We have stayed at The Mount Somset Hotel on 2 occassions now. Each time we book a deluxe room, ideally a garden room with it's own private balcony and jacuzzi, however this was not available on our last trip so we had the deluxe double room. The standard of decor is fantastic, a cross between Malmaison and Hard Rock. Beautiful... More

I received an email from Secret Escapes offering me a deal with this hotel for a Romantic Weekend break. I phoned the hotel and they offered me the same deal (B+B for 2 nights plus dinner on one night for B+B price) and they also included a cream tea. We had a lovely weekend in the hotel. The food was... More

Just returned home after an overnight stay at the Mount Somerset which my husband had booked as a birthday surprise for me. We stayed in the Othery room, which was absolutely beautiful, having a small lounge area complete with sofa and coffee table as well as an ensuite bathroom with huge walk-in shower and claw foot bath. Attention to detail... More

Stayed for a week on a course and was very impressed with the location, the rooms and most of all the food. Hotel is nicely situated for the M5 (5 mins) and easy enough to find. Staff were also very pleasant. Would recommend. More

Booked this hotel for one night in advance of a wedding at the nearby Hestercombe Gardens (lovely, btw) and am delighted we did. I've been lucky enough stay in some amazing hotels and The Mount is was very nice; the vibe & service is chilled and a lot like being in someone's country house for the weekend rather than some...

It was a lovely hotel. Very grand rooms. Huge bathroom very clean. The location was picturesque, like something out of a Jane Eyre novel. Nice food too. More

Staff were a credit to the company, two girls on the arrival desk when we arrived a blonde and Michelle? (going from unreliable memory!) Checked us in warmly and suggested we take afternoon tea, which we did and boy were we pleased we did! Still talking about it now! I won't list everything, but my other half and I have... More

Met a friend there for lunch breaking a journey back from Cornwall, the main car park was full and we had to dodge a "teambuilding exercise" in the overflow car park, avoiding poles, barrels and salespeople scratching their heads. The hotel looks a little tired, and the reception desk looked unprofessional with the receptionist's drink in a mug sitting on... More

Perfect for a bit of a Downton daydreaming, this manor house with ancient lineage and a modern, gilt-edged feel is a retreat in itself - not least because it feels like a bit of a trek to get anywhere else nearby. Fabulous rooms are good value (look out for some great last-minute deals on its website) and the free spa... More
