot of stairs and there is no lift. The bed was very comfortable. The bar area is quite small and not very comfortable but the outside patio seating is fantastic with lovely views. What a pity that there were no sunshades on one of the hottest days of the year. We enjoyed the small pool which was clean and bright and although we enjoyed the steam room and sauna, we were surprised that we had to trek through the gym to get there. Be sure to take your towel with you. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and egg dishes cooked to order. We appreciate that we were unlucky with the check in experience and would probably stay again if in the area.
Dear Pengor, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and I will be sure to pass your comments onto relevant staff. We strive to provide a warm welcome at our hotel, and our staff are often commended for their friendly and helpful customer service. So, I was surprised to read that you did not experience this upon your arrival. Although, I was pleased that you thought the rest of our staff were very helpful. It was wonderful to read that you found your bed very comfortable and that your room was quiet. Our hotel is a popular wedding & events venue, so we do try to allocate non-event guests rooms which are away from the function to prevent noise disturbances, so I was pleased you were not disturbed during your stay. Due to the period property, our hotel does not have a lift. However, porterage is readily available and our staff are always happy to offer their assistance. It was great to read that you thought our outside patio seating was fantastic and that you enjoyed the stunning countryside views. I was delighted that you enjoyed using our spa and leisure facilities, including the swimming pool and sauna/steam room and I would like to apologise if you felt the layout was inconvenient. The chefs at our hotel take pride in the quality of food they serve, so it was great to read that you enjoyed your breakfast and that you thought our menu was plentiful.

"Good in parts"
Set in beautiful countryside with some glorious views, if you ignore the nearby M5 which provides a constant bzckground of noise. The reception, bar and spa are all good, but our room, the corridors and stairways are all tired and need refurbishment. The hotel is a rambling old house and our room in the eaves would not have been suitable for anyone over 5 foot 10 inches if they wanted to shower. We were there at the same time as a large wedding party who took over the bar for pre-reception drinks and were using it in the evening too. If the hotel wants to host such events they should arrange for separate facilities and access to avoid unnecessary compromises for other guests. However, food and drink prices are reasonable. We ate in the the restaurant on Saturday night and had a good meal that was raised to a great meal by our waiter, Rowan, who was a real treasure. He was unerringly polite, attentive and informative without being intrusive and made our evening.
Dear Stewart H, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was pleased that you enjoyed the countryside location of our hotel and that you thought the views were glorious. We do have good access to the motorway, however our hotel is set back, so I was surprised to read your comments regarding the background noise, many of our guests do comment on how quiet the hotel is. It was great to read that you thought our reception, bar and spa facilities were good. Although, I was disappointed to read your comments regarding the corridors, I will be sure to pass this onto our maintenance team. Our hotel staff take pride in their customer service, so it was wonderful to read that you thought your waiter was a real treasure, with his polite, attentive and informative manners; I will pass your compliments on. I was also pleased that you thought the food and drink prices at our hotel were reasonable and that you enjoyed your meal. Although, I would like to apologise if you were unable to access the bar. Thank you again for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated and will be passed onto relevant staff. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations Representative
"Tired but"

"Almost 5/5"
We gathered for a full on family party on a day with a massive wedding. The hotel coped with us all brilliantly. There were just a few little things which knocked the edges off a bit. The rooms were spread around a rambling building. V comfortable but anonymous. Very good to have an abundance of electric sockets for charging phones etc. Pool and health facilities were good. We had a lovely time. However despite pre-warning the hotel that our daughter was vegan and gluten free- they 'ran out' of of options by breakfast which put a bit of a downer on the stay. Thanks particularly to our lovely barmaid.
Dear Jonny W, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your recent stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was pleased that you enjoyed your family party at our hotel and that our staff provided you with brilliant customer service. I was pleased that you found your rooms very comfortable with excellent electrical facilities, although I am sorry for any inconveniences caused by the hotel layout. I was also glad to hear that you thought our leisure facilities and spa were good and do hope you enjoyed using them during your stay. I was surprised to read your comments regarding the breakfast options and would like to apologise for the inconveniences this caused for your daughter, I will most certainly pass this onto the management team.

"This could be a gem of a hotel"
The exterior of the hotel and surroundings are beautiful. There are wonderful views from the terrace. The hotel reception staff are very welcoming and helpful. We stayed in a superior room (9) which was spacious and had a comfortable bed and was lovely with the beams, open ceiling and original features. We had a few problems, the worst of which was the food. The menus in the restaurant are extremely limited. On the first night my fish was way over cooked and I had to choose a different dish which when served had none of the sauces etc. and was just the steak. On the second night my partners bolognaise had very little meat/sauce and my dessert was served whilst he was eating his main as "the kitchen staff want to go home". Breakfast looked good but didn't taste as good, except for the pastries. Our room wasn't properly cleaned after the first night. The beauty room was not open all day. Whilst this is separate to the hotel it would be helpful if the hotel staff were aware of this and were aware of how to contact them for bookings. Once I was in there it was great. The pool closes for cleaning lunchtime, but this was not posted, and the changing room is it great. The Terrace and bar/lounge is lovely to relax in but for a lot of the time you have to ring reception for them to get someone to serve you. Overall considering the cost compared to other Best Westerns in the area this is fair value for money. We are considering a return visit to see if these issues are resolved. If they are this could be a wonderful place to stay.
"Over night stay"
Our room has been newly refurbished, it was clean and nice, with beautiful views over The country side. We found al the staff extremely helpful and friendly. There was a wedding and party going on, being a Saturday, but we didn't feel any less looked after. Pool is lovely, and you can sit outside on a warm day and look at the views. We ate in and found the food very good. We stopped off on our way down to Cornwall and we will do it again. Highly recommend- still has that personal touch big hotels often lose.
Dear Corinnajoy, Thank you for such a complimentary review following your recent stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was delighted that you enjoyed your overnight stay. We are lucky to be located in such an idyllic setting, overlooking the Somerset levels, yet within good reach of the m5 motorway. I was pleased that you enjoyed the location and thought our hotel was a good stop off point along your travels to Cornwall. I was delighted that you enjoyed the personal touches of our hotel and that you were comfortable in your recently refurbished guestroom. I was also pleased you found your room cleaned to a good standard and that you enjoyed the countryside views from your room.

"A really pleasant homely hotel with style."
We attended this hotel because my nephew (one of many) decided to get married here. We came the day before for a chill out session and were delighted with the welcome and atmosphere. Apparently this was an Edwardian house and the design and decor has been largely kept which means that its not a modern facility with pristine purpose built rooms but a building full of character and charm. The staff were very attentive and friendly and the food was well above average. We were in the extended part of the hotel with 3 floors of rooms. There was no lift which was a bit of a struggle with the cases as we were on the 3rd floor but we were offered a member of staff to help us move in. We chose to be a bit healthy and did it ourselves. The dining room was really charming, again styled in the original way and this added to the character of the hotel. The wedding was superbly handled and all amenities offered to the guests including the extensive patio area with views across the Somerset levels to the nearby town of Burnham on Sea. When using hotels we tend to use more budget national chains but this, although a bit more expensive, was well worth the extra. Its a good base to be to explore the area with National Trust houses, The Steam railway, Weston Super Mare and Burnham on Sea to visit. And the breakfast is something really special! And the swimming pool is an inclusive facility and you can use the Spa (maybe an additional cost). All in all - well worth a visit
Dear Ian L, Thank you for the review following your recent stay and wedding attendance at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was pleased that you enjoyed your stay and that you liked the location of our hotel, which is situated in the heart of the Somerset countryside, and within reach of many local attractions. Our hotel staff are often commended for their friendly customer service. So, it was wonderful to read that you received a warm welcome and that you thought our staff were friendly and attentive. Our hotel was originally an Edwardian Manor, of which we have sympathetically restored to create a peaceful and spacious hotel with an array of spa and leisure facilities. I was thrilled to read that you enjoyed the atmosphere of our hotel and that you thought our traditional period property was full of charm and character. I was delighted to read that you thought our food was well above average, I will be sure to pass your compliments to the chef. Due to the period property, we do not have a lift at the hotel, however porterage assistance is readily available by our staff and I was pleased you were offered help with your luggage. Our hotel is a popular wedding and events venue, and it is always great to receive guest feedback. I was delighted that you thought the wedding was superbly handled and that you liked the amenities and stunning views of the Somerset levels.

"Super Wedding Day reception !"
We held our daughter and son in laws wedding reception here on Saturday , and the day was wonderful. The Wedding events team were really helpful , our son in law is Danish, and we wanted to combine the two cultures on the day, and it went marvellously The staff were so helpful in delaying the serving of food , in between courses, so we could fit in all the speeches and traditions , nothing was a problem to them. The Tiark room looked fabulous , thank you ! Our evening party was in the Bleadon suite , and the Garden room, and everything such as the flowers, etc was carefully moved , so that the evening looked as lovely as the day time . Would highly recommend , thank you Lucy, and all the team, you made a day to remember for ever .
Dear ferg2, Thank you for such a complimentary review following your daughter and son in laws wedding reception at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was absolutely delighted that you had a wonderful day and thoroughly enjoyed celebrating the special occasion. Our wedding and events team are passionate about ensuring wedding receptions run smoothly and that the day is exactly as the happy couple wished for. It was wonderful to hear that everything went marvellously and that Lucy, the events team and hotel staff all helped make it a day to remember.

"Pictures can be deceiving."
Decent hotel, but pictures can be deceiving. It looked quaint and well-kept in photos, but I found the place to be a bit outdated and run down. Our room was way, way in the back of the building, yet the only access to it was through the lobby, then a series of inconvenient corridors and a courtyard.The beds were hard, pillows very flat, and I could feel the mattress springs beneath me. There was also a very loud wedding party while we were there, which the staff courteously warned us of, but it was frustrating when rather drunken guests were retiring to their rooms in a bustle of noise in the wee hours of the morning.
Dear EmBentley, Thank you for the review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. Your feedback is appreciated and I will most certainly pass your comments onto relevant staff. I was pleased to read that you would describe the Webbington as a decent hotel. In keeping with the period property, our hotel is decorated in a traditional style to embrace it's Edwardian charm and character. I would like to apologise if the interior was not to your taste and am sorry if you found the layout inconvenient. The comfort of our guests is very important, so I was disappointed to read your comments regarding the bed. When brought to our attention, our hotel staff will always try to rectify any issues or will re-assign guest rooms if possible to ensure you are comfortable during your stay. Prior to booking, we do advise our guests when there is a wedding taking place and we do our best to prevent noise disturbances by assigning you rooms away from the function. I was pleased you appreciated the courteous warning, although I am sorry if your sleep was disrupted by the wedding guests. Thank you again for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated and I will be sure to pass your comments on. Kind regards, Maria Guest Relations Representative
"Evening reception and hen do"
we had our evening reception at the Webbington hotel, loxton on the 27th of may this year. I have a few issues we tried raising them with the staff but they were not interested. I will start off with my hen party we had also at the Webbington the weekend before the wedding, the staff were useless and did not have any idea of the simple questions we were asking, we were not informed that the steam room was not working and when we went to the bar to order lunch we got treated like we were a hinderance by the duty manager (gentleman of coloured ethnicity) he was very rude and not friendly in the slightest, When this was brought to a member of staff attention all she could say was 'I don't know what to say, sorry she was foreign and pregnant. Then we come to the wedding day, they put out signs in the car park that said 'baker and Bowden wedding' surely it should of just said Bowden wedding? I had my guests asking why they had done it like that. We arrived just after 6 like I said we would and the place was not even set up properly, not even a till on. Then we come to the food, it was not presented attractively at all, just looked like it had been thrown together, then to top it off the chicken on the bone was very undercooked! It was brought to the attention of staff and all they did was appolagise and take the chicken off, didn't even bring any out to replace it. We were told check out was 11.30 then to receive a call at 11 saying check out was 11! So we went to reception to have in our room key and we were told to wait as the duty manager wanted to talk to us. So we waited and a gentleman came (slim build, tall and dark haired) and said that because the fire alarm got set off we owed them £150! He was quite polite I didn't have much of an issue with him but then another gentleman (duty manager I believe, large build and strawberry blonde hair) came and explained everything again but with a foul attitude, I said to him you can't force us to pay it and he said he could take it from my bank card, I've never been so disgusted in my life our first day of being married and we had to deal with this man being absolutely vile to us saying he could take money from my card without permission! My husband had to walk off and he was getting very wound up and myself and my mum walked off too. So all in all I'm so very disappointed with all the issues I've pointed out and cannot believe I had to deal with it all on my wedding day and the first day of being married, I was just so shocked and disgusted I couldn't believe it. We were not treated respectfully or as valued customers especially considering how much money we spent all together. Rooms were also very expensive! Do not get married here!
Dear Kellie B, Thank you for your review. However, I would like to say how disappointed I was to read your comments. The staff at the Webbington Hotel deliver excellent service and it is a rare occasion that we receive anything but positive feedback, which can be seen in other reviews. I have spoken with the hotel management team and they have informed me that you had expressed your positive feedback on a number of occasions throughout the evening and thanked them for helping calm a heated situation that arose during your celebrations. I would also like to take this opportunity to assure you that the Tandoori Chicken was pink in colour due to the herbs and spices used in the preparation, however, on bringing your concerns to the attention of the management it was replaced immediately. The hotel enforces a strict no smoking policy which includes vaporisers and e-cigarettes and the activation of the fire alarm was clearly not intentional, however, we do have to consider all guests and when an evacuation is activated as this does affected everyone in the hotel. I was glad to learn that no charge has been made for this unfortunate incident. I do hope you have some found memories of the evening and that your family and friends enjoyed the celebration. Kind regards, Latona Leisure Group Guest Relations
"Good hotel but dated"
This hotel is in a beautiful location. The staff are great. The bedroom and bathroom are dated. However, the shower is great and powerful, always a massive plus for me. The breakfast is great as well. I uses the leasure facilities and although the gym equipment is old there is a good selection and a lot of equipment.
Dear Dean S, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was delighted that you thought the location was beautiful. We are lucky to be located in the heart of the Somerset countryside and within good access to major motorways. Our staff take pride in their friendly and helpful customer service, so it was wonderful to hear that you thought our staff were great. In keeping with our Victorian period property, our rooms have traditional décor. However, our rooms are all designed with modern comforts and facilities. I was pleased you thought the shower was great and powerful. It was also wonderful to read that you thought our breakfast was great, I will be sure to pass your compliments on. Our hotel offers an extensive array of spa and leisure facilities, including a swimming pool, sauna, and a gym. I was pleased you enjoyed using the leisure facilities and thought we had a good selection of gym equipment. Thank you again for your review, I do hope we have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future. Kind regards, Maria Walters Guest Relations Representative
"Is this really a 3-star hotel?"
Nice swimming pool and new sauna, used regularly. Nice location overlooking the countryside, but close to Weston, Wells, Bristol and Brean by car. Bed made and bathroom cleaned daily, but I wonder if the floor was ever hoovered. There was a dead bug on the bathroom floor from day 2 and it was left there until we vacated the room 3 days later. Room was not insulated at all, we could hear everything from next door and the corridor. Breakfast was abundant, but the quality of the food was mediocre, hence breakfast was overpriced, particularly if compared to what you can get in Weston for half the price. Moreover the waiting and kitchen staff were overwhelmed by the number of clients, resulting in long waiting times for ordered food. Hence we wisely decided to have breakfast somewhere else. Reception was often unmanned late in the evening, but Mr Joao, the waiter on duty at night, was always very helpful.
Dear Marisa M, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your recent stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was pleased you liked the location of our hotel, which offers stunning views as it is located in the heart of the Somerset countryside. As you mention, our hotel is within good reach of many local attractions including the beaches of Weston, Cheddar Gorge and Bristol city centre. It was wonderful to read that you made the most of our spa and leisure facilities and enjoyed using the swimming pool and sauna regularly. The housekeeping team at our hotel take pride in the cleanliness and presentation of our rooms. I was glad your room and bathroom were cleaned daily, however I was disappointed to read your comments regarding the hoovering and noise. I will be sure to pass your comments onto relevant staff. The chefs at our hotel strive to serve high quality food and are often commended for this. I was pleased you thought that our breakfast buffet was plentiful, however I am sorry if it was not to your taste. I will most certainly pass your feedback onto the chefs and will pass on your compliments to the evening waiter. Thank you again for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated and I do hope we have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future. Kind regards, Maria Walters Guest Relations Representative

"Beautiful location"
The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and the hotel itself is a lovely looking building. The receptionists were friendly and very helpful! We stayed in a family room and it was clean and well presented. The only downside was there was lots on up and down stairs and this was a bit of a nightmare with a 2 year old. We ate in the restaurant, the waiting staff were very nice but the food was so slow to arrive and was ok. We slept fine and as it was a hot night used the fan/heater provided. The shower was good. Breakfast was average at best and think they need extra staff to help as a lot of dirty tables and service was on the slow side.
Dear kelly815, Thank you for the review following your recent stay at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. We are lucky to be located in such a picturesque area, in the heart of the Somerset countryside.

I was also pleased that you were comfortable in your family room, had a good night's sleep and thought it was clean, well-presented and had good shower facilities. Due to the period property, we do not have lifts in our hotel, although assistance from staff and porterage are always available. I was pleased to read that you thought the waiting staff in our restaurant were very friendly and that the food was enjoyable, although I would like to apologise if the service was slow. I will be sure to pass your comments on regarding the breakfast and service. Thank you again for the review, your feedback is greatly appreciated and I do hope we have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future. Kind regards, Maria Walters Guest Relations Representative
"Hen party"

"Food is a disaster. "
My wife and I attended a black tie ball here last night. On arriving at the hotel checking in went well and the room was fine, the only negative was the bed is small being a standard double. We went down to the bar for a quick drink and experienced the slowest, most surely customer service ever. I asked for a bottled beer and a j2o and had to ask for glasses. Seriously I'm 52 years old and in a hotel, I really don't want to swig my drink from the bottle. The ballroom was nice and the tables looked lovely. Then it all started to go wrong. My wife and I both had a first course with a side salad. The salad was verging on rotten and at best brown. I sent them back and the replacement was as bad. I asked to speak to the manager and he agreed it was bad. He brought two bottles of wine for the table. The plates were brought out for the main and three of the ten were filthy. The veg were Bloody awful with the carrots being a particular low point. Not washed properly and gritty. Dessert was fine but when the cheese we'd brought out there was only one biscuit each. Breakfast was excellent though. The entertainment was great and despite the kitchens efforts we had a good night. All in all the hotel is fairly decent but the food was a disaster.
Dear MartockLennie, Thank you for the review following your recent stay and attendance to an event at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. Your feedback is appreciated and will be passed onto the management team.

As a popular venue for events, it is always great to receive guest feedback. I was pleased that you thought the ballroom looked nice and that the tables were presented well. I was also glad that you thought the entertainment was great and that you had a good night. The event consisted of a large group, of approximately 500 guests. Our hotel staff and events team strive to provide efficient and friendly customer service to ensure that you enjoy your time. However, I am sorry if you felt that the service was slow and will be sure to pass this on. I was disappointed to read your comments regarding your dining experience, as our chefs are often commended for their excellent food. I would like to sincerely apologise if the quality of your evening meal was not up to its usual standard and can assure you that your feedback has been passed on. Our management team are always at hand, so I was pleased that the manager provided you with two bottles of wine as a token of apologies. I was pleased that you thought the food at breakfast was excellent and it was wonderful to read that despite your disappointment with the evening meal, you thought our hotel was all in all good and that you enjoyed your night.

"DISABLED VISITOR NO ACCESS FOR WHEELCHAIR ONCE INSIDE HOTEL"
I attended a wedding celebration .As a wheelchair user this hotel is not suitable at all, there are large amount of steps up to the front check in, we was told there was disabled access at rear of hotel, but there was no parking by access.having disabled access at rear of hotel is pointless when every part of the inside of the hotel has steps, steps up to the bar , very high steps up to court yard , steps at the door of court yard, steps in to restrant, stairs to the check in desk. As you can see from this review stairs everywhere. No lifts , I was not able to take part in any wedding photos out in court yard due to not being able to access it. And then if I could get in to the court yard I would not have been able to move out there because it was full of clippings . The rooms have no wheelchair access There was no disabled toilet. The wheelchair would not fit through the toilet door, there was no ramps provided.i understand the hotel is very old and has stunning views but no effort what so ever has been taken to accommodate a wheelchair user, improvements have been made to the hotel so why when these improvements took place was the wheelchair guest not accomandated for. The only positive thing was the bride & groom & bridesmaids were stunning. And compliments to the chief the food was outstanding. As for a disabled guest AVOID this hotel.
Dear helenharris1962, Thank you for taking the time to write a review follow your stay and wedding attendance at the Webbington Hotel and Spa. Your feedback is appreciated and will been passed on to the management team. Our hotel does have an entrance which is suitable for disabled access. However, due to the original Edwardian period property, unfortunately our hotel does not offer a lift. I would like to apologise for the inconveniences this may have caused you. There are a few steps into the bar and restaurant areas, however ramps and assistance into these parts of the hotel are offered by our staff. We do have a room with disabled access in our hotel, which has an en-suite wet room. I would like to apologise if this was not allocated to you during your stay. I do hope you enjoyed your time at the wedding and was pleased that you thought the food in our restaurant was outstanding, I will pass your compliments onto the chefs. Thank you again for the feedback, it will be discussed with the hotel team to identify and address and any areas that may require our attention. Kind regards, Maria Walters Guest Relations Representative

"Overnight stay"
Stayed here to break up a long journey as it seemed more value for money than other motorway stops Was initially worried after reading reviews but i felt we got value for money. Stayed in a room in the courtyard so had to go outside to enter the otger building but it was a very short distance between buildings Room clean, bath as requested, tea & coffee provided. Ate in the bar, meal wasn't great but we felt for what we paid it was acceptable Drinks expensive!! Breakfast included and this was a buffet, no issues with this Ordered poached eggs which were lovely. Overall we felt we got value for money here and a comfortable overnight stay

"Lovely hotel but could be improved"
We were lucky to be given room 110. Quiet, comfortable, fluffy towels and good powerful shower. The location is peaceful surrounded by countryside. The staff particularly the reception and the girl on breakfast duty were very pleasant and welcoming. The only downside was that there was no local or free range produce, not even eggs.This limited my choice at breakfast so I opted for cheese. Would have liked a smaller portion with a couple of crackers perhaps.
Dear mbreary, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your stay at The Webbington Hotel and Spa. I was delighted to read that you enjoyed the peaceful countryside location and do hope you had a relaxing stay.

"Wrk trip "
Typical best western,my room average size with bath shower combo. On my stay there was a wedding party , so hotel not serving food to hotel guests until after they had finished serving the party. No food till 8pm not good had to go out for tea .
Dear paulnorie, Thank you for the review following your stay at Webbington Hotel and Spa, your feedback is appreciated. The rooms in our hotel do vary in size, however when booking you can choose between our standard sized rooms or executive rooms, which are bigger. If our guests are unhappy with their rooms we will always offer an alternative guestroom where possible to ensure you are comfortable during your stay. I was disappointed to read your comments regarding the late restaurant opening time and am sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused. However, our bar menu was open from 6:30pm as an alternative dining option. Thank you again for the review, your comments have been passed on. Kind regards, Maria Walters Guest Relations Representative
"A nice break in a lovely county"
There were lots of positive things:- Staff were friendly, helpful All meals were good quality and served promptly The room was big and the bed huge & shower great & we had a roof terrace Good location for visits Only one slight negative thing is that the hotel (with lots of character not just souless concrete) being old will soon need a fair bit of basic refurbishment

"the worst Best Western we have stayed in"
We chose this hotel because of the swimming pool as we had a long journey and recovering from a knee replacement I needed to do some form of exercise , but on arrival we were told we couldn't use the pool as there was an outside function so no staff were available for the spa, pool or gym!! Obviously paying guests are not a priority but we couldn't understand why the facilities were not available as the function had nothing to do with them and no lifeguard was used anyway. This outside booking must have been made well in advance of ours so why were we not informed of this? The signage in the hotel was bad, windows were filthy and the outside furniture was stained with beer, coffee and had moss growing on them, the sitting area needed a good clean as empty bottles, cardboard, used serviettes were strewn around, ashtrays were full and glasses were left on the tables, which staff ignored!! Service at the bar was awful and the food average to say the least, definitely NOT award winning. The room was not the standard we expect with the carpet being stained, holes in the ceiling, peeling paint and certainly NOT wheelchair friendly; the walk in shower smelt and was not easy to use. When I relayed out observations to reception I was asked if I wanted a manager to contact me which I said yes to, but to date have had NO ONE has. We would NOT recommend this hotel

The maintenance and housekeeping team take pride in the high standards of our hotel appearance and cleanliness. So, I was disappointed to read your comments with regards to the upkeep of our hotel and your guestroom. I can assure you this will be passed on. Our staff at the hotel are often commended for their friendly, efficient and high standards of customer service. So, I was surprised to read your comments about the bar service and food.

