Staying at the Oak House was a mix of delights. The rooms, though somewhat dated, were large and comfortable. The service was top-notch with a warm and welcoming team. The location was picturesque, near Cheddar Gorge and a charming village, albeit close to a noisy church bell. The dining experience offered good choices but was a bit pricey. Overall, a cozy stay with minor hiccups.

The hotel is in a charming location right in the square of Axbridge, a town with rich historical significance. The service was fairly accommodating but had some communication challenges. The dining experience was top-notch with a wide and delicious menu selection. The rooms, although clean, lack some essentials and feel a bit neglected.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was wonderful, steeped in history and near beautiful attractions, but the room I was given was quite noisy being right above the outdoor seating area. The service was efficient, although sometimes a bit slow to get attention. The dining experience was convenient but lacked variety in breakfast choices.

Rooms

5.0

The room I had was directly overhead the outside seating area, making it quite noisy, especially with the window open on warm evenings. It was small with a pokey bathroom and lacked proper storage space. Additionally, there was no heating available despite a chilly day, which was a bit uncomfortable.

Service

The staff had to provide a fan to help lower the room temperature, which was appreciated. They were efficient, welcoming, and helpful, although getting immediate attention could be a bit challenging at times.
