Castle of Comfort Country House restaurant in West Somerset

Our second visit to the Castle of Comfort. It's a great place to stay with lovely staff members and owners. They were so helpful and accommodating. They welcomed us with cake and refreshments. And the meals were first class. The Hotel is clean and decorated in keeping with the history of the property which is very interesting. The gardens are beautiful. Thank you to everyone. We will be back.

I cannot fault this place. Friendly as soon as you arrive and throughout your stay. Complimentary tea and cake in the lovely garden upon arrival and nothing is too much trouble. This is a dog friendly place and our two little Yorkies had a whale of a time running around the 4 acres. Breakfast was exceptional, fills you up for the day. Everything so clean and spotless all around the building and grounds. Nice sized bathroom with large walk in shower. Complimentary sherry in your room each day as well as a 'chambre en service' - tea, coffee, biscuits, sweets, nuts! We'll be back!

Highly recommend this lovely hotel, accommodation was excellent, wonderful little touches in the rooms. Excellent food, staff were superb, beautiful surroundings can’t wait to return

Had a 3 course dinner during an overnight stay. Good choice of all three courses. Food was delicious and service was good.

We had a 2 night break here with our dog and could not fault it, the room was immaculate , food was gorgeous and the staff could not be more friendly and helpful. We most definitely will be back. Our cockapoo called Mouse wanted to say a special thank you to Carol for his sausages for breakfast.

We enjoyed our stay at the castle of comfort a lot! The staff, including Emily and Imogen, served us a delicious and relaxing breakfast and dinner in the garden, and they offered a treat to our dog for breakfast! Very clean room, amazing garden and outside area to have your drink or a coffee. Highly recommended

Friendly helpful staff who were very accommodating. Comfortable well-appointed room and bathroom. Great food and excellent service. What a friendly and well-run place. Recommended.

Having stayed at the Castle ten years ago en route to Cornwall and loved it we reprised the stopover last week on our way to Paul Ainsworth's, Padstow. Our one night here was FAULTLESS... Super welcome from the most delightful young lady who attended to our needs throughout - excellent "arrival" cake (choice of four!) and teas then a beautifully presented and most tasty evening meal at an excellent price - breakfast offered an amazing choice, the quality of which was stunning. Cleanliness second to none and the comfort living up to the titular moniker! JUST WONDERFUL!!!

This was our second visit to the area. Previously we had been put off by the name, The Castle of Comfort! Seemed a bit pretentious. However, this time round we thought we'd give it a try. And it turned out to be excellent in all respects. The bar and restaurant are very pleasant comfortable rooms. The menu offers a limited but varied choice of straightforward dishes. None of those highfalutin' dishes with ten or more ingredients, several of which you've never heard of! Our waitress, Ingrid, was lovely, very friendly and served us with just the right level of efficiency. And the food? It was excellent! Unusually we both had three courses and enjoyed all of them. They were well prepared and presented and, where appropriate, served piping hot. My dessert of Meringue and Summer Fruits was described by me as a vertical Eton Mess and was delicious! Would we go back? You bet!! Perhaps to stay this time. We had a wonderful evening.

A Lovely place to find. The layout and service was very good. As were the pre-dinner cocktails and aperitifs. The starter was superb. However, the Christmas meal (turkey) was a bit like a school dinner. Vegetables were fine, as were the roast potatoes, but the meat looked and tasted like it was from a packet. Shame - everything else was SO good.

We had a wonderful anniversary meal and will be going back again near Christmas. The young staff were very pleasant, The restaurant is tastfully decorated and very comfortable

The evening meal was excellent with a good varied choice also the breakfast was real good with plenty of choice I would certainly recommend The Castle Of Comfort

An absolute gem of a place in every way. Could market themselves as "boutique" hotel "gastro" pub but chose not to. Highlights for us were:- - Setting right on Quantock AONB hills - High-quality rooms, (jus 8 I think). - Family run. Independent. - Wonderful 4-course breakfasts with local ingredients - The Dinners are wonderful. Home-cooked. Individual 3 course menu each day. - Very pretty outdoor heated swimming pool set in lovely grounds. - Fantastic base for biking, walking (safe storage for bike) - Good location for trips out, coast, cheddar, Wookey, etc A superb place for 3-7 day break. If you catch a week with good weather it feels like your own private villa .... but with meals provided. Outstanding. If you call them they are very helpful. Advice, Juggling rooms etc.