"Finally We Visit"
For many years driving East on the M5 we have passed Brent Knoll and then wondered what the big building on the right high up the hill was. It is the subject hotel and has wonderful views out to the Bristol Channel. The hotel has a wide range of facilities the beds and rooms are bijoux, breakfast was fine. I expected the road noise to be horrendous and it is outside, but with the windows closed you cannot hear it. GPS clearly had challenges finding it on postcode details

"Fantastic setting for a wedding!"
We stayed at this hotel for a wedding a couple of weeks ago and had a fantastic weekend. The staff were excellent throughout; from reception, bar and waiting staff to those who dealt with the event and party itself. We ate at the bar on the Friday night, everyone enjoyed their meal and the prices were reasonable. Breakfast was excellent with a great choice of hot and cold options. A lot of people commented on the fact that the cooked items were very good quality. I was happy with my room which was located in the annex; I was in couple of bedrooms in the main building and they were all of an equal standard. The room was well equipped and spacious with a comfortable bed and pillows. The bathroom was well fitted and the shower was powerful. The garden suite proved a lovely venue for the wedding and the staff should be credited for the part they played in the day. It was like having our own wing of the hotel and the gardens provided a picturesque back drop for the photographs. The hotel has a leisure suite which I made use of on both mornings of our stay. There is a good size swimming pool and a well equipped gym. There is also a sauna and steam room although I didn't use those. It was my first visit to this beautiful part of the country and really enjoyed the weekend at this hotel.

"Nice but a few issues"
Stayed here on a 3 night Tesco club card visit so expected a basic room. All ok, room a bit small but that was ok, window wouldn't open or shut so reported and was sorted. Hotel could do with a bit of a face lift, little things, curtains hanging down, rough paint work etc. the only thing I have a problem with is on both the Friday and Saturday there was a wedding, great for the hotel and the families but please staff tell your customers when they check in so we can make a decision about staying for a meal or not. Whilst you have function rooms the guests don't always use them all of the time and unfortunately they feel they have the run of the hotel, what about the others guests? Nice break though.
Dear Pennie M, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel. Your feedback is appreciated and I was pleased that you had a nice break. It was wonderful to read that you liked your room and do hope you had a comfortable stay. I was also pleased that our staff resolved the problem with your window once it was brought to their attention. I would like to assure you I will be sure to pass your comments onto the maintenance team regarding the curtains and paintwork. Our hotel is a popular venue for events and weddings, although on these occasions they are provided with private dining rooms which should not interfere with our non-event guests. I was disappointed to read your comments regarding your dining experience and am sorry for this, I will be sure to pass this on. Thank you again for your feedback. I do hope we have the pleasure of welcoming you back to our hotel in the future. Kind regards, Maria Walters Guest Relations Representative

"Weekend break"
A good hotel, very old so has some nice quirky points. Room was clean and bathroom had all facilities. Bar could do with a spruce up to make it seem more homely, at the moment it s too open and cold, not welcoming. The food was great, service was great, overall very good

"A quirky building"
I spent 3 nights at this hotel recently. The breakfast buffet was reasonable for a hotel of this size & the table d`hote dinners were excellent - good range of choices for each course, food cooked to perfection & very tasty. The staff were, without exception, very friendly & courteous. The building itself is very strange as, depending on the location of your room, it is likely that you will have to leave the building, walk across a courtyard outside, then back into another wing. This is not ideal if it is wet & windy outside. In addition, there are lots of steps up to reception, then many more need to be negotiated if your room is on the second floor. There is no lift, so trying to carry a suitcase to & from the room is not acceptable. I asked for someone to help me with my suitcase at a certain time on the morning of departure, but no member of staff arrived to carry out this task. Fortunately, a charming young man, part of the cleaning staff, saw me struggling down the second storey stairs & asked if he could help. He was an absolute credit to the hotel & very kindly carried my suitcase all the way to the main drive.

"Tired but clean"
Have just returned from a 3 night break at this hotel. We went bed breakfast and evening meal. The hotel is set in a superb location, on a clear day you can see as far as the quantocks, and north Devon. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We found the hotel very clean and the bed very comfortable. The hotel is an old manor and I felt the interior was rather drab and tired. There was absolutely nowhere comfortable where we could sit in the evening and have a drink. The bedroom was very small, had a dirty carpet and lacked double glazing. At one stage the curtains were blowing in the wind. We had no control over the bedroom temperature and at times it got a bit cold. I didn't use the spa facilities as on examination didn't like the idea of having to walk through gym to get to sauna. We stayed in room 204 overlooking a bank. Still worth a visit.
Dear MikeySolihull Thank you for taking the time to post a review following your recent stay at the Webbington Hotel which is as you say set in a fantastic location to enjoy the wonderful vies of the Quantocks. I was delighted to read that your room was comfortable and that our friendly team helped to enhance your stay. I was however disappointed to read of your dissatisfaction with other areas of your stay and would apologies for not meeting or exceeding your expectations. Your feedback is very important to us as it helps us to identify areas that our guests feel could be improved in order to guarantee a relaxing and comfortable stay. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and we look forward to welcoming you again soon. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager.
"Beautiful setting and property."
We really enjoyed our stay from start to finish. The hotel is a lovely Edwardian property overlooking the Mendip hills, which we could see from our room. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The staff were very helpful, friendly and professional from start to finish. The dinner menu was varied and good quality and the waiter was very professional. The only thing that spoiled the evening was a couple with a small child that they had playing a noisy musical game that you could hear over the classical music being played. Other than that it was a great evening that was enhanced by listening to an orchestra that were staying there! The lady that gave our massages and did my nails was great too.My partner said that it was the best massage that he's ever had! The pool is a nice, clean area with fantastic views too. Just a shame that children are allowed in there - hard to relax with them screaming! Maybe there could be an hour or two over a weekend that is child-free. However, Webbington is a great hotel with great staff, food, rooms and setting. Would definitely recommend it and would return again.
Dear AngieB739 Thank you for your review of our hotel. I was extremely pleased to read that you enjoyed our hotel and facilities as we would like for all of our guests to enjoy the experience as you did.

"Is this a spa?"
This review is so odd I want to rave about certain points of the hotel but am frustrated on others. Let me explain with Pro's and Cons Cons: a spa with no Jacuzzi and the oddest layout I have ever seen. When you enter the spa/fitness area the reasonable sized pool is to your left. nothing else there so we asked where the sauna and steam room was. This is were it gets odd you have to walk through the testosterone filled fitness class, easy for me not so much for the women who have to push their way through in their soaking wet swimming costumes. A bit intimidating for some women. in and out of steam room straight into weight lifting grunts. Due to this we used the place once. Our reason to visit was that it was a spa this however spoilt what could have been a great couple of days. The rooms were mostly across the courtyard which was fine in the dry not in the rain. We did find a way around that saved this but if this is the case signpost it do not push people through the courtyard. The rooms were fine no press etc. but clean. Double room when we walked in bed looked huge only to discovery two singles pushed together so no centre of bed. check your satnav this is one of those places that the satnav can send you down 3 miles of single track Pros: Probably one of the best hotels for quality and taste of the food we have been too in a while. The self service breakfast was great. I always mark a hotel by the quality of the bacon and sausages served at breakfast this was top notch. staff were very helpful and professional The hotel was very clean and plenty of parking. Overall: If you want a spa break then its up to you if you mind walking through the very well stocked gym or you just want an hotel for a short break. If the latter great hotel prices/food great go for it. unfortunately I went for the previous.
"Lovely weekend away "
My partner and I stayed here for bank holiday weekend in May. We had a fantastic deal via Booking.com and spent 3 nights here. The location is beautiful. We sat on the verander one evening and had a couple of drinks admiring the view. Also- great central location. We went to bath for the day (which was approx 45mins) and Western (approx 25mins). The room was clean, simple and spacious. It also come with a separate bathroom with an actual bath!!! (Which is rare in hotels these days) The hotel grounds were so pretty, it has a very old fashioned/vintage feel to it.. but I thought it was lovely! The food in the bar area was good, your simple chicken and chips, burgers, nachos etc and not bad priced. Drinks at the bar were resonably priced too. We ate in the restaurant once and I wasn't too impressed. It was very fancy, very small portions and quite pricy, which doesn't do it for me. Overall - it was a lovely weekend her away! Would defiantly return!

"Weekend break"
Over rated hotel, poor dated reception area, no notice taken for special requests, no Tv remote controls, no heating in rooms, mound in bathrooms, spa poor, steam room dangerous, shall not ever return

"Nice hotel"
Stopped here with my son on the 27th following a trip to the speedway to watch the sheff tigers v sonerset meeting.the hotel is quite imposing and very atmospheric once inside and you definately get that distinct edwardian feel about the place which is very pleasant.the room was in the courtyard building so a few steps to negociate but the room was clean.bed comfy and shower more than adequate.breakfast is an option here but is very good value for what you pay.probably one of the best breakfasts that i have had with plenty of choice.it is a buffet breakfast so i would go for the fill english every time.very tasty.all in all a very enjoyable 1 nights stay.would i stay again.yes but hopefully for longer next time.

"Shabby Chic and difficult to find in the dark!"
I was looking forward to staying here and must admit to being disappointed that I wasn't able to stay for longer - just to use the pool and give it a chance. Didn't arrive until 8.00 p.m. so really just wanted to eat and sleep. Room was fine, if a bit musty smelling - like there was a damp problem but the facilities were OK. Due to being late and tired we had the bar menu served in the restaurant - burger & chips was OK but no more than that. Waiting staff very sweet and attentive but not overly so. Breakfast was nice. Some of the public areas did look as though they needed a coat of paint. Just wish I'd had a bit more time here. I will need to return to Weston Super Mare but, due to the nightmare journey in the dark to find it (note - a better sign to the hotel would have proved useful) I'm not sure I would chose to stay here again.
"Relaxing spa weekend"
Awful....£110 on treatements and nails still not dry after 5 hours.curtains mouldy very annoyed after 2 hrs drive checked out refund of £95 given for room.AN expensive waste of time.......went 5 miles down the road and stayed in smiths on the seafront £69 and spotless
"Disappointing"
Having visited the Webbington Hotel numerous times when we were younger and enjoyed it very much my wife and I decided to book in here for a (very rare!) night off from the kids. We have very fond memories of this hotel but sadly when we arrived the entire place was looking very 'tired', I would guess it hadn't had much done to it since we last stayed (about 8 years ago). upon arrival we were greeted by a very friendly receptionist who gave us the keys to our room, unfortunately this was not the room we had booked so we had to go back to reception to inform them. the reception staff could not have been more helpful and found the correct room for us which was much better. we visited the pool and spa area which seems to have stood the test of time much better than other parts of the hotel. We decided to book in to the restaurant in the evening as we didn't want to drive anywhere and also the restaurant is, according to the website, "One of the best restaurant in Weston Super Mare". I don't believe this to be true. The food from start to finish was average at best and awful at worst. Two starters were returned to the kitchen as they were almost inedible, nothing had any flavour whatsoever. The main courses were marginally better but still distinctly average, I have had better food in a Wetherspoons. The waiting staff were brilliant however and changed our meals without hesitation. eventually we spoke to the restaurant manager who agreed to wipe our starters from the bill and offered 2 glasses of wine as a goodwill gesture which we accepted. Needless to say we decided against dessert. On the whole the hotel has some excellent staff who are doing their best despite an ageing hotel and a chef who is frightened to use any form of flavour in his dishes!
"Stop over on the way down to Devon"
We were in a room looking over the front of the hotel - the views were incredible. The room was a decent size with 2 armchairs, huge double bed and snug ensuite. We booked through tripadvisor and got a decent last minute deal. We were only staying for the 1 night on our way down to Devon, so we weren't looking for luxury, just a place to lay our heads for the night. The hotel looks really nice from the outside, and has got decent amenities. The only thing to look out for is the stairs. We had to climb quite a few stairs to get to our room with a lot of bags - I don't think there was a lift. We stayed on a Thursday night and so it was pretty quiet. We didn't use the bar or restaurant so can't comment on the service or food. I would stay here again on our way down to the South West.
Dear Catherine w Thank you very much for you recent review, I'm delighted to read that you had an enjoyable stay here at the Webbington and that we could provide you with everything you needed. It is always good to hear that guests have enjoyed their stay and appreciated the hard work that goes in to ensuring all of our guest have an enjoyable and memorable stay and that they will return and I look forward to welcoming you then. Thsank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel Kind regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"A real gem"
We booked this hotel as it offered parking and 24 hour reception - as we were dropping our dog off at a nearby vet and were unsure of our arrival time. We ended up staying two nights and although concerned for our dog, we had a wonderful time. We could not believe that this hotel could offer such value for the modest price we paid. What we loved : the history - an Edwardian family home turned 1950's hot spot night club, turned family friendly hotel; the amazing walks onto the Mendips and National Trust woodland - right from the doorstep; the luxury pool with fabulous views of Somerset levels; the relaxing sun terrace; the wonderful service (we needed a gluten free / vegetarian meal and although not on the menu, staff were ultra helpful and offered us 3 options). The whole place was spotlessly clean and even though staff were busy as a wedding was about to happen, time was taken to make us welcome and well cared for. I'd certainly love to return as soon as possible. If I could change one thing it would be to have dog-friendly rooms available as I'm sure many dog owners would love the walks from the hotel.
Dear HelenElliottArt We appreciate you sharing your comments regarding your recent stay at the Webbington Hotel . It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback such as this. I will share your comments with the team at the hotel as I am sure this feedback will serve as encouragement to all our staff to continue to strive to provide the high levels of service and standards that we pride ourselves on. Thank you again for your kind comments and recommendations I do hope that you canine friend is fully recovered. We look forward to welcoming you at our hotel in the future.

"OK"
Good price via the Best Western website, which was actually a couple of quid cheaper than Late Rooms/Booking.com etc etc.... I don't like the trick of charging twenty quid for two for breakfast. We seem to have lost the blanket across the board B&B rate, which after all is what people really want when they are staying away from home isn't it? I feel it's really 'off' doing this. Why make rooms appear artificially cheaper than they are in reality? Nice location, M5 motorway close-by not that intrusive in terms of noise. Good old country house style hotel. Reception experience was overly long and laborious and what proper hotel these days makes you pay on arrival???? It's different if one takes advantage of a 'pay in advance' rate online for example. They already had my credit card details that reserved my booking and also for the 'extras' I might accrue in the bar and restaurant so I'm not sure if they thought I looked like the type of bloke who might do a runner! I'd been driving for five hours and didn't need a long stay at Reception...just saying. The receptionist chap kept saying 'Alrightee guys' too which I found irritating... The room was really good although up and down dale to find located in the out building. Pleased with that element. Not that impressed by the breakfast experience though. Indeed I left half of it and I NEVER normally leave a full English, I can assure you. The items were on a hot plate under metal cloche type things and so were a bit past their best by the time I got there...to be quite honest. I also judge a quality hotel by the quality of their breakfast orange juice and sadly they failed that test. Also my first pot of coffee was good quality. Why was my second one definitely Tesco Value? No need for them to do that regardless of what the room tariff. Trust me I can tell the difference between good and bad coffee... However, the waitress was nice and helpful and I felt sorry for her because she was all on her own - a task that she accomplished very well, I thought, so well done to her. A £10 breakfast should be better in my opinion. Don't mean to sound like I am nit-picking but for eighty quid I expect a few things to be like other hotels that I stay in. Value for money is important to me. If others can do it this place can. They have all the elements that could raise them to the next level. They are very close to achieving this and so I know they can do a bit better. Overall all though I would stay here again as the room was clean and very nice. Also got a very decent night's sleep.
Dear Steve H Thank you for your recent review. I will be sure to share your observations with all concerned. I would like to sincerely apologise for not exceeding your expectations at breakfast and can assure you that your comments will be used to help maintain and improve our standards and services although I feel I must point out that the coffee served would be the same throughout service. We would very much like the opportunity to welcome you backagain for a future stay so that you may experience first-hand our hospitality and also a guest room in the main house which offers spectacular views out across the Somerset Levels. Please do not hesitate to contact the hotel directly should you wish to return and we will be only too pleased to personally assist you with any future reservation and assure you of a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

"The jury is still out"
This is a mixed review. Positives.... Lovely views, lovely building, good food, gym facilities (I didn't use so no comment). Tea and coffee making facilities ?? Large car park ? Good buffet breakfast ? Negatives.... Very hilly, lots of steps, no lift (Not that I saw), some rooms up in the roof space, and if you're like me 6' 2", I was constantly banging my head and ducking! Room was cold and slightly dated in my opinion. Plug in electric heater ? Would I stay again? I'm not sure.... I really hurt my back fighting with heavy doors on the stairs, whilst wrestling with a suitcase and laptop bag etc. Very strange layout. The fire doors weigh a tonne and they don't stay open long enough to get yourself and bags through before they clamp you or your belongings in their vice like grip! I was offered help with my bags and I admittedly refused as I wasn't aware of the Crypton Factor style assault course that lay in wait for me. If you get offered help, take it, don't be proud ?? Only took one picture from the room. This was lovely to wake up to and stare at before back to reality of going to work.
Dear AK47Northampton Thank you very much for taking the time to post a review following your recent stay at the Webbington Hotel your positive comments are most welcome. I was delighted to read that you enjoyed the views and the meals provided. I was however concerned to read of your struggle with your luggage. We always offer help with luggage precisely for that reason. Our lovely old building does not lend itself to the installation of a lift and is set our over several levels which can cause some difficulties. I do hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you again soon and thank you for choosing The Webbington and for your feedback. Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Wedding reseption"
Wedding reseption afternoon and evening then over night stay We would thoroughly recommend the Webbington for a wedding reseption We dropped off table plans etc etc the day before All was in place on the day with out a hitch They could not have been more helpful excellent three course meal and buffet in the evening
Dear weston018 Thank you so much for your very kind words in relation to the wedding you attended here at The Webbington Hotel It was an honour to be chosen as the venue for this very special day and all the staff enjoyed being part of this wonderful celebration for all the couple's family and friends. I was delighted to read that you found everything to be of a high standard and all the staff were friendly and helpful throughout. We are all very proud of the facilities we have available at the Webbington and take pride in ensuring that every couple has the Wedding of their dreams – to remember for the rest of their lives. I am delighted you felt this was a memorable wedding day and do hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you all to Webbington again in the future. Kind regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Lovely Weekend"
The hotel looks inviting from the exterior and the interior looks very relaxing, with plump leather sofas and a beautiful view. Our room was very comfortable and clean. The breakfasts were the best we have ever had in a hotel (including other Best Western). The staff were extremely attentive, and very willing to please. We liked the late check out 11.00am. Lots of parking. If we are ever in the area again we would certainly stay here and we would have no hesitation in recommending the hotel.
"Fab Stay"
As usual really enjoyed our overnight stay at The Webbington. Room has been refurbished to a high standard. Great that we could get the internet so easily and for free in our room. Always enjoy staying here.
"4 day break within the area Axbridge - Weston Super Mare"
Lovely hotel. Lovely room. Majority of the staff lovely too. Felt sorry for the only woman on the bar area trying to serve and take money and a Wedding in full swing - but she coped and was pleasant enough. Lovely chap on the bar following night ... extremely pleasant and helpful. Would stay here again if we are ever in the area and they have rooms available. Room was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was good. Wasn't too overly enthralled with the 'set' menu meal though, but it was edible and cooked ok just not very exciting. Excellent break and stay thoroughly enjoyed
Dear Gill B Thank you very much for your kind review. We appreciate your complimentary comments and were delighted that you found our team pleasant and helpful and enjoyed the facilities and meals provided during your stay.

"Weekend in somerset"
Enjoyed a weekend stay in the webbingon hotel, good hotel clean and well appointed, however beds really uncomfortable very hard, we didn't have a good nights sleep. Also there was a wedding evening do and we could hear the disco very clearly till past midnight. Breakfasts very good but staff did seem to be a bit confused when I asked for pouched eggs! Bar lady very cheerful and very helpful when asked about the local area.the hotel is out of the way and on a narrow lane, but don't get a taxi if you go out for the evening as it costs £24 each way for a 7mile drive!!! Lovely country side and lots to do
De andrichar Thank you for your review. I was very pleased to read that you enjoyed our hotel and facilities and may I take this opportunity to offer my sincere apologies for any lack of sleep I have shared your comments with the management team at the hotel a both send their apologies and will ensure any areas of concern are addressed as quickly as possible.

"Tired & Slow Service"
We used to frequent the Webbington in the 90's, and it hasn't changed much since then. It could do with an update, and a general revamp in the guest rooms. My father had to wait quite some time to be served in the bar, the friendly chap on reception took the order in the end (this was at about 12 afternoon time). Also I had booked for breakfast, but on arrival was told that breakfast was not included in my booking. Upon showing the reception staff my Hotels.com receipt, they conceded that yes it was in actual fact included. Breakfast was nice, but again I had to approach staff to take my order.

"Amazing visit, just a few things that need tidying up"
The hotel was lovely, in a lovely area Nice warm welcome by the staff The meals were amazing, and special compliments to Rowan on the waiting team but a number of other staff just needed to be a little better organized, more communicative especially at Breakfast. The Bar wasn't manned at lunch time The room was nice, there were some flies in the bay window on arrival, noisy bathroom fan. Wifi was good with good bandwidth and connectivity Spa facilities were good, shame about the walk from the pool to the sauna / steam room and no space in the changing rooms The place needed a Jacuzzi or hot tub.
"A bit of old fashioned luxury"
A lovely stay, very convenient for the Yeo Valley gardens, and Chew Valley. Our room was lovely and old fashioned in the older main building with a beautiful view over the Somerset levels. Watched the sun set from the outside terrace and made good use of the swimming pool.
Dear Francis C Thank you for your recent review. I was delighted to read that you had an enjoyable stay with us and were able to enjoy all aspects of our hotel. The views from the hotel are indeed amazing and our location although very rural has easy access to both Bristol and Bath and many other tourist locations. We welcome all reviews and guest comments so that we can maintain and improve our standards and services, along with anticipating the changing needs of all our guests. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager.
"Late leisure break. "
Booked the day before travelling and was given a very good price. We asked for a room which is quiet as our last hotel had three weddings and was extremely noisy. We were told there was a ball on the Saturday night but was given a room in the main house right at the top. No noise except from the m5 so was peaceful. The room was reached by three flights of stairs a bit of a trek but then I didn't tell them I am partially disabled. The room was tired but clean and in need of a good update. Staff all very good and the food good if boring! The pool was lovely but the men's changing room had two showers and no room to swing a cat with only one meter of bench!! I would come again as the view is spectacular and especially from our room.
Dear Spurgindavid Thank you very much for your review of our Webbington Hotel, I was delighted to read that you enjoyed our hotel and the facilities offered in the Spa and that you would visit us again. Your feedback is very important to us and will be shared with the management team.

"Tired in need of update"
so booked to relax away for one night after recently being ill. On booking requested a lower ground room due to being partially disabled and suffering fatigue. The room was up 3 flights with no lift, small and dated with a view of a grass bank. The rooms are dark wood not that clean and dated, not soundproofed and there was no regard for other residents, after being woken several times by noisey guests. Room service was good although food was of poor quality!! so im writing this review at 230am after being woken again. I wouldnt stay here again.
Dealisa dr Thank you for posting your review.

"wedding"
My son got married here 23 september, it was a glorious day which meant the wedding could go ahead outside, it was a brilliant day, the staff were great, the food for the wedding was gorgeous, it is the best place to host a wedding, the rooms were nice and beds very comfortable. It is an amazing place
Dear Karen D Thank you so much for your very kind words in relation to the wedding of your son here at the Webbington Hotel.

