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.

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!

Verified traveller

The staff were very good and the property was very clean. We stayed in room 5 and there is quite a narrow steep staircase that has a tight turn in it.
