my partner and i stayed at the spread eagle inn for 2 nights, and the lovely staff made our experience even better. our family room was spacious and very comfortable, especially the bed! the coffee machine was a delightful surprise, but we did have to buy extra pods after the few left. it’s also right next to stourhead, making visits easy.

would recommend

The atmosphere was fantastic, with an open fire in the bar and a really comfortable, spacious room that felt like it was a home away from home.

The location couldn't be more convenient for exploring nearby gardens, only 50 meters down the road. The layout of the facilities gives a traditional charm, ideal for those looking for a quaint base during their visit.

Breakfast options came with minimal choices and the warm food situation left more to be desired. Our unit had plumbing issues, taking ages to get even a dribble of hot water, not ideal after a long day. Creaky floorboards kept reminding us we weren't alone, with sounds from neighboring rooms echoing throughout the night. Access can be a challenge, particularly when the entrance is flooded and requires some athleticism to navigate. the lack of staff presence after hours can feel unsettling used to more attentive service.

Recommend for a whistle-stop

Lovely staff, lovely breakfast, who were very friendly and attentive, with Harmony being particularly welcoming and helpful during our stay, while enjoying a comfy and cozy family room that overlooked the picturesque courtyard, making our visit memorable.

No room for improvement.

The location was perfect for exploring the gardens, and we enjoyed the charming decor. We had a lovely dinner that was delicious, nice atmosphere!

The Spread Eagle Inn was a fantastic place to stay! The room was spacious with a cozy corner that was perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring Stourhead. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home, always ready to help. We also loved the delicious full English breakfast that fueled our adventures for the day.

spacious but lacking breakfast

The family room was incredibly spacious with a lovely view. The check-in process was quick, giving us more time to enjoy our evening.

I was disappointed to miss breakfast due to fatigue.

we had a great time at the spread eagle inn! the rooms were super clean, comfy, and had a nice character. the staff was friendly and really made us feel at home. breakfast was decent too, especially the full english! also, the location was perfect since we wanted to explore stourhead's gardens.

one major thing was the loud cistern in the bathroom and some room maintenance issues. also, we were frustrated with the service when we had to settle our bill at the bar and it took a bit long.

Location is a win!

We had a decent stay, the location was awesome for exploring Stourton. Some staff were super nice, especially the cleaning lady, but one guy was kind of rude. The bathrooms really need updating, and the food was hit or miss. The breakfast was tasty, though! Overall a mixed experience.

The Spread Eagle Inn offers a fantastic location next to Stourhead Gardens, allowing for easy access to the beautiful grounds. The staff provided attentive service, efficiently assisting with my needs during my stay. The breakfast featured a delicious full English spread, perfect to kickstart the day for business. My room was comfortable and quiet, ideal for a restful evening after work discussions.

The decor needs updating.

Had a great time with friends! We enjoyed cycling nearby and explored the beautiful gardens right next door. The staff were super friendly and made us feel at home. Just a heads up, the wifi can be a bit spotty. it was a relaxing stay, and I highly recommend it for a group getaway!

One downside was the lack of variety in the breakfast options. A few more choices would have been nice.

This place suits me perfectly, offering free wi-fi, a lovely restaurant, and a flat-screen TV in the room. I'll always remember how the staff kindly returned my forgotten hairbrush. Highly recommend for your city break!

The moment I arrived, the charm of the Spread Eagle Inn was palpable. Clean, comfortable room with lovely decor welcomed me. Staff greeted me with genuine warmth, making check-in feel effortless. The reserved parking was a practical benefit amidst the busy surroundings. Enjoyed a plentiful breakfast each morning that hit the spot, although I wished there were more options like yogurt and berries instead of just syrup on my pancakes. The location is fantastic for exploring Stourhead gardens, with easy access for strolling around the estate, especially with the benefit of out-of-hours garden entry. the experience took a hit with some service inconsistencies. My room didn’t get cleaned daily unless I asked for it, which felt odd. I also had to remind staff for new tea supplies and breakfast items like brown sauce not being available on one occasion. The mobile phone reception was poor, which was a mixed bag—great for peace but not ideal for emergencies. Despite those hiccups, the welcoming nature of the staff made a significant positive impact on my stay. I'd return for the relaxed atmosphere and beautiful setting, but I hope they can address the service issues.

wonderful staff and a beautiful celeriac dish made our visit unforgettable

Exceptional service, delicious food, and lovely ambiance.