"Clean, welcoming hotel with a great sun terrace"
Stayed here with my husband and 2 children (6yrs and 3yrs). Had to have 2 rooms but they were next to each other so fine. Comfortable beds, tea/coffee facilities in the room with biscuits. Bathroom clean but a little tired looking, fine though. Sun terrace was beautiful, had our evening meal out there, reasonably priced and good quality. Breakfast was plentiful, lots to choose from cooked, fruit, cereals, toasts and danishes. Swimming pool was nice, changing rooms were clean. Good place to stay to break up our drive from the Midlands to Devon.
Dear Treenie_Jane Thank you for your recent review. I was delighted to read that you enjoyed your stay with us and found your guest rooms comfortable. The hotel is a period property with many original features and rooms, traditionally decorated to create comfortable and enjoyable surroundings for our guests to enjoy, with the added bonus of a modern leisure club and spa facilities. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel & Spa , we look forward to welcoming you back again soon on your next visit to Devon. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Could be better "
I stayed here with my mum for one night. We used to live locally so took a trip down memory lane. We'd booked a twin room but we were surprised that this simply meant 2 single beds completely pushed together - not a big deal for us as we're family but it would be worse if we were colleagues or didn't know each other well - generally if you book a twin room it is because you don't want to sleep with the other person! The bar wasn't staffed so each time we needed serving I had to go down to reception for her to call on someone. This made me feel like I was being a nuisance and I feel a bell or buzzer on the bar itself would have been a much better idea. The terrace was understandably deserted as the weather wasn't great, but there was a plate and cutlery that was there on a table for the full duration of our stay - God knows how long it has been there. It looked dirty with dead flies in it, needless to say not very nice. The food in the restaurant was nice in the evening, but not cheap at £27 (I think?) for 3 courses. It was nice but not amazing. The spa has improved significantly since we used to go there 15 years ago. It looks nice and there's a pool, sauna and steam room. The gym is well equipped too. It's a shame one has to walk through the gym to get from the pool into the sauna/steam room though, again not a big deal but could be better. The beautician there, Sue Gale offered some excellent treatments at very reasonable prices. I had a facial, massage and manicure package and left feeling great and utterly pampered - the massage was the best I've had in years so highly recommend paying her a visit. We do like the Webbington hotel and probably will be back as the hotel holds many memories for us. Hopefully it will have improved further by the next time we visit.
Dear SandyScandy Thank you for your review. We were very glad to read that overall you enjoyed your stay especially the treatments provided by Sue. I must however take this opportunity to apologise for not exceeding your expectations with regards to your dining experience. Service is a key part of the experience at the hotel and we are normally praised highly for the level we provide, it was disappointing to read that it was below our own standards and I will make sure to share your feedback with the management team to ensure we continue to offer the standards and service that we pride ourselves on. Thank you for coming back to the Webbington Hotel, we do look forward to welcoming you again and should you require accommodation in the area again please do not hesitate to contact the hotel directly or via our website as we would personally like to assist with any future bookings and assure you of an enjoyable and comfortable stay. Kindest regards Guest Relations Manager
"Lovely comfy"
Came here for one night with my partner for my birthday as was a reasonable price. Room was comfy but not overly big. Spa and swimming pool were lovely facilities. Cant comment on the food as we were just room only. Drinks seemed a little expensive. Would however go back

Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manger.
"Worth a visit"
I visited here recently with friends as we were curious to see this place which you can see up on the hillside from the M5 between Burnham on Sea and Weston super Mare. It was a sunny day so we had lunch in the garden with great views including the M5 but with a constant hum of traffic. The food was fine but the menu was fairly plain with no restaurant menu on a weekday lunch time.
"Noisy wedding and guests to deal with"
A nice hotel we have stayed at before. There was two weddings during our two night stay. One on each night. The manager moved us to a much nicer and quieter room for the second night. The food and staff are very good. The rooms in the courtyard catch all the noise from the function rooms opposite. There are no lifts. The hotel is in a nice location and appears to be quite well maintained. Check before you book if there are any functions being held at the hotel.
Dear Malcolm F Thank you for taking the time to post a review following your return visit to the Webbington Hotel. We are a very popular wedding venue and endeavour to ensure that the wedding celebrations do not impinge on the enjoyment of our other guests. I am very sorry that this does not appear to be the case on this occasion and for this I apologise. However I was pleased to read that we were able to accommodate you away from the celebrations on the second night. I was also delighted to read your kind comments regarding the staff and the food and for this I thank you. I do hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you to The Webbington Hotel again soon. Kind regards Sabrina Cox Guest RElations MAnager
"MY WIFES 70 BIRTHDAY"
we have visited this hotel before and booked a 3 night stay 22/09/2016 to 25/09/2016 as a present for my wife over all we had a very enjoyable time visiting Wells and other atractions. the staff were very attentive,polite and worked very hard to make our time there very plesurable.roses and champagne in room as requested and cake at birthday meal was exallent. how ever i feel i must comment that our room no 2 was very small for a double with only a very small closet to hang cloths with only 3 hangers no drawer space at all and the bath room is in need of a make over mold on tiles brown stains on bath panel lots of flys in over head light fitting. food in resturant average at best although meals served from bar menu were exallent (i also over heard at reception 2 other guests complain about ther rooms one in the court yard and number 10 in the house who canceled and went to another hotel ) to sum up good hotel in fabulus location very good staff but need to sort out rooms and resturunt meals more basic less pretention

"Dark and dirty"
The hotel is in an Edwardian building, and has a good location with great view, but: unless you like it dark, dirty and smelly, avoid it. The hallways, stairs and rooms was really dark and dirty, and in need of a makeover. We had dinner in the bar, and the food was acceptable but not more.It did not live up to the description at all.
Dear ekko2014 Thank you for your recent review following your stay at our hotel. I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for not exceeding your expectations.

"poor poor service"
decent location, good nearby amentities, the breakfast and food service is shocking!!! room was so small and bed was pathetic, shocking nights sleep, told i got the room due to checking in late that day!

"Mind your head"
A very well presented hotel in a great location with stunning views. The road access is very narrow and winding so take care. The facilities are very good. Staff were friendly. Room was very clean. BUT. Was given a room at the top at the side of the hotel facing the M5 motorway. Fortunately it cooled down at night otherwise the window would have needed to be kept open and the traffic noise would have been disturbing. AND don't stay in the top rooms if you are tall. I banged my head on the low ceiling in the bathroom and shower. Food at dinner was quite tasty but limited. Breakfast was very tasty.
"Good but not very good"
This place is only to find with a GPS. The small roads leading to it made us continental Europeans sweat because any oncoming traffic meant a challenging evasive action. The hotel is an old building from the Edwardian era. Unfortunately we had asked for a room on a higher floor preferably with a view. That meant we had to carry our bags up several steps through several doors before we ended up in a room with sloping ceilings. The size was good, it looked comfortable and it was clean. The TV could have been bigger because it was quite far away from the bed. The nostalgic windows had still the original hinges but they needed desperately some tlc. From the room we had a view of a disgusting building and a kitchen extractor was very noisy throughout the evening. We had to be careful in the bathroom not to bump our head on the sloping ceiling. Breakfast was offered for 10 £ p. P. but we didn't take it. The hotel has a nostalgic flair which – with a better room – would have been quite enjoyable.
"Lovely place"
Me and my partner decided to stop here for a short break before our baby arrived. We arrived early but was told we couldn't check in till 2 but the very helpful lady behind the desk said we were able to look around and use the well equipped spa facilities. We were very impressed with what was on offer. When we checked in and went to our lovely room to see we had a massive bed. After settling in we decided to book a table for some tea. The menu sounded lovely so we had a 3 course meal from start to finish it was beautiful. Over all the service and staff were outstanding and we will defiantly be visiting again. Thank you best western for a great few days.
Dear Ian W Thank you for taking the time to post such a positive review following your recent stay at the Webbington hotel at what must be a busy time preparing for your new arrival. I was delighted to read that you enjoyed your stay and were able to relax in our spa and that our staff were able to enhance your stay. Thank you for choosing the Webbington hotel and we look forward to welcoming you and the new addition very soon. Best wishes Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager.
"The Perfect Stay !"
I had seen this place whilst travelling north on the nearby M5 Motorway and always thought that I would like to stay there - now I have! We were certainly not disappointed. We left the busy M5 and took to real country lanes with one lane traffic and cows! (See photos). Howevfer the experience was brilliant - it all made part of the stay at Webbington. We found it, parked and entered. We had a room overlooking the countryside to the south. A brilliant room and a brillaint hotel - one of the best we have ever had. The staff were lovely and the meals in the restaurant were exceptional. The whole place is a resort in itself. We hope to return before too longer but for longer next time.
Dear Dormouse39 Thank you for taking the time to post a review of our Webbington Hotel. It was a pleasure to read your comments and I am delighted that we did not disappoint you and that you had an enjoyable stay. I will share your comments with the staff at the hotel who I know will be as pleased as I was to read your positive review. The hotel is in a beautiful setting with stunning views and has great facilities including the spa and we hope that we will have the pleasure of welcoming you to the Webbington again soon. Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Motorbike Road Trip"
What a lovely hotel, we arrived on our motorbikes and although a bit hilly we managed to chain them together for the night at the bottom of the front door steps. Checking in was easy and the room clean and very comfortable. The restaurant was already fully booked for the Friday night, so we ordered from the bar, the food menu was varied and food delicious, although to sit up and eat your meal you'd have to go out onto the terrace, although there are settees and tables inside they're more suitable for casual drinking and chatting then eating. We were however able to book a table in the restaurant for the Saturday evening. The waiters were attentive but not overly the food was delicious and each course came with reasonable time between, not too long. In the morning I only had Cereal and Toast so can't comment on the plentiful, cooked breakfast my partner had, though he seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. It was easy to top up the Tea/Coffee making sachets as you just asked at the bar who happily obliged. We used the pool and spa area of the hotel which was clean and well run. We had a lovely time at the Hotel and would recommend it to anyone wanting to visit the area.
Dear mandycastle123 Thank you for your kind comments and recommendation. I am always delighted to read reviews when a guest has enjoyed their stay as you did it is very rewarding. We strive to ensure that we meet and exceed all of our guest's expectations and it gives the staff a great lift when this is acknowledge and I will be sure to share your review with the team at the Webbington. Thank you for choosing the Webbington we look forward to welcoming you again soon. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"One night weekend stay"
After seeing the hotel for many years from Motorway my husband and I decided to stay on Saturday night. It was a little tricky to find using the sat nav but once we had arrived we found the reception desk quite welcoming. Our Room was in the courtyard on the 2nd floor so a bit of a trek. Small room but clean. Bed was a little hard for our liking but clean. Shower room parts had seen better days but clean enough. Shower had a rain shower head as well as normal. Not sure the rain shower head works in a small shower but nice touch. Towels were bath sheets so nice and big. We had room only so cannot comment on breakfast but we did have an evening meal which was excellent. restaurant staff and bar staff were all very friendly and helpful. Over all apart from a large spider which crawled out of the Hotel information book a pleasant stay.
Dear Vanessa D Thank you for taking the time to post a review of our Webbington Hotel. It was a pleasure to read your comments and I am delighted that we did not disappoint you and that you had an enjoyable stay. The hotel is in a beautiful setting with stunning views and has great facilities including the spa and we hope that we will have the pleasure of welcoming you to the Webbington again soon minus spider. Kind regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relation Manager.
"PERFECT"
We arranged a holiday for a large group of friends, staying in The Webbington for three nights bed, breakfast and evening meal. We had nearly all the rooms in the hotel. The rooms in the main house are wonderful, full of character, the rooms in the coach house are clean with comfortable beds and all en-suite so basically they have everything you need. I don't buy the fact that some reviews say "I never had a good view", do they sit in their bedroom all day? We love The Webbington because it is different than the box standard hotels. The food was wonderful, especially when you consider service was for the whole group of people at the same time. OK, lots of stairs if you are on the top floor, but it is pointed out in all the hotels literature that there are no lifts. There are two ground floor assisted rooms for those whole need them. We have to thank The Management and all the staff for the perfect service we all received. We are all looking forward to our next mini holiday with you.
Dear Angela C Thank you very much for your kind and positive review. I will share this with the staff here at the Webbington Hotel who I know will be as delighted as I was to read it. We work extremely hard to provide the high level of both customer service and standards that we believe all our guests are entitled to expect and it is very rewarding when this is acknowledged. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and we very much look forward to welcoming you again soon. Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager.
"Peaceful with a good dining experience"
I have stayed at this hotel a number of times over the last 3 years. The best aspects are the restaurant and the spa/ The restaurant has an excellent menu and the rib eye steak is a delight. A varied menu which does not have the usual hotel menu, I am sure anyone can find something to their liking. As with many hotels the bar is not always staffed and it can be a bit of a wait until staff check to see if anyone is waiting. The gym is reasonably well equipped and has a small pool and steam room next door. The gym is used by local members as well as residents but does not seem to get too busy to use the equipment you want. On a slight negative this hotel is not so easy to get to and a mystery tour on my satnav. Come off the M5 and follow directions to Bristol Airport, take the left turn just when you see the BP station. The terrace provides a nice evening view to enjoy a drink. Not easy for less able bodied people with lots of stairs, as expected built on a hill. Rooms are reasonable and the showers haev always been good in the main building. Recommended but note my comments depeending on your needs.
Dear stevecastle64 Thank you for your kind and positive comments about our hotel. We are always delighted when guest revisit us and I am pleased that you enjoy the restaurant and the Spa. Our restaurant menus change with the seasons and our aim is to ensure that they are varied and interesting. Your feedback is important to us as it enables us to identify areas that our guests feel could be improved to enhance their stay. Thank you for both your feed back and recommendation. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Nice relaxing break"
My wife and I booked for a 1 night stay at the hotel on our way back up from Cornwall as we wanted to see a few of the Somerset sites. We were greeted by a very friendly receptionist who soon had us booked in. Our room was very spacious with a lovely balcony over looking the car park. It is just a shame that it was too wet to use it. Having settled in, we then made use of the pool, steam room and sauna, all of which were well maintained and clean. The only odd experience was having to walk from the pool to the steam and sauna rooms in our swimwear, as they were the other side of the gym. We ate out in the evening at a local pub, but we did enjoy a hearty full breakfast in the hotel's restaurant the following morning. It is in a great location for Cheddar Gorge/Wookey Hole and Weston Super Mare and the surrounding coastline. The only negative is that the beds were very firm. I know this is a matter of preference but we both had stiff backs the following morning.
Dear RA_Bills Thank you for your positive review of our hotel. We value every guest's feedback and responses as it will help us to continue to fulfil our commitment to providing excellent customer service and a superior guest experience. We do hope we will have the opportunity of welcoming you again at the Webbington hotel should you require accommodation please contact the hotel directly or via the web site so that we can personally assist you with the reservation.

"Needs serious updating"
We only stayed for 1 night and wanted a swimming pool for our 2 children. Price was good for a family room in a hotel with leisure club but understood why so cheap when we arrived (£85). Firstly like to say staff friendly and swimming pool lovely (though you have to walk through leisure club reception to get to changing rooms). We were in a small room in the attic, although the room was clean the hallway was full of cobwebs and spiders - it felt like no one ever went up there. This could have been true as we were advised there had been a mix up with our rooms and we couldn't have a family one (despite paying for one) but they would squeeze us in.The bathroom was a good size and newly decorated but the bedroom requires serious updating. In the morning the smell of the drains coming from the bathroom was terrible. Added to this we were woken up very early as the curtains in no way covered the window in the bedroom. The hotel itself could be lovely, the setting is beautiful despite the M5! However it needs some serious work - decor is outdated, the terrace has no shade whatsoever, the bar area has nowhere sensible to eat. There are no suitable handrails on many of the stepped levels which seems strange considering the high number of pensioners that appeared to be staying. We saw numerous elderly people struggling to negotiate steps, especially at breakfast. Breakfast itself was poor - not much choice and of poor quality generally. All in all I would not stay here again, at all.
Dear Kelly Y Thank you for your review of the Webbington Hotel and Spa. I am delighted that both you and your family were able to enjoy the setting of the hotel and the pool. I am however extremely sorry that you were less than satisfied with your allocated room and for this I would apologise. The hotel is undergoing a programme of refurbishment to both guest bedrooms and public areas where we intend to maintain the character of the hotel but bring in a more contemporary feel . Your feedback is very welcome as it helps us to identify areas that our guests feel could be improved to enhance their stay. We do hope that you will visit us again so that we can offer you the standards and level of service that we pride ourselves on. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Nice downstairs but rooms tired and need updating"
Stayed as a family of 4 in two rooms. Beds comfy and big but the room overall needs updating as it seem very tired. Some issues with flashing light/light not working. Noise can be heard from M5. Reception very helpful but service at the bar very slow. Adult bar meals nice and children's were large portions but poorly presented. Check if a wedding is on when staying as this meant no room for us in bar.
Dear Rara3 Thank you for taking the time to post a review of your stay at the Webbington Hotel. I am glad that you found the beds to be comfortable. I am however sorry that you were less than satisfied with some aspects of your stay. The hotel is undergoing a programme of refurbishment and I hope that on your next visit we will be able to accommodate you in one of the newly refurbished superior rooms. Your feedback is appreciated as it enables us to identify areas that our guests feel could be improved to enhance their overall experience and enjoyment. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Highly recommended"
We stayed 4th September - the third time we have stayed. This was the best visit yet as we stayed in the main house - room 9. The last 2 times we stayed in the part of the hotel that was across the courtyard and not part of the main house. The rooms in the hotel across the courtyard were smaller and modern - not in keeping with the age of the hotel.. Room 9 was a delightful room full of character - the window was enormous as was the windowsill - could have put a bed there and very happily admired the views! A lovely old fireplace and very high ceiling with lots of beams. I am guessing the reviews of the small rooms would have been in the modern rooms that are not part of the main house. The swimming pool and steam room and sauna are absolutely awesome and we loved it. All the staff were lovely and we hope to stay again soon - just for the leisure centre! We travel 60 miles each way as a birthday treat - not because we are in the area! I do have to add that psychics would love this hotel as it is haunted as I discovered last night - but friendly ghosts.
Dear tinkerbellGloucester Thank you very much for your kind review. It is great to hear when a guest has really enjoyed their stay with us and that they would return . I am very pleased that you were able to experience one of the older more traditional rooms in the original house and you are not the first person to have commented on our friendly ghost although I have yet to have the pleasure. I was also delighted to read that you enjoyed our Spa and leisure centre. I do hope that we will see you again soon and that you wont wait till your next birthday to visit us . Kind regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"very poor"
stayed for one night sat 20/08/16 in room 1 appalling, room was small only just big enough for the double bed. smelt musty in the bathroom and bedroom, carpets were dirty,throw on end of bed was dirty, curtains were full of mildew, no wardrobe for hanging up clothes, just a rail and curtain to pull across. nothing like the clean spacious room in the advert. Room required a up date and re decoration. Reception staff could barely raise a smile. cracked tiles on the floor in reception just gave a bad impression after advertisement showing how good it looked. Left feedback form but i have not heard anything can only assume this went in the bin. Stayed in better travel lodge accommodation for a lot less money would not recomend

