The Lynch Country House

As another reviewer states: 'a home away from home' and I would reiterate that but what a home and such a beautiful house as well. It's not often you get the opportunity to have a full 360 degree view of Somerset through a lantern window, from the top of the stairs, as well! Lynn and Heidi provided a great welcome and breakfast, and of course, not to forget the unforgettable and remarkable host and owner of the hotel.

Beautiful property and grounds located in a perfect little town. The property and grounds were so relaxing, we will most certainly return. The room we stayed in was splendid with all items of furniture true to the Georgian period that the house was built.

I stayed here for one night but wished it had been longer. The charming proprietor (Roy Copeland, a notable jazz musician) invited me for tea in his office/study when I arrived slightly before check-in time. The delightful manageress Lynne was keen to ensure a warm welcome and that everything I needed was available to me. This is not just a Bed and Breakfast though, it is Roy Copeland’s home and I was made to feel like a valued house guest rather than a paying customer. My room, the Somerton, was a generous sized dual aspect room, with both aspects looking out onto the beautifully curated and tended (2 acres plus rill and pond) gardens. The huge bathroom had everything one could need, with a large bath and drenching shower, good quality towels, robes, facecloths and toiletries. The bed linen and mattress were of the highest quality and I slept soundly, awaking to birdsong and utter peace. Breakfast (I ordered the night before) offered a wide range to satisfy healthy (fruit, yoghurt etc.) and hungry (full breakfast) guests. I had the full English breakfast which was perfectly cooked with the highest quality ingredients. Mr. Copeland was busily doing a crossword over breakfast when I came into the spacious breakfast room (a piano in the corner hinted of musical soirées) and it underpinned the sense that I was a guest not a customer. If you are going to Somerset, do stay here - it is a delight from the moment you set foot onto the grounds and whenever you leave, it will be too soon.

Going to the Lynch is like going into someone’s home but not just any home . The house is grand and set in lovely mature gardens. We were welcomed by Lynne who runs the Lynch and we didn’t want for anything. She was extremely friendly and helpful and made our stay extremely enjoyable. The icing on the cake was to meet the wonderful owner. A truly amazing gentleman. Great place to stay. Thank you so much.

Amazing overnight experince and would love to go back again as soon as possible. The atmosphere is perfect for an intimate overnight experience in a four poster bed with luxurious bathroom with views over the gardens and fluffy towelling robe. The breakfast was cooked to order and absolutely delicious with an extra pot of tea.

Room was immaculate with everything to the highest standard. The house was a genuine pleasure to stay at: the decor inside was wonderful and the garden a pleasure to stroll around. Finally, the staff were very professional and welcoming. Thank you for a memorable stay.
