Quaint, central to the places we needed to go to in Wellington. The hosts were friendly. Room warm and comfortable, except there was no chair. (No room)

The Blue Mantle is an old building so you accept that the rooms will be small and pokey, but the shower was particularly tiny and hard to use! (and we are small people, I would hate to imagine a large person in the shower we had!) We were in room 1 and I feel it isn’t suitable for older people. There was a high step up to the bathroom and a very dodgy unstable sliding door. For someone older, who needs to get up 2-3 times during the night, this was a fall hazard. Perhaps it should be advertised as being unsuitable for older guests. Breakfasts were also confusing. It should just be continental £7 and full English £10, not the confusing “one/two options from A or B”.

Very friendly family, great breakfast, especially accommodating gluten free preference

All good

Easy to find from motorway. In a central position and easy to park.Warm welcome from host. Quiet and comfortable rooms and bathroom., all necessary facilities have been carefully considered. Breakfast excellent and in pleasant surroundings. In the evening I was able to find food in the town and even went to see a film in the nearby cinema.

There was nothing I did not like during my stay.

Excellent cooked English breakfast and fair value at £7 Plenty of road parking outside/

A little noise from the street at night

The location in the town centre is ideal for me as I come to visit friends and relations from when I used to live in Wellington a few years ago. There’s always a warm welcome from the owner and there’s a happy family atmosphere.

The taps on the bedroom washbasin gave a very slow of water.

Really convenient location and great for access into Taunton. The breakfast was incredible and the timings are very flexible, one of the only places I have stayed in a long time where you can have breakfast at 7am to get to work on time.

The odd load car, but you get that everywhere. Not a negative, more of an observation.

The room was sweet, Andrew and Louise were wonderful hosts. Breakfast was yummy. The facility is just lovely.

The parking was a bit challenging, but Andrew and Louise helped us make a plan.

I couldn't fault it. Friendly family and the young son helping was great. Stunning building

Honesty can't fault

Quaint building, lovely bed, lovely breakfast. Accommodating, helpful lovely couple owners.

(Room 1)Creaky bathroom floor, temporary door, extractor switch hard to find!

Louise & Andrew were extremely friendly and accommodating hosts who were in regular contact before we arrived for our one night stay (Room 8) in August 23. Our room was clean, beautifully decorated and with a large, separate (non-shared) shower room that suited our tastes. The Blue Mantle occupies the site of a former Victorian hotel and is architecturally very quirky and beautiful - particularly the front, breakfast dining room with its expansive, large-paned windows. Our room was comfortable and very quiet - owing to its situation at the rear of the property - and came with complimentary tea and biscuits. Special mention must be made to the wonderful (optional) breakfast we enjoyed during our short stay - fantastic quality, locally sourced ingredients, large portions and well cooked at a very economical £7 per person. Wellington was a very pleasant town to briefly visit with great options for eating out and meeting the locals in the nearby pubs and inns. One of the nicest and certainly best value short stays we have ever had the pleasure of - keep up the good work Andrew & Louise - we will be back!

Just a very minor suggestion to provide a couple of small glasses for a bedside glass of water at night although we made do with the tea mugs.

A lovely place to stay. The host, the room and location in the town centre are major plus points.

Very tasty. Great value!

A late check in was greeted with no problems whatsoever by the host. Showed to the room and the facilities were explained in full. Even a quick guide to the towns hostelries was supplied!!

Nothing to report

Lovely stay as usual

Second visit and this time it felt like home away from home. And I cannot stress enough how good the English Breakfast was - ridiculously large and the most delicious black pudding served with fresh coffee - it really did look like the photo.

Andrew was so helpful and friendly and the breakfast was really great and really good value. Comfortable rooms and very clean and very reasonable. Really friendly family run business I will definetely book again when staying in Wellington.

everything

nothing

Beautiful and very old hotel lovingly restored. Warm welcome and fabulous breakfast.

Lovely property to stay if visiting the area

good value friendly slept very well

tiny shower room tiny sink no wardrobe, just some hooks on the wall but perfectly adequate for a short stay

Little gem in Wellington Somerset. Located on the main road, near (yards) from centre though rooms at back so quiet, on street parking no problem. Met and shown round by friendly host, excellent decorate, clean and everything you would want (and it works) comfy bed, quiet and darkroom, wonderful shower . Full English breakfast was excellent, will definitely stay again

Could ask for anything more or better, didn't want to leave!

The room was perfect with a huge television and very quiet. Bathroom was spotless with free toiletries. The owners went way beyond my expectations and nothing was too much trouble and the breakfast was probably the best I’ve had. All produce was locally sourced especially the bacon, eggs and sausage which was from the local butcher 100 yards up the road.

There were no faults with my stay.

Breakfast was delicious! Beds comfortable, lovely atmosphere all round
