"This is an amazing property………Classic somerset cottage equipped with all modern conveniences. Super quiet (well a few tractors collecting the harvest!). We all slept very well. It takes 30 mins to walk into Ilminster along a country trail past Dillington Hall for those that like a good walk. About 8 mins by car. We made day trips to the Haynes motor museum (amazing if you are a car buff…..some days they bring cars out of the museum and you can ‘poke around’ at them) and to Lyme Regis, which has...

Holiday Inn Express Exeter East by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great one night stop before flying out of Exeter airport, I believe there are fairly close bus options to get to the airport but personally opted for an uber. Nice clean rooms, air con which is not always a standard in UK hotels and exceptionally clean bathroom. Had a great nights sleep! Nice friendly bar behind reception with lots of seating and with prompt service, lots of options for drinks and felt comfortable rather than a lot of hotels these days that tend to make you feel like you are trying to have a beer in reception! Will be staying here again for future flights out of EXT."

Holiday Inn Taunton by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Room had everything we needed, fridge was great. Bed was absolutely huge and soooo comfortable! For two old foggies parking was a long walk with a heavy bag, suggest dropping passenger and bags off at reception before parking. Breakfast was abundant and tasty."
