Great little B&B, amazing for the price and so close to the train station only an hour into Cardiff. Off-road parking at the front off the property, easy check in, we were given fresh milk for the teas & coffee in our room. There was a mini bar with plenty of choice if you wanted to purchase drinks. The room was clean, had plenty of space and everything you would need for a short stay. But the absolute best bit was the breakfast, great choice of hot and cold food, all included in the price of the stay.

Overall, a nice place to stay for the weekend save for a couple of minor spoilers - dead flies around the bathroom window were still there after the second day. Also, I found that the shower tray was very slippery, bordering on being dangerous for an old git like me - this is a health and safety issue which really needs sorting. Bed was very comfortable and the breakfasts were good.

Great Hereford BandB.

Beautiful house, very tastefully furnished. All amenities you could require available in the room. Great breakfast, both cooked and continental. Only 10 minute walk into Hereford and the trains and buses. Only slight criticism was some bits of maintenance needed in bathroom, black on silicon at bath taps, floor grouting needed attention and sink plug didn't fit properly. Sheila and Steve were super friendly proprietors, happy to do anything to ensure a great stay.

5 stars

Our stay at Somerville House was excellent. Sheila and Steve were very welcoming and provided everything to make our stay comfortable. The breakfasts were absolutely first class, the beds were extremely comfortable and the room had plenty of storage space. The beautiful garden was quiet and colourful with plenty of garden tables and chairs to use and a large canopy for shade which Steve put up for us. We had a choice of leaflets providing information about local places to visit and Sheila's suggestions helped us enjoy some lovely days out during our stay. We will definitely return! Thank you Sheila and Steve. Pauline & Margaret Thank you Sheila and Steve!

Perfect & Comfortable Hotel Break

My wife and I stayed at Somerville House when we visited for a friends wedding. A warm welcome and a room that had every amenity that you could need, from a mini fridge to a kettle and an iron, and more..I liked the honesty bar facility as well. A comfortable bed and room. the hotel is a short 15 min walk into the City centre. The breakfast was excellent with a choice of fruit and cereals and a choice of hot breakfasts, coupled with a cafetiere of good coffee. The service was friendly. We found it to be perfect for our needs and would recommend.

Nice hotel, great food and location

The hotel is lovely and in a great location. Easy walk to town. Breakfast was great and staff friendly. The only negative was the shower. There was no hand unit so showering was a little uncomfortable.
