We were planning to go to Babington House in Somerset, but decided to try somewhere different for a change. The place is cosy and the bar area was inviting. You get complementary cake at 4pm and then wine at 5pm. The place did feel a little bit like an old peoples home. it was very quiet and calm, which was nice, but it was missing any kind of buzz or vibe in the evening. I wonder whether it is more lively at the weekends? Food in the restaurant was AMAZING, lots of interesting menu options for the adventurous diner. The breakfast was original and delicious. From the outside, the rooms reminded us of a motel from one of those American road movies. Inside they were nicely decorated, with a roll top bath, comfortable bed and access to private (ish) outside space. We both had massages with Ruth, who clearly knew what she was doing. Just as good as the Babington Cowshed massages. Just a shame the spa area couldn't be a bit bigger so we could have massages at the same time. it was a fun experience, and had something unique about it.

A beautiful hotel A wonderfully comfortable hotel with a team of staff who couldn’t do enough for us. Lovely to sit around the fireplace and relax for our anniversary treat and the luxury garden room was super comfortable.

Nice hotel but very disappointing choice of expensive food. Only 4 main courses, including one vegetarian which contained an unhealthy cream sauce. The only roast on a Sunday was quail. I had cod and chips (no peas) for £22.00! Not good enough for the event we were planning.

We recently stayed at The Gallivant to celebrate my birthday and opted for the 30 Under 30 package, which offers incredible value for money. Our stay included the full Gallivant experience—dinner, wine, an evening tipple, breakfast, and even a morning yoga class. From start to finish, it was nothing short of exceptional. As it was a special occasion, we were delighted to find that our room had been upgraded to a beautiful garden room with its own private outdoor space. The room was stunning, and the bed was one of the comfiest I’ve ever slept in. A lovely gesture from the team. The little touches really made our stay memorable. Happy hour on oysters was such a treat, the cocktails were spectacular, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel special. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet luxurious. Honestly, there are no cons to mention. The Gallivant absolutely deserves all the recognition it’s received. We left feeling completely refreshed and can’t wait to return. I am gutted that I have left it this long to write my review as I’ve forgotten the staff names - but from the minute we checked in to departure we were so well looked after.
