We enjoyed a two night stay here in September and found the owners and staff to be very helpful and pleasant. They took time to chat and offer advice. Our room was spacious with a nice sitting area. The meals were also good and we had dinner both nights. It is a lovely quiet hotel in nice surroundings and Brent... more

We have stayed several times with present and previous owners. This time we were disappointed, for similar reasons to those expressed by a previous correspondent as long ago as 2006. The food is quite ok and certain rooms are less comfortable than others. But why even make such a bland comment? For 2 reasons. First, It's because we detected a... more

What can one say except to say AYE to all previous reviews. Woodlands is run by Glenda and Peter Botes from Cape Town, where Peter has acquired tremendous experience in the hotel industry. They have now "retired" and work round the year for the lucky guests that find Woodlands and Brent Knoll. The house is old and charming and the... more

We decided to stay half way between London and Conrnwall (Eden Project 2 hours away). This hotel is family run by Peter and Glenda. You couldnt want more hospitable people.

I have recently completed a long stay at the Woodlands of approx 18 months whilst I was working away from home in the local area. Being away for so long during the week is always difficult, especially where young children are involved. However, Glenda and Peter made me feel part of the family with a warm friendly atmosphere. Nothing was... more

Woodlands Country House was a pleasure to stay in. After a lovely day in Cheddar gorge, which is really close, we were warmly welcomed by the owners and after a brief rest we had a superb cup of tea and scones with cream. Only regret not having more daylight to walk the wonderful fields around. After a really friendly glass... more
