Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Lovely stay - Andrew is such a great host and the breakfast was fantastic.
For the price, all was excellent.
Quiet, beautifully decorated room at the back of the property with a view of the church from the window. It was good to have a washhand basin in the room as the toilet was external although it was solely for my use.
Daytime parking restrictions in front of property, but not a problem if you are out all day.
Well situated, quite charming.
It was conveniently located in the town centre and close to the function I was attending. The host was welcoming, friendly and informative. My room was a small single but adequately furnished and just what I needed. Another plus was the bed was really comfy.
There was quite a strong smell of a bleach type product when I first opened the room up, but either I got used to it or it faded.
A good venue for access to Taunton
Good location and room very clean
Have stayed at Blue Mantle before. Good breakfast and nice amenities. Friendly hosts.
Nothing.
Perfect for what I wanted!
I would have liked a chest of drawers or something similar in my room as, apart from stuff that could be hung up, I lived out of my suitcase for 4 days!
Andy is an excellent host. I would definitely use the Blue Mantle again.
nothing
Breakfast was great. People were very helpful.
The property is right in the heart of Wellington, so an ideal location. As well as this, it’s extremely easy to access. You can enter with support of the hosts, or by yourself if you prefer it that way. The hosts are there to contact if you need anything. The room was extremely tidy & clean, with many amenities, including a TV, Kettle, Linens, and more. The private bathroom is another positive, with a great shower and plenty of space. You also have access to a dining room if you want to eat there, with cutlery provided. I didn’t use this myself, but it’s another useful amenity. It was the perfect place for my one night stop-over, and I’d definitely stay here again!
Excellent welcome with very good accommodation in a central town location, with easy parking and good facilities
Very central
It was a really nice stay at a super cozy hotel.
The rooms and hallways were a tad on the small side but what can you expect with a historic house that was converted.
Location and staff excellent. Clean and functional room
Nothing
Warm and welcoming hosts. Great location, stones throw from town. Bus stop outside which takes you in to Taunton. Room and bathroom were perfect. Clean, spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, get the scrambled eggs! 100% will be my stay of choice whenever I am in Somerset. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Very nice breakfast and very friendly
Fantastic staff. Lovely breakfast Beds very comfortable
A little road noise at night
Great hosts Lovely room I was able to use the dining room and borrow plate and cutlery to eat tea i had bought in the local supermarket.
Nothing
The room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The shower was lovely and bed was comfortable. The room had everything you would need for a short stay. The breakfast was very good and the owner was friendly and welcoming. Overall a very reasonable stay and positive experience.
The bathroom was next door and although it was just for me it was a pain coming between two doors for the bathroom. You need pjs or a robe neither of which I had 😆
Lovely full English
Small point. A hook in bathroom and a holder in the shower missing
Gastvrijheid. Ontbijt.
Excellent value for money, convenient location and comfortable room for solo traveller. Check in process straightforward with welcoming message and clear instructions.
Great location, lovely family run accommodation, fantastic breakfast
Room door a little difficult to open
I liked everything about the place very very nice
There was nothing I didn't like about the place
Location
Even though I knew I had booked 'an exterior corridor en-suite' to my room, it was a comfortable room.
The Blue Mantle is well situated. Just a short walk from the busy part of Wellington. There was plenty of free parking outside. The bedroom was clean.comfy and quiet. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I've stayed in 2 other places in Wellington and the Blue Mantle is my favourite.
Excellent location , easy to find comfortable and very clean . Lots of information about the area available in the room and some very welcoming touches (Alexa in your room for lights etc)

