“Tranquil, comfortable, beautiful, full of little luxuries and welcoming!”
+The house was beautiful with pretty gardens and meadows. Wonderful views from the meadow especially at sunset. Host Caroline was very welcoming and friendly. So much attention to detail in the bedrooms and bathrooms, with expensive brand shampoos, shower/bath gel and body lotion for general use. Bed was really comfortable with great weight duvets, pillows and crisply ironed cotton sheets! Had my best nights sleep for a long time. Nothing has been done or provided cheaply or any corners cut. Breakfast was superb. Lovely fresh fruit, Greek yoghurt and cereals, nuts, seeds and a full cooked breakfast with whatever combination you wanted. Caroline was the consummate host, cook, gardener and everything else in one person! Cannot recommend it highly enough. A real treat.
−Nothing!

“Like being welcomed into a Georgian masterpiece”
+Wow, what an amazing home.. a mix of eras ( old and very old) but stuffed with Caroline’s fab tasteful array of items. The gardens are also her passion, large and loved, stunning roses and herbaceous borders. The host is so generous, allowing guests to help themselves to many options in drinks and biscuits. She is sooo welcoming and interesting to chat with too. We didn’t use the tennis court , rain stopped play, but guests can and it is nicely resurfaced. The breakfast is grand, so much choice and great quality. Thankyou so much, Caroline.
−Absolutely nothing at all

+Caroline is a gem! She makes sure you are comfortable and have what you need to enjoy your stay. Appreciated the little things like having tissue and a washcloth. Her home is beautifully decorated, each room full of wonderful period pieces. The first rooms are large. The gardens and green space is huge! You truly feel you're at a retreat. Location was only 19 minutes from Brympton House, where we attended a wedding. The house has several rooms and can accommodate at least 12ppl. Highly recommend one stay here on their travels throughout this region of the UK!

+Caroline was a consummate host. Her care for the details, however minuscule, made for a tremendously enjoyable experience. The house was grand, the garden was beautiful, and breakfast was perfect. We look forward to returning to the Old Rectory.
−Nothing. We loved our stay and would gladly recommend the Old Rectory.

“Fairytale B&B experience in Somerset.”
+Absolutely wonderful luxury experience for us and our 4 younger children, which I know is not the usual B&B clientele! In the middle of an extended travel holiday of all sorts of quality-levels, this property and wonderful host Caroline was by far our most memorable stay. The suite on the top floor was perfectly appointed for a family. Children played in garden and tennis courts, followed Sam the dog (a bit too much perhaps), we were able to park our mammoth rental van in the parking accommodations, have wine on the patio, breakfasts were a delight, and the property itself is just stunning and so well decorated. The location is perfect for small day excursions exploring Dorset and the Jurassic coast and we had the most fantastic dinner at a pub down the road. This stay experience will be such a core memory for myself and children.
−There is nothing to dislike.
