On arrival, the setting of this hotel is enchanting, it was a lovely day in Somerset. We had arrived for our first break together since the kids arrived. No KIDS on the website, great we thought ! At the entrance there was a line-up of mobility scooters and zimmer frames with wheels. Then as we walked to our room an... More

Just spent three nights at this great hotel in a lovely location. Very efficiently organised, with extremely friendly, helpful staff, and good food, Everything in the room worked as it should from the hairdryer to the shower and was spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend.

My husband and I were very excited about staying at this listed house and very much looking forward to relaxing in the grounds and sampling the food at the Italian restaurant. I chose this hotel due to the fact that it was adults only and I wanted to celebrate my wedding anniversary in style. It became quite apparent when arriving... More

Hello, Whilst I was delighted to read that the hotel and team delivered great standards of accommodation, food and entertainment for you it was disappointing to read of the experience you encountered with a few fellow guests. I can assure you that this is something I have never heard before, the majority of our guests are aged 55+ but all... More

The worse weather in Somerset for over 100 years couldn't spoil our recent stay at Cricket. We have been many times and the management are improving those things that need to be done and keeping the things which are outstanding as they are. All the staff are friendly and professional and the Entertainment Team go out of their way to... More

This was our second visit to Cricket St Thomas and overall it was excellent. We had a Contemporary Royale room which was spacious and very quiet. The staff are superb, very friendly and helpful. I would prefer the Italian resturant to improve the menu choices as it was the same as last year. Breakfast is very crowded and not relaxing.... More

Just returned from a four night break at this Warner Hotel, as usual it was a good value for money break. The Hotel and grounds are beautiful and Warner certainely have combined the old House with a modern hotel well. The accomadation is some distance from the main part of the Hotel and I can imagine this could cause difficulties... More

Having just spent three nights at the Hotel I am a little mystified about some of the previous poor comments, unless they were staying at another Hotel. The reason I say this is that I found it hard to find any fault with the Hotel, Staff, Food etc.. The rooms are of good size with very comfortable beds. The food... More

Having stayed at several Warners this is without doubt the poorest one. Let me say the buildings and the layout were first class as was our room. The big let down was the food . It was of poor quality and frequently cold. The breakfast had a great selection but the food was just not hot. Dinner was much the... More

Since our first stay at Cricket last year, the Purtington Suite has lured us out of the Hudson Taylor Room. Occupying a large part of the first floor of the old house the suite is simply palatial. When we stayed for a week last September, it would have been hard to imagine how the suite or the service could be... More
