Farthings Country House Hotel & Restaurant Tunton

A trial.

Liked: Breakfast was ok.
Disliked: In our room one of the bedside lights would not switch on and in trying to do so the whole assembly fell apart leaving exposed wires. I had to crawl under the bed to unplug it for safety reasons. In the bathroom the shower did not drain properly making it necessary to keep showers brief! The bed itself was the smallest double you could imagine. There were only two other rooms occupied on this night yet it appears we were given the worst in the house. this could have something to do with our failure to respond to the repeated request for further credit card details so they could take money in advance. We were unable to do this due to traveling, being at sea and out of WIFI contact. This hotel is paranoid about getting money up front, you can't even go in for their overpriced dinner without first leaving your credit card details.

Exceptional

Liked: Very friendly, delicious breakfast and good food.

Refined property with great staff...

Liked: Lovely 'home from home' hotel with dogs you can play with in the garden, beautiful surroundings and delicious food at dinner.
Disliked: We love the peacock in the daytime, but not when it screeches in the middle of the night!

Very tranquil place to recharge...

Liked: Room was very spacious. Tea ,coffee etc in room was great and we were impressed with milk jug in fridge rather than plastic UHT. Bathroom had lovely shower and nice toiletries provided. Gardens are great along with resident peacock, ducks , Guinea fowl and lovely dogs.Breakfast was fresh with a good choice of homemade food.

Great service and wonderful food.

Liked: The rooms, the garden with birds, but most of all the food!! It was gorgeous.

Liked: This is a beautiful hotel with stunning gardens. The evening meal and breakfast included lots of fresh local produce and were delicious. The staff were warm and relaxed. Our rooms were huge and my daughter's included a spiral staircase to the bathroom! Ours was modern and spotless and opened on to the garden. Close to the M5 and with an EV charger - would have liked to stay longer!
Disliked: Liked it all.

Exceptional

Loved it! The bonus was...

Liked: Although we weren't provide with rooms that were near one another, thought was given to my husband's mobility issues and a ground floor room was provided - perfect! Breakfast was delicious and the room was beautiful - very spacious and lovely bathroom.
Disliked: The only addition to improve our stay would have been a coffee machine in the room rather than instant coffee. We appreciated the fresh milk in the fridge though.
