Farthings Country House Hotel & Restaurant Tunton

Three great things about this hotel. The place is lovely - the decor, the sense of history. The people are lovely and very professional. The food is excellent - the best in the area by far. Only downside is somewhat dodgy wifi, but the rest more than makes up for it.

Used as an overnight pitstop heading west (about 5 miles off both m5 and A303 ) and really good find Very nice room and excellent dinner. We were chasing clock and missed last orders but they were happy to take order over phone. Equally we had to leave before official stat of breakfast but happy to have bacon sandwiches ready to go ( no takeaway cups so take your own!)

To celebrate my ninetieth birthday my daughters decided that we should have a family gathering and chose The Farthings for our party of 23 including 7 great grandchildren. They could not have made a better choice. Our welcome on arrival quickly put us at ease with full guidance regarding the facilities of the hotel including the garden with its full range of plants including the vegetable plot and numerous fruit trees. The peacocks, guinea fowl and ducks proved to be of great interest to the children. Overall we found the catering to be of a very high standard with home made preserves as well as the home made cakes etc provided for the afternoon tea party. The rooms were found to be spacious , spotlessly clean and furnished to a good standard. Above all we found the general service to be of a high standard with our needs anticipated before we could ask.
