From the friendly staff on arrival to the outstanding food, everything from this stay exceeded my expectations.
The building is incredibly charming and then when you go into the rear garden you’re welcomed by a flock of feathered friends.
The restaurant served me one of the nicest meals I have had in a long time, partnered with a local beer too.

Well not so much ilminster itself as a head to place but the area in General has much to offer and not just Meusems or Churches
We visited Cheddar Gorge and other nearbye Towns and seaside Villages, visiting some Great Brocant's where it's hard to say no to that additional piece of clutter.

We chose Ilminster as it was fairly close to the M5 but not too far from Lyme Regis, where we were visiting the following day. We didn't spend time in Ilminster, just used the hotel as a overnight stop, but it looked characterful and was a great location to other attractions, including Lyme Regis.

Lovely central location so you can go to Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Sidmouth, Taunton and Wells in approximately an hour or under. Ilminster is a small town, with a large Tesco and other small shops for all you needs. Friendly locals and plenty of places to visit for all the family. Highly recommended for a perfect getaway.

Love the the family run cafe and shops the art centre and cafe a well worth a visit Ilminster is a good location to visit Bath,Bristol,and the surrounding area plus you are only 30mins away from Lyme Regis
We enjoyed every minute in this well appointed B&B. The gardens are lovely, and our room on the ground floor was unique and very comfortable. It included a king size bed and a free standing bath tub and separate shower. There is a hot tub on the property and outdoor areas to relax. The owner prepares an amazing breakfast to order. This is one of the nicest places we have stayed during our travels.
I liked my room which was very comfortable and had a large television and good wifi. The breakfast was excellent and the dinner the night before was first class.The dining room was warm and cosy and Christmassy. The service from the staff was great. I believe that the view from the hotel is beautiful and it is close to Ilminster which is a delightful little town.
Lovely location and excellent host. Had breakfast and evening meals and food and service were very good .
Room had large comfortable bed and facilities were very good with both bath and separate shower .
What more can we say .. would recommend The Flying Fish for anyone who wants a good value stay in lovely south Somerset countryside.
It's great to have the 'lounge' area. Family can come and visit anytime. The breakfast is fine and if you wanted a ready meal, there is a microwave. The hosts are lovely! Great place for a couple of nights. The bathroom is lovely, great shower! Quiet and cosy and warm, even in the winter. Space to park etc.
Fantastic room, spotlessly clean, bed big enough for at least 3 people.
Fantastic views across Somerset countryside.
Hosts were very pleasant and friendly as where their staff, food was excellent we had evening meal and breakfast . Will definitely book this accommodation again when visiting area
Contrasting with "upmarket" chain hotels I've stayed in recently it was great - the TV was an ACTUAL smart TV which was NOT the case in a Voco or a holiday Inn express. The breakfast was excellent and the restaurant belonging to the property serves first class cuisine and reasonably priced
Really nice stay at this lovely hotel.
Lots of free parking and good links to the motorway.
My room was large clean and very comfortable and the walk in shower was a great addition.
Evening meal was excellent so was the breakfast.
A very nice stay indeed.
Great hotel/pub. Staff were very welcoming as soon as we arrived. Food was exceptional. Service was faultless. Bedroom and shower were superb.
Great location in a lovey village which is conveniently located close to road network.
Lovely converted country cider barn. Nicely kitted out in all of the living areas with lots of kitchen stuff and plush cushions. Host is nice and friendly. Cute baby chicks in outbuilding!!
Lots of space with all the facilities, very comfortable bed and plenty food in the fridge. Good location for travelling around Somerset and close to Ilminster.