Friendly good location
Warm hospitality and great value
Traffic noise if window open
Friendly host, clean rooms. Amazing location
Everything was perfect
I came to Wellington for a friend's event. I chose the Blue Mantle Guesthouse. A double room with ensuite bathroom with a shower. The room itself was very clean as well as the bathroom. Tea and coffee available to use with a kettle and a TV that was perfectly working. I left the big quilt/ duvet aside as it was very hot. I used only the duvet sheet. I stayed only one night. The next day, I had a full nutritious breakfast that satisfied me for the day. I fully recommend to anyone the BM Guesthouse ( Blue Mantle)
I was not too sure to sure about the step to go up the bathroom as I was physically struggling by using my left leg with a sciatica but I managed it.
Lovely family-run guesthouse on the Wellington High Street.
Andrew is an excellent host, very helpful. I stayed when it was very hot and was able to sleep well.
Nothing that I recall
Breakfast was very nice, all local ingredients. This is a nice little run family business. Internet is good. Andrew who runs the place is very nice and very accomodating.
gentillesse de Andrew, très bon petit déjeuner et excellente situation
Met by the owner, very pleasant. It was a one night stop on our way to Cornwall
The room was a bit on the small side. And bathroom was a little cramped.
Great location, lovely couple running the blue mantle, great breakfast. Nearby parkjng.
It was a heat wave and room was hot, but lovely aircon in breakfast room.
Exactly what we needed, clean and comfortable, central location with parking right outside. Great comms for late night check in. Disappointed not to have breakfast but the ‘booking a time slot’ system only left super early times which didn’t suit us after a late night at work.
The breakfast booking system!
This small space was so well suited for me. They laid it out so efficiently and thoughtful that I could imagine spending many nights there, though as I was passing through, I spent only one. The breakfast was great! The owner was extremely nice and responsive. I was able to park right out front. Very clean and bed was VERY comfy! Quiet spot and I didn’t hear a thing all night even with the generous window open.
All was perfect!
Great location Andrew is very friendly and personable Really enjoyed our stay Thank you 🙏
Shower is tiny in Room 1 with a big step to enter the en suite. Not an issue for us but it could be for others
Great location for the centre of the town. Super subfunctions at the local school. Friendly convenient access in and out of the front door. Great breakfast.
Nothing
Very warm welcome from the host. Comfortable room and excellent full English breakfast.
No issues.
Location. Comfiort

Great host, clean room and bathroom. Easy to park.
Everything was fine

Ideal location in town. Comfortable bed. Lovely breakfast and friendly owners.
Lovely people, very comfortable. Great breakfast.
As a solo Traveler going for a single room with an external bathroom exclusive for your use was really nice. Well equipped. Having chronic back pain and slipped disk a comfortable bed is a must, and the bed was nice. No pain after sleeping As I was out late most days it was nice to have a code for the door ! Parking is a little further down the road, just make sure you have coin cash to pay at the parking meters ! £3.2 for a whole day!

It's a lovely guesthouse, perfect location, easy access, friendly hosts and the building has been restored to a high standard. good breakfast too.
couldn't fault it, went for the cheap single romcfor a quick stopover , external bathroom but exclusive use and really big with a good shower.. Super comfy bed, easy to find and park and a great location

Spotlessly clean. Comfortable rooms. Modern, updated bath room. Hosts were kind, friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend this place.
A small chair in the room would have been handy.
The room was nice and peaceful
Nice decor, clean, cosy and comfy, with all the facilities I needed. PLUS: the bonus was a very good breakfast.
Everything was perfect.

Love the property, run by lovely hosts and the breakfast was gorgeous!
Could do with better double glazing to bring down the road noise
Welcoming, clean, good value for money and a very good position for Wellington.
Quiet, clean, and situated in a lovely town
Towel rail would have been useful.
Arrived late but good instructions to enter. Very good breakfast freshly cooked with local ingredients
Noisy fan in shower, worried I would wake up guests and owner’s family
Family-run and cared for house - great location, parking nearby free or outside after 4.30pm til 8am. Room 7 has a desk, so ideal for working. Lovely welcome, simple access info and WiFI easy to allow for meetings. Nice and quiet, sink in room a nice old fashioned touch. Very good value and safe for solo female travellers. A pint in the Vintage up the road is a good plan - friendly and nice ale. I didn't eat breakfast but the dining room looked homely and all would be made in the family kitchen - only had to leave early so can't comment.
Friendly gent gave guidance, good location, option of breakfast, hot shower!
Super friendly and cheerful owner. My room was lovely with a comfortable bed and nice and warm with a very high quality bathroom. It's a very homely guesthouse and I'll definitely book again.
Owners were very friendly, excellent breakfast. All the amenities were clean and tidy.
Property was a little tired in places.
Friendly welcome, very comfy bed, with added bonus of an electric blanket. Having Alexa turn off my lights without having to get out of bed was an added bonus 😁

