Both Mike and Marg made us feel so welcome on our arrival with a nice cup of coffee and a slice of home made fruit cake which was excellent. Our room which we stayed in was in the converted barn over looking fields, was absolutely fab, very clean and very comfortable.
Breakfast was excellent and very filling (it was all home produced).
Our stay for the whole weekend was very peaceful and relaxing and would most definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get away from it all. I would like to say a big thank you to both Mike and Marg.

This was a little gem of a find. Everything about the converted barn was fantastic and given such a nice warm welcome and kind hospitality. 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 didn't want to leave and will definitely be going back for a longer stay.

The accommodation is immaculate and spotlessly clean, which was great for us as we have a baby who is crawling all over the floor. The decor has been done to a high standard and it is a very comfortable place to stay. It is set in countryside surroundings, so there was a lovely view from the room. We were given a very warm and sincere welcome on arrival. It is a shame we were only staying for one night.

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!

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 !
