    charming decor
    cozy general areas
    inviting atmosphere
    missing lift
    staircase challenge

    The Shrubbery has a charming boutique-style decor that feels inviting. I appreciated the well-furnished general areas and how cozy they were, making it easy for my friends and me to relax and chat without any hassle.

    A lift would be helpful for seniors.

    great gin selection
    clean bathroom
    comfortable room
    cold room

    Loved the bar selection!

    We stayed for a night and the bar was really cool with tons of gin options. Our room was comfy and clean, though it felt a bit worn out. The bathroom was fab! We had some heating issues, so it was a bit chilly, but breakfast was on point and hot. Will remember this place for sure!

    clean room

    It was just a suitable option for a holiday in Ilminster with good value considering the price it charged. Staff were friendly and provided a warm welcome upon arrival. Try to book a quieter room at the back if possible.

    cold room

    Had a fantastic time with friends here! We loved exploring the beautiful garden and trying out outdoor activities like hiking and mountain biking. The staff were super friendly, and the breakfast was a great start to our day. Perfect for a fun getaway!

    We had an issue with the heating in our room. It got quite cold overnight, and we wished for better heating options during our stay.

    helpful staff
    pleasant gardens
    dusty room
    broken bathroom panel
    insufficient hot water

    Helpful and cheerful staff made check-in a pleasant experience, while the gardens offered a nice spot to relax. Unfortunately, the room had issues, it was dusty with a broken bathroom panel and insufficient hot water. The bed was too soft, leaving me with an aching back the next morning, which detracted from the stay.

    tired decor
    needed updates

    The room was spacious and comfortable, which was a nice surprise. The vintage decor added charm, but it did feel a bit tired. The shower was powerful, which was awesome after a long day. it was decent, but a few updates wouldn't hurt.
