Bed and Breakfast Accommodation and Cottages in Somerset - Rob and Sally Snook

Rob is the fourth generation of Snooks to farm here since 1898 when his great-grandfather bought the farm. Now that the dairy herd have been sold Rob runs the farm almost single handedly and is rearing a suckler herd of Hereford beef.

He rears the cows individually and the herd has a reputation for being extremely quiet and easy to handle because they are subjected to as little stress as possible.

Clanville Manor - A Picture From The Past

Sally qualified as an SRN in London and was a Theatre Nurse whilst bringing up her two sons who are now in their twenties. She started running the B&B and the first self-catering cottage in 1996 and has spent the last fifteen years improving standards and trying to anticipate the needs of her guests. More than 30% of Clanville Manor’s business is repeat so we must be doing something right!

Traditional Excellence

Clanville Manor is not a ’boutique’ B&B! It is a beautiful Georgian farmhouse that is also a family home. I take pride in providing traditional quality accommodation and award winning cooked breakfasts in our farmhouse which has been sympathetically restored over the years appropriate to its inherent Georgian style.

The furniture is nearly all over 100 years old and some are family pieces that have been passed down through the generations. However, I have worked hard for over 15 years to achieve recognition by Enjoy England who awarded Four Stars and a Gold Award and by the AA who selected Clanville Manor for Four Yellow Stars (Highly Commended). This means that the beds are new and comfortable, even the four-poster, but in keeping with the other furniture, and we provide all the modern facilities that you would expect from a four-star B&B.
