Warm welcoming hosts. Really comfortable bed. Lots of attention to detail and can see they are continuing to invest in the property in the interest of providing a great experience for its guests. Parking is a huge plus as difficult to park in Chard and you can walk right onto the highstreet to pubs and restaurants. Would stay again.
Amazing stay, hosts lovely, friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble.
Breakfast was very very good
Would def stay here again

Put me in one of the attic rooms. 2 flights of stairs and one was step and narrow. Room had shed ceiling about 3 feet from floor, head burns repeatedly , also very warm room temp. Full breakfast average
I was there for an overnight stay as I worked locally. Great little place, clean and friendly. Fantastic English breakfast which you can book the night before with a QR code. No complaints and would stay again.
Trudy and David made me feel very welcome; my room was upgraded at no extra cost and i had my suitcase carried up to my room. Every was in the room that I needed! The breakfast was also very nice- all local produce used. I shall certainly stay at Watermead again if i am in the area!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Both Trudy & Dave were lovely Room looked over the lovely garden, it was spacious with shower gel, hair wash & hand soap all provided, breakfast was amazing if you wanted a full english, all cooked to order, breakfast room spotless plus a lovely lounge to, peaceful B&B with lovely hosts as well
Watermead guest house is a very welcoming place. Trudy and David are the perfect hosts. A lovely cooked breakfast every day, room very clean and comfortable.
Despite booking and paying in advance, the owner was not expecting us. At 8.30pm after a long day this is the last thing anyone wants to hear. The owner then proceeded to blame Expedia and others for the mistake - the owner told us that they had no rooms left but wasn’t apologetic and then offered an alternative room in an annexe they normally use for Airbnb. At least we had a place to stay! We left early in the morning and didn’t stay for breakfast as we were disappointed with the whole experience!
Lovely B&B and great hosts, very welcoming and upgraded my room to ensuite. Nice full breakfast cooked perfect. Good location situated off the main road in a quiet cul-de-sac.
Great find at the last minute. Lovely room and comfortable bed. Lovely toiletries in the bathroom! Owners Trudy and David were very welcoming and friendly and a great source of local information. Would recommend.
