perfect get away!
We only stayed one night but would have stayed longer. Beautiful farm house, warm and cosy. Met with tea and cake on arrival and nothing was too much bother. Dinner booked, wonderful breakfast and lovely room. Very clean and felt at home but well looked after. Got a bath shower which was a luxury with proper complimentary essentials. Would recommend without a doubt. Thanks Mike for a brilliant stay!

The accomodation was quite far from Cheddar and we couldnt find it with our GPS just with our clever phone. Acc. is very nice and clean, breakfast was absolutley enough for us.
If I would like to escape from busy city I would like to go back. Nobody will find me :)

This is a lovely B&B and our first, we usually stay in hotels. But the friendly reception we got from Mike has changed our minds to trying more B&Bs. The bedroom is beautifully decorated with tea and coffee facilities and the bed was soft and comfortable. The bathroom is modern with everything you need. Mike's breakfast would put some hotels to shame. There was everything you could possibly want and plenty of it. Mike gave us a good run down of places to visit close by, so we will definitely be back for a longer visit next time.

Excellent All-Round Experience At Hillview Farm
Apart from being a perfect base to explore the Cheddar Gorge and other Somerset beauty spots, this accommodation is first class in every sense. The welcome was friendly, including a cup of tea and lovely cake on arrival. The room was clean and spacious; the breakfast was excellent.
What really made it special is that when our car broke down, Mike, the proprietor, came to where we were stranded, ferried my wife to the toilet, dropped us at our restaurant then picked us up after the meal, and even offered to take us back to our car the next day - although a lovely couple from Staffordshire, also staying there, dropped us off instead.
Highly, highly recommended.

Lovely stay
Really this is B and B accommodation as it should be.
Beautiful building, spotless well appointed rooms, grand breakfast to set you up for the day and an true gentlemen of an owner who makes you feel more like visiting friends than paying guests.
A little out of the way which makes for a peaceful stay,( I think even the cows had been told to not moo too loud), yet within easy reach of all the tourist attractions of the area.
This one gets a big 9/10 from me, not getting 10/10 because there must be something to knock but I'm damned if I can find it.

A beautiful country break
Thamk you for an enjoyable stay in the English countryside.
The road to Ashton was a windy lane, typical of the British countryside, where we immediately knew we would have a relaxing stay - here I would recommend either using a satnav or a route planner website to make sure of the correct turns but you soon get to know the local landmarks.
We turned up later than expected, and the owner waited for us to arrive before going out himself. He showed us to our room and chatted to us about what we wanted for breakfast as if he ws in no hurry to leave. We were then left alone to settle in which we found very pleasing as in some places welcomes are very overwhelming.
The room was very clean and a good size, however the bathroom was quite compact but again very clean and contained all you would expect. The room overlooked the farm, where we had a hill side view, and found the room peaceful and clutter free. In the morning we were treated to a large breakfast with a choice of cereals, fruit, juices, and a cooked course. Being vegetarian the choice was better than at many places we have stayed. My partner eats meat and found both the sausages and bacon cooked well. It kept us both going until the afternoon, and we felt that Hill view was very good value for money.
I would recommend a stay for a quiet retreat, or a stop off as we did, on the way to Cornwall.

Hillview Farm B&B
A great place to stay! My arrangements changed part-way through my journey, so I was forced to reschedule my arrival time. None of this was a problem to Mike though, who even phoned me en-route to give live directions. To top it all off we were even given a glass of wine on arrival as by then the pubs were all closed and I really fancied a nightcap!
The accomodation is really clean and of a high standard. I only stayed one night as I was visiting family nearby but the area is truly lovely. Our room had all the usual facilities, excellent bed and bathroom. Cracking cooked breakfast the following morning, so all in all a great stay.
Really can't think of any negatives to tell you about, the location itself seemed a bit remote so i'm unsure what is in walking distance (pubs, restaurants etc) however this didn't concern us at all due to the nature of our stay.
Highly recommended, I can honestly say you can stay here with confidence.

Hillview Retreat
I had been tempted by Farmhouse accommodation whenever looking for somewhere to stay whilst exploring the UK before, but something inside was stopping me. Maybe at the time I needed to not be so far away from what I was used to everyday. But after staying at Hillview I knew I was ready. This Farmhouse B&B was a delight of lovely countryside surroundings, a spotlessly clean room, a very nice host who made us feel very relaxed and at home, and a top drawer traditional English Breakfast. I would definately recommend it for a short stay, as it is a very pleasant drive to Cheddar Gorge (great little Gem to visit) and numerous villages that have fine Pubs with Excellent Food. A Special mention must go to our Bed as it was ultra comfortable. Best i've ever slept away from home on, and, we did sleep well. I can really only agree what many others have already said on this site that is so attractive about Hillview farm. Go on. Give it a go. you won't regret it!