"Family Friendly Hotel"
Our third visit here. I asked for a ground floor room which I had, even had parking nearer to the room. I think they classed the room as disabled, but if I was disabled I would not be able to get in the bath etc. All the staff are very friendly and go out of their way to help make your stay a lovely experience.
"Great View over the Mendips"
Place is in a great setting with lovely views from the patio. Staff and Food where great and could not fault. Room we had was very tied and needs a good redecorate and also the electrics looking at as the centre light was buzzing and flashing. Bar staff where a bit slow if you need a drink ASAP.
Dear Gary R Thank you for taking the time to post a review following your recent stay at the Webbington Hotel. The Webbington hotel is set in a lovely area with amazing views and gives easy access to the countryside either on foot by bicycle or car. I was pleased to read that you were able to enjoy both the food and the friendliness of our staff. However I was disappointed that we did not exceed your expectations when it came to your room and for this I would apologise. The hotel is undergoing a programme of refurbishment and I hope that you will visit us again to sample one of the newly refurbished rooms. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Very accommodating for conference parties "
Spent the weekend here for a charity conference - highly recommended, good quality rooms in the main house, conference facilities of a good size & the food is fantastic- top views too! Also equipped with a pool for relaxing in after the event.
"Excellent in every respect throughout our 8 day visit"
The service we received from all the staff can only be described as first class. The friendliness, helpfulness and courtesy extended was to be experienced to be believed and was most welcome and appreciated. Our room 220 which was well sericed in all respects provided a magnificent view across the Somerset levels. The food available and presented for both breakfast and evening meal suited us admirably with a fine selection of choice and for us each evening a welcome selection of vegetables. Many interesting locations to visit within a reasonable driving time / distance Nothing to dislike.
"Wedding "
Totally 100% recommend This Spa hotel as a Venue for a Major Event, in very homely Surroundings, Staff will Answer your every need... We Had a Wedding co-ordinator that made herself Available to Clarify a very Anxious Father of the Bride! Wanting to Make Sure The Day went without a Hitch, which it did and some, due to a Fantastic MC to our Wedding (called Dan) ... My Whole Experience was Brilliant, My Daughters Wedding was an Amazing Success, with Many thanks going to the Venue & Staff of The Webbington Hotel & Spa...
"Overnight stay "
Disappointed in the quality of the room for the amount of money paid. The bedroom window was straight into the trees! Hotel needs a good paint job in certain areas. Food was OK but nothing spectacular but only had the bar meals. The view from the outside seating area was stunning but not sure it made up for everything else.
"Great stay and perfect location"
Me and my boyfriend stayed here on the August Bank holiday weekend and we had fabulous time! It was our anniversary and we were given a superior room when we mentioned it was our anniversary! The room was perfect and the bathroom was beautiful and room cleaned daily! I really do not understand the bad reviews about cleanliness because everything was spotless! The decor is traditional which was expected but very clean! The outdoor terrace overlooking the hill is perfection for afternoon drinks! The pool was lovely and we swam everyday ! I could not fault the hotel or its staff in any way! It was incredibly cheap and in driving distance to Cheddar, Wells, Glastonbury, Bath and Wookey Hole ! The only improvement point would be the breakfast! I would recommend this hotel to all family and friends !
Dear Laura M Thank you for taking the time to post such a positive review following your recent stay at the Webbington Hotel I was delighted to read that your room was comfortable, enjoyed your meal and that you had such high praise for our leisure facilities. It is always very gratifying to read that guests enjoyed their stay and would recommend us and I thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"too old and dirty"
- too old, need a massive refurbishment - not really good for disabled people - no lift - breakfast was bad and very poor, fruit from a can - rubbish - sauna look like 25 years old - filthy - the gym smelled like a skunk + fantastic location apart from the M5 motorway + free car park + free wi-fi + free pool and sauna + clean room
"Dirty"
This place could be lovely but for £96 for me and the wife it wasnt worth the money. Dead flies in window bathroom had meldew on ceiling and tiles carpet not hoovered. Breakfast was self service all dried out. Ran out if orange juice cereal was cheap home brands. Very dissapointed
"Good location shame about the noise"
The route to the hotel is quite tortuous (winding and very narrow roads) in fact once at the hotel you feel reluctant to go out at night as returning in the dark could be quite nerve wracking. The outside space is good with a fair sized terrace offered lovely views of the countryside. Owing to the proximity of the M5 there is a constant road noise which can also be heard inside, perhaps the double glazing could be improved. I booked a standard room for one night, the room was satisfactory, comfortable bed with a good sized bathroom. However, as stated above the noise from the road is constant, you will hear it even with the windows closed. The evening meal was quite pleasant made even better by the entertaining couple on the next table, they said it was like faulty towers, the wine list is rather lacking (no red wine from France) and my personal dislike screw tops on wine. The breakfast next morning was plentiful, although I do prefer to have a breakfast cooked to order, the buffet was nice a hot, and I was enjoying the experience until we were joined by a very large wasp, there were quite a few around the hotel I found the layout of the leisure area quite disappointing. You have to walk through the gym to get to the sauna and steam room, the very small changing room is behind the reception desk, I really think this was an area were some changes could have been made. The swimming pool could also do with an overhaul. Broken grills with algae growing around, I did wonder if the filters were working properly. This area could also benefit from a toddler pool as the main pool is quite small. I have ticked the very good category because it did represent good value for price paid.
"Good but could be a lot better"
Hotel building and grounds and surrounding area are beautiful. The staff friendly and unassuming, there when you need them. SPA facilities and not next to the pool and you have to walk through the gym from the pool to get to them - not ideal. The changing room is small with only 1 small bench which I had to share with 3 other people.
"Lovely hotel with fabulous views"
Great location, good service and very comfortable rooms. We were looked after again by the Webbington Hotel. It was our second stay this year. The room was very clean, great pillows and a lovely bathroom with nice touches of a flannel shoe cleaner and mending kit in the basket along with the shower cap soap and shampoo. We ate in the restaurant which is reasonably priced to some hotels. We used the leisure facilities. They have a lovely pool for a swim and sun loungers to relax in outside afterwards......weather dependant of course. If I had to pick at one thing it would be that they had no Becks blue for my husband who does not drink. The restaurant staff said they did not have it. They may have just been out of stock of it which can happen but if not then I would recommend they consider adding it to their bar menu. Thank you again Webbington for a lovely room and great stay.
"Ideal wedding venue"
My daughter and her partner chose to get married at the Webbington recently and my wife and I stayed there for two nights. We were blessed with dry warm weather and as the ceremony was conducted outside it proved to be an ideal venue. The hotel generally shows it's age a little - we remembered it when it was THE nightspot in the Bristol and Somerset area in the sixties and seventies. Our bedroom was spacious and comfortable but it was a little walk and several flights of steps (no lifts) from reception - thankfully we're healthy people! The breakfasts were very good with lots of choice. The wedding was very well managed by the hotel staff who were very tolerant of the children present which made for a happy and enjoyable occasion. It exceeded our expectations and thanks are due all round to those staff involved.
Dear Anthony Thank you very much for taking the time to post a review following your stay here at the Webbington Hotel. I was very pleased to read that you enjoyed the wedding celebrations. Weddings are such special occasions and we strive to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable and memorable time. I was delighted the day went as planned and that the weather was kind. Your feed back is very important to us and we value your comments. Kind regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Quirky, bit tired but value for money"
We really enjoyed our stay. Having previously read quite a few reviews and took the price we paid into consideration I had kinda guessed that it was not going to be top class accommodation. If they spent a lot of money restoring the hotel it would be too expensive for the average person to stay there so, we happily accepted it for what it is. However, the views are stunning, the hotel style is old/quirky and the staff were friendly enough. The swimming pool was great, mainly had it to ourselves. Looked a well equipped gym. The changing rooms/shower arrangement was odd, I was grateful it was so quiet as only one shower, unless you used the gym ones but there are much further away.! Shame the steam room and sauna are so far away from the pool too. Good place as a base, Axbridge near by 2 lovely pubs for food there. We visited lots of places in the 3 days we were there, beautiful area, fab walk up Crook Peak to end our stay.
"Nice hotel in the hills"
Ideal location to recharge your batteries after a long drive and ahead of a busy business day. Rooms are confy and smell very fresh. The view from the terrace is simply stunning. The health center has state of the art training machines so that you can keep fit, whatever is the reason of your stay. Dishes of the bar look very yummy (I did not eat there) and those of the restaurant (where I had dinner) definitely are. Just a minor remark: portions are abit tiny (except the cheese platter) , but I must say I am a big eater and I had a 5 mile run before dinner.... I will return for sure if in the area again
"Relaxing week-end"
Just returned from a relaxing week-end with our friends in this lovely hotel. Upon arrival, we were booked in promptly and given 2 second floor rooms in the Courtyard block. The rooms were very clean, and had lovely views over the countryside. We dined in the hotel on both nights, and were looked after very efficiently by Rowan, who went out of his way to assist us. Well done Rowan!! The evening meals were very good as were the breakfasts, although on the Sunday morning more staff were needed to replenish the dishes as there was a wedding party staying. The staffing issue could have been alleviated by better planning by management. If I have one small gripe, it was the two flights of stairs to the rooms which is not good for old bones. Otherwise, excellent.
"Ok for a day, but not to stay"
A picturesque old style hotel with views across open countryside to Weston and beyond. Unfortunately the M5 is just yards away so the obvious continuous noise was a problem if you wanted to sleep with the window open, which would be a necessary evil for most seeing as the rooms were very hot, even when cool outside. No aircon of course. The hotel itself is popular for weddings and seminars, so if you happen to coincide your stay then expect disruption at the small bar. However, staff were pleasant and efficient for restaurant service. The set menu was limited but well cooked... the optional menu very expensive. The courtyard rooms were very old style and basic. we had to change our first room because the window seal was missing ( motorway noise ), and another couple booking in struggled with the door locks, before the handle came off in their hands !! Overall, if you intend to stay during the day only or just one night you might survive the experience. We stayed 3 nights and adjacent room noise was a big problem, with loud voices heard clearly and bathroom plumbing noises a shared extra for all adjacent rooms. If disabled then beware as to get from one end to another means steps up and down.. I don't think there's a lift and the climb to second floor is a big problem. Final verdict .. find somewhere else to stay, unless you sleep soundly through hell and high water.
Dear Colin B Thank you for your review. Firstly please accept our sincere apologies for anything less than the high level of customer experience that we pride ourselves on. We take all adverse comments very seriously and I have shared your comments with the General Manger who will be investigating the matters you have raised regarding our door locks and the issues you had with in your room. Although I was pleased to read that you found the staff pleasant and helpful. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel we do hope you will consider a return visit. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"QUIRKY!"
We loved this hotel and laughed from the minute we got there until we came home after a 3 night break last week. We had requested a superior room and boy was it was superior - one of the loveliest hotel rooms we have ever stayed in. We enjoyed every meal. We had breakfast and ate dinner in the restaurant and never had a bad meal. We also had a snack in the bar when we got back early one day which was huge - one was enough to share. The staff were all welcoming and friendly. Very special thanks to Julie in the restaurant who went out of her way to make sure we were looked after, and the brothers Vlasto and Brano who made us laugh. We looked at the leisure centre the last day expecting a couple of exercise machines, but it was enormous with a lovely swimming pool. Admittedly the hotel is a bit tired in places, but nothing that a lick of paint wouldn't fix (get your brush out Julie!!). Thanks Webby. Hope to be back next year.
Dear filojan Thank you so much for your very kind review it is great to read that a guest has enjoyed their stay with us and I was delighted to see that you enjoyed all aspects of your stay your room the food the staff and the leisure centre. I will be sure to pass your kind comments on to the staff and I have already told Julie to get her paint brush ready. Thank you for choosing the Webbington hotel and we look forward to welcoming you again soon for another laughter filled break. Kind regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"THEY MUST OF SEEN US COMING !"
Room was past its sell by date, had a view of back of kitchens - noisy first thing of morning, with member of staff parking motorbike by there and if we wanted we could actually have another view of flat grey roof of swimming pool and spa. I don't know where these official photos came from but we could only dream... On both nights stayed had to wait twenty minutes to get into room because the new card system would not work to get in. Started my holiday sat on stairs waiting. Wall lights did not work, doors did not shut properly and tiny bathroom had shoddy pluming. Little hot water in shower. Windows and nets filthy and found a biscuit wrapper in bottom drawer. Outside patio area to bar needed a good clean up with cigarette nubs, plastic bottles and general waste everywhere. Don't waste your money.
"A hotel!"
We chose this hotel initially as it was within driving distance of Cheddar Gorge, although our sat nav took us down roads as thin Phil Mitchell's hair, we finally arrived and first impressions were good. The hotel looked clean and well maintained, the receptionist was lovely. Our room was a bit cramped for our style, and bit of a trek from the entrance hall. There are no lifts and a lot of up and down stairs so I'd be careful if you're a weary traveler or have problems with mobility. The food we ordered at the bar wasn't great, we would have eaten at the restaurant but there wasn't enough choices and as picky eaters we would have both ended up with soup! Breakfast was edible, there is an option to order things from the kitchen as well as eat from the buffet which is a nice edition! Overall not a bad experience, we got a reasonable hotel for a reasonable price.
"Disappointed "
Quite a dated hotel but set well out of the way, Got back expecting to watch the Olympic Games but the TVs in my room was unwatchable, so thought I'll try the bar tv , again not working, fair play to Jamie who tried to resolve the issues but it wasn't happening , most disappointed .????
Dear IanB Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I was saddened to read of your disappointment and I would sincerely apologies for the problems encountered with the TV's. I have instructed the maintenance team to check all TVs so that they are all available for our guest to watch and support Team GB. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Wedding anniversary"
We booked a 2 night dbb break and arrived around lunch time Sunday - all very quiet and only 1 staff on duty in bar. Checked in OK and explored a little and found the pool/gym facility whoch was very modern and staff very friendly and helpful. Small mishap with Sunday evening meal but restaurant manager and waiter resolved quickly, efficiently and professionally. Breakfast was fine and freshly cooked omelette delivered with a smile was great start to the day. Monday evening meal again we were looked after by the staff after the previous nights problem and restaurant manager took control and made our anniversary dinner a pleasant and memorable evening. After initial arrival impressions the Hotel grew in our estimation due to the staff.
Dear Grl123 Firstly congratulation on your wedding anniversary. I was delighted to read that the smiling friendly and helpful staff at the Webbington were able to enhance your stay and make your anniversary dinner memorable. The leisure facilities including the gym and pool are a great asset to the Webbington hotel and enjoyed by many of our guests who visit the Webbington to relax and unwind. Your feedback is very important to us and I thank you for choosing the Webbington hotel. I look forward to welcoming you back to the hotel perhaps to celebrate you next anniversary. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"An excellent hotel with excellent friendly staff"
Please dont be fooled by other negative comments - this hotel is excellent value for money - the staff are very friendly - I stay in a lot of hotels and am an early riser - not one of the staff failed to say good morning as they passed me - the same applied to the leisure staff - the only criticism I would make is if you stay request a ground floor room if you struggle with stairs - there was no lift to our room and it involved 4 flights of stairs - we were offered a room change though
Dear Timothy P It is great to receive such a positive review and I thank you for your kind comments. We pride ourselves on our high standards and customer service and it is gratifying for this to be acknowledged . I will pass your comments on to the Heads of Departments who I know will share them with the staff. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Regards
"Alright hotel very nice dinner had there!"
Stayed in this hotel this week 2nd August for one night and had a pleasant enough stay. Dinner was lovely, huge salad etc. However waited in the bar a very long time for my dinner, others seemed to get theirs much quicker! Had a pleasant swim in the little hotel pool and slept relatively well in the single beds pushed together. Shower ok. Lots of noise in the early morning from a coach party but I was up for work anyway. Breakfast was average but plenty of it, self serve buffet style hot food.
Dear Shelley P Thank you for you review I was pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay with us and that you particularly enjoyed your evening meal. I was however disappointed to read of the wait you had at the bar and I have passed your comments on to the bar Manager. It is always good to here that a guest has been able to enjoy the leisure facilities here at the Webbington and our pool is always a favourite. I was delighted to read that you slept well however with regard to the single beds these are in fact what is known as Zip and link beds which can be utilised as single beds or as the name suggest zipped and linked together so that the room can be used as a double and are standard through out the hotel industry. Your feed back is very much appreciated and thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Excellent"
Excellent stay along with food we had we couldn't of asked for a better service, our room was perfect it was spacious however the other couple we went with their room was like a small cupboard, however considering how nice the staff was and the good we did over see this as we knew the hotel was fully booked. Will definitely return again as out Xmas work party is always here and always extremely enjoyable
Dear bristolgirl2 Thank you for your review and I'm delighted you enjoyed your stay. Thank you also for your kind words on our great team, they will be thrilled to learn of your comments. I look forward to welcoming you back to the hotel at Christmas Kind regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"A mixed bag."
Visited here as part of a National Trust holiday. There are a number of good features particularly as this is for a group stay. The Wi Fi was excellent The breakfasts were very good offering a wide choice, excellent quality food. The staff throughout were very cheerful and helpful. Downsides. We had a courtyard room which was souless. Missing lightbulb and poorly hung curtains. Strange smell in the corridor leading to the room meant the firedoor was permanently propped open in the day! Our group evening meals were very average and disappointing. We had four meals here. Strange, since breakfasts were excellent and well cooked. We had no say in staying here as we were part of a group but I would not return, there are much better Motels and Travel Lodges about. This is a shame because this hotel has great potential, unfortunately untapped at present.
Dear StuartLiverpool Thank you for taking the time to post a review on your recent stay. I'm delighted that overall your stay went well and if I may comment on just a few of the points you raise, firstly my apologies for not meeting or exceeding your expectations . I have looked into the issue of the fire door and have been told that this practice is to allow access for the housekeepers with the linen we are now looking at revising this and I thank you for bringing it to our attention. I was also disappointed to read of your dissatisfaction with the evening meals however on checking with the management team we have not been informed of any issues from other members of the tour. Thank you too for your kind comments on the quality of our great team they are much appreciated. Kind regards Sabrina Cox
"Webbington Hotel"
If you follow he Satnav from the M5 going south, it takes you for about three or four miles through a maze very narrow lanes with high hedges on each side, and the feeling of disorientation continues when you reach the hotel, perched on a hillside with super views . over the surrounding countryside. The warren of wood panelled corridors, twists and turns and stairs could be out of a Hammer horror film, but don't worry - the welcome is friendly, the rooms are large and comfortable and it's a very relaxing place. We ate in the bar and I had an excellent and well priced steak, breakfast was good and the only fault I can find is that there is no real ale. I guess the steps could be a challenge for the less mobile but I am sure the porters would be very pleased to help. A good find for us and we would be very happy to return
Dear Jeff1903 Thank you for taking the trouble to post a review on your recent stay, we find guests reviews invaluable in informing others about our hotel. The hotel is indeed set in a very beautiful rural area yet with easy access to both Bristol and Bath. It was good to read that you enjoyed the ambiance of our traditional hotel and I am sure if walls could talk there would definitely be some tales to tell. Your kind comments concerning the food both in the bar and breakfast in our restaurant are much appreciated and I will pass them on to the kitchen. Thank you for choosing the Webbington and we look forward to welcoming you again soon. Kind regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager.
"Smartened up since my last visit"
Has been smartened up since my last visit......both in communal areas & in bedrooms & it feels notably better for it. Some elements still could do with smartening further such as curtains, some non matching furniture etc but generally much better standard & more appropriate for price. Food is almost there - the actual main course (duck) on a la carte menu was really good but came with the oddest selection of veg (butternut squash, corgette & fennel roasted with rosemary) & some potatoes in a tomato type sauce which totally didn't match the creamy fruity sauce with the duck. Please chef just send potatoes & veg on the plate with the main that match the individual dish not generic veg for every meal
Dear Businesstravels1114 Thank you for taking the time to post a review following your recent stay at the Webbington Hotel. We are working hard to refurbish the hotel yet maintain its traditional atmosphere and I was pleased to read that our efforts have not gone unnoticed. Your kind comments on the quality and selection of food is much appreciated . We look forward to welcoming you back to the hotel in the future Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations MAnager
"Lovely hotel in beautiful location"
We have stopped here a couple of times, each time was a stop over enroute to Cornwall to break the journey up. The staff are friendly and the hotel is in a beautiful location with great views. The room was in the old part of the hotel and was a good size, comfortable and very equipped and clean. There are lots of original features in this building which add to the quaintness of it all. It used to be a club years ago, having had many famous people performing and staying there back in the day. Breakfast was superb one of the best I have had in any hotel I have stopped in in this country. Great facilities, swimming pool, spa, lovely terrace to enjoy food and drinks, large car park and beautiful location. A real little gem
Dear lizrobmax Thank you very much for your kind review. We appreciate your complimentary comments and were delighted that you found our team friendly and enjoyed the facilities and meals provided during your stay. We strive to provide all of our guests with a memorable and comfortable stay so it was a pleasure to read your review.

"Friendly comfortable hotel"
After many many years driving on the M5 looking up at the webbington positioned up in the hills we eventually made a booking and so far are not disappointed. Upon arrival the room allocated wasn't quite up to our expectation and the hotel staff could not have been more accommodating. We were kindly offered two other rooms and are very happy and comfortable with the alternative. Everyone has been cheerful helpful and kind so no complaints food in the restaurant was very nice and priced fairly. The steam room was very hot and exactly what we hoped so no complaints just satisfied guests and we would most definitely return.
Dear jatstylist Thank you for taking the time to post a review of our Webbington Hotel. It was a pleasure to read your comments and I am delighted that we did not disappoint you and that you had an enjoyable stay. The hotel is in a beautiful setting with stunning views and has great facilities including the spa and we hope that we will have the pleasure of welcoming you again soon so that you can enjoy both. Kind regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relation Manager.
"Anniversary weekend"
Stayed here Friday and Saturday night. Lovely hotel in a great position with lovely views. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The rooms are kept to a high standard buy the cleaning staff. The beds are so comfortable. The restaurant staff dealt with my gluten free without any problems. Thank you to all envolved in our lovely weekend xxx

"Great hotel"
Stopped here for one night, rooms comfortable with huge bed! Lady on reception was very welcoming. Hotel very clean and ample of space. Bar menu was over priced for what you get...I wish places would use proper rice instead of the cheap stuff! Be prepared to pay £10 for 2 glasses of house red!!! Bar man was a nightmare, he had to be told by my husband to stop staring at me (every time he walked past he would stare and smile, this happened every minute) his reply was 'it's my job' I felt so uncomfortable I nearly left! Apart from this I would come again, bargain price for a good night sleep ????

"Nice hotel "
Stayed here for one night with my husband. Nice quick check in at reception. Our room (212) was nice & clean with a comfy bed and a spacious bathroom. I specifically asked for a room with a view. In my opinion this wasn't much of a view as it was mainly of the roof of the main building, but perhaps would have been better if the weather was nicer as could see some countryside in the distance. Bar service was a bit slow but not really a problem as we were there to relax. Hotel has a lovely sun terrace, which again, if we had had nice weather would have been really nice to sit out. Be aware though that you can definitely hear the motorway. We used the pool & sauna, both were lovely. Our evening meal was really good, lots of choice & reasonable prices. We were served by a lovely waiter called Rowan, who was possibly the most polite waiter I have come across. All staff were very pleasant. We went into Weston for the evening as hotel was quite quiet (£14.50 in a taxi). Breakfast was adequate, we had poached eggs, which you have to order, but they came out very quickly. We would stay again if we were in the area.
Dear Jackie T Thank you very much for your review of our Webbington Hotel, I was delighted to read that you enjoyed our hotel and the facilities offered in the Spa and that you would visit us again. Your feedback is very important to us and will be shared with the management team. We do hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you again soon and should you require accommodation please contact the hotel directly or via the web site Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel.

"WHAT A LET DOWN"
After a six hour drive all we wanted to do was rest and get a GOOD nights sleep but NO , the room above us did NOT want to sleep ALL night. It started just before midnight and by 5am was moving the bed around and what seemed to be picking up anything that moved and dropping from a great height. As we went out just before 10am reported this at the front desk ,she said that the manager would be told and let us know later. NO got back about 8.30pm more than ten hours but the front desk was NOT told anything , who then spoke to the manager . About 30 mins later we had a visit from the manager who said that we could have a 20% refund but NO again because we booked it with Hotel.com we could NOT have any money back ?.A little time later we had a room call from the front desk offering a free sandwich and drink, we took up this offer but it was NOT good the waiter wasted most of the coke on the tray. The sandwich was cheap sliced bread with packed meat , the room was poor main light NOT working so dark as HELL !!!!. The cleaner only done half a job. Two days of HELL WONT GO BACK NOT WORTH THE MONEY. On departure looked for the box to put our feed back in but NO AGAIN the girl at the front desk said that she would pass it on to the manager but she was the one from the morning before and most of it was about her. I will now post it to the head office of the company .

"Lovely place with character - but courtyard rooms need updating"
Arrived at the hotel, which is in a lovely setting with stunning views, about an hour before official check in time. I understood prior to booking that this would be 2pm, but it was inferred at reception that it would be 3pm. Had a drink in the bar area - which has a choice of seating including comfy leather sofas, with views out over the terrace. I could see why this would be a lovely setting for a wedding. There are obviously maintenance issues, as we could see builders wandering around and talking about roofing / flooring problems. Before 3pm, we wandered round back to reception to see if the room was ready and sure enough, it was. We were allocated room 107 in the courtyard building, separate to the main hotel. As we approached the stairs I could see an alcove where old furniture (bedside cabinets etc) were being stored in full view. The room itself was very small and stuffy, and reminded me of an old style B&B, with one of those tiny plastic moulded tea trays attached to the wall just outside the bathroom, with a plastic kettle slotted into position on it, and a decent collection of teas, coffees and hot chocolates, plus biscuits. There were several noticeable stains under this area on the carpet, and I could feel a hole / dip in the floorboards underneath this area. The bed was a small double, and unfortunately I could feel a few springs in it when I slept. The modern flat screen TV mounted on the wall was crystal clear, and there was enough storage space in the wardrobe, drawers and dressing table. I could hear some noise in other rooms nearby, although this didn't bother me too much. The bathroom had a bath with overhead shower (not clear how to use but I worked it out) and towels that were clean, all bar one, which appeared to have numerous small yellow / orange stains on it. I used this to cover the frosted window whilst I showered, as the window was at head height right against the shower, and faced another window directly opposite in the main building. Breakfast the next day in the beautiful old oak panelled room was good, and included a choice of fruit juices, a decent pot of coffee, and a full continental / cooked choice, apart from the cheeses mentioned on the menu, but that didn't bother us. I used the excellent swimming pool, which was a good size, and had serene views across the landscape. The small changing room /shower area was modern and spotless, and lockers were available. The sauna was also pleasant, although it had to be accessed by walking past people who were using the gym. If I were to give a rating based on the room alone, it would definitely be average. The courtyard rooms should perhaps be renamed 'economy / budget' rooms, so one knows what to expect. A few simple changes could be made, such as changing the old plastic courtesy tray with a small stainless steel kettle, and a moveable tray that can be placed on the dresser. Also, towels should be checked before placing them on the rail. I have given a higher rating based on other aspects of the hotel that enhanced our stay.
Thank you for posting a review regarding your stay at our Webbington Hotel.

"Ok but odd atmosphere!"
Recently stayed here as a stopover. Whilst the hotel appears to be in the middle of no-where, being in an elevated position you really can't get away from the fact that the M5 is clearly visible (and audible) in the distance! Plenty of parking available and our room/bathroom was clean - bed was extremely comfortable. The hotel seems to go the extra mile in some areas i.e. good quality breakfast choices, however we then had a poor quality bar meal and overall, although staff were polite, they really didn't seem overly attentive. As examples, we were stood waiting a while to be seated for breakfast and when the waiter finally appeared, he made no reference to apologise if we'd be waiting long and just took us to a table. When I tried to give him my room number (which you'd expect from experience at other hotels) he looked confused with the information! After serving tea/coffee, we had no sight of him again - they just left everyone to it. Also, when we checked out, I'd anticipated the reception staff asking about our stay (as you'd expect!) but No, they thanked me for the key and that was all. Although the hotel was Ok, the odd atmosphere really let it down and wasn't conducive to it being the relaxing 'spa feel' that we've experienced at other similar hotels.
"Enjoyable stay"
Very Large Room, in the main.part of the hotel, floor boards creaked like mad but was part of the charm the room 9 meter poll, gym, sauna very clean, tennis courts, good bar, staff could not faulted but were very busy, the food was excellent, and very tasty. The hotel is just off the M5 but no noise apart from the hume if windows were open, the best nights sleep I've had in all the hotels I've stayed in, very central to most North Somerset attractions, The only fault we found was in the dinning area on the second night, we waited about an Hour for our meal, after complaining about 20mins the head waiter came over and said they were sorry but very busy, after having a drink we were stuck to the hotel so had to wait. we were offered a drink to say sorry but refused. but all was put right in the morning by the day Manager, but never see the night Manger at all he could not be bothered or had no pride in his job. were has the day Manger could not be more helpful. WE WILL STAY HERE AGAIN WITHOUT A SHADDOW OF A DOUDT.
"Beautiful hotel in the middle of nowhere"
The room is excellent really comfortable beds and rooms are spacious and clean, restaurant serves excellent food (prices are not unreasonable) the bar also serves the same menu as the restaurant so food quality is good, staff are very helpful and friendly, if like me you get the top floor room you dont need to use the gym there as you get more than enough exercise just going up and down the stairs to your room. swimming pool is great and the gym well equipped. love the hotel, only one down side and it seems common to most I can never for the life of me understand why when they fit a jacusi bath to a room they do not sound proof it, (great for the person taking a bath) the noise when someone is in an adjoining room with one of those going is terrible especially at 5 in the morning, apart from this little annoyance the hotel is great. its only a 5 mile drive from Cheddar Gorge and caves, great views of the surrounding countryside and the nearby M5 motorway, sun terrace to enjoy a drink in the evening or meal outside if that takes your fancy, and well stocked bar for drinks
"Perfect localation for our son's Christening"
We hired the garden suit for our Son's Christening on 3rd of July and I feel we could not have pick a more perfect location. Sarah (the events coordinator) couldnt do enough to help plan the day and she gave regular emails to help organise the day and met whatever we wanted. The garden suit - the views were stunning for photos and the outside area was perfect (safe and secure) for all the children to run around and play. The weather was lovely too. On the day the staff couldnt do enough to help with the food, drink, cutting of the cake (which I forgot about!!) and also a glass was smashed and they quickly came and cleaned it up.Also a small group of us stayed after everyone else went and had a few drinks and we didnt feel rushed and the staff remained friendly and polite and even played with the children!! I can not recommend the Webbington enough - the food was great and the candy cart was a real hit with the kids!! Our guest loved it too and I know that some will be booking here in the near future too. Thanks so much you made our Son's Christening day so special!!
"OK but expensive"
It's difficult to find and really not very practical for coaches the room(114) were clean and smart but quite small and finding it was like a game of krypton factor lol the outdoor terrace area was pretty but the noise from the motorway spoiled it . The bar is expensive £4 +per pint and £4.95 for a cheese sandwich! The breakfast was poor for a best Western the sausages were undercooked and the Scambled egg was too creamy, the butter was too hard to spread on your toast and most of the stuff was luke warm , but it was all clean and the manager was helpful
"Wedding anniversary weekend"
Slight disappointment with this hotel. Not helped by some heavy rain on our arrival day so unable to relax outside - not the fault of the hotel! However food was not as good as the service sadly. Last morning was a let down with no hot water - merely told when we were checking out that the boiler broke over-night; no apology offered as such which was a pity. Lovely location.
"Comfortable hotel"
Lovely hotel with very helpful staff. The location is lovely and we enjoyed a walk in the nearby mendip hills. Although the hotel is only just off the motor way the traffic noise is not disruptive. The hotel itself is nice and looks like it has been updated however the rooms seem slightly out of date. However the room was clean and had no problems just dated.

