Eggs for breakfast came right out of the hen's nest. Be sure not to run over the chickens! Kid friendly too. Don't miss this lovely and quaint country retreat.

And the nice thing is that it's conveniently located only 9 miles from downtown Knoxville. When you arrive, Lynn will give you a tour of the place, give you instructions and your special key code to get in and out as you please, and lastly, bring you to your room. We have stayed in two different rooms and our favorite is the spacious room upstairs with the en-suite bathroom. Room amenities include: extra towels, pillows, and blankets, a fan, a white noise machine, smart T.V., luggage stand, and a binder of useful information. Each morning, Lynn serves a continental breakfast from 8-10 a.m. which includes: fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs, homemade muffins, granola bars, and oatmeal. The coffee and tea bar is always open, which I just love. I can't sing enough accolades for this beautiful bed and breakfast and its delightful host. If you're visiting Knoxville and you need a place to stay, you don't need to search any further.

This is my new standard for Ideal Hotel Room. Mattress and pillows were super-comfortable, the…read moremini-fridge wasn't noisy, the shower (cleanliness, water pressure, and heat) were PERFECT. I didn't hear anything from the hallways or adjacent rooms. It was set far back enough from the main road so I didn't hear any traffic noise. The staff were incredibly helpful at check-in and suggested where I should park based on my room's location. I did have some difficulties finding the location, even with GPS, as you can't easily see it from the road. You basically drive through a bank parking lot and it's tucked behind it. There are SO MANY RESTAURANTS nearby to choose from. I honestly don't know what Somerset's about (is it a college town? Something with horses? State capitol?) to need all these restaurants, but I was thankful they were here. It was just a town I was driving through on my way somewhere else. Staff were great, room was ideal, I was spoiled with dining choices, and the morning breakfast bar was perfect. Couldn't ask for anything better.

So the reservation started off kind of shaky. I called and a gal picked up. I was able to tell her…read moreall the information to make it; however, when I asked for a confirmation, she was quick to respond that she was doing many things at once and that it would take time to send a confirmation email. Customer service wise, if you pick up the phone, you need to either put the guest on hold, while you finish what you are doing with another guest. Do not try to take a reservation and then state that "I cannot do this right now because I am doing too many things at once." It came off so rude. Anyway, I was able to get the confirmation, the email I requested never had shown up, and so i had to jot down the number from an individual who was already irritated. OMG, it is not my problem you were irritated because you were not trained well to prioritize workload! Coming from an hour and a half away, it is kind of important to feel secure that the hotel I am making a reservation at will book me and have a room available. I was a bit thrown... I travel here and I notice that the first Hampton Inn sign (turned perpendicular) to the entrance that serves two hotels (Holiday Inn, Aldi, and Hampton Inn) is a bit misplaced. I ended up in the Aldi's parking lot because it was in front of it. I end up coming inside and a guy takes my information and gets me the room keys. Everything smooth there. I then ask because I see on Google Reviews and on here, it is not stated very well; however, breakfast at this Hampton Inn is completely free. I know with some Hilton brand and Marriott brand hotels, one has to be on a member tier to be able to get it free. If not, they will have to pay full price. Luckily, this is not the case here. Just wanted to make that clear. The cable options in the room are amazing. Good t.v. guide with title of the show and alphabetically ranged (*note for myself, they have The Travel Channel). 126 channels in all! 04/16/2026 The breakfast was not bad. They had a variety of make your own (waffles and cinnamon buns) and then these black seed lemon tarts in the plastic display. The hot foods were breakfast cups (bread with egg used as spread), bacon strips (which were actually crispy and cooked well), and lemon potato wedges (I was not too fond of them). If one were to keep going, they would have all the cereals. Another big thing is the cut fruit. I was taking bowls of that. Probably the only time I actually care enough to get my fruit portion in. Comparing to a Quality Inn's breakfast, they definitely have Hampton Inn beat on the potato wedges. I wish Quality Inns would cook the bacon like this Hampton Inn had done, though. I feel like hotel breakfasts have pretty much the same ingredients, just done up more in Hiltons (Hampton Inn). Egg beater yellow (folded) eggs that may come scrambled at Quality Inn, will be liquified on the bread to make the cups. The potato wedges will be more cooked (not fried) and have lemon juice squeezed on them. The cut fruit may actually be cut by someone or bought from a store, pre cut, instead of a served in a Dole fruit cup (which is more preserved) and placed in a fridge. They do not give tea options in the rooms; however, I found that they had unique Cranberry tea (have not seen that in other hotels in Kentucky) along with Lemon Ginger. They also have herbal, black, green (I think) and earl grey.
