Melanie & Martín are excellent hosts and their accommodation offers very thoughtful amenities far exceeding those at normal lodgings. Breakfast time was an opportunity to enjoy shooting the breeze with the hosts and other lodgers, and the range of home-grown and home-made preserves and other fare was truly impressive. Lovely home, lovely people and lovely village. Highly recommended. Pauline & Chris

Martin and Melanie are lovely hosts. B&B is a short walks from local pubs. The sunday lunch in the George was excellent. Breakfast around the kitchen table with the other guests was a real treat. As was the various fruits from their garden. Easy travel to numerous places including Stourhead and the Fleet Air Arm Museum. Great hosts highly recommended.

Fabulous guesthouse. Hosts Martin and Melanie are so friendly and helpful. We had a lovely top floor room overlooking the beautiful back garden and fields.beyond. seperate big bathroom across the corridor for our own personal use with a lovely roll-top bath in the middle. The bedroom and bathroom were spotless. It was extremely hot when we were there but Melanie kindly provided a fan for our second night. Our hosts also provided an amazing continental breakfast with homemade preserves, granola, figs from the garden, croissants and other standard items. Conveniently located for a walk to town (10 mins) and a pub with good traditional food (1 min) and beautiful country walks on your doorstep - our dog loved it too. Would definitely recommwnd to others

Very friendly B&B in the more traditional sense of staying in a welcoming home. Great breakfast in the family kitchen warmed by the Aga. And I wholly recommend the eggs, especially scrambled on sourdough. Delightful and would happily stay again - and especially to pet Willow the dog.

A lovely stay with Martin and Mel. The room was comfortable and clean with a lovely view of the countryside. The breakfasts were lovely with the added conversations at the kitchen table! The location was fab for exploring Somerset.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 nights stay at Ellesmere House. Martin and Melanie were wonderful hosts who couldn't do enough for us. A lovely room overlooking the beautiful garden, spotlessly clean and a comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choices to start the day.

Absolutely beautiful B B run by great owners, who serve up a the best scrambled eggs I've ever had. Local pubs are amazing selling great food also! All the shops you will need and a beautiful 10 minute walk up a hill behind the B B to take in the view of the surrounding area. Perfect Stay.

Very friendly host and comfortable accommodation. The continental breakfast is excellent with home made cereals and lots of fruit. Parking is on the street but plenty of space during our visit. The bathroom was not en suite but was across a corridor from the bedroom, it was for our exclusive use (not shared). Located near a nice pub that does good pub-style food and easy walk to village centre. Overall a great base to explore the area.
