About The Flying Fish Stables

Each of the eight rooms at The Flying Fish Stables comes with its own en-suite bathroom, along with drinks available to enjoy in the room and the option of room service if guests would rather not leave. It's a small, converted stable property, so the feel throughout is intimate rather than corporate, though it still runs to meeting rooms and business services for those combining a stay with work.

Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar, with breakfast served daily and kids meals available for families. The garden and outdoor seating area give guests somewhere to sit outside, and free WiFi covers the property throughout. The Flying Fish Stables also operates as a wedding venue, with entertainment arranged on site for functions and events.

Pets are welcome, and free on-site parking is provided, useful given the Ilminster location on Windmill Hill. A pub, restaurant and other eateries are all within reach nearby, making it a straightforward base for exploring the surrounding Somerset countryside without needing a car for every meal out.
