Montigo Resorts Somerset at Charlton House

Need a relaxing retreat? Or the perfect get away? Look no further! This place has everything you need, 5* food! 5* service and 5* facilities. The spa is sensational, the food some of the best in the area, and the friendly and local service incredibly valuable! Thank you for having us! A special shout out to Lloyd who accommodated us so well and told us all about the future of the hotel, and the friendly service from everyone like Tobias who made us feel special from the very beginning!

Really enjoyed the stay. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, set in the sleepy town of Shepton Mallet, lots of lovely places to get a coffee near by: the room we stayed in was beautiful. Special shout out to Lloyd, really took care of myself and my partner and ensured that we had a great stay. Food was great quality. Lots of different events on each week that you have to hook up before arrival.

Super stay lovely room and so quiet

For a last minute replacement very nice, staff very frendly and easy to talk to.

On paper, it seemed to be the ideal getaway for us; a couple looking to unwind without the kids, but unfortunately turned sour the moment we arrived. We booked the Junior Suite - the second most expensive offering - for a single night as part of the 'suite retreat' package. As we went through the online checkout process the three-course dining option was displayed as an upsell, including the available menu. Okay, sure. We were planning to dine in the restaurant anyway and the menu appealed to us both. With £104 added to the bill, we completed the purchase, £388 lighter but all set. It started with high hopes; the resort was responsive to my request for afternoon tea instead of champagne - it'd be a shame to drink alone with my wife being pregnant. The resort contacted me quickly to discuss check-in times and to collect my details. A great start. Upon arrival, we entered the reception lobby amid a spat between hotel management and a group of guests. I don't know the full picture but I certainly agree with the guest perspective given our experience. We waited to be greeted, not particularly long, but longer than anticipated. The manager who greeted us was muddled - We explained who we were and that we had afternoon tea booked for 1 pm. We were told to wait until 1 pm whereby we would then be free to roam the resort. Odd, I'd of thought we'd be having afternoon tea at 1 pm seeing as that was the time we had booked. Alas, we waited in the reception area and were provided coffee - fair enough. As 1 pm bids farewell, we decided to speak with Crystal who seemed to be in control of the dining area and bar. She put us right - sat us down, arranged drinks and afternoon tea shortly followed. It was a decent spread, though rather weighted towards sweet treats with only four 'sandwiches' and no other savoury options. It was tasty enough but too much sugar. The waiter boxed the remaining sweet treats for us to enjoy later - brilliant. We head back towards reception to enquire as to when our room would be ready. It had been ready at 1 pm. Okay, understandable, we must have misinterpreted our first interaction at reception. We were shown to the 'Garden Room (30?)'; peaceful, removed from the main building and initially quite impressive. We unpacked and headed to the Spa - included in our booking - for a little relaxation and warmth. Unfortunately, this is the point where things go downhill quickly. Upon entering the spa the receptionist informed us that there had been a 'mare' - short for nightmare - and that both the jacuzzi and steam room(s) were out of order. We were however told that the pool and showers were still operational. Hmm. We stepped into a tepid 'pool', not big enough or deep enough to do more than potter around, clinging to the few jets of water emanating a slightly warmer stream of water. We quickly left - this is worse than our local community swimming centre. We head back to the room to enjoy the cast iron bath instead. At least th

I have been to Charlton house three times over the years, not since it was taken over by Montigo Resorts and can honestly say the experience is wonderful. We were the first customers to eat at the Tigo outdoor restaurant and the BBQ was delightful- we enjoyed the Lamb Koftas, Pulled pork, Mac n Cheese and Slaw. The spa treatments were delightful, special shout out to Christina, and the lovely check in spa lady who used to work for BA! Great time all round and will be back ❤️
