The food was great and would have had a great rating. However, the rooms are a bit tired and the service wasn't exactly attentive. Big thumbs up for the restaurant, but held back by the hotel itself. That said I will continue to use the Ilchester Arms as a one night stop over when travelling through Somerset.

Reviews are such a personal thing - I was expecting a lot more given the rave reviews. The location is good for all the tourist venues - Sparkford, Fleet Airarm museum, etc. It isn't too far from Yeovil either. Anyway, the hotel itself is quite a grand building, as can be seen on the various pictures. It is right on... More

Stayed here for one night to break journey north after week's holiday in Cornwall. Very pretty spacious room on top floor with large bathroom and very comfortable bed. Country decor with stripped pine and florals, everything very clean and well equipped. Breakfast was good & plentiful, staff friendly and helpful.

Just back from a one night stay at this beautiful hotel. The family room was fabulous as it's sort of seperated into three parts giving our teenage sons, and us, a little privacy.
