Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was beautiful and definitely worth exploring, especially for its excellent parking facilities, but the noise from the nearby pub with live entertainment was bothersome. The room, although spacious, lacked certain amenities like a wardrobe, and there were a couple of cleanliness issues that could be improved.
The hotel had a fantastic location, close to the town center and across from the Terry Pratchet museum/shop. The rooms were compact but adequate for a one-night stay, although we found some rubbish under the bed. The dining experience at The Dolphin was of good standard with a great choice, though the promptness of refills could be improved. Overall, a beautiful location that needed a bit of TLC, covered with a huge gazebo.
I stayed at the hotel, which had a great location in the center of town, making it convenient for exploring Wincanton and the surrounding areas. The rooms were comfy but a bit cramped due to the setup of two adjoining rooms. The service was top-notch, and the dining experience was scrummy. Ample parking spaces were available as a bonus.
