Nice hotel for rural long weekend
Wiveliscombe is a small town a few miles west of Taunton with a distinctly rural feel. The hotel is in the centre and has its own car park. The building is old and certainly characterful.
Our room was at the back, reached by a bit of a maze of stairs and passages (no lift but not a problem for us) and was clean, warm and well maintained. The bed seemed slightly hard. Both the room and en suite were a good size and the shower worked well.
Breakfast was a continental buffet with a reasonable variety of items on offer.
We had dinner in the hotel restaurant two nights. Food quality was very good but menu was limited. There is a pub over the road (the Bear) which serves food but we did not try it.
I liked the bar which served local ciders and beers.
Staff were pleasant and helpful.
We rode on the West Somerset (steam) railway, their Bishops Lydeard station is about a quarter of an hour’s easy drive away.
The White Hart is a nice alternative to chain hotels in the Taunton area
