The Lawns Tea Room and B&B

Don't visit. Turned up. No one there on arrival. Had to phone Simon the owner. He stated straight away..don't use the ensuite bathroom. We had a look and the first thing we notice was the smell of cabbage and sewers coming from the ensuite. Rang to let Simon know and asked if we could move to another room but he said there wasnt one. He didn't seem shocked or surprised about our complaint and said he would sort it! We had to go out and on returning later, the only thing it seems he had done ,was spray air freshener which didn't hide the smell and still not able to use the bathroom. Simon had said when we first arrived to use the toilet across the landing. He wasn't around to be able to talk to so we messaged him to let him know we wouldn't be staying, so we left. I've emailed him and text him, but no response. The £91 for a very smelly room with an ensuite that wasn't available to us, with a sign on the door that said ' dont use' and also looked really shabby like an old people's care home, was absolutely ridiculous. Good luck to whoever stays here. If you want the feeling of visiting an elderly relative at a home which smells, which even has a stairlift leftover and don't want any sight of the owner, you've struck gold.

The Lawns Tea Room B&B is a relaxing and a lovely place to stay. Lovely room and a great full English cooked breakfast. Simon is a great host and the little village of Ashcott is a great place to be based if you want to go to Taunton, Bridgewater or Street where Clark’s Shopping village is.

We had booked to stay overnight in February 2024 and sadly I was admitted to hospital in an emergency and my partner phoned the owner to explain the situation and said please could we reschedule to a future date. My partner has contacted him twice and he said that he would check the diary and get back…. Waited and no response. Called again this morning and as soon as he knew who it was he hung up. Yet rooms are available as I’ve checked online. Absolutely awful service.

Went down for Bridgewater Carnival. This lovely b/b was just perfect from the lovely Simon, the decor,the excellent breakfast and the cosiest of rooms. Even a stair lift although not that many stairs. Bedrooms we had both had wet floor showers and bed was one of the comfiest I’ve slept in. Simon and his daughter made us very welcome and nothing was too much bother. Ashcott is so central too. It was that good we’ve booked again for next year

Combining a weekend of shopping at Street and visiting the RSPB Ham Wall reserve The Lawns was an idea place to stay. Simon gave us a friendly welcome and made sure we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Our was clean an comfortable. The highlight of the visit was the breakfast. There was a good variety of cereals and the inclusion of fresh fruit was wonderful. The "full English" was delicious, cooked to order and arrived piping hot to the table. We have no hesitation to staying at the Lawns again.
