Great little hotel with charm and helpful owners

Excellent stay. Really friendly and helpful owners. Breakfast was great (poached eggs the best I've ever had). Really helpful with ideas of where to visit, what to see and where to eat. Couple of great recommendations for food. Location is right in the heart of this small town and with pubs and restaurants within a short stroll. Electric charging onsite is a bonus!! Highly recommended

10/10 Exceptional

Warm welcoming hosts. Really comfortable bed. Lots of attention to detail and can see they are continuing to invest in the property in the interest of providing a great experience for its guests. Parking is a huge plus as difficult to park in Chard and you can walk right onto the highstreet to pubs and restaurants. Would stay again.

Excellent find.

We had a warm welcome at Watermead House. Having booked very late, our room was on the top floor. It was extremely comfortable with tea/coffee making facilities, a large screen television and a spacious shower. We found it lovely and quiet. We appreciated the advice on local restaurants which were a short walk away. Breakfast was exceptional, ordered the evening before from a wide selection so no delay and very tasty.

Woke up to the dawn chorus, which was great

Trudy and David were excellent hosts and could not fault the service. I will certainly return when down near Chard in the future.

Very nice!

Trudy and David made me feel very welcome; my room was upgraded at no extra cost and i had my suitcase carried up to my room. Every was in the room that I needed! The breakfast was also very nice- all local produce used. I shall certainly stay at Watermead again if i am in the area!

4/10 Fair

Despite booking and paying in advance, the owner was not expecting us. At 8.30pm after a long day this is the last thing anyone wants to hear. The owner then proceeded to blame Expedia and others for the mistake - the owner told us that they had no rooms left but wasn’t apologetic and then offered an alternative room in an annexe they normally use for Airbnb. At least we had a place to stay! We left early in the morning and didn’t stay for breakfast as we were disappointed with the whole experience!
