About
The Old Vicarage Hotel & Restaurant is one of the oldest buildings in Bridgwater, with some parts dating back to the 14th century. The property has undergone extensive renovations to the oldest parts of the property, including 9 of the bedrooms, in 2019. The bar and restaurant serves lunch, evening meals and we offer all our guest a continental breakfast buffet with home-cooked traditional as well. Located in the heart of the town center, there is a garden and patio area, where guests can enjoy their morning coffee, lunch or a drink. Just off of the M5 at Junction 24, the hotel is close to many attractions such as Cheddar Gorge, Quantock Hills, Glastonbury, Wells, Wookey Hole and the city of Bristol.

Pros +
- Combined Water outlet at wash basin.
- Great room with quirky beams & big comfy bed. No dressing table which was a shame but with a little improvisation it wasn't a problem. Room was very quiet & due to the layout of the rooms within the hotel we weren't bothered by noise from other guests.
- Well located. Easy parking. Excellent restaurant with very friendly and helpful staff,
Cons -
- No English breakfast available, but continental breakfast was good. Bedlamp installations are close to 19th century. Too small rack to put one's toilet bags inside bathroom, too few towel rails and hooks as well. Room rather small.
- No dressing table.
- The room was well equipped and clean but unfortunately being on the ground floor, we were disturbed by the noise from the room above.

Great central location. Parking. Good breakfast.
Location was good, nice fresh cooked breakfast. Room was comfortable and shower nice and hot.
Room was at the front on a Saturday night so there was a bit of external noise.
Really friendly staff and nice atmosphere in the hotel. Room was big, warm (in a good way - it was winter!) and comfortable, and the bathroom and shower were nice too!
Never again stayed for 3...
Breakfast was poor quality cheap ingredients bacon like leather , local sausage I say cheapest you could buy cheap sauce , first room we had was dirty old water in kettle sugar over side , dust all over place , bathroom shower head needs replacing , water in shower tray long time drain away mould then moved room no better ripped sheets around bed I could continue but I leave it at that .
Great location, comfy room and lovely breakfast, staff were very pleasant and good value
Staff very attentive from start to finish room was great breakfast was excellent great value for money
Great little hotel, staff were friendly and really helpful. We booked two rooms, both classic doubles, cosy but had everything we needed. Breakfast was excellent, we arrived too late for dinner so can't comment on other meals. There is a good selection of local beer and ales in the bar. We knew the car park had a tight entrance but didn't have any problem getting in as our car isn't big.
Spotless ! Quirky, warm,nice decor, Every member of staff where awesome and friendly couldn’t do enough for me! Couldn’t believe the value for money tbh well worth a visit ! 10/10
We revisited The Old Vicarage for our wedding anniversary and birthday treat. They very kindly arranged for us to stay in the room we had on our first visit.The staff were all lovely, the breakfast and dinner was delicious and the whole place looked so beautiful.We will be back again
Great location fantastic price superb staff and engaging owners
Hotel is in a quiet location. Very helpful staff and excellent restaurant. Very clean.
Access to car park is difficult. Our room was up two flights of steep stairs, not a problem for us but would be for some people. Need to check access if you have limited mobility.
the staff were extremely friendly and helpful ,despite the hotel being extremely old it was very comfortable and spotlessly clean.the food in the restaurant was also of a very high standard.
On the evening i stayed the wifi on the tellley in the room was off line but on a whole is a very minor detail i could have gotten resolved quite easily but couldnt be bothered to.
The building is full of history and character.We booked a dog friendly room, it was huge! We had a bathroom with a bath and a shower, and I've honestly never stayed anywhere with such a clean bathroom!The menu.in the restaurant wasn't huge but both our meals...risotto and lasagne were delicious.Great selection at breakfast with hot food cooked to order. Front of house were all, without exception, friendly, engaging, and attentive without being intrusive.Onsite parking was welcome. Although it was accessed through a narrow arch, we managed to get our LWB VDub parked.This is a very special hotel.
We were visiting friends close by, so we found ourselves in Bridgwater by default. It's not the nicest of places to visit, but the hotel more than made up for it.
Very pleasant friendly helpful staff.Quiet retreat in the centre of Bridgwater
The bed was very uncomfortable, very soft and poor quality. We didnt sleep at all well.Room quite old and in need of updating, it says on the website all rooms have been refurbished and are cosy but we did not experience this.
Beautiful suite, warm and cosy, staff were friendly, good breakfast
Excellent welcome from the owner and loved staying in the quaint King Suite. Very good Sunday Roast and tasty breakfast. Lovely decor & furnishings throughout. Amazing en suite!!
Just a bit of a tight squeeze to get the car through the archway & into the car park.
Excellent customer service, food was delicious, the room was comfortable and warm
Nothing all good