I was very pleased to read that you took the opportunity to experience the wonderful views and walks out across the Mendips and that you found your allocated guestroom met with your expectations. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel, we do hope you will consider staying with us again and should you require accommodation in the area for a future stay please do not hesitate to contact the hotel directly or via our website so that we may personally assist you with your next reservation and assure you of a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

"Very relaxing Hotel with great views"
Fantastic hotel with a bit of history, welcomed by friendly helpful staff, The rooms where large and well provisioned, if a little short on milk for the tea/coffee, but more was available from the bar. The bar Tariff was reasonable for a hotel of this type, and the view from the terrace next to the bar was excellent. My complaints would be that there had been an event on and there was some litter around, and the terrace seemed to be for the sole use of smokers with every table having a cigarette bin next to it. This hotel benefits from having a Spa with pool and gym.
Dear Geoff P Thank you for your review. I was extremely pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay with us and that you were made to feel welcome from the start and throughout. Your feedback is very much appreciated and will be used to ensure we continue to provide a superior experience for all our future guests. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel, we do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back again soon. Kindest regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Lovely old hotel with great views"
Me and my friend booked this hotel as it was close to cheddar gorges and Wookey hole! The view is amazing especially when sitting on the terrace when the sun is out. The hotel its self is traditionally old and creaky and has a good bar and restaurant. There was a wedding going on but we heard very little. The pool was a nice extra even if slightly cold, the only problem we had was that the steam room was in the gym! Not that this was a problem it was just a weird place to have it considering the recent refurb. The bar staff are s little slow but if you order before your glass is empty it's fine. Laid back approach is typical for the area. There's no 100% rush like in London which is nice. Will defo stay again if in the area.
Dear Sazzaw Thank you for taking the time to write a review of our hotel following your recent stay we are indeed lucky to be located in such an area of outstanding beauty I was delighted to read that you enjoyed your stay and the pool and were not disturbed by the wedding taking place. I will be sure to share your review with the team who I know will be as pleased as I was to read your comments. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel we do hope you will return to the area and allow us the opportunity to welcome you back once again. Should you require accommodation in the future please do not hesitate to contact the hotel directly or via our website so that we may personally assist you and assure you of another relaxing stay.

"Stunning Views"
I'd seen this hotel from the M5 many times and always wanted to visit to see if it was as good as it appeared, we stayed for one night whilst touring Somerset. Check in was very efficient and we were directed to our Courtyard Room which was accessed by walking through the bar. It was a double room but only just. Bed was comfortable and OK for an overnight stay but there was very little space around the bed and passing each other as we moved around the room was tight, a good job we didn't have much by way of suitcases. En suite like the bedroom was clean but showing beginning to show signs of age. Good shower with plenty of hot water although the shower head could do with a good clean to remove the limescale. There is a terrific terrace to sit and enjoy drinks/meals off the bar which makes the most of the stunning views. It also has full spa facilities but we did not take advantage of these Overall a good visit at a good price .
Dear ThemTwo Thank you for taking some time to write a review. I am delighted you enjoyed our location we are indeed very lucky to be in such a beautiful rural setting and the views are indeed spectacular especially from our terrace. Your feedback is very much appreciated as it helps us to identify areas that our guests feel could be improved. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and we do hope you will consider a return visit. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager.
"Nice view - we didn't get it."
Beautiful views from this hotel - except we didn't get it. We got the pokey room overlooking the kitchen bins. A tip - ask what room you are going to get before you go and what the outlook is. Get the name of the person you ask ... Otherwise it was a very nice hotel and helpful, but run off their feet, staff.

"weekend break"
the weekend in the hotel was fine the breakfast was good with a reasonable selection and some gluten free options (a sausage would have been nice) but no complaints really room was small but for value we could not fault some noise from the rear of the bar late evening sounded like the empties being taken out .
Dear bmouthone., Thank you very much for your review of our Webbington Hotel, I was delighted to read that you enjoyed our hotel and the facilities offered Your feedback is very important to us and will be shared with the management team so that we can prevent the situation from reoccurring.

"Bristol Flight stay - Premier Inn next time"
We stayed (4 adults and a 3yo) for just 1 night (thankfully) before flying from Bristol airport. When booking over the phone we were not advised there would be a wedding party there the same night, would that not have been the courteous thing to do Best Western?, then they proceeded to put our rooms directly next to the reception facility with banging music until midnight - excellent way to relax just prior to your flight with a 3yo. So that was not the ideal start, however prior to that we thought we would grab a bite to eat, we ordered 2 of the burgers and 2 chili con carne.....I say con carne, it looked more like that fine slimy cat food you can get.....not pleasant although the burgers did seem OK, however the server just dumped the 2 plates of chili con carne down randomly on the table, not asking who they were for, not at anyone's specific place and buggered off...my partner on stretching across to grab mine for me badly burnt her fingers as he also failed to tell us the plates were nearing the temperature of the sun, awesome service. on what planet do you think service consists of dumping plates and walking away? The other server however was good and immediately got a burns pack. On speaking to the Duty Manager about it, yes there were the usual apologies but I didn't really get the sense he gave a toss and just thought more about moving that member of staff to a non-public facing role - dishwasher duty coming up for that useless numpty then!! So after burns and a crap nights sleep in a room where you could here every creak of the floorboards above, half the light bulbs didn't work nor did the TV remote we went for breakfast. Overall not too bad, good choice although the soggiest fried bread ever encountered, not entirely sure it was possible but boy did they achieve it and over eager staff trying to take your still half filled coffee cup away, not sure what part of Europe the staff come from, but it really seems like good English skills and any kind of customer service training are massively lacking. On travelling to Bristol airport saw a Premier Inn - think that'll be a far better bet next time.
Dear ColmarUK Firstly, please let me sincerely apologise for anything less than the memorable and enjoyable stay. I will be personally sharing your review with the management team at the hotel so that any areas that fell below our own high standards of customer care, to ensure we continue to offer the all-round experience that we pride ourselves on as a company. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and I do hope you will consider a future stay so that we may assure you of the highest possible level of service and standards and exceed your expectations at every opportunity. Kind regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Business stay whilst working in the area"
Stayed in the Best Western Webbington for 3 nights recently whilst working in the area. The hotel is set in a stunning location looking across a valley (view slightly spoilt by the M5) but is not close to a main road. It appears to be popular with coach parties - which tended to make the dining room very busy in the evenings. That said the bar and lounge area is very comfortable and I found eating in these was not a problem. The rooms and corridors look a little tired - but all areas were clean. Overall, for me who is really in a hotel first thing in the morning and then late in the evening/overnight, it offered all I needed.
Thank you for your review following your recent stay at our Webbington Hotel. I was pleased to read that you found our bar and lounge comfortable and that we were able to offer you all that you needed.

"Stop over for Bristol airport "
About 20 minutes away and 14 miles away. Nestled in the quiet hilly countryside is this 1907 mansion - now hotel. Staff very helpful. Well ness centre and swimming pool a must to do! ( clean and modern) rooms a bit dated. But everything you need. Clean comfortable beds and bathroom. Room service at no extra charge. A pleasant stay and for 43£ a real bargain. Thank you
"Quiet in a nice location"
I stayed one night at the BW Webbington hotel as it offered a good deal on price, it is approx. 6-7 miles outside Weston and if I did not have a car would of been difficult to get to. It is quiet most of the time in a nice location, but seemed to me a little off the beaten track than I realised. The hotel is on a hillside and overlooks the valley and M5 which can be noisy. It is an old building and has lots of steps to join parts of the building, although it does seem to have disabled access to some parts. I could of had dinner here as prices aren't too expensive, but with a couple of coach groups that had large round tables set for dinner put me off. So opted for the local town. The rooms are comfortable, but found mine very warm, and when I open the window you can hear the M5, that thankfully wasn't too noisy. Breakfast was very good and offered continental or full English from the buffet, and you can order eggs cooked any way you prefer. the staff were polite and efficient. I would stay again if the rates stay the same.
"Lovely but dog eared"
Spent the weekend of 11-13 June at this hotel. This is the good, bad of this hotel. Good: Room in courtyard block. Not a bad size, everything you need, full length mirror, desk/dressing table, club chair, 2 three foot beds zipped together to make superking, not too uncomfortable but I think it would be needing a mattress topper soon. Nicely decorated, flat screen tv with freeview, tea and coffee facilities, three kinds of tea, sugar and sweetener and I thought this was a nice touch, hot chocolate sachets, along with biscuits. The duvet on the bed was quite old I think as it was incredibly heavy. Nice view from window and not overlooked. I didn't draw the curtains because I like the light but if someone wanted black out in the room these curtains would be no good. Lighting was fine but has to warm up as they're energy saving bulbs. Bathroom: Large, could do with some kind of unit round the sink to put your things and there is plenty of room in this bathroom to do that and make a walk in shower. Could also do with a mixer tap for the sink as the water comes out really hot. Shower: Rainfall one, lovely hot water. A non slip mat was left for the bath which I was grateful for but could do with a handle to help get in and out of the bath especially for someone small like me, it is the law in America to have handles to help in and out of the bath. Heated ladder towel rail. BAD: There is no lift in this hotel, there is quite a walk to your room, we were two flights up and because quite a way from the car park we carried all our luggage in one go and it was very hard work so a lift would be a Godsend or at least a porter to help. The hotel is tired and dog eared but has a quaintness to it. There is a fabulous view from the outside bar area and inside the bar area is big squashy sofas that we spent an evening on reading our books, the only downside to that was we had a bar snack that was almost inedible, I had nachos with chilli, the chilli was dry and the beans were so broken down that I think it must have been old and the guacamole although was green but was unlike any I had ever seen or tasted before, some kind of mayo with green colouring I think. My husband had a ploughman's with no dressing on the salad or butter for ciabatta bread, should have been crusty bread. Also I had to ask for the table to be wiped as it was filthy and all the girl behind the bar said was "why is it dirty" After our first clean, we'd been out most of the day and came back to a floor that hadn't been hoovered and the duvet just pulled up on the bed, the sheet underneath was still rucked up from the night before, I re made the bed myself. The towels were very thin and a couple of the hand towels had some kind of yellow stains on them, they should have been checked and thrown away. Unfortunately we didn't use the pool but did have a look and it looked lovely. There was a function on the Sunday night and that wasn't too loud but at 11.30pm there was a car parked outside the block we were in and blew his horn very loudly and shouted goodnight to everyone, it made me jump out of my skin as I was asleep, we did complain to reception next morning and they said they would deal with it. So would I recommend this hotel, Yes I would as it did have it's charm but the staff need a bit of training I think.

"Flatters to decieve"
Stayed as an overnight 'journey breaker' when travelling from Yorkshire to Devon. Booked from viewing on Best Western web site of what appears and is described as "country manor charm...", sadly not entirely the case. The setting is certainly in charming country side, but the hotel does not match the surroundings. Rooms are small are greatly in need of refurbishment. It is also worthy of note that rooms are all close together which means we found to our cost at check-in, when enquiring if we could be allocated a room in a quieter part of the hotel; to be told there wasn't really such an area and we should be aware there was a wedding on with live music until midnight. Hotels are obliged to advise at time of booking of such matters that, as would have been the case for us, have meant we would not have booked.
Dear GaryandYvonne Than you for your review. I would firstly like to apologise that we did not meet or exceeding your expectations on this occasion. The Webbington has a beautiful setting offering wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. As a very popular venue for weddings and other celebrations it is our policy to advise all guest prior to arrival that a wedding or other function is taking place and I apologise if the was not the case in this instance. We pride ourselves on the high levels of service and standards that we provide and strive to ensure that all of or guest have a relaxing and memorable stay. The Webbington has a wide variety of rooms many offering views and we would hope that you will return so that we can both meet and exceed your expectations.

"Nice stay"
We stayed here for 1 night (Sunday night), room was ready when we arrived, we used the gym and the swimming pool - both very nice. Room was basic but had a tv, and large bathroom with bath. We had dinner on the terrace with lovely views which was really nice. We only paid £40 for 1 night and it was a clean, basic room and we had use of the pool and gym - I was very pleased we booked here.
Dear amyfromlondon3 Thank you for taking the time to post a review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel.

"Ok.."
Arrived after a long drive only to be told that the twin we booked wasn't ready.. We could here the housekeeper mouthing off in the back office which was a little disappointing. Room was basic, dirty tissues were on the floor on arrival. Room extremely hot and we couldn't keep them open due to the loud wedding going on. Breakfast was nice though.

"Not a BEST WESTERN more like a BAD WESTERN"
Arrived to find room not cleaned very well, there was a crack from top to bottom in the window so it was not safe to open the bed side wall light was not safe to turn on the fitting was so lose.Also the Furniture looked as though it had come from a skip. Apart from that the Breakfast was excellent and the staff very good

"Lovely short break"
We've just had a two night mid week break here. The setting is beautiful though a little isolated but we knew that before we went and were prepared to drive to places. It's close to Weston super Mare and Cheddar Gorge to name a few. We really enjoyed our stay here and only have a couple of not so positive comments. The first is that they gave us one complimentary breakfast. Why only one? Either give enough for the number of people in the room or don't give anything. Secondly was dinner in the hotel. We chose to eat in the restaurant instead of the bar. The food was ok but not great whereas the food in the bar looked lovely. Both of these comments aren't bad and are obviously our opinion and doesn't change the fact that we had a lovely stay and would recommend to all. It's also a fantastic location for a wedding.
Dear uglygirl Thank you for your review. I was very pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay here at the Webbington.

"A brilliant stay!!"
We have just returned from a 4 night stay here and must say we were very impressed. Passed hotel on the M5 numerous times and always fancied staying. All staff from reception, bar, restaurant & house keeping were very friendly, professional & willing to help when required. Having a refreshing drink sat out on the terrace with views for miles across the country side was lovely especially with the kind weather we had. Hotel was spotless in all areas, with people checking through out the day clearing any empty glasses/dinner plates or just straightening chairs & tables. Our room was in the annex a joined via a courtyard to the rear on the 2nd floor. The room wasn't the biggest of rooms but was well adequate for our stay and we received room service daily refreshing towels & complimentary tea/coffee/biscuits etc. The only criticism I could make is the way the used towels, bedding, dirty dishes etc are left on the landings while room service is carried out. Other than that we would recommend it ....... plus we will return ....... thank you!!
Dear Plb89 Thank you for taking some time to share your feedback following your stay with us. I was delighted that we could provide you with a wonderful experience and that our hotel, facilities and location could all go towards enhancing your experience.

"Enjoyable time out"
An unexpected hotel in the middle of the country side with Cheddar Gorge nearby. We stayed here with a coach trip and we were delighted with the service, the staff are well trained and very polite. The food was faultless and plenty of it. The rooms were clean, An enjoyable stay and time out in the country side, what more could you ask for.
Dear Alison A Thank you very much for you excellent review, I was delighted to see that you had such an enjoyable stay here at the Webbington and that we could provide you with everything you needed and our dedicated staff were able to enhance your stay . Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager,
"Beautiful old English Country Hotel"
We spent a wonderful stay here. We had a fantastic room with a private balcony overlooking the levels to the sea in the distance. The hotel is an old English mansion and has been beautifully preserved with original features. All the staff were excellent, very polite, cheery and helpful. The weather was great so we were able to sunbath on the loungers on the outside verandah by the pool, which has great views out across the levels to the sea. In the evening we enjoyed a pre dinner drink on the beautiful verandah,(again, you guessed it, overlooking the levels with the the sea in the distance). Whilst watching the sun go down. Our evening meal was good, not great but still very good. Overall this was a great value for money stay and we will definitely return.
"Wheelchair Users Its a No No"
As a wheelchair user I booked this hotel but checked weeks in advance that it was wheel chair accessible & assured it was. If you are a solo wheelchair visitor you would have no chance of booking into the place as you cannot get to reception from the frontage at all due to a flight of stairs with no ramped access. Once advised you have to go around the back of the hotel (because there is a massive flight of stairs inside out of reception to the main areas) you are presented with a moon scape pot holed alley, once you have squeezed past an employees vehicle, at the end of the alley are two disabled rooms in a courtyard. Immediately adjacent to your room is the smoking area so don't open your windows if you don't like smoke. A generator can be heard all night cutting in and out resonating through the paper thin walls. Health & Safety would have a field day inside. The ramp up the 10" step into the restaurant is immediately adjacent to the open flight of stairs out of reception so if you fell out your chair whilst negotiating the ramp you would fall 15ft into the lobby. Once up the 1st step there are further steps down into the restaurant, but for you to use the ramp again people eating below have to be moved out the way off their table to give you access in. Sorry at this point the white flag was waved we retreated checked out & left after only one night never to return.
"Superb location, but the place needs some refurbishment"
This was a one night stay for a group. My sat nav had to work hard to find the hotel. The car park is a decent size. The receptionist wasn't very friendly and was a poor advert for the hotel. The bar and restaurant staff were all good. The room was ideal for a one night stay, although it was tricky to see the TV from one of the twin beds. The hotel just needs some care and attention such as better bathroom fittings, cleaned carpets and new furniture. The wifi was easy to connect and a good speed.
"Bit out of the way, but Excellent quiet hotel"
I actually booked this hotel thinking I was 15mins from Bristol.... Its about 1hr15mins from Bristol. Nice hilltop location with fantastic views over the surrounding Somerset Countryside. Friendly receptionist on arrival. Two large coach parties were also here, however that didn't really impact the service provided. Both dinner and Breakfast was excellent. Room was fine with a comfortable bed. Given the price paid for my stay, I consider this hotel to be excellent value for money. I would return here.
"2 night stay"
Let me start of by saying that I have stayed at many a Best Western Hotel and they have always accomodated my unusual working hours and I have always had a decent room to wind down in. Now The Best Western Webbington. I ring the hotel mid afternoon as I do with all hotels I stay at, to ask if they can prepare me a dinner for 10pm. Now I know the restaurant closes at 09:30 pm, but these guys are always helpful and go the extra mile for the customer, right? Nope, sorry can't be done no dinner for you, we know you work late and can't arrive till 10pm but thats tough. You guys are in the hospitality business so how about showing some? Ok now after walking a few miles to my room, i find that it is the smallest room I have ever stayed in, decor is in their words "classic" my words dated and drab. The toilet has one of those very noisy camping type cisterns, so this room clearly never use to be a room and now the cleaner has nowhere to put their mop away! Personally never again. Sorry about the picture but the room was so small I couldnt get stand back and get it all in. I enjoy my comforts, do you? Come here at your peril.
"Great location shame about the hotel..."
We visited this hotel as part of a wedding party and where told it was a special rate for this, £95 b&b but then on the day found we could have booked it on the hotels website for £75 which fell on deaf ears when challenging the staff. When we arrived for the evening party the receptionist was pretty blunt and seemed dissinterested and when we got to our room after a labyrinth tour we discovered a tired small room facing a steep bush clad slope 3m away. The room was sparse and not that clean, noisy bed and very thin walls, no ventilation or double glazing. We asked for a iron & board and after 30 min it arrived, but the ironing board was burnt dirty and holed and the iron was leaking and covered in burnt clothing..., when I unplugged the iron after use I got a SHOCK....noticed afterwards no PAT testing certificate on it. We took the iron back to reception to report this and have the iron destroyed, the receptionist was shocked but did not really have any idea what to do. In the morning after a good breakfast we checked out and spoke to a different receptionist who said she wondered what the iron was doing there....and said the evening girl was useless...the manager was called and was shocked and said they were trying to get all appliances tested but was to busy...not an excuse I'm afraid.. but he then gave us our bar bill and £20 off better than nothing making the B&B rate £75 the max I would pay for a room here.
"ONE NIGHT STAY DISSAPOINTING"
Checked in, receptionist very bubbly, asked for a 4am alarm call, didn't get it. Room large but dated, no plug near the mirror to dry your hair, poor shower. Food in the bar was extremely basic and not enjoyable at all. DISSAPOINTING for such a lovely old hotel.

"One Night SDtay"
Hotel was lovely. Wonderful views. Good bar and food and very clean. However, the night we stayed there were very large groups of people who were very noisy and kept us awake most of the night, shouting, laughing and banging doors. The ventilation fan in the next room was very noisy and had obviously been left on whilst occupant not in room and sounded like a Hercules Aircraft coming into land. It eventually stopped after some hours when occupant returned. the other side, the occupant spent the entire night loud snoring. the walls were thin and this coupled with ventilator sound, laughing, shouting and banging doors made for a sleepless night! It was mentioned to reception staff the next morning but there was no real comment. All that said, lovely hotel, lovely bar and food and very clean.
Dear Julie W Thank you for your review following your recent stay with us. I was very pleased to read that you thought our hotel lovely and enjoyed the views and found both the bar and the food good. You feedback is very important and we certainly do appreciate you taking the time to review our hotel. I have asked our maintenance team to investigate the "Hercules Aircraft" in the adjoining room . Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and I do hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you again so that we can exceed your expectations and ensure you of a relaxing and comfortable stay. regards Sabrina Cox Guest RElations MAnager

"Lovely hotel with character"
I can recommend a room upgrade, we stayed in Room 10 and couldn't fault it, plenty of space to relax. Our experience at the hotel was great from start to finish! The girl on reception was helpful and pleasant and breakfast provided everything that we needed.
Thank you for your recent review and for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Our location is ideal for visiting Bristol, Weston Super Mare and the many attractions in the local area.

"Absolutely fantastic. Cannot fault"
Well what can I say. We had our wedding here and from the very start until the very end it was made enjoyable and stress free for us. The staff were outstanding, particularly Dan who was there to ensure our big day ran smoothly (he certainly did just that)! The rooms were dressed beautifully and was spotlessly clean and tidy throughout. Nothing was too much hassle. Our meals were perfect and very tasty as was our evening buffet, which was continuously topped up to ensure we had enough. The rooms were lovely, clean, comfy and spacious. If you are looking to stay at this hotel then I ca assure you you will get top service. Fantastic
Dear Siân W Thank you so much for your review in respect of your Wedding We are all delighted that you had such a wonderful day and really appreciate your very kind words. It was a pleasure to host this very special day for you and all the staff will always go that extra mile to ensure that everything goes without a hitch. I will make sure everyone sees your comments. We all look forward to welcoming you back to Webbington Hotel again soon – perhaps for your first anniversary, if not before. Kind regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Wedding day."
My daughter had her wedding here on 16th April. It was fabulous. The staff were friendly and very efficient. The wedding meal was lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. I can't see why people go to places six times the price frankly! The room we had the wedding breakfast was really nice. No it's not an old mansion or Manor House...but why pay so much more and get no more for your money. Excellent venue in every way.
Dear judimartin63 Thank you very much for your kind review following your daughters wedding at the Webbington Hotel. We consider it a honour and a privilege to be the venue for such an important occasion and strive to ensure that both the Bride and Groom and the guests have a memorable and enjoyable time. I was delighted to read that we were able to ensure that your day went with out a hitch and I will ensure that I share your kind words with the dedicated team at the Hotel. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Outgrown its 3* status"
A very nice hotel with lots of character. Not suited for those wanting ultra-modern plasticised environment! Many different levels and stairs (no lifts) but loads of charm. Lovely setting and good facilities (gym and indoor pool) - one has to accept the limitations on layout on a many times adapted old building! Pity that the food in the restaurant was rather bland and not good value. There was an evident lack of a 'maitre de' in the restaurant as some people were left standing and meals were offered to wrong guests! Starter cutlery was placed inside the main cutlery! (not on the table to start) - ? a training need!

I was extremely pleased to read that you enjoyed our hotel and facilities as we would like for all of our guests to enjoy the experience as you did.

"Disappointing"
The hotel was in a very good location; however, we discovered that it had far too many steps everywhere including en route to our room which was located in the Courtyard annexe. The "disabled" access route was a bit easier once we found it, but we still had a flight of stairs up to the room carrying a heavy suitcase, so not very easy to negotiate. Decor was dark and dismal with brown panelling everywhere, and we thought the restaurant was unappealing with a lacklustre menu so we ate elsewhere. Room was quite small for a twin, and a bit tired in appearance; the side of the curtains near the window was spotted with black mouldy areas and the whole room could have done with a deep clean. Fortunately the shower worked ok, so it was not all negative, and the beds were comfortable enough.
Dear DMM6313 I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for not exceeding your expectations. I can assure you that your comments will be investigated.

"Last minute stay"
We booked a room at short notice. It was clean and pleasant but a shadow of a foregone age. the location was lovely but the M5 noise did detract a little. Staff were friendly and helpful. We had breakfast which was very nice.

"Grat Walking location"
This Hotel is a little tired The room I was allocated in the conservatory is in need of decoration, the place is a bit of a rabbit warren The bed was really comfy - it took up most of the room ! The swimming pool and spa are good - although you have to walk acorss the gym from the pool to reach the saun The food is plentiful, if not best quality
"Lovely Hotel"
We stayed here back in March for 3 nights celebrating my husbands 60th birthday. We were given the honeymoon suite as a free upgrade and a beautiful room it is. It is very spacious with a super king size bed and fabulous pillows. It has French Windows to its own patio area and a lovely big bathroom with an excellent shower. The breakfast here is great it is serve yourself and there is plenty of choice . I particularly enjoy breakfast here because it is one of very few we have stayed in that does fried bread!. This is our chosen hotel when visiting Somerset and we have been here quite a few times. The staff are always helpful and attentive and I would say a big thank you again for giving such a lovely room for our special stay. We will be back

"Best Western"
All in all good enough to come back to but not special.Good location with wonderful vies, The Hotel was a little tired with lots of stairs so unsuitable for all but the fit. Nice pool and very nice fitness area but changing rooms require attention.

