Stayed here for New Years Eve 2024. We chose the pub hotel for its remote location and lack of fireworks (we have dogs and one is traumatised by loud noises) from the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. A quintessential English pub with wonderful, nicely designed and spacious rooms and very comfy beds (we had Beech and Birch). The owners and locals were very friendly and inclusive, taking care to make us feel welcome. We felt very well looked after. Breakfast was delicious (full English) and served with locally made tea and coffee (Miles, made in Porlock) and unlimited juice. We are happy that this place is only 50 mins from where we live because we will definitely be back for lunch and will find an excuse to stay again soon, I’m sure highly recommend. Thanks to everyone there for a great stay! Sam and Nick Clarke Rooms: Nicely renovated to a high standard with beautiful bedding and super comfortable bed. Food and drinks: Lovely locally made produce (even the tea and coffee is made in Porlock) no cheapskating on quality. Good drinks selection and an exciting looking menu. Will definitely be back for lunch soon! Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Great view, Romantic, Child friendly, Great value
We stayed for 5 nights and had a very comfortable stay throughout. The beds are wonderful, and you are guaranteed to sleep well. The staff and customer service is 10/10. Each and every member of the team are polite and overly accommodating. The breakfast is really good as well as the dinner menu plus it’s very well priced. My wife also needed to store medicine in one of their fridges which was no problem for them to keep safe and administer it whenever we needed. The location is perfect if you’re staying to explore the different trails and walks. Just keep in mind, there’ isn’t a shop near or in the village so you’d need to pick up snacks etc on the way through. We’d stay here again Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Quiet, Great value
