Found The Olive Mill by chance, but was delighted that I did. I could not imagine a more beautiful setting. Excellent for business people which was the purpose of my visit, but will return for a short holiday break. Food was simply brilliant. The staff were thoughtful and courteous, and the whole stay was fantastic value for money. I would... More

Just stayed at The Olive Mill, at Chilton, Polden Hill near Bridgwater Somerset. The Olive Mill is a Bar Restaurant with a number of En-Suite rooms. The venue is right on the top of the Polden ridge with sweeping views over the Somerset levels (Bird watching country) towards Cheddar, you can walk on good paths directly from the car park... More

Given the location, the views from the bedrooms and the glowing reviews from other visitors, The Olive Mill clearly has potential but our one night stay was very disappointing. The immediate surroundings are more moonscape than landscape with rubble and rubbish aplenty. Tacky, faux wood panelling in the accommodation corridors, insects in the light fittings, old sugar and coffee under... More

I stayed 3 nights for business. The Olive Mill is in the country but not far from Glastonbury, Taunton and Bridgewater. They looked after me really well and I would certainly stay again. It would be a lovely hotel for a romantic break or base for the family. Try and get a balcony room - overlooking the Somerset levels with... More

My family of four spent a very please stay at the Olive Mill. We had a warm welcome to our tidy, comfortable en suite rooms, both with lovely views to the hills to the north. At dinner we revived an equally warm welcome. The food was good value, with lots of choice for the children, myself a fish eater and... More

This is our fourth visit to the Olive mill over the past 18 months and I can honestly say that every time the service and food have been outstanding. We brought along our 8yo daughter and the food provided for her was of equal quality to our main meal. They were very busy but we were still served in good... More

Dinner with the family. Found that the service was very slow and the portions on some of the food were small. Prices weren't too bad and location has some nice views but the food really let the place down.

Stayed as a last minute one night stay to visit family, the bar, staff and rooms were all better than expected and better than you expect from the outside. The big surprise was the catering, arrived in time for a Sunday carvery and despite having eaten in many top class restaurants i have to say probably the best Sunday carvery... More
