Yalbury Cottage

With the exception, perhaps of a small hotel in Mendoza, Argentina, I find it hard to recall a hotel stay I have anjoyed as much as that I spent recently at Yalbury Cottage. Welcomed oin pur first visit as if we were old friends, we were shown to a gorgeous, generously sized room; the bed was a joy to sink into and there was - so rare, now - a bath to luxuriate in. The welcome continued as we took dinner (which I have reviewed seperately) and over a splendid breakfast the next morning. The dinner, B&B rate seemed to us to be an absolute bargain. Given that we were here on a wet day in November I could only imagine how great it must be to stay here in the height of spring or summer. A particular mention to the hostess and the delightful receptionist, both of whom exemplified eveything that is good about the UK hospitality industry - but now, sadly, what one always finds.

Beautiful old cottage with spacious and well appointed rooms , lovely gardens with outdoor seating area and a great lounge for pre dinner drinks. The food though was awesome , the best I've had for a very long time and service was exceptional . Reasonably priced and extensive drinks menu , a truly memorable stay .

This quirky and unique cottage is the most delightful hotel. The rooms are cosy & comfortable. To say the owners & staff are incredibly welcoming & hospitable is an understatement - absolutely nothing is too much trouble. However, the star of the show is the food - innovative & sublime - a gourmet experience!

We booked a dinner bed and breakfast package. So warmly greeted by a lovely team including the owners. Nice room, simply furnished but warm and comfortable and I love the use of Naked Sprout recycled loo paper. An Incredible dinner with lovely canapés in the sitting room with drinks beforehand and a four course dinner . Very generous portions; as cheese lovers we couldn’t fit that course in! Fine dining in a cosy unpretentious setting. Breakfast is well worth the stay. Unlimited amount of whatever you choose. The smoked haddock with a creamy chive sauce is absolutely scrummy. Can’t wait to go back .

All around a great place to stay and eat! Location is wonderful, close to Thomas Hardy Cottage, and a nice walk along the River Frome. Room was great, clean and comfortable. The dinner here was awesome! And breakfast was one of the best. Clean, relaxing, and very friendly staff - highly recommend!

Just returned from Yalbury cottage. We had an amazing stay. The hosts were very welcoming. The accommodation was excellent and the breakfast was of a very high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend the cottage. It is also within walking distance of Hardy's cottage if that is of interest to you.
