Visited the lovely Dillington House for a friend’s leaving party. Decided we’d stay overnight so we could have a couple of drinks and enjoy the event. 
Was a very well attended event and great to see many former colleagues. The buffet catering was great and catered for us vegans, the bar was well-manned by Leigh. Jo the manager made sure everyone was having a great time and had everything they needed. 
The room (room 8) in the main house overlooked the lawn and we saw a beautiful sunrise. Breakfast was great and again vegan options available.
Lovely to visit Dillington House again. Now Somerset CC have decided to close it I don’t know what it’s future will be but it’s always been a place I’ve loved to visit and I hope it will still be possible to do so again. 
Best wishes to all the hard-working Dillington House staff whatever their futures will be.

Lovely Dillington House stay

Had a amazing overnight stay at Dillington so we could attend a jazz concert on the Sunday morning.  It's a beautiful Grade II listed house set in stunning gardens and location.  The surrounding Somerset countryside is gorgeous too.  Friendly atmosphere and staff service was excellent, especially Cathy, the receptionist who gave us a very warm welcome on arrival.

We stayed in the Hyde, in fabulous complex of modern rooms a couple of minutes walk from main house.  It was great. Very spacious room with super comfy king sized bed, a huge wet room with great shower.  Quiet with regulated heat/air con.  We didn't have much of a view as we were given the last room available.  Worth asking for one with view over Somerset countryside.  

Three course meal in the wonderful dining room was great value for money and staff service was excellent.  Bar service great too.  Breakfast was served in the main house. We were given a huge choice from yoghurts, fruit, pastries to a full-on traditional cooked meal.  

Worth checking if there are any events booked for the evenings you want to stay.  There was a family celebration on the night we booked with a disco.  So we were moved from the main house to the Hyde that afternoon - so glad the receptionist picked up on this.  Thanks Cathy for your help.  You deserve Employee of the Month!

Wonderful stay in a stunning location

May I say “Thank you” to Cobey and the team for being so attentive yesterday.
Dillington House is a beautiful venue and we had
a scrumptious afternoon tea.
All of my ladies from Taunton Dean Divas W.I. had a lovely afternoon ☺️

Scrumptious afternoon tea

If I could have given Dillington ten starts I would gave done so.  My daughter and her fiance chose Dillington to host their recent wedding. The house is beautiful,  nestling in its own extensive,  well kept grounds and its appearance as a large country mansion is stunning.  The choice offered to them for the ceremony was either outside in the grounds,  or in the beautiful orangery. They chose the latter because of the unsettled weather.

The reception room was beautifully decorated,  but not overdone,  leaving room on the tables for their extra touches. We were surrounded by some historical antiques portraits on the wall,  giving the impression of dining in a grand baronial hall  

Also,  as far as wedding venues go,  the prices were very reasonable compared with other venues that had fewer facilities. 

As you enter the main house, there is a grand fireplace in the centre of the great entrance hall, that has a real log fire,  I believe,  in the winter,  as a central focus. 

Charlotte,  the wedding coordinator there,  deserves special mention. Always smiling,  always so accommodating and so pleasant,  efficient and professional,  nothing 3was too much trouble for her.  Before the wedding,  communication will was excellent and during the weekend she was always on hand.

The staff were a delight,  from the night watchman to the waiters,  from the receptionist to the domestic staff. They were hard working yet unobtrusive,  and always pleasant,  well mannered and friendly.

The food was impeccably cooked and delicious.  Breakfasts were full English with a superb choice,  the hot food hot and well cooked,  and the bread,  pastries and so on tasted if they were home made from the best ingredients.  The wedding "breakfast"  food was delicious,  of high quality,  and specially commented on very favourably by the guests. 

We stayed two nights over the weekend.  The bedroom was clean,  well furnished and very comfortable.  There were nice touches too like a decent size en suite bathroom, 
 tea,  coffee and biscuits in the rooms as well as a bottle of local spring water for each guest,  replaced daily.

Rooms are split between the main house and the mews building nearby.  Rooms there are wheelchair friendly. There is ample parking. 

It was simply a wonderful weekend 

Would I recommend Dillington as a wedding venue? Absolutely.  It was simply a lovely experience.

My Daughter's wedding venue

we attended a murder mystery dinner.  

The hotel is absolutely fantastic.  lovely roaring fire in a beautiful fireplace. Our room was excellent. 

The murder mystery was super fun. 

The staff were pleasant.  I'm surprised that they managed such a large group and the meals were still hot when they came out. Staff really were fabulous and friendly.  

I can't believe that I've never been here before.  I will certainly keep an eye out for future events

Absolutely fantastic 

Stayed here for 2 nights for a wedding. 
The check in whilst done remotely (due to another wedding) was efficient, so we were quickly in our room in the Hyde part of the complex. 
The room was spacious very clean with view over farm lands. It had a double bed (room for a bigger double bed) soft settee, dressing table etc, large wet room type bathroom excellent walk in shower. 
Disappointingly, and I know for some other guest, we could not get a drink in the bar or food, mainly because of another wedding, this despite being advertised as being available in the room book. so our meal that night was in Ilminster. 
The main house was impressive as are the grounds to stroll around, again due to another wedding restriction we could not sit and relax in any part of the main house building.
Breakfast had a good selection, and was replenished as required, staff were attentive and nothing was too much bother for them.
The wedding went well, (out side ceremony was good) staff were again excellent and attentive for all servings (outside drinks etc, and main wedding dinner) 
Food quality was good for the wedding dinner and served without fuss, the staff knew exactly who pre-ordered what which added to the experience.
All in all this should be a 4 star hotel, as it could not faulted on room cleanliness, breakfast  etc.
My only concern was the non availability of food and bar drinks for arriving guest, and we would have stayed for the Sunday roast, despite signs we were not sure it was on offer, but we could be wrong. 
Further comments - suggestions, 
The rooms in the Hyde are very big and would suggest that there is room for a much larger double bed. 
The room could do with a digital safe, most hotels I stay in have these.
Consider fitting a trouser press, yes there was an iron but most men (excluding me) are not very good at ironing. 

Well done to all at Dillington House for a great time.

Excellent hotel, should be 4 star.

Dillington house was the venue for our wedding on 15th July 2021. It was honestly the most magical  day and I feel that this is partly down to all the staff at Dillington for their amazing efforts. The food was AMAZING couldnt fault a thing and not one single guest could either, it came quickly was hot and tasted incredible. The staff were all polite and smiling even on a out of the blue hot day and  nothing was to much trouble. Even with the strange and uncertain circumstances happening at the moment they still made our day feel special. Thank you to every single member of staff for your efforts! Can we do it all again please?

Wedding of the year.

Just spent two nights at this lovely hotel where all the staff were helpful and friendly the location was one that was quite and relaxing, the grounds were very large and a pleasure to walk around, well laid out and maintained 
Thank you

Quick break away

The dining room and bar were welcoming with lovely food and generous portions. Very friendly staff, polite and hugely respectful and excellent service. Dinner was delicious and breakfast plentiful. I stayed in the Mews, in a twin room. It was quiet, warm and comfortable. Parking is good and the views and countryside are lovely. Great conference centre and great for a break or work event.

Atmospheric and welcoming

Delicious Sunday Carvery!Superb Service,nothing was too much trouble,they even provided Gluten Free Yorkshire puddings!!!Not many eateries bother,Beautiful setting,a walk around the stunning grounds afterwards,Cannot recommend this highly enough.👍