Return visit after about 7 years. Liked it back then and like it now. Great value and just unfussily comfortable. Its a half way meet for me and an old friend. He is very fussy and no complaints from him. Breakfast is 8 quid and you expect something simple for that but it was very very good
TV channels were a little bit tricky - probably showing my age.
Breakfast, friendliness of staff, cleanliness and quality of room were all beyond satisfactory. I would HIGHLY recommend The Blue Mantle for a night's stay if you're in the Wellington/Taunton area. 10/10!

Location was great for our purposes. Though the B&B doesn't have dedicated car parking, this was easy and free - just had to make sure to move the car in the morning before the restrictions apply.
Our room was on the road-side, and we found the road noise at night quite loud, and could hear people talking/shouting as they walked up the road. Obviously not the fault of the B&B though.
Lovely property, all the facilities you need plus the extras that make all the difference 😊. It is welcoming (the building and staff), the room was so clean and had coat hangers, hair dryer, a blanket to snuggle in on the bed - just the extra touches to make it special. The welcome pack had lots of helpful and interesting information about the property and the area. Travelling alone, this really helped.
There was honestly nothing not to like
The breakfast was lovely and value for money
There wasn't anything we didn't like
The communication and organisation was perfect from giving us the door code if we were going to be late arriving, to parking suggestions. The beds are extremely comfortable and you cannot fault the cleanliness. My son loved the alexa being able to turn the lights on/off! The breakfast was also delicious, particularly the coffee and the orange juice.
We were a bit hot (nothing the owners could do as they provide a fan), and road was a bit busy so noisy with window open (again, nothing the owners can do as grade 2 listed building).
Clean and in centre of Wellington. For us very convenient as, luckily, only a one night stay visiting friends. We arrived late, do not take breakfast so little contact with hosts.
Stayed in Room 5, looked out onto road but not too noisy. Room small, twin beds, slept well, no sitting space only the beds. To use toilet had to sit at 90 degrees to loo then shuffle round to straighten with knees almost against wall. High Ten inch step into/out of shower room difficult for anyone with mobility problems
The location was very good. Very central to the main high street, cafe & shops etc
A little disappointed with the interior of the property. Yes I appreciate its an old property but a little more care was needed when decorating etc
The breakfast was excellent. The welcome and overall friendliness and professionalism of the owners far exceeded my expectation. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable. I couldn't hear any other guests or outside noise despite its location being on a main road.
A mirror in the bedroom that was at my height, I used the one in the hall opposite my bedroom.
amazing breakfast great location great staff very comfortable rooms

Lovely warm and comfortable room and a very pleasant welcome from the owner

Very nice property in great location for local drinks and food. Best pub around few doors along. Nice owners, clean and comfortable. Parking (even for my large van) was not problem.
Great B&B, very friendly, cosy, has everything you need and on street parking outside. Lovely breakfast.
Excellent stay, excellent breakfast and welcoming hosts. I look forward to returning, thanks
Really clean, easy check in and out, sheets and towels smelt amazing!
Maybe somewhere to hang the towels
Breakfast was yummy. Owner very friendly.
bedside table not beside the bed
Breakfast perfection
Easy to find with outside parking and a close by car park for daytime parking. Friendly, helpful staff on hand with information.
Lovely property but quite “compact” with narrow steep stairs, small twin room, tiny shower room up a step, tiny basin so it was hard not to splash water onto the floor, small shower but nice hot water and easy shower head.
Very friendly and informative host. Room had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.
Some clothes pegs and a small shelf in the bathroom for wash bag and spectacles would help