Weekend escape
Last minute escape and read the previous reviews, which had 100 % positive feed back and this made us to go ahead with Mike's acomodation. The result? Very pleasant indeed. Hillview farm is very well maintained and kept very neat & tidy. The bathroom was spacious and very comfortable to use. The bed linen was made of silk, I believe and really snuggly. Our 4 year old enjoyed sleeping in it on her own. The breakfast was extremely good. We had a choice of melon or grapefruit to start with (kiwi on top), then English or continental style breakfast. A bonus, was that we were invited to see a newborn calf (born the night before), which made our daughter's day. Mike told us how he developed the farm and B&B with Margaret after purchasing the run down property and how the farm house was done up, which all adds to the character of the place and Mike's warm welcoming character. And also his recomended pub "The Lamb Inn" was excellent! The landlord is extremely friendly and the pub has a really friendly atmosphere. Definetly recommend it.

The scores I have given are for an old farmhouse and is what I would expect to score all similar properties. The scores reflect the homeliness, to have given higher scores would have detracted from this. Therefore I would not hesitate to recommend this highly enough for those wanting a traditional rural break.

Under-floor heating in the bedroom and bathroom was an added bonus. The kitchen itself was self contained and you can easily spend a week's holiday with the fact there is a washing machine, microwave, oven and toaster to hand. No need to bring any utensils or crockery because these are all to hand as well. All the decor throughout the accommodation was very tasteful and pleasing to the eye. Beautiful views from outside the barn with a patio table and chairs. The quality of food cooked was superb with locally grown produces. A good selection of cereals, home made jams & marmalades.

We had a wonderful room in the barn conversion and our dog was welcome. Mike & Margaret are excellent hosts and cook a very tasty breakfast. The surrounding countryside is beautiful. We plan to visit again.

Very nice room (family room in converted barn). Excellent breakfast with local produce. Additional (and unexpected) bonus of kitchen facilities. 2-year old friendly.

We had a wonderful 5 days at Hillview, the room was lovley and all the kitchen facilities a real bonus, especially the washing machine which meant not going home with a case full of dirty laundry!

Lovely people - a real home from home. Delicious breakfasts. Very child friendly. Ideal base to explore Cheddar and Wells.

This bed and breakfast is completely lost in the campaigne. It has been very painful to find it, even with a detailed map.
So, it would be easier to find it with :
- markings bigger at the entrance of the bed and breakfast
- road signs at some of the intersections leading at the b&b.

Most excellent bed and breakfast in all respects. From the warm welcome to the super comfy bed, the delightful aspect of the barn conversion and fantastic breakfast. Stay without hesitation. We found it a little tricky to find, however we had left the directions behind! Thank goodness for sat-navs. Many thanks.

Both myself and my wife immediately thought we were family friends as we were made so welcome, although we were left alone to enjoy the excellent barn conversion and the surrounding area. Highly recommend.

Truly excellent accommodation and service. Quiet friendly small farm location suitable to accommodate children as well as the more mature. Good facilities for the disabled. We will certainly have a return visit or visits.

A delightful stay in a lovely part of the country. When using again we would probably ask for one of the larger rooms as the double room we had was rather cramped (albeit the en-suite wet-room was very spacious). Breakfast was wonderful and the hosts were friendly and very helpful with local knowledge. A lovely quiet location.

The Barn conversion we stayed in was perfect. I am a cleaner in a hotel in Norfolk and though I tried not to I looked at Hillview through a cleaners eye, I couldn't fault it at all. Mr. Nicholls was the perfect host and the breakfast was scrummy and he was very attentive asking if we were ok and if we wanted anything else. The surroundings were picture postcard too. What else can i say? Well u must visit if u can. Full marks to it.

We stayed as a family with my 11 year old grandson. The farm is in a beautiful position with lovely views across the countryside. We were made very welcome by the owners, nothing was too much trouble. Lovely country style bedroom spotlessly clean. Best breakfast ever with locally produced food. Thoroughly enjoyable stay will definitely return and recommend to friends and colleagues.

We stayed in the double room in the barn conversion. We were greeted with tea and home-made cake - delicious and unexpected! Our double room with en-suite wet room was spotlessly clean and furnished to an extremely high standard, with towels/shampoo and shower gel provided, as well as tea/coffee making facilities, hairdryer, and TV. The barn had 2 bedrooms off of the main living/dining/kitchen area, so it would be perfect for a family group holiday as it had a well equipped kitchen - home from home. The breakfast (served in the main farmhouse) used local produce and was very tasty. The bed was very comfy - no lumpy mattresses ! We were given the name of a newly opened restaurant in Wedmore called 'The Dining Room' which is also to be recommended. Margaret & Mike were very friendly and approachable. This B&B deserves its recent 4-star rating and I would certainly recommend it !
