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.

I have stayed at Somerville several times and always enjoyed it. Lovely garden. Walking distance from the city. Excellent breakfast. Staff / owners very friendly and helpful. Only slight negative is that sometimes it is difficult to park in the hotel car park, but there is not anything the owners can do about that! Forunately I was able to park nearby. I shall be back!

This B&B is a hidden gem! It is one of those places you talk about for years after staying. Location in a lovely neighborhood. Our room was on the ground floor (no lift in B&B) with a stunning view of the beautiful back garden and of Hereford Cathedral. The room was wonderfully decorated and very comfortable. Parking was right out front. Easy drive to downtown area. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Bathroom was roomy and very clean. Breakfast was plentiful. The porridge/oatmeal was delicious! Can't say enough about this fabulous place. Wish we could have stayed longer.

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.

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.

We couldn't fault our stay. Our room was on the second floor with velux windows in both the bedroom and bathroom affording lovely views. Both rooms were spotlessly clean and warm. There is a well stocked amenity tray and a mini bar containing lots of choices. We were even offered fresh milk for our tea & coffee, so much nicer then UHT pots! The breakfasts are fresh and delicious, with a very good choice of juices, fruit, yoghurts, cereals and full English. We wouldn't hesitate to return if we find ourselves in Hereford again.

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.

Our room was a good size,nicely decorated and had everything we needed including a well stocked mini bar at very reasonable prices. Breakfast was delicious and there were plenty of options available. Unfortunately we only stayed for 1 night but we had a great time and would definitely stay again if visiting the area.
