About this property
Welcome to The Phoenix Hotel
The Phoenix Hotel is a casual, four-star establishment housed in a former coaching inn on Fore Street in Chard. The property offers warm, comfortable rooms alongside a lively pub atmosphere that features live music and a DJ, providing a relaxed social setting for guests. Free Wi-Fi and free parking are available, though the hotel does not offer air conditioning, a pool, or a fitness center, and it is not pet-friendly or accessible.
Located on a vibrant street lined with shops and cafes, the hotel is conveniently positioned just a minute's walk from the nearest bus stop and close to local attractions such as the Chard Museum and the Norman-era Castle Neroche, which lies about seven miles away. The nearby Mrs O's coffee shop, highly rated by visitors, adds to the neighborhood’s inviting character.
While the property receives generally positive reviews, with a total of 295 guest ratings and an average score around 3.5, feedback suggests it is well suited for visitors seeking a casual stay with social amenities rather than luxury or comprehensive accessibility features. Check-in is from 13:00 and check-out by 11:00.
The hotel also serves as a practical base for exploring notable nearby sites such as National Trust properties Barrington Court and Montacute House, both renowned for their historic significance and gardens. Guests traveling via air can reach the hotel within approximately an hour's car journey from Exeter Airport or just over an hour from Bristol Airport.
