Culbone accommodation

The staff were absolutely excellent with warmth and helpfulness throughout. The building is old and so the hotel isn’t modern but it is charming. Food was excellent and the bar pleasant and comfortable. The leisure facilities were lovely. Overall a very relaxing and peaceful stay.

We went to celebrate our Golden Wedding and visit friends. The hotel was friendly with good food and fitted the bill for our requirements. Thank you The Bear.

Wiveliscombe is a small town a few miles west of Taunton with a distinctly rural feel. The hotel is in the centre and has its own car park. The building is old and certainly characterful. Our room was at the back, reached by a bit of a maze of stairs and passages (no lift but not a problem for us) and was clean, warm and well maintained. The bed seemed slightly hard. Both the room and en suite were a good size and the shower worked well. Breakfast was a continental buffet with a reasonable variety of items on offer. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant two nights. Food quality was very good but menu was limited. There is a pub over the road (the Bear) which serves food but we did not try it. I liked the bar which served local ciders and beers. Staff were pleasant and helpful. We rode on the West Somerset (steam) railway, their Bishops Lydeard station is about a quarter of an hour’s easy drive away. The White Hart is a nice alternative to chain hotels in the Taunton area