"Good hotel, average spa"
My boyfriend and I spent a night at the hotel after a full on day climbing and caving. The hotel entrance is quite difficult to see and we nearly drove past it. We checked in at reception, the receptionist was polite and we got directions to get to our room; we definitely needed more directions because that place is like a maze, but we managed to find our room. It was a nice and big room, a little bit noisy because of the M5 but not too bad at all. The bed was really comfortable with very nice pillows as well. The bathroom was big as well, but the fan was very noisy! We really enjoyed the coffee and the hot chocolate in the room; we definitely needed a coffee to stay awake after the full day adventure. The spa was okay, a little bit disappointing, to be honest, I liked the fact that they provided towels but it was literally just a heated swimming pool, a steam room and a sauna. It was alright but expected more as the steam room broke. Also, in order to get to the sauna and the steam room you had the cross the whole gym! However, the staff were really friendly. Next morning we decided to have breakfast there, it was okay, but I don't think the full English breakfast was worth the £10 that it costs. It wasn't amazing, and the continental breakfast was okay as well, but nothing special. However, again, the staff were really friendly. I would recommend the hotel, it is a little bit overpriced for what it is, but it was a nice stay.
Dear NeusLB Thank you for your recent review. I was delighted to read that you enjoyed your stay with us and found the hotel and staff welcoming, friendly and helpful. I was also glad to read that you found your guest room comfortable and enjoyed the coffee and chocolate provided..

Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel & Spa and for your recommendation , we look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Great Hotel"
Stayed here for 4 nights with my wife for our 25th wedding anniversary, when we arrived we had been upgraded to the bridal suite. The hotel was great, staff pretty much leave you to it but when you need them they were very helpful and polite, would definitley recommend

Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa, we do look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Nice hotel lovely grounds but a little tired"
One night stay on business really strange to find a hotel of this size in such a remote spot Plus Great views and setting decent size gym and pool at a very reasonable price Bar and restaurant reasonable too Cons It is a little tired and could do with an update., I'm sure most guests wouldn't object to paying a little more

I can assure you that we welcome all reviews and guest comments so that we can maintain and improve our standards and services, along with anticipating the changing needs of all our guests.

"Room with a view good food and friendly staff"
Booked via Best Western and as a diamond for life member was upgraded to a superior room. Room 7 which was a large double room which was clean with comfy bed. Looked out over the terrace and front of hotel. Stopped 3 nights DBB the food was to a good standard and so was breakfast. Staff all friendly and professional. Would return to the hotel on leisure as well as business Would happily recommend this hotel
Dear Jetboot Thank you for your review. I was pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay with us and that you will be returning. I will also pass on your kind comments to all of the dedicated staff at the hotel that helped make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa, we do look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Previous reviews seem overly harsh"
My girlfriend and I book in for two nights here over the recent Easter break, we were a bit dubious after reading so many bad reviews of the place, but decided to book regardless as there was a good deal on offer. On the first night we went to the pool, sauna and ate in the restaurant. The spa facilities are all excellent and we really enjoyed out meal. We were really impressed when we asked if we could take our drinks from the bar to our room and told "of course!" The breakfast was very good and on the last morning we each had a full body massage with Sue Gale, which was fantastic. Our room was nice and comfortable. I really think people should bear in mind that this hotel is rated 3*, so its not going to have rooms suitable for the Queen.
Dear Will S Thank you for your recent review. I was delighted to read that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay with us and that you took advantage of our leisure facilities and restaurant. Many guests comment on our professional and friendly staff and I have passed on your comments to all concerned. Thank you for choosing the BEST WESTERN Webbington Hotel and Spa, we look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"What a place!!"
I forgot what hotel I had chosen as I was so tired when booking, the country roads on the way there left me somewhat pessimistic, but as the views came into play and the Hotel came into view, my concerns were soon put to bed. The front had a lovely Victorian periodic feel to it and the evening illuminations added a warm charm. The view from the car park of rolling hills and the odd farm house dotted about reminded me of a Beatrix Potter book. We had a fun myriad of corridors to explore as we walked to our room and we didn't mind at all. The creaky stairs in some parts and the huge oak doors in others were such a treat in comparison to modern day uniformed hotels. It was full of character as was the beautiful Victorian looking shower, and the queen sized bed was very comfortable. The gym facilities were top notch, even though I didn't venture into the pool, it looked gorgeous. The Steam room was very popular so I didn't get an opportunity to go in, but the sauna more than served its purpose after a good session in the gym. The treadmills however may need updating as I almost slipped through no fault of my own bit through the worn down belt, but alas that was my only criticism of the whole stay. Lovely Portuguese bar man reminded me of Manuel from Fawlty Towers with his cheeky charm and loveable demeanour. I would recommend anybody stay here very good value for money, room service is excellent, staff are friendly and the views are second to none.
Dear Mr Odong Thank you for your recent review of the Webbington Hotel. We were delighted to read that you enjoyed your stay with us and found the hotel, leisure facilities and staff all very welcoming and friendly. The hotel has a wonderful ambience which is enhanced by the many original and quirky characteristics that are found in older buildings. Your comments regarding the treadmills have been passed on to the Leisure Manager who will investigate and correct any problems. The hotel is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty and we are very proud of our customer service and we were all happy to read that you enjoyed your experience with us. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Kind regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager.
"ok stay.."
We booked to stay here with our two small granddaughters for one night en route to South Devon. We had two rooms both of which were freezing and took the customer services ages to get some warmth into them. The room was comfortable and the bed very large and clean. We chose to eat in the dining room which was again absolutely freezing and therefore very uncomfortable. The food was decidedly average and the thin and crispy pizza one of the girls ordered was about an inch thick and looked very unpleasant. The other granddaughter ordered meat balls which we were assured would contain no onions, it did. The staff were very pleasant but communication was quite difficult. Pool was great but badly designed with changing rooms away from the area so you have to walk soaking wet to get to them. We have stayed in numerous Best Western Hotels and this was not up to the usual standard I'm afraid.
Dear Joan M Thank you for taking the time to post a review following your recent stay with us at the Webbington. I hope that you enjoyed your time in South Devon. At the Webbington Hotel we endeavour to ensure all our guests have an enjoyable experience in a comfortable environment and I apologise that on this occasion we failed to provide this. Your feed back is greatly appreciated as it helps us to identify and address any areas that our guests feel could be improved in order to enhance their stay. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Mrs Gage"
We have been regular visitors to this hotel for seven years and up until our visit last night (9.4.16) we have always been pleased with the service. I do not know what has changed, but in my opinion, this hotel has let itself down on our recent visit. Reception staff were very helpful (as usual), it is a shame that the same can not be said for the bar and restaurant staff. We found staff to be rude, unprofessional and miserable. The food has always been very good here in the past, but, last night they let themselves down in a big way with food still being frozen when sent out, parts of meals being forgotten and very bad quality meat, not to mention the staff attitude when informing them of such mistakes. Unfortunately, after seven years and many visits to the Webbington, last night will be our last.
"Nice place"
The Webbington was ideal for a nights stay with out two small granddaughters, the room was big enough for the four of us, clean light and airy. No wi if was available and the power in the room went off twice in the first hour. Pool was a real treat for the girls even given the strange disconcerting walk through a busy gym to get to the steam room. If you stay at any serviced accommodation you expect, even if temporarily, to be the centre of attention, at least until you are settled. The hotel staff were largely indifferent from the point of check in where I was treated as a training exercise for a new member of staff, right through to the non comittal breakfast service. The only exception to this was the Italian barman on the Terrace, thank you for smiling and treating the girls so nicely, I think they should consider putting you in control of staff training! The food was great, the location perfect and the building is interesting but come on guys, treat your guests as if they really are welcome.
Dear Sure 54 Thank you for your recent review. I was pleased to read that you enjoyed the location and the food was great and that the girls enjoyed the pool. I was however surprised to read your comments regarding the reception and restaurant staff. As you can read from previous reviews many guests of the hotel find the staff and customer service they provide excellent and positively comment on the level of attention they receive. I can only apologise if this was not the case during your visit. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and Spa. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Birthday treat"
Booked a Birthday overnight break for the wife and myself. Nice location and views but the room given was not massive and overlooking the plant rooms so not great. The hotel has lots of old features inside and out which give it a great charm and feeling. The room was clean and welcoming but the wi-fi was non existing. Polit helpfully staff with nice breakfast. A limited choice on the main menu and usual bar meals. Would definitely go again.
Dear Roy H Thank you for taking the time to post a review following the birthday celebrations here at the Webbington Hotel. I was delighted to read that you enjoyed the location and views from the hotel and that our friendly staff were able to enhance your stay. Your feed back is very much appreciated, your comments will be passed to the management at the hotel so that they can identify any areas of concern and continue to deliver the standards of service we pride ourselves on. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and we look forward to welcoming you again soon. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations MAnager.
"Ideal for what we wanted"
Stayed here whilst visiting the area. We were just looking for a base, somewhere to sleep and somewhere to shower. The building is very old, hence you could hear every creaking floorboard and the walls were paper thin, however that was our only complaint (plus it is what you expect of a 19th century building). We did not spend much time in the hotel but the staff were friendly and our room had the biggest bed I have ever seen! Free use of the swimming pool was a bonus, overall great value for money, would return in future.
"Harry Potter had more room!"
Stayed here on business and maybe the low cost should have caused alarm bells.....I suppose you get what you pay for The receptionist was very pleasant and check in was a pleasure, but I was told if I was staying in room 205 it's quite a small room. SMALL....Harry Potter had more room on Privet Drive!! :0) To make things worse there was NO cold water at all in the room and trying to clean teeth in hot water is a challenge! Never mind I'll have a shower...No I won't as the handle came off in my hand! On check out the Manager was apologetic and offered a small discount, but then said apart from these issues was everthing else OK with the stay?? Love it! Breakfast wasn't great. Ordered a cheese omelette which looked like a volcano erupting. It remindef me of the film Grease!! As it was literally swimming on the plate. I think if I had eaten it my heart may have stopped. I then ordered some water to drink and was brought a pot of hot water!! Maybe the hotel really does not have COLD???? Would I stay again..probably not and such a shame as the location is stunning!
"Lovely old building and an enjoyable stay"
The hotel is very quaint and has some lovely old features. Very good leisure facilities and a great pool. The atmosphere in the bar area was very nice, relaxed and comfortable. Good quality furnishings and the rest rooms were clean and well equipped. Our room was in 'The Gods' and was very pretty, good standards of cleanliness and complimentary toiletries were lovely. Large comfortable bed and excellent linen. The staff were helpful but not intrusive which was good. The only thing that let it down a little was the breakfast, it was kept warm and the quality was a little average. Overall we did enjoy our stay and would stay there again.
Dear mitsymalone13 Thank you for your excellent review. It is gratifying for our staff to hear such positive feedback from guests and it really helps to boost morale throughout the hotel. I'm really happy to see you enjoyed all aspects of your stay and that you would consider returning and indeed giving such strong recommendations to others. Many Thanks Sabrina Cox Guest Relations,
"Family visit to Mendip Hills"
Pleasant stay with family of 4 in one room. Room was adequate. Down side was fire alarm triggered at 4am on Sunday morning (reported by staff as due to smoker). Breakfast was of good quality and service. Access to room is very difficult with luggage due to narrow doors and corridors.

"Our wedding "
We have just returned from the Webbington hotel after our wedding on 2/4/2016 We couldn't have wished for a better day. The hotel staff were amazing and the whole day ran so smoothly. The food was absolutely lovely and came out so quickly to each table & the staff couldn't do enough to make sure everyone had what they wanted and provided extra when required. Everything went so well and I didn't once feel stressed because the staff took care of everything and had followed what we'd asked for to great detail. During the planning I sent various emails regarding changes or just for extra information and the hotel always responded very quickly. All of our guests said that they had an amazing time and complimented the hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone who wanted to have their wedding here. We are very happy that we chose the Webbingtons Mr and Mrs Ashley
Dear Kerrijoroberts Thank you very much for taking the time to post a review following your stay here at the Webbington Hotel. I was very pleased to read that you enjoyed your wedding celebrations.

"short break"
Having just returned from The Webbington ( our 4th or 5th stay) i can honestly say we really could not fault the place, service is always very friendly and not intrusive at all, I can be really fussy at times but i have enjoyed every stay, the rooms are always spotless and quite large, the breakfast is well cooked and there is a good choice of cereal and fruit as well as fresh fruit juice, we have eaten in the restaurant and the service and food were perfect, we stayed with family and for breakfast we were all able to sit together around a large table that had been reserved for us, as this was a birthday celebration it was lovely to take advantage on the pool and spa which everyone enjoyed, just about to book up again, The New Inn near Axbridge, (just down the road) is excellent best pub meal we have had in a long time delicious.
Dear Mandy B Thank you very much for you excellent review, I'm delighted to read that you had such an enjoyable return stay here at the Webbington and that we could provide you with everything you needed.

"Had a lovely time!"
Having read the reviews below, Im glad to say that our visit was really nice! We had a lovely room and the heating was on. The room was very clean and spacious. We had a nice meal in the restaurant and received good service. The breakfast the next morning was nicely presented and enjoyed it very much. Cannot comment on the spa as we didn't use the facilities. The visit was for my birthday and enjoyed it very much.

"More of a spar than a spa"
where do I start, a mess was made of the bookings for most of the wedding guests. In my case they had only booked me the one night. The room was across a court yard so that meant freezing every time I went to the room. The room itself was cold and only warmed up during the night, to rival the claustrophobic en suite. But was woken early with creaking furniture and floorboard both mornings. And the view was to die for (See picture)? The staff were very accommodating and the bar and restaurant food of good quality. Unlike the food served at the wedding. When the groom went to collect the remaining tiers of the cake, they thrown them away. But the swimming pool is brill. And warm.

"In need of a re-vamp"
Stayed here for one night on a business trip and wasn't really impressed. Driving up to the hotel looked great but it really needs a re-vamp - definitely not 4 star standards. The room was absolutely freezing, I rang reception to ask when was the heating coming on and she said she wasn't sure - didn't offer to check. Went down to order bar food felt like I was abroad, no English speaking staff and the gentleman found it very hard to understand me. Food was average. When I got back the heating was on thankfully. Room clean but I don't think I would stay again if in the area next time - would check somewhere else out.

"Very tired hotel"
We spent a dance weekend at this hotel; the dancing was fun but I could never recommend the hotel. Our room was very small, clean as long as you didn't look up, the cobwebs hanging from the curtains & ceiling were dreadful. Our shower, I've never had such a poor shower with such little water pressure in any hotel I've stayed in! We were told they don't employ maintenance at weekends! Surely this is the busiest time, there were over 200 people staying! Food was not great, when the guy serving the evening meal used his hands to put the green beans from one dish to another that was off putting! Potatoes were like slops! Drinks in the bar were very expensive. I could go on but I think I will just not go back. There is a lot that this hotel needs that they can't get out of a tin of paint!
Dear Carol C Please accept my sincere apologies for not exceeding your expectations during your recent visit to our Webbington Hotel.

"Rude up his own bum manager"
Did an event from here, phoned and asked to stay in the Carpark in our motorhome, they said yes, checked again on arrival all ok, event started at 6am. Been there a few hours the event before and the manager came out with his sidekick and asked if we had a reservation, we told him we had phoned and twice told we could park, he told us to go or if we wanted to stay it would be £50. No doubt wanting to take a back hander, he was pompous and rude. So, we cancelled (I mean just didn't turn up) for our reservation for dinner, and during the event my other half cancelled her tea and cake, saving us about £100, we returned at 6am for the event revving the engine!! The place is also very tatty for a 3 star, should be a 2 star. I wonder if Best Western Hotels know that this manager is trying to take £50 back handers for motorhomes parking overnight in the car park. We have stayed in there's no problem at all.
"Tired hotel but comfy and good value"
I stayed at the Webbington Spa for business. It is a little remote along country lanes but has splendid views. The hotel is quite tired but was certainly comfy. The bar & restaurant were good, decent food and good prices with keen friendly staff. The terrace bar overlooked the valley / Somerset levels. Wifi was poor and not working for me. The spa / leisure club is very weird. The pool changing is not connected to the pool area but a walk down a public corridor and through reception, not a hygienic route. The sauna and steam room are at the back of the gym so not connected to either the pool or the pool changing room. Very weird indeed. Overall though, the hotel was very good value for money.
Dear The_Rochdalien Thank you for your review. The hotel is indeed a little of the beaten track but does benefit from some amazing views. I was delighted to read that you were comfortable able to take advantage of the Spa facilities and that our friendly staff were able to enhance your stay. Your feedback is very important to us and helps to identify any areas that our guests feel require our attention. I would like to assure you that your comments regarding the Spa and Wi-Fi will be discussed with the hotel management team and we will certainly address any areas that fall below our own high standards. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and we do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back again soon. Should you require accommodation in the area again please do not hesitate to contact the hotel directly or via our website as we would like to personally assist with any future reservations.

"hotel stay"
This was handy location near to Bristol airport cheap rooms compared to others in locality. Close to m5 which was needed for journey north next morning. Noone at reception when we arrived 11pm had to search for staff. Rooms are very clean but tired couldn't turn shower temperature down in one room it was scalding or slightly less scalding. Reception not manned until 7am every morning so early check out needs to be sorted night before. Noone to tell us what WiFi password was when checking in. Was hotspot showing available in our room but couldn't connect.

"nice and relaxing place to stay"
Me and my boyfriend went to a trip to explore the Cheddar clifs for couple of days and we were really happy to find that hotel. it impressed me very much. The room was VERY COSY and clean.you can find there everything you need...... even the shower cap and sewing kit. Also they have a gym and very nice swimming pool, so it was very relaxing to swim and to warm ourselves up in sauna and steam room, after all that walking and climbing tours that we had. after spa we went to their restaurant and bar and their food and prices made us even more happy. everything was delicious! all staff especially in restaurant and bar were very friendly and ready to do an extra mile for us. we were very happy and definitely we will go there again

Lovely place to stay when visiting Somerset. Lovely rooms, great breakfast. Nice staff. Very very comfortable. Great views from Hotel. Wifi works very well. Good food in restaurant and bar and really good value overall.

"Midweek Break"
We stayed two nights midweek at the beginning of March 2016, whilst the decor in room and corridors is tired the hotel is clean and the bedroom offered all you'd expect, tea, coffee, hairdryer, shower gel and shampoo - more available from reception if you had forgotten any of the necessities (though we didn't test this out, it just says they have toiletries etc, available in the hotel folder), best of all a huge comfortable bed, with extra pillows and blankets should you need them, we had a great nights sleep, though had we needed the window open the road noise would have been annoying, though we travel everywhere with earplugs just in case we need them! The pool was lovely, and temperature was just right, the only downside there was no spinner for your costume though I was offered a carrier bag for my wet things so can't complain. As we arrived late afternoon we opted to eat in the restaurant, excellent service, good menu choices, and delicious! So good we had our evening meal there the next night and it was excellent again with new menu choices. If we go back to the area would be more than happy to stay there again, we had room 118 in the courtyard. All the staff we spoke to were friendly and helpful. Can't comment on the grounds as weather was not good enough to want to walk around, but what we saw from the windows looked good.
Dear PaulEPaul2014 Thank you for your review of our hotel. I was extremely pleased to read that you enjoyed our hotel and facilities as we would like for all of our guests to enjoy the experience as you did.

Thank you again for taking the time to write a review and for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager.
"avoid at all costs"
dreadful place. The room on the website is not the room you get!! at 2 am the room was freezing. this was made up b the heating firing up at 7am to a heat that i nearly feinted. the bar was manned by a bloke who didnt know what a lager top was. clearly they dont serve that in his country of birth. the exchange verbally was painful i almost served myself. the mixer pumps clearly had an issue the drinks were flat and awful. The function room garden suite furthest away from the main bar was not stocked with a full range of drinks and we were told to keep going back to the main bar for our drinks!! The food served was edible but the fact that peanuts were put out on the table without any one checking nut allergies meant the peanut dust and those dipping their hands and then picking sandwiches up could of caused a severe reaction by transference. The music was loud dated and never once turned down so you ate to the beat of the music reverberating in your chest. we will leave the fire alarm incident at 3am after only half an hours kip. as for the welcome booklet this contained outdated information and wasnt rectified until after an hour of trying to connect to the free wifi the desk told us the password!
Dear Lisat Thank you for your review. I was very disappointed to read your comments, especially regarding the dedicated team at the hotel who would normally receive praise and positive feedback regarding the level of customer service they provide and pride themselves on. I will certainly share your review with the management team so that we can identify any areas that fall below our own very high standards. Please accept my apologies for not meeting or exceeding your expectations and thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Managers
"AVOID IF YOU NEED SLEEP "
We've been here twice now. The first was our anniversary, it was incredibly noisy, stuffy, poor food, rude staff and we were woken twice in the night. Once by guests the other a fire alarm so loud you needed to block your ears. We were offered a complimentary stay for our bad experience and so visited a couple of months later. This time the room was bright and airy but immensely hot. Every radiator had been turned on fully. The room temperature must have been in the 30°c and we could only turn off one or two radiators At 3.10am the hotel was woken by the FIRE ALARM a screaming high pitched siren in the room that scared the he'll out of my wife. She panicked, so we got dressed ready to evacuate the building then 1 minute later it stops. We hear the whole hotel wondering what to do outside. We couldn't sleep thereafter as we didn't feel safe. Breakfast was awful, dry bacon, powdered eggs and treacle for coffee. This is one hotel and chain we will never revisit
Dear Guidedmotorbiketours Thank you for your review. Firstly please accept our sincere apologies for anything less than the high level of customer experience that we pride ourselves on. We take all adverse comments very seriously and I have shared your comments with the General Manger who will be investigating the matters you have raised regarding our fire alarm procedures and the issues you had with the heating in your room. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel we do hope you will consider a return visit. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager

"Relaxing retreat"
Looking for a place to stay late on an evening in February we were thankful for the recommendation of and welcome by the Webbington Hotel&Spa! The service at the reception was nice and very helpful, even with recommending further attractions to visit in the surrounding. After a swim in the pool we had a warm and comfortable night and in the morning an invigorating English breakfast from a rich buffet.

"Lovely loaction nice hotel"
I have stayed at this Hotel several times and it is a great place to stay either to just relax or to explore the local area . Service is usually excellent but I have occasionally felt that certain staff just don't engage well , however always feel the manager takes this serious and deals with any problems. Generally great Hotel.

