Feel part of the local community immediately at Ellesmere, equal measure of freedom and support.

Dog-friendly! The hosts, Melanie and Martin were like weekend parents, very caring and helpful but left you to your own devices. Free parking and taxi service from Martin.

hair and spiders under the bed, hot water on a timer, no wifi (3g/4g was available)

Castle Cary’s best

Melanie and Martin are perfect hosts, who made us feel very welcome. The house is stylish and full of personal touches and outside is a lovely space to relax after a busy day sightseeing. Breakfast is exceptional, with wonderful homemade granola and compotes, and Martin’s scrambled eggs a tour de force!

Beautiful and charming Bed and Breakfast with wonderful hosts.

The house is absolutely charming. It is very clean and well appointed. The breakfast was lovely and the room was very comfortable. Martin and Melanie are wonderful hosts. The house is very well located for visiting the area. We travelled to stay for an event at The Newt and it was perfect. We would highly recommend it.

A relaxing stay in a beautiful home and town with wonderful hosts

Martin and Melanie really went above and beyond. We were there for a wedding nearby. Melanie ironed our outfits and Martin dropped us off and picked us up from the wedding. The breakfasts were amazing, lots of things from their garden and Martin cooked us delicious scrambled eggs. We loved our time in Somerset and thank you very much Martin and Melanie for making us feel so welcome in your home.

Would very definitely stay again! The hosts were very, very welcoming.Areally lovely atmosphere.

Superb breakfast. The Granola and the compotes were divine. The ambience throughout the whole house was lovely. Lots of very interesting eclectic artefacts which were a feast for the eyes.

There was no en suite, but a shared bathroom with other bedrooms. Luckily no one else was staying on our floor.

Simply fantastic! I look forward to coming to stay again :)

Martin greeted me at the door - extremely welcoming, helpful, friendly, and communication was excellent! Could not be more attentive, superb host! Thank you! :) You could hear a pin drop which made for a superb nights sleep. Views to die for. The homemade granola and the scrambled eggs were incredible! Your two dogs (and the visitor dog) also made for great company in the morning! :)

I feel I lived in a friend’s home, so sweet and cozy!

The room is a real home. I like the bed most. Usually beds in UK is too soft, but this one is just perfect. I had a best sleep. Melanie and Martin are very nice and kind. Martin is so good at making breakfast. Everything is home-made. Especially all kinds of jam, I love it. It was a good stay.

Lovely, convenient country getaway

Easy, comfortable getaway from London! Really appreciated Melanie and Martin's help planning a weekend out with our dog: pub recommendations/bookings, walking recommendations. They know the area really well and can help you tailor your plans accordingly. It's easy to enjoy Ellesmere without a car as we did, having arrived by train, because Martin runs a little taxi service for guests (for a reasonable price). Breakfasts excellent and relaxed, dog-friendly atmosphere. Very clean and characterful house.

Not a complaint but we didn't realize upon booking that our bathroom was not en suite (am sure this was our fault for not reading details). Not a problem at all, as bathrooms were not shared and were spotlessly clean. Just worth noting for guests that value an en-suite bathroom to double-check which room you have chosen since not all of them have this.

Fabulous!

Sadly just a one night stay, would have loved to spend at least one more night at this lovely place. Excellent knowledgeable, warm and welcoming hosts. Martin and Melanie are perfect hosts, so welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend the breakfast!
