Reviews about The Old Bookshop
“Excellent choice for breakfast. Very helpful, friendly and willing hosts.”
“Mandi and Ivan were the perfect hosts; nothing was too much trouble. We were greeted on arrival with tea and cake in their beautiful garden, and from that point on we knew our stay would be wonderful. The Old Book Shop is an interesting building with plenty of historic features. We had the use of a large and comfy residents' lounge (including several Sky TV channels -films and drama a particular favourite-, games, dvds and plenty of books). Ivan and Mandi are interested in their local history, so there were plenty of books on Williton and the surrounding areas. Our bedroom was lovely and spotlessly clean, as was the adjoining bathroom. All necessary COVID precautions were in place, and we felt very safe. A coffee machine and bathrobes were welcome extras. Breakfast was fantastic, with a wide choice of cereals, a great fresh fruit salad, and a range of cooked dishes. As well as the normal 'full English', omelettes, french toast and pancakes are among the options available. Special diets can be catered for. Williton is a great location from which to explore the beautiful Somerset countryside, as well as the coast: the West Somerset (heritage) Railway stops nearby. There are plenty of great pubs and restaurants within a short distance for lunches and evening meals. All of this made for a great stay; however, what really made our stay exceptional was our hosts. Mandi and Ivan are just lovely! We hope to come back soon :-)”
“Mandy and Ivan were very nice and welcoming. They are pretty knowledgeable of the area and gave good advice on what to go see. The breakfast was immaculate. Served hot and on time every morning. There was ample room to rest and relax on the property with a sizable garden and living room for the guests. The place itself has an interesting history and is full of character.”
“Mandy and Ivan were very welcoming, friendly and informative about the area. Their home is very quaint and quirky ,cozy and warm. Breakfasts were excellent with a lovely variety. Highly recommend this B&B.”
“Fantastic hosts. Amanda made a super breakfast, just wished we could eat more. The room was excellent.”