"Unique venue type outside London"
I visit here to help run the RISC OS Southwest Show on the last week of every February, sometimes early March. It is unusual to find a large conference/exhibition venue that is carpeted/heated and attached to a hotel, outside London. There's nowhere like it in the Southwest; even in Bristol, you'd struggle, and Bristol isn't ideal for cost nor central to the SW region. The exhibition space is large and can be sub-divided. There is (limited) mobile internet, but plenty of mains power and lighting. Although there is heating, it's getting near the end of its life and needs replacement - it doesn't really cut it in midwinter. The space is mainly used by wedding parties and sometimes hunt supporters, the latter doing their best the trash the place before the next users. The venue do a brilliant job of cleaning up after inconsiderable previous users, even when they ripped the curtains down one year. Ah well, such is life in the countryside. There is plenty of parking around the venue, once you work out how to reach it from the M5 (which it's clearly visible from), that is. there's also a limited amount of parking right next to doors on the same level, brilliant for exhibitors with lots of heavy gear. The staff are very helpful, if you can find them - they're spread rather thin, but it is a large site. One criticism I do have, is that even though we hire a very large area and bring several exhibitors who stay in the hotel overnight as well, we are always hinted at to move along for the next party, well before the end of our booked time. I know it does take time to pack/unpack heavy expensive demos and stalls, but we have lots of volunteer help and we do pay for our time. I don't believe we've ever over-run or caused problems. The venue never seems to remember who we are, despite having been holding national Shows here for at least 20 years, but that's okay: I used to live/work in a venue, and it is hard to keep track, so we do understand and don't take it personally. There is a good bar service, extending to silver service across the deep pile carpet, setting the tone far above other Southwest exhibitions with their hard wooden floors in leisure centres and aircraft hangars. The bar prices are in line with local Pubs, which is amazing. One thing that would be nice, is letting us set up early, without seeking the permission of a single nominee organiser, which never seems to be the one staying at the hotel. I live in Wiltshire, so I've only stayed at the hotel as well once. The pricing is very reasonable for stays, and they do (or did) accept prepayment by cash if you don't have a credit card, as seems a standard annoyance elsewhere. The rooms are of a perfectly good standard, with good sound and thermal insulation. The door locks can be a bit temperamental, which necessities what can be a long walk back to reception, which also reminded me I was carting too much luggage around with me at the time. When I eventually gained access to my room, the light didn't work and the window was cracked, not a serious problem but nonetheless, instead of simply replacing the lamp, the hotel upgraded me to a better room, at no extra cost. Most rooms have en-suite facilities with provided soap, shampoo etc. The beds are very comfortable, but then I was very tired. They provide a morning newspaper if wanted. Mobile phone reception from the rooms can be a bit dicey; it picks up on the stairs though, as pointed out by some friendly & helpful cleaners. They provide, in line with most hotels, an included breakfast, which is very generous: Buffet-style with options for fry-up, cereal, fruit, etc. They let you go back for top-ups, which is very much welcomed by those of us whom skimped on taxi fares by getting a bus and trekking across the hills and windy country lanes. Just because it's a self-service buffet, they certainly don't skimp on the table arrangements, going to town with plenty of cutlery and crockery, set out on linen tables. This does limit the number of people you can seat around a table, but that keeps things cosy and conversation flowing, so that's okay. We have considered moving the Show into a more central area of WSM, but parking and compromises with the distance between accommodation and exhibition space have made all local alternative suggestions unpopular with attendees, so we'll keep coming back, at least until WSM council's planning dept make a sane decision, in other words for the foreseeable future. All in all, a very good venue to come back to, with it's own idiosyncrasies. It grows on you.
Dear Robin H Thank you very much for your positive and complimentary review of the Conferencing and Function facilities here at the Webbington Hotel as well as the guest rooms and amenities. We have excellent facilities at the Webbington Hotel which enable us to host large events such as your or smaller conferences and meetings as well as weddings and other social events whilst still retaining the welcoming and relaxing ambience of a country hotel. Your feed back is greatly appreciated and will be shared with the management team to help us to identify areas that might be improved and receive suggestions that guests feel could enhance their stay or function. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and we look forward to welcoming you again next year . Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Rooms tired and noisy"
Overall the facilities are ok, but be advised that the rooms are in need of a real good clean and redecoration and minimal insulation between rooms. If you are looking for an inexpensive location with a spa the Webbington is fine. The restaurant staff are very good and some very attentive. Evening meals we had were very good, but breakfast was variable.
Thank you for your review. I was very pleased to read that our dedicated staff could help enhance your stay and that you were able to enjoy our Leisure facilities. Your feedback is very much appreciated and helps to ensure we maintain and improve our standards and services for all our guests to enjoy and helps identify any areas that fall below our own very high standards of customer care.

"Such a shame "
This could be a lovely hotel but it's just not. We had a stay booked for Friday what was meant to be a two night stay and ended up getting up early Saturday morning to check out. The rooms are really dated and the whole hotel is really old and tired and smells of stale cigarette's. There are modems in the room which stay lit up all night so don't expect to sleep. Very tattie furniture in rooms. Got down to breakfast in the morning to a buffet breakfast which was stone cold and not up to standard. To be honest I can't see why they are a best western because every hotel I've stayed in that's a best western is of a high standard. This does not deserve to be called a best western as the standards are just not there. The staff are not very happy and look like they don't want to be there. We will not be returning.
Dear Louise B Firstly, please let me sincerely apologise for anything less than the memorable and enjoyable stay. I will be personally sharing your review with the management team at the hotel so that any areas that fell below our own high standards of customer care, to ensure we continue to offer the all-round experience that we pride ourselves on as a company. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and I do hope you will consider a future stay so that we may assure you of the highest possible level of service and standards and exceed your expectations at every opportunity.

"We only paid £47 and you get what you pay for"
We stayed here on our way to Cornwall. I have to stress we only paid £47 for the room. We arrived late to the hotel 21:40 and unfortunately we had missed the evening meal and room service stops at 21:30, however we were told that the bar had plenty of snacks. We got our key and went to the bar for a drink. Stood at the bar for about 10 mins with no one about I finally went to reception to ask if someone was serving, finally got a drink….. Asked about crisps and was told “yea got one bag of cheese and onion” that was it….. After 20 mins we tried for another drink, again I ended up trying to find someone to serve us. For a “bed for the night” it is fine for £47, however the hotel is very old looking and could do with some TLC.
Dear Adam H I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for not exceeding your expectations. I can assure you that your comments will be investigated.

"Such a let down"
I stayed here with my partner on a Tuesday evening as a treat and well needed night away. When you arrive the view from the front of the hotel is gorgeous, it looks very cute and romantic. This is where it all goes down hill... The hotel needs some serious refurbishment as everything is so dated in the building. We checked in and went to our room which was a standard double room. It was the size of a box, smelled like damp, overlooked a massive generator, and the bathroom was old and tatty. I was so underwhelmed! We went back to reception to ask to move rooms. I called the hotel prior to booking a room, to request that we have a room with a nice view and a bath. I was told that the hotel wasn't busy that evening so there would be no problem. This didn't happen. We then moved to a room with a bit more space, however the bathroom was even smaller than before. You could not fit 2 people in there at once, and the door just about shut, having being centimetres from the sink. There was an old shoddy shower which was the width of the bathroom. At this point we cancelled our dinner reservation as time was getting on and decided to have room service and relax in our room for the evening. Do not bother ordering room service!! The food is absolutely awful and not worth the money in the slightest. We spent around £30 and hardly touched any of it. The chips were dry and cold. Along with the onion rings, tuna 'bloomer' sandwich which was also dry and stale and looked like it had been slopped on the plate with half a bag of salad. It really was horrible. We had a cheese board with camembert, which was given to us without a cheese knife and had dried up. The apple was brown, ciabatta bread was just about edible and again half the plate was slopped with lettuce. We paid £9 for this plate alone. Such a waste of money!! The next day we went down for breakfast to be greeted by a lady that did not look happy at all, she huffed when my partner asked for sweetener with his tea, and for some more juice as the container was empty. We felt so awkward and couldn't wait to leave. The breakfast was OK, however there wasn't much choice. At this point we couldn't wait to check out! When handing our key to the receptionist I told her about the awful room service and that we had hardly eaten any of it. She called her manager who I then spoke to, to explain the issues we had had during our stay. He was rude and dismissive. Kept on saying that he could not do anything for us as we had already had our room 'upgraded' (it was hardly an upgrade!). He obsessed over the fact that we had not called down to tell him about the room service and that if we did he could of done something about it. It was 9pm, we had already had the hassle of moving rooms and I did not have the energy to complain again. He tried to correct me on a few occasions during our conversation. In the end, my partner paid up and we left. I have never had such an awful stay. It really does look so lovely from the outside and then falls apart inside. The rooms have a lot to be desired and need a huge revamp. I understand the building is old, but that doesn't mean the rooms have to be dingy, damp and grotty. We will not be returning to the Webbington after the awful experience earlier this month. The staff need to learn how to speak to customers and do it with a smile. Don't waste your money staying here.
Dear Howe92 Thank you for your review . Please accept my apologies for not exceeding all of your expectations during your recent stay with us.

"Safe Option"
We like Best Western as a chain. Good value, well presented, well run, good standards generally. The location is incredible here - the view over the Somerset countryside is breathtaking. Yes you can hear the rumble of the M5 in the background but only when outside. When we arrived there was an Indian wedding taking place, which certainly made the venue look and feel more lively. We had one of the smaller rooms around the courtyard and the bed was smaller than we would have liked. The complementary tea-making facilities were very much above par: biscuits, hot chocolate and Earl Grey are treats you don't normally find. Free access to the leisure facilities was a bonus and apparently they have treatment rooms and a gym - we used just the pool and the sauna. Obviously Cheddar is nearby and only a short drive to the tourist attractions and restaurants. We ate lunch and breakfast in the hotel, which were both of a high standard. Although we never tend to stay in the same place twice, this is on the list of places we would stay again.
Dear andrewduffy Thank you for taking the time to post a review following your recent stay at the Webbington Hotel I was delighted to read that your room was comfortable, enjoyed your meals and that you had such high praise for our leisure facilities. It is always very gratifying to read that guests enjoyed their stay and would recommend us and I thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager.
"christmas 2014 food poisoning"
A bit late I know but was unfortunate to get camplylobacter food poisoning following a Christmas meal here that year also another family complained of food being cold. Of course they denied serving food fit for human consumption and also lied that no one complained that day to my solicitor.They have been lucky that the health and environmental services for somerset failed to investigate my complaint following my two week illness as a result of which I haven't been compensated in anyway. Shame I have to report such an incident here, so you don't get off that lightly the management of this establishment.
"Excellent value for overnight stop"
Whilst in a rural area and accessed by country lanes, the setting was very pleasant with beautiful views. The hotel was very attractive on approach and at arrival. The staff were very helpful and friendly, nothing being too much trouble. Our first room was rather small and dimly lit on the second floor, but because of a loud noise/drone, presumably from an extractor fan left on next door, we were moved to another, larger and well lit room below: more what we had expected originally. Room carpets were in need of attention - a lot of staining. The food was extremely good, served in a well appointed dining room. We enjoyed our stay.
Dear Gerald T Thank you for your review. I was delighted to read that you enjoyed your stay and that our dedicated team were friendly and provided you with a comfortable room and delicious food. We look forward to welcoming you back and please do not hesitate to contact the hotel directly or via the website so that we can assist you with your reservation.

"Wedding venue"
We had our wedding here in January 2016, and I cannot fault it. Sarah the wedding planner was amazing, literally everything i asked for was there. I had huge amounts of props and decorations and they was all in place on the day. I even changed things on the night before which was no trouble to them at all. I'm a hard person to please and extremely fussy, but I have no bad points to say. If your considering this as a venue please just do it, you won't be disappointed. Thank you xx
Dear Lisa M Thank you very much for your kind review following your wedding here at the Webbington Hotel It is always a privilege to be entrusted with a function as important as a wedding day and we strive to ensure that everyone has a memorable and enjoyable day.

Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and we look forward to welcoming you again perhaps to celebrate your anniversary. Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Great Place to Stop"
This hotel is visible from the M5, and I have frequently looked at it and thought given the location, what is it like. I was not disappointed. Well appointed rooms, excellent service from the staff, a very relaxing Spa facility and swimming pool. The food is very good, with plenty of choice. Eat either in the restaurant or in the recently re-fitted bar, overlooking the countryside on the outside terrace, the choice is yours.
Thank you for your very kind review. It is always very gratifying to hear that a guest has enjoyed their time with us and that the team at the Webbington has helped to enhance their stay. I will be sharing your review with all the staff at the Webbington who will be as delighted as I was to read that we were able to ensure that every element of your stay was enjoyable.

"Wear your fleece for a drink in the bar? Really??"
This used to be a good hotel but sadly no more! Whilst the rooms & health suite are perfectly adequate for a three star unfortunately the slow decline is in evidence everywhere with a tired and now shabby appearance throughout the public areas with frayed and damaged carpets and finishes. A real shame as a bit of TLC would make a considerable difference. On the plus side the bar menu offered really tasty food at a very reasonable price. However the night we stayed we were told there were only 13 other guests in the hotel and the management had turned down the heating in the bar and conservatory area. Yes we really did have to go back to our rooms to get our fleeces to have a drink in the bar! Hmmm says it all really!
Thank you for taking the time to post a review following your recent stay at the Webbington Hotel. Please accept my sincere apologies for not exceeding your expectations during your stay with us and for the inconveniences with regards to the heating, I have personally spoken with the general manager team to ensure we address the heating with immediate effect, I was however pleased to read that you enjoyed your meal. Your feedback is most welcome and will be used to ensure we address any issues identified as quickly as possible . Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Interesting service"
I will start by saying this was a VERY last minute booking and we only paid £45.00 for the room (only) breakfast was an add on but more than happy to pay. We knew it was 3 star so expected that it may need some work doing. The plus points were, fantastic location, the room was clean and lovely and warm, the lady on reception was lovely. The downside was the service. Having had a very early start we did not want to go out for a meal so choose the hotel to eat in. We liked the bar menu so went to the bar to order. To start with, we waited a long time for someone to come and help us. It took a while to get our orders right as his english was not great at all. Food arrived - it was not good, the burgers we ordered were awful. SO high hopes for breakfast. Not sure if they consider 8.30am as a late time to order breakfast on a Saturday but it seemed as though we were on some sort of time limit to get in, get fed and get out. We did not have a chance to look at the menu before we were chased for our orders, which when they arrived were not correct. It seemed they used local produce which is great. The sausages and bacon tasted lovely, but not cooked very well and the coffee tasted as though it had been sitting there all day. One couple were even asked for their breakfast order before they were seated! It was hit an miss if you got to choose what sort of eggs you wanted, some people were asked, others were not and since there were on 5 couples in the restaurant sitting closely together, we knew what was going on. It was a shame because the hotel has such great potential, the problems we had with were with the staff and primarily understanding each other, so come on these are basics to get sorted.
Dear Helen M Thank you for your review. We were very glad to read that you enjoyed the overall location and cleanliness of our hotel and that your guestroom met with your expectations. However I must take this opportunity to apologise for not exceeding your expectations with regards to your dining experience, we usually receive positive comments regarding our restaurant. Service is a key part of the experience and we are normally praised highly for the level we provide, to read that it was just okay is below our own standards and I will make sure to share your feedback with the management team to ensure we continue to offer the standards and service that we pride ourselves on. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel, we do look forward to welcoming you back and should you require accommodation in the area again please do not hesitate to contact the hotel directly or via our website as we would personally like to assist with any future bookings and assure you of an enjoyable and comfortable stay along with our low rate guarantee.

"HIT BUT MOSTLY MISSED"
Having tried a number of Best Western hotels we knew this could be a gem or run down venue. Unfortunately it is the latter. The building is attractive as is its setting. Indeed the receptionist was welcoming and polite so our first impression was raesonable (if you ignore the torn carpets, trailing electrical leads and poor quality office behind the desk). We stayed in a basic room in the Courtyard - wouldn't do that again - which although clean was very basic; over-heated and with a large grass bank (poorly kept) about three foot from our window - posing an easy route into the room (security issue) and removing all our light and view. We decided to stay in the hotel and eat from the Terrace Menu - a big mistake! A re-heated microwaved hamburger; dry and hard chips; old salad was definite not good. That together with a lack of staff understanding basic English language did not provide a good evening for us. Indeed it was little better in the morning at breakfast. With an over eager waiter deciding we were having the full cooked breakfast; the egg having been standing far too long it was inedible and my wife getting the wrong order - another couple were "chased" around the restaurant for their order whilst getting something to drink! - I was not impressed with the service at all. In fact getting the basics right seemed all too complicated for this hotel. Wandering back to our room the staircase and landing was littered with the house-keepings equipment it was difficult to get past. I can't see us returning here and it certainly hasn't done Best Westens reputation any good in our eyes.

"New Year Break"
This has been a very enjoyable new year break. Hotel lovely, very relaxing and welcoming. Food and drink at very reasonable prices. We had a superior room which was large and the on suite luxurious. The swimming pool was good size and the staff very friendly. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a couple looking for a quiet relaxing break. Not far from Weston Super Mare and Burnham On Sea

"Superb New Year's Eve Party and 1 Night Stay"
This was our second stay for a New Year's Eve Party at the Webbington with friends. Our last stay being 2011/2012 New Year Party which contrary to a certain review we thought was excellent. This was the deciding factor to stay a second time, although we were a little worried it may not live up to high standards of our first visit. We did not need to worry on this point. Our room was in the courtyard annex and was very comfortable, however, the shower was not working correctly and we were offered another room promptly and without any quibble. The party dining room was beautifully decorated, the staff were very professional, polite and attentive, the restaurant management were visible and on the ball all the time making sure guests needs were attended to. The food was of a very high standard, the staff ensured all the guests at our table were served at the same time for each course thus the food remained hot and no one was waiting for others to be served and food cooling down. Our only observation was that the 8 piece band was a little loud for our taste however they were very good and brought a party atmosphere which had many guest up and dancing including ourselves. New Year was seen in with a Piper which added that little extra touch. The next morning were had an lovely champagne breakfast which ended a very pleasant stay. Would we book another New Year Party at the Webbington again, a most resounding Yes! Thank you Webbington.
Dear Roo2201 Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel following your second visit to welcome in the New Year. I was delighted to read that we could meet and exceed your expectations during your stay and that the dedicated team could help enhance the whole experience, I will be sure to share your review with everyone here at the hotel and I know they will be as pleased as I was to read your kind comments. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and we look forward to welcoming your back again for your future New Year's Eve celebrations. Kindest regards and thanks. Guest Relations Manager
"Hotel lives up to its extraordinary hilltop setting"
Wonderful décor, very comfortable room with an amazing bed, excellent food and a cosy bar. All of that with very friendly staff and apparently there is a spa and pool if you like that sort of thing. If you are there in clement weather, the terrace looks very inviting :)
Dear Marc O Thank you for your review. I was delighted to read that you thoroughly enjoyed your experience of our hotel and found your guestroom comfortable and the staff welcoming and friendly. I will be sure to pass on your comments. As you point out, our terrace overlooking the Somerset Levels is very popular with hotel residents, especially during the warmer months, but it is also a wonderful sight when there is snow on the ground. I do hope you have the opportunity to experience our al fresco dining at a point in the future. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Kindest regards Guest Relations Manager
"New Year's Eve Party and overnight stay"
We arrived on 31st December early afternoon, our fabulous room was ready. We had coffee in the lounge with friends. Later we had a drink again in the lounge, the atmosphere was relaxed and the staff were friendly and helpful. We then got ready for the main event. Champagne and canapés to start, the ballroom was superbly decorated, fresh flowers, balloons, the food was very good, then the entertainment started - WOW - two of the singers entered the hall, the band were on the stage, there was a floor show, the variety of music was amazing, very talented group. Not stopping there, the New Year was seen in with Bagpipes. We are already booked in for 2016 -THANK YOU SO MUCH
Dear Dave R Thank you for your review and for taking some time to share your feedback. I was very pleased to read that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and that you have already booked to celebrate again with us next year. Your feedback is truly appreciated. Kindest regards Guest Relations Manager
"Very good Christmas Break"
My wife and I booked this hotel for a 4 night Christmas break including Christmas lunch. Check in was smooth, we were given room 6 which is a big room, with a beautiful original fire place. We were a little concerned as we could see the motorway from the window, but had no problem with any noise, we had booked dinner for every evening and as there were two coach parties the dining room was full every evening and breakfast, this wasn't a problem until the last 2 days breakfast and our last evening meal where we found that some of the coach parties had moved from their designated table to the table allocated to us, also we could not order from the A La Carte menu as it was to busy so we had to order from the table d hote menu which was ok but we would off liked more choice and were prepared to pay the extra. Again breakfast was great the first 2 days but lack of room on the last 2 made it a rushed and uncomfortable experience, the waiters did their best so couldn't really be blamed, its the ignorance of other guests that weren't happy on the table allocated to then. Christmas lunch was very good indeed 7 courses long the only downside was that each course was brought almost as soon as they had taken the dishes from the previous away, it would have been nice to let each course settle for 5/10 mins before the next. All in all we found the staff to be efficient and friendly enough,a couple did shine above the rest. It was a pleasant stay the hotel does look a little jaded in parts but it suited our needs.
Dear LARTER1807 Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel. I was very pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay with us and that our team could help enhance the experience when possible. I will be sure to share your comments with everyone here at the hotel. Your valued feedback is very much appreciated and will be used to ensure we continue to offer the service and standards that we pride ourselves on. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel, we do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards Guest Relations Manager
"Not for the unfit!"
OK stay, but at 66 was probably one of the youngest in the hotel. There is no lift, only 2 rooms on the ground floor. Steps to get to reception, then more to "ground floor" facilities, and more stairs to rooms. Signage inside and outside the hotel limited or missing. Had 3 attempts to get car to reception, as entered from the North. Unique breakfast system, some bits buffet, some ordered. Fried or poached eggs for traditional English breakfast, have to be ordered, then added to the remainder which are buffet. Smallest kipper fillets ever served in a hotel, and if a normal size one get in they cut it in half! TIP - if driving from North M5 J21 set satnav to or via Winscome, then hotel postcode. Postcode works, but takes you down 4 miles of single track road with zero passing points. Need Winscome to stay on normal roads. Not for the anybody who has difficulty with stairs as there are lots everywhere.
Dear Peter W Thank you for your review. Your feedback is very much appreciated and will be used to ensure we continue to meet our guest's requirements in our Edwardian period property. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Regards Guest Relations Manager
"Works Xmas Party"
We decided to stay overnight for our works Christmas party, we were disappointed with the room across the courtyard a tad small but it was only one night! The food was fine and we all enjoyed the entertainment everyone up dancing most of the night. Would book a better room next time. Breakfast was good the next morning. Bar staff were helpful hotel staff not so, didn't seem to interested particularly the reception not very welcoming when we arrived.
"Another wonderful couple of days spent relaxing and enjoying ourselves."
Spent 2 nights here and once again had a a wonderful time. The staff welcome on arrival was great, everything was ready for us and our papers were ordered. As it is December we were staying over for a tribute night on the second day. The first night was my birthday and the staff in the restaurant were excellent. Very attentive and friendly. Once again we enjoyed the pool area which is very relaxing as long as you get in before the families with kids. The tribute night on the second day was a Michael Buble act and was very good. There was a good menu choice, but I don't like turkey so went for the lamb, but as I can't eat mushrooms asked for it to be cooked on its own. A waitress came and asked if this was correct and took my plate away for the chef to cook my lamb. This was medium as I like it. Everything else in the restaurant went very well. A majority of the staff in this hotel are natives to this country, there are a few foreign staff Ho we get on with very well. The hotel is spending a lot of money on refurbishing in the bar and restaurant are complete, our room had been redecorated and was very comfortable. We prefer to stay in the old part of the hotel as it is in easy reach of reception on the restaurant. We are looking foraged to next visiting the new year.
"Works Christmas meal & overnight stay"
Absolutely brilliant this is the second time me and my partner have had a work Christmas meal here and both times was amazing both times our rooms were big although this year are room was even bigger we had a lovely view at the hotel, and even when we checked out we were told we were able to use the leisure facilities all day, the meal was lovely we literally had not one bad word to say about our starter or main we both had a cheesecake for dessert but it was a citrus one which wasn't to our taste but still we couldn't complain the hotel staff were so helpful all round are stay was fantastic and we can't wait to return next year. Thank you

"xmas function"
Food was quite good for mass catering and the service fairly good. Overall it is a tired slightly shabby place and although the bedroom appeared clean there was a fusty musty smell. ok for a mediocre function but not somewhere I would choose to go again.

"Poor service"
Staff are indifferent at best. The restaurant is expensive and food quality is poor, some needing to be sent back twice as not only did it look inedible, but also like it might make you I'll if you are it. They have all of their fish dishes labled as vegetarian! When we complained we had a very generic response, staff really do not seem to care. Rooms were cold, no temperature control in room, heating came on at set times. Will not be going back

"Great Deal on Room but noise from M5 difficult to block out ,not a great hotel for sleep"
Got a great deal from Laterooms on this hotel and for the price we were satisfied but this hotel needs to invest in better windows.Initially we were put in 107 but we asked to move as this had loud hum which could be heard in cor) riddor as well.(109 would be as badWe then were placed in Room 8 which was freshly painted and had a strong smell of paint.This room was larger though than the first but it was difficult to ignore the noise from the M5 particularly when trying to sleep. We were also woken in night by the extractior fan next door with a guy who possibbly had a bladder issue as used the bathroom a lot through the night so in all we had very poor sleep.The linen was clean though and shower was good although it flooded as didn't drain properly.There was plenty of tea and coffee and hot chocolate. We ate at the bar.We thought the food was reasonablly priced for a hotel and tasty.The staff do have to work very hard.Would have liked to see a draft ale on but had spitfire in a bottle which was fine.This is a hotel that is used by workmen during the week but that is not an issue as all dressed appropriately in the bar.The swimming pool is not great when a few people are in it almost impossible to do lengths and the poolside changing room is Not poolside so take flip flops as you have to walk across the entrance hall.I did not try the sauna and steam room as would have had to walk in a wet costume through the Gym in bare feet.Really the worst laid out spa facilities I have ever seen.I didn't stay long in the pool as couldn't swim with the older ladies trying to do widths as well some swimming lengths it was like Battleships.The Gym looked well equipped though and large for a hotel.Parking was fine.
Dear Falmouth Lucy Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your visit to The Webbington Hotel.

"Pleasant stay"
Had a very pleasant stay at this hotel and would have no hesitation returning. staff friendly and food very good. Have to pay special attention to the waiter in the Restaurant who was very attentive and is a credit to hotel. Unfortunately I didn't catch his name. Looked at this hotel on laterooms. got a better deal on the Best Western site,

"Christmas party night"
Really disappointing 1st visit to the webbington the Dolly Parton tribute act was good but that was about it. We were booked as a group but were seated at 2 seperate tables which is a bit odd to start with! The food was very poor especially for £30 a head, tasteless prawn cocktail, Luke warm lamb ( more fat than meat) and the veg well that really wasn't great the sprouts especially were like bullets!!! Waiting staff not the happiest, and the drinks were very overpriced. Really poor experience, wouldn't recommend at all.
"Noisy and unfriendly Hotel "
Wow, what a disappointing visit On the surface of the Hotel you would think its was a quality establishment, don't be fooled. Very noisy, very rude staff, over priced food and uncomfortable beds. The car park is rough as guts. Personally I'd avoid this Hotel and go stay at a B and B locally, maybe people who live and own their establishment would take more pride in it. Over priced and rubbish.

