Situated on an industrial estate right next to the M5 did not sound a hopeful location; in fact it was better than we expected. The staff were very helpful, we couldn't hear any traffic noise from our room and the breakfast was the best we have had in a Holiday Inn, even though we didn't eat until 9.15am. In fact we made this comment to the lady in chargeand a few moments later, she came to our table with the young man who was the chef that morning and said it was good for him and his staff to hear they were appreciated.

Being on the junction of roads that go North, South, East and West, also meant that it is good central location close to attractions such as Exmoor and Glastonbury, both within 30 minutes. Would we stay there again, you bet we would.

My wife and I stayed a Saturday night on points and selected this hotel specifically because we wanted good leisure facilities. We were not dissapointed. The Spirit fitness centre is free to hotel guests, the pool is excellent with whirlpool and sauna. The gym is extensive and very well equiped and everything was very clean and nice.

The hotel is a reasonable Holiday Inn and better than many I have stayed in, in this country, as they can be extremely variable. The rooms are not big but clean and nice and breakfast was excellent although expensive. There is an excellent pub within walking distance with outstanding food and so no need to eat in the hotel. The only downside was that the air conditioning was broken and it was hot to say the least.

The rack rate is ridiculous and even discounted, the hotel is not cheap, and I would be reluctant to pay this for a normal stay when the leisure facilities might not be used so much.

This hotel is OK but begs the question what is the point of paying Holiday Inn prices compared to an Express or Travel Inn? It is a charmless motel and let’s face it most guests don’t have time for the pool. Check in was fine and they have luggage trolleys to help. Mine and my colleague’s rooms had sofa beds made up in them – why when we were single business travellers! They were quite quick at taking them down when asked. The rooms are ok – but bland and dated, at least they have a duvet. Breakfast was fine, not great. One nice touch – board games in the lobby which were fun.
Overall, this place is Ok but rather overpriced – for the money it needs to offer more panache.

Stayed here at one-night Autumn break rate. Executive room with breakfast was good value but I would certainly not pay the extortionate rack rate, whether on business or leisure!

Quiet, well furnished room with compact modern bathroom.

Lounge bar did good food and restaurant service at breakfast was friendly and efficient.

Very convenient for M5 motorway without traffic noise.
