About Us

The beautiful Old Priory Hotel dates back to medieval times and offers guests a delightful place to stay in the heart of Somerset. The hotel is also home to the famed Moody Goose restaurant which was originally located in central Bath before the Owner/Chef, Stephen Shore, was enchanted by the Old Priory.

Lovingly preserved, the hotel features a wealth of character and charm in the form of inglenook fireplaces, flagstone floors and oak beams. This ambience, combined with the award-winning restaurant, provide guests with a truly splendid atmosphere in which to dine and relax.

The hotel has a choice of wonderful rooms suitable for the travelling business person, couples and one family room is available. Each of the six rooms have ensuite facilities and contemporary touches to ensure you stay in the lap of luxury.