"Has potential"
This was the hotel chosen by the coach tour company, and have just spent three nights here. Because it was a tour, we did not have a choice of rooms, and found we were in the courtyard. As two friends travelling together, we asked for a twin room. In effect, it was, though so small that the two beds had to be pushed completely together. The room was clean, and had all that we required, but as we are now in December, we were amazed to be told that the heating doesn't come on till 7pm - not ideal after a full day out in blustery conditions. However, the main part of the house was lovely. The staff was friendly and efficient. The dining room was pleasantly set up with round tables, and pristine white cloths, and linen napkins. The food was excellent, and there was no difficulty in asking for something different eg ice cream for dessert instead of the three choices on the menu. Breakfast was particularly good. As well as what was on offer on the very excellent buffet, there was porridge, smoked haddock, omelettes and poached eggs available to be cooked to order. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I understand the pool was very good, and there was a lovely terrace - had the weather been better! I would have rated this hotel higher than average if the room had been better - and warmer!
Dear YorkshireAnn Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review of our Hotel. I was delighted to read that you enjoyed our helpful staff and the dining experience at the Webbington Hotel. We strive to ensure that all our guests have a memorable and enjoyable stay. It was indeed a shame that you could not enjoy the views from the terrace because of the weather.

"OUR RELAXING DAY"
Only a short 2 night stay but we felt relaxed and 'at home'. Breakfast was the best I have had for a long time. For our anniversary we spent one whole day in the hotel enjoying swimming, being in the steam room, playing a game of scrabble, having a steaming coffee and biscuits then a nice meal. Heaven!
Dear Martin C Thank you for choosing to stay at the Webbington Hotel to celebrate your anniversary. I was delighted to read that you were able to relax and enjoy all the facilities that the Webbington has to offer.

Again thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Disappointing!"
How many times have I driven north along the M5 and seen the Webbington Hotel from the motorway? So often, in fact, that we decided to try it, especially as we are making an effort not to use the big chains these days. First impressions are critical, and ours were disappointing. There was an overpowering unpleasant and off-putting smell of disinfectant as we went into the reception area. The staff were reasonably efficient but not especially friendly and didn't go out of their way to help. The way to the bedroom was easy to find, but it is not a good omen if you see mattresses stored in corners of stairwells. Note to management: it looks careless and inefficient and is certainly not professional. The corridors and fire doors were scuffed, and the whole place seemed to be screaming out for some TLC. The room was standard, but I've seen better in any of the big chains, so it was hardly worth driving out of our way for. Back in the bar, the staff were efficient and reasonably friendly, but nothing out of the ordinary. Again, there were so many features that could be enhanced (the Webbington was an old house that has been extended several times). The bar food was good and very welcome after a long day. By chance, we started chatting with a couple from our home town, so spent a pleasant time with them, but we all agreed that the place looked run down and was in dire need of refurbishment. Breakfast was again standard, with no flair and no local sourcing of products as far as we could see. A big positive point was the sun terrace, but unfortunately we didn't have the time or weather to enjoy it. I won't go back and I won't recommend the Webbington.
Dear Nelchael Thank your for choosing the Webbington Hotel and thank you for your candid comments about your stay. I was disappointed to read that we did not meet or exceed your expectations and for this I apologise. I was however pleased to read that you enjoyed your meal and spent a pleasant time relaxing in the bar. Our sun terrace is a great feature and it was a shame that you were unable to take advantage of it. Your feedback is very important to us and it is only through the honest comments of our guests that we can learn and improve. I do hope that you will consider staying with us again so that we may exceed your expectations and provide you with the level of service and standards that we pride ourselves on.

"Plenty of good food"
I took my managers here for an offsite meeting and couldn't fault the service, the evening meal was very good and we appreciated being able to order at table unlike so many other venues where they insist you choose in advance. Good tasty food and lots of it. A minor complaint about the cleanliness of the glasses was soon satisfactorily rectified. The next day breakfast, lunch and the "snacks" in between were all excellent, Great pool. All staff were exceptionally helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
Dear AdamE452 Thank you for taking the time to post a review following your recent meeting here at the Webbington Hotel.

"Amazing stay"
Had such a lovely stay - couldn't fault it. Our room was huge, and the decor suited it well, wouldn't call it aged, if you want all mod cons go to a city chain. The whole place was perfectly warm with everything we needed. Pool/sauna and steam room all great, nice that its all included within the price. Had our meal in the bar area, good prices and food was perfect for what we were after. The staff we talked to were all very friendly, (not sure what some of the reviews are on about) Breakfast was great, (buffet) as we were off walking around cheddar so needed a big breakfast. Would definitely stay again and have recommend it already.
Dear ema005 We appreciate you sharing your comments regarding your recent stay at the Webbington Hotel . It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback such as this.

"Nice Hotel"
Couldn't fault hotel for the price really. Rooms clean, breakfast was very nice and so were the staff, would definitely stay here again. Certain areas could probably do with a freshen up but overall a good stay. I've booked in for next week so that says it all really!
Dear GlenG1973 Thank you for taking the time to share your experience on Trip Advisor and for choosing the Webbington Hotel.

"Last chance saloon"
Nice enough hotel, not easily found as there isn't a main road to it. The staff are not particularly friendly and stand-offish. Breakfast is self service and mainly cold as we went down near the finish. There was an incident with people in the next room banging and shouting for an hour and a half, not their fault but no member of staff to calm things. So I am not going there again
Dear Guiness_Dave Thank you for your review. Please accept my apologies for not exceeding your expectations during your recent stay with us especially regarding the temperature of the breakfast.

"Beautiful peaceful break"
We stayed this hotel for one night on the way to Bristol airport. We were warmly welcomed by a very polite receptionist Laura. She explained every thing and made us feel comfortable in our surroundings.We then went to our room which was stunning uniquely decorated and original features. We had dinner in the restaurant the service was excellent the waiter could not do enough for us. We left very early the next morning. Would really recommend the hotel.
Dear mkjz Thank you for taking the time to post a review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel. I was delighted to read that you enjoyed your stay.

"Much better than the sum of its parts"
The Webbington Hotel was the 3-night base for our choir tour of some 50 people. My wife and I travelled independently by car but the majority came on a coach, arriving late because of senseless on-road parking in one of the nearby villages: with narrow lanes all around access for a wide vehicle is not necessarily straightforward, and it was necessary to go from house to house to find the owners of the vehicles that needed moving. The hotel is rather rambling and access to most of the rooms seems to involve different levels and flights of stairs (though there appears to be reasonable disabled access). On our arrival the staff had offered assistance with our bags; when all our colleagues arrived, staff were placed at stairways to move their bags for them - a very simple but efficiently carried out operation. Dinner had been pre-arranged for 19:15 but the late arrival meant that this was impracticable. The hotel delayed the meal by 30 minutes, and still managed to serve us food well prepared and not overcooked. These two examples sum up the hotel for me. On first appearance it looks a little tired (though I was told that it is being renovated), but its greatest asset i probably the staff, who were without fail helpful, friendly and efficient. Requests were met promptly. The one evening meal we had there was good; there was a good choice at breakfast and various items were cooked fresh on request (such as fried eggs). The hotel has swimming pool and spa but we did not have time to experience what was on offer. All told a better stay than might be expected, and well recommended.
Dear Martin G Thank you for taking some time to write a review of our hotel following your stay along with the choir. I was delighted to read that you enjoyed your stay and that our dedicated team at the hotel could help enhance the overall experience. I will be sure to share your review with them. Thank you for choosing the Webbington and we do hope that should your Choir return to the area you will allow us the opportunity of welcoming you again. Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Okay"
We stayed here for one night the room was small but comfy but one of the radiators was faulty and would not switch off which meant the room was absolutely boiling at one stage we had to leave because it was just too hot so sat by the bar and had a drink which was quite expensive as was the room £50 for one night and that's without breakfast we didn't have much choice but to stay here as the nearby travelodge which was cheaper and had breakfast included was fully booked.
Dear JoandSteKotas Thank you for your review of our Webbington Hotel. I was pleased to read that you found your room comfortable disappointed however to read of the problems you encountered with the radiator and this has now been rectified.

"So dissapointed"
Passed by here so many times and thought we must try it out! Lovely location! Fantastic views but oh my what sad soul less place! Staff so morose and looked as though they'd rather be somewhere else! Apart from the lad in the leisure part and he was really friendly! Breakfast was good but again staff all looked miserable !what a great shame! A visit from alex politzi me thinks !!!

"unfriendly & rundown"
we visited in late october and had booked two superior rooms our first impression was not good. the reception staff were miserable, and we were soon to find out all the staff that work at the hotel could not raise one smile between them. seriously not one of the staff smiled the whole 24 hours we were there, not even once! our 'superior' rooms turned out to be grotty. they were located in the main house were of a reasonable size but were badly dated and smelled quite bad, old and musty. both rooms were freezing. after about two hours, we were so cold in the rooms (we hadnt taken our coats off at this point) we requested portable heaters from reception. they told us that the heating was turned on at 6pm but they would 'try' to find us some heaters in the meantime. an hour and a half later I phoned reception because no heaters had been delivered, they told us they couldnt find any. at 6 the heating did come on, the radiators warmed ever so slightly but it just took the edge off the coldness. the whole hotel was cold, badly lit, felt soul-less with little to no ambience. so too, the rooms had terrible lighting (energy saver bulb) in old pendant shade. the bathroom or actually shower room was tiny with no shelves, you had to balance your washbag on the cistern. the real only plus in the bedroom was that the bed was really comfortable, but the pillows smelled too. we enjoyed the Gym, didn't use the pool and we had a walk in the grounds which again needed attention, breakfast was just ok, the tea was awful though, and none of the staff smiled or made eye contact with us as they served us. the hotel was reasonably priced, but quite honestly this hotel needs major attention, it's dated dreadfully, carpets threadbare on stairs and it not the cleanest. staff need training badly in public relations and taught to smile and look like they enjoy working there, even though it is plain to see they don't, what a shame, could be a nice place with lots of money spent and new management and staff
Dear fiery-arrow Thank you for your candid and considered review of our hotel following your stay with us. I would firstly like to apologise for any interaction with our staff that fell below our very high standards of customer service. Your comments will be passed to the Front of House Manager so that this issue can be addressed.Thank you bringing this to our attention. I must admit I was somewhat taken aback by your comments regarding the hotel in general and your allocated guest room. I was also extremely disappointed that the staff were unable to find suitable room heaters for you and I have asked that this be rectified so that this problem will not reoccur. Your feedback is very important to us as it help us to identify any areas that our guests feel could be improved to enhance their overall experience and enjoyment . Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel I do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you to the Webbington in the future so that we may exceed your expectations and offer the level of service and standards that we pride ourselves on.

"A pleasant stat"
A perfect midweek stay, great value for money as was only £45. Nice meal in restaurant and comfortable room. Only criticism is the gym doesn't have aircon and pool area is too warm, but for the price still good. Close to Weston super mare just about 15 mins away, will definitely come back if I can get at this price again
Dear MBC Mark Thank you for posting a review following your recent stay at the Webbington Hotel. It is always great to read that a guest has enjoyed their stay with us and found us to be great value. It is also very pleasing when guests say they would return and we look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. I have noted your comments regarding the gym and pool area and will pass them on to the Leisure Manager. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Overnight Stay on Charity Bike Ride"
I stayed for one night with a party of 40+ adults on a 2 day charity bike ride. The rooms were clean, and the service at the bar and restaurant was fine, but the evening meal was very bland. I had a pork dinner with a tasleless sauce, and the vegetables were merely boiled, withouit any flavour or taste.
Dear John W Thank you for posting a review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel. I do hope the charity bike ride was successful and that you are well recovered. I was pleased to read that you found your room and the service in the bar and restaurant satisfactory but disappointed that you did not enjoy your meal. Your comments have been passed to the Restaurant Manager who will discuss them with the chef so that we can rectify any problems as soon as possible. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and I thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Needs Some TLC"
Stayed for a three day event. The hotel is in a good location but some money needs to be spent to bring it back to its former beauty. The rooms are on the small side but clean , the staff could do with some more training in how to deal with customer issues. Its not a hotel I will stay in by choice .
Dear Cynthia793 We appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Webbington Hotel and for taking the time to post a review. It is however clear that you were not entirely satisfied and for this I apologise. Our guests observations are paramount and we thank you for your comments and would like to assure you that we take great pride in developing our team through a dedicated training scheme however your comments clearly highlight where we need to develop. The department head has been appraised of your comments and training will be given in an effort to avoid a reoccurrence in the future. We appreciate your concerns and do hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the future. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Family 'Get together'"
Had a couple of days at the Webbington Hotel, found the staff very helpful and accommodating, food excellent. Lovely views from the balcony looking out towards Bream on the Somerset coast. Rooms cleaned and tidied each day. Only two(2) minor complaints 1. Don't take room 113 until they stop the outside light shining in the window at night. 2. They need to replace the coffee machine in the Bar, much better to have them make it in the restaurant. This is a Hotel that myself and our family would return to as we had a very pleasant stay, and my wife had an excellent Spa treatment and swim.
Dear johnmeldrum Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for choosing to stay at the Webbington Hotel. We are pleased to read your positive review and are glad that you found the staff friendly and the accommodation and food excellent. I was delighted to read that your wife enjoyed both the Spa treatment and the views which as you so rightly say are amazing . Your feed back is very much appreciated and your comments regarding both the light and the coffee machine have been passed to the relevant departments so that we can address these issues. It is always satisfying to read that guests would like return and we do hope that we will have the opportunity of welcoming you again soon. Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Disappointing"
We booked two nights at this hotel and overall, we were disappointed. Checking in was like listening to a recorded message...a couple in front of us had to ask the receptionist to repeat what she had said and it was the same for us. We were told that we had been given a courtyard room and this turned out to be a rather inaccurate description given that we looked out onto a large black flat roof with the only connection to a courtyard being that we had to walk across a small courtyard to access the part of the hotel where our room was situated. The room itself was OK apart from the view. It was clean but only superficially so but it did have a comfortable bed. The dining room is perhaps best described as somber! The food was disappointing and we didn't have dinner there on our second evening. Breakfast was fine but the service was poor....we had virtually finished our breakfast before we were asked about hot drinks. It maybe that this hotel is better suited to groups...there was a group in residence when we were there and it was noticeable that, in the dining room, they received immediate service. Check out was similar to checking in....impersonal and what appeared to be a disinterested receptionist....no " we hope you have enjoyed your stay" or even a thank you. I did complete an on line questionnaire for Best Western and the customer service manager did respond very quickly which we appreciated but I doubt we would stay here again if we were in the area.
Dear Suratrichard I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for not exceeding your expectations. I can assure you that your comments will be investigated. We strive to achieve customer satisfaction and provide high levels of customer service and customer satisfaction and clearly on this occasion we did not. We take all our guests comments very seriously and I thank you for your review which will help us identify areas of concern so that we can address them as quickly as possible so that we can continue to provide a superior experience for all our guests, and as you can read from previous reviews many guests have indeed enjoyed their stay. We would very much like to welcome you back to the hotel and should you wish to return for a future stay please contact the hotel directly or via the website so that we may personally assist you in anyway possible and assure you of a comfortable and enjoyable return visit in one of our main house guest rooms. Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager.
"Lovely Location but Hotel a little run down"
We stayed here for a wedding and our room was clean and a reasonable size, however the shower was dangerously hot at first. Unfortunately there was quite a nasty fight in the room next door to us during the evening, which carried on until the early hours of the morning. Both ourselves and the room the other side of them were unable to get to sleep until 2.00am as the staff were hoovering up glass that was in the entrance to the room of the fight once the police had left. I did ask staff if this was likely to on for much longer when the police were there and just received a shrug of the shoulders, one member of staff even laughed about the incident. Breakfast was very nice and plenty of choice, it was also nice to have a room just for wedding guests who had stayed over. Upon checking out, there was quite a large queue so I didn't make a fuss about the previous night's events but did inform the Receptionist that I was not happy to have experienced such an incident and would be complaining, I sent a complaint yesterday by email and am still awaiting a response. I can appreciate the incident was not the fault of the hotel staff but they just didn't seem to have any thought for the guests in the surrounding rooms.
"The webbington disaster "
Absolutely terrible for the accommodation side and catering side. Constent drumming from room 201 as they left there bathroom light on "that's the way the building is built" , I was am told by the duty manager (who was the most unhelpful of all the staff ). Had to constantly get someone to help in the bar as the poor girl was over welded on her own (250 dinner guest) tried to call (10 times from the room , no answer) to complain about the noise from the other room. Called from my mobile 6 times (showed the duty manager as proof.) didn't semed that bothered. I will do everything in my professional courier as a Hotelier to move these functions away from the webbington . We could do very much better
"Not bad..."
Stayed here for work. Was worried having read the reviews but it was better than I expected. I had a room which has been adapted for someone with disabilities and I suspect that might have meant the room was a slightly higher standard than some. Room was a good size with a large bathroom. It was clean if a little dated and tired. Bed was extremely comfortable. The communal ares in the hotel are very worn - carpets ripped etc. there is a nice pool, a good gym and a sauna and steam (although not directly accessible from the pool). The lady on reception at the gym was extremely friendly. Breakfast was fine, average but perfectly acceptable. Bar food was nice although lacking healthier option. Portion sizes were huge and food was served on ridiculous wooden planks, please bring back plates! This hotel would be really tricky for anyone with mobility issues as there are steps everywhere and I couldn't see any ramps or lifts. Free wifi. Walls are very thin so there is a lot of noise from other guests. If Best Western invested a little in this hotel it could be amazing, as it stands it is very average but I was strangely fond of it! If you are in the area the pub called the new inn at cross is only a couple of miles away and well worth a visit.
Dear 141kmr Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for choosing to stay at the Webbington Hotel. I was pleased to read that you found the room to be clean and comfortable and that you enjoyed the breakfast and bar meal. I was also delighted to read that you enjoyed the leisure facility and that our friendly staff was able to enhance your visit. The Webbington does have quite a few steps but we do provide portable ramps and assistance to an guest who may have difficulties with mobility. Your feedback is very much appreciated and your comments have been taken on board as constructive suggestions to help us improve our standards of service and customer care. Once again thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to welcome you again in the future. Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Ruby wedding disaster averted"
We stayed there for a weekend to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary, joined by our two children and their partners. I booked & paid for the non-refundable rooms in advance. Our 'premium' room in the old building was very nice, although with shower & no bath. The kids' rooms were at the back & probably best described as 'adequate'. Our daughter & her husband came down from Lincolnshire, enduring a road trip from hell, and arrived very late. The room I had booked & paid for had seemingly disappeared from the system, but the night porter let them into an unprepared room with a broken fittings & cobwebs. After a 7 hour drive, they were too tired to do much more than put up with it. Cock-ups happen & the important thing is how does a business deal with them; in this case the management accepted their mistake without argument, apologised profusely, refunded the first night & sorted their original room properly for the second. A reasonable response - I'm not greedy. Breakfasts were excellent, with proper fried bread & everything. We also had dinner there twice. The food was good, not bad value for money & the service excellent. We also enjoyed sitting around the bar area & on the terrace while we chatted. We were very lucky with the weather & made the most of the chance to get outdoors. Overall I'd say the staff were friendly, helpful and we enjoyed our stay (apart from our daughter's first night), managing to climb Crook peak and also visit the ss Great Britain in Bristol. Crook peak was well worth the effort, despite there being a lot of haze. On a clear day it would be a 'must-do' activity.
Dear Devon Dozer Thank you for posting a review following your stay at The Webbington Hotel. I would like to apologise once again for the problems encountered with your daughters room, however I was pleased to read that the staff were able to rectify this matter swiftly and satisfactorily. I was also delighted that you enjoyed your breakfast and that the service was good. I would agree with you that the terrace is a great place to sit and chat whilst taking in the amazing views and I glad that the weather was kind to you. Your feedback is important to us and I thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel. Many Congratulations on your Ruby Wedding Anniversay Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Beautiful hotel"
Stunning hotel, with beautiful views, friendly staff and very clean. The spa has good facilities and is also clean and in good order. The food was good and very reasonable. The hotel is set in some lovely grounds and has got some very nice features. Everytime I have driven down the motorway (which is on a weekly basis), I've always saw this place and thought I'd love to go there and it didn't let my expectations down. There are some minor things such as there are no lifts in the newer part of the building so that may be worth noting if you have trouble with stairs. The roads getting to the hotel are quite windy and on one part of the road was slippy due to mud - not the fault of the hotel but worth noting if you're visiting. The motorway noise is audible if you have the windows open, again not the fault of the hotel but worth noting if like me you have to have a window open, although it wasn't audible with it closed. Overall a very enjoyable experience.
Dear Bizziebod Thank you for taking the time to post a review of our Webbington Hotel. It was a pleasure to read your comments and I am delighted that we did not disappoint you and that you had an enjoyable stay. The hotel is in a beautiful setting with stunning views and has great facilities including the spa and we hope that we will have the pleasure of welcoming you again so that you can enjoy both. Kind regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relation Manager.
"Best Western Webbington"
Stayed for 1 night whilst visiting friends in nearby Turnham-on-Sea. Arrived early (10.30 am) but our room was made available very quickly so we were able to spend the rest of the day with friends. Staff were professional and courteous even though it was obvious that there were some trainees. Only downside was that it was a little difficult to get to the hotel when travelling from the North - luckily the weather was good and we didn't meet any farm vehicles in the narrow lanes!!
"A lovely wedding"
We attended a wedding and breakfast here, the second time but not for at least 12 years. We arrived and sat down in the bar area. Drinks were expensive, inner London prices. Being a wedding I would have thought guests would have an area to themselves but guests who had nothing to do with the wedding had to make their way three ugh the wedding party to their rooms. This is nobody's fault except the hotel who should arrange things better than this. The room for the ceremony was just the right size and comfortable. Following the ceremony we were decanted back to the bar and patio area. There drinks and canapés were served. The drinks were lovely but the canapés were not at all nice and had been prepared earlier. The patio could have done with a tidy up as there were some old flip flops left by previous guests and some of the tables still had manufacturers labels on. The Webbington's location is excellent save for the presence of the M5 and there is always a considerable amount of background noise from it. We were called for a general photograph elsewhere in the hotel and were processed through empty and storage rooms to the steps outside. There must have been a better way to go. The staff reset the original room for the wedding breakfast and we then all went in and sat down in our allocated places. The staff tried to serve me pate when I had ordered soup. Got my soup but none of us has spoons with which to drink it. One guest on our table was a celiac and as ever she had to make this clear every time a course came. The food was lovely. The MC was especially good, friendly, assured and experienced. In all it was a lovely wedding. We thoroughly enjoyed it and the food, but the hotel could have done more to ensure that guests have some privacy from other hotel guests and that the place is clean and tidy. It just needs some better management I feel to raise the standard.
Dear MikeS Thank you for your review following your stay at the Webbington Hotel. I was pleased to read that the wedding was lovely and that you enjoyed it. However I was disappointed that there were areas where you felt we could improve and I have passed your comments on to the management at the hotel so that these can be looked at and the necessary improvements made. Your feedback is very important to us and I thank you for taking the time to post a review . Kind Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
"Lacking atmosphere, needs TLC."
We arrived for a two night break & were lukewarmly greeted by the lady on Reception. We were housed a little away from the hotel in one of the out buildings across the yard. The room itself ws clean, if a little dated. Unfortunately we were not warned that a Wedding was taking place in the grounds & that a disco would be on until midnight - consequently I got very little sleep on the first night, the thumping noise was so loud the glass in the windows vibrated slightly. The second night was slightly better, given that there was no disco. The hotel location lends itself well as a base for attractions, it is a little dated & needs a lick of paint & new carpets. Upon leaving the Receptionist didn't bother asking how our stay was (perhaps she knew what the answer would be); the cleaning staff were the friendliest - time to swap some roles around methinks!
Dear Beth M Thank you for your review following your recent stay with us. I would firstly like to apologise for any interaction with our reception team that fell below your expectations and our own very high customer service standards. We pride ourselves on the level of customer service we offer and we will ensure a similar situation does not arise again in the future. I was also disappointed to read that you were disturbed by the wedding taking place we endeavour to ensure our guest are not inconvenienced by the wedding celebrations however this does not seem to have been the case on this occasion and for this I apologise. Your feed back is very important to us and helps us identify areas that our guest feel could be improved to enhance their overall experience . Thank you for choosing the Webbington Hotel and I do sincerely hope that you will consider staying with us again so that we may exceed your expectations and offer the levels of service and standards that we pride ourselves on Regards Sabrina Cox Guest Relations Manager
