I have recently returned from a two night stay at Spears Cross and have nothing but praise for this lovely B&B. The hosts Cliff and Tricia were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay, from giving advice on places to visit to recommendations for local restaurants. We were welcomed with tea/coffee and homemade cake, which, thanks to the glorious weather,... More

Super hospitality by Cliff and Tricia. Very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are spotless. I was totally pleased with the excellent food especially the porridge which is made with locally made flour!! I stayed 2 nights but could easily have stayed longer. Thank you Pat Cuthbert

We have just returned from 2 nights at this lovely B&B in a great location. The hosts Cliff and Tricia couldn't do enough for us, whether it was something simple like helping with luggage, to the more unusual request of printing off my best man speech. The building is beautiful as are the rooms. The little touches made it extra... More

I am always amazed how the standard stays so high. We have travelled here for over five years and continue to enjoy the subtle touches that our congenial hosts always offer. The cleanliness, the service the legendary breakfasts, the list is too long. We look forward to our return next spring.

Spacious room, very well equiped. Perfect position by Dunster Castle. Very helpful suggestions and booking for restaurants and walks in the area. Always ready to offer tea, coffee and cakes. If you are a light sleeper the church is quite close and chimes during the night.

We have just returned from a 3 day stay at Spears Cross. What more can one say about this marvellous B&B that has not already been said. Great rooms, wonderful breakfasts and the hosts Cliff and Tricia beyond comparison. Booking restaurants, no problem, where to visit no problem, what more could you ask for. To round off the trip Cliff... More

We first stayed here in 2007 and have returned a couple of times a year ever since. Why do we keep comimg back? Well it must be something to do with the charm and character of the building, the village location, the immaculate bedrooms and modern bathrooms, and the perfect breakfast each day. But above all it must be because... More

We have stayed at Spears Cross quite a few times and every visit has been an absolute joy. The rooms are immaculate, the breakfasts wonderful and nothing is too much trouble for Cliff & Tricia, who will help with anything from booking a restaurant to advising on local walks and what to look out for or places to visit.

We stayed for two nights in the suite and on arrival were offered coffee and cake while we settled in. The room was spotless and the bed incredibly comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was a delight and a great start to our day. Cliff reserved a table for us at a local restaurant so we had nothing to worry about... More

We found this perfect place to stay for a wedding at Dunster Castle. The bed was comfortable and with the softest white linen, the room was spacious and so beautifully laid out and full of original character, the bathroom warm and with luxury toiletries. We arrived late to a no fuss welcome then preceded to be the annoying couple that... More
