Pleasant stay near the caves

convenient locationfree parkingscruffy decor

I found the location quite convenient, especially its proximity to the Wookey Hole Caves. The hotel provided free parking, a definite plus with cars. The restaurant offered delicious food. I thoroughly enjoyed my evening meal. The staff was amiable.

My room could use some redecorating as it looked somewhat scruffy. I also noticed some mould near the top of the wall tiles in the shower. Hot water came out, so I was afraid from the shower dial.