Thoughtful well presented menu, and plenty of choice delivered with a genuine smile. This hotel grows on you and nothing seemed too much trouble.

We booked for an overnight stay to celebrate my parent's special wedding anniversary. On arrival, we were served with complimentary tea and cake which was lovely. The evening meal was excellent and the accommodation was very comfortable. Breakfast the following morning was also excellent. The staff were very helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and can recommend it without reservation.

Setting is amazing Food was delicious Very welcoming and professional service Felt very safe re Covid

Amazing hotel. Very welcoming, lots of extras. Excellent chef. Beautiful setting and a pool., no need for more.

A truly delightful eatery. We had afternoon tea which was absolutely sumptuous. The best outside of the Ritz!!!! I’m very critical of afternoon tea. What we liked most was that unlike many places where you get only a few sandwiches but lots of cake this...

We ate here for a couple of evenings, and were impressed with the food and service. The tables were well spaced, and the menu was excellent both in choice and the quality of food. We will consider staying here as well another time.

Our second stay at this wonderful hotel. Lovely rooms with fabulous bathrooms and exquisite comfy beds! The food is first class. Friendly informal staff makes this place classy without being stuffy. A sea view from our window this time and swifts nesting above the lintel....

Visited the castle of Comfort twice now, both times for valentines weekend. Love this place, great food, great staff who cater to all your needs where possible.Rooms have good comfortable beds with high quality bedding, towels and bathrooms. Set in lovely grounds with a swimming...

Amazing Sunday lunch with very rich portions. Very family friendly and a lovely lounge to waddle into, for a nap post a big feed!

Used this for a get together with friends. A spacious lounge area with plenty of comfortable seating. Fabulous food made from locally sourced produce - everything was delicious. Cheerful staff. A wide range of gins/tonics to choose from and a comfortable bed to fall into....

Stayed 2 nights for a wedding nearby. Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly staff. Our room was very clean with excellent facilities. Lots of little touches which was nice. On the day of the wedding Carol offered us a complimentary lift to the wedding...

We had tried to stay in the hotel the previous day but they were full, but they recommended another very good hotel nearby. Decided to repay their welcoming reception by booking dinner the following evening and very pleased we did. Service and food was excellent...

The oddly named Castle of Comfort is a country house hotel and not just a restaurant. We went for an unexpected mid-week visit, were lucky to get a room, and every expectation was fulfilled. The weather was hot and sunny, so the lovely owners prepared...

Fantastic weekend in a fabulous place. Nothing was too much trouble here. Rooms lovely, grounds amazing and the food was 2nd to none. Warm and friendly staff and owner. Can’t recommend enough

I only had the opportunity to have one meal here, I shall definitely have more on our next visit. There was a good selection for each course, which made choosing difficult. The main course of duck was nicely cooked and beautifully presented with well chosen...

We spent the weekend for a Valentine break, the whole place is complete luxury .We dined at the hotel on Saturday evening ,food was great ,service was just as good. The owner and staff can't do enough for you .The hotel is set in 4...

Stopped off after a walk for a cream tea. All the staff extremely welcoming to both us and our very muddy dog! Scones were delicious with ample clotted cream and good choice of Jam.

Really enjoyed our 2 nights here, nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Bought back memories as I used to visit here when it was a family house to see my best friend as a child . Lovely setting and very quiet. Would recommend

We went twice during the week. First we had a cream tea. WOW. Beautiful sandwiches, cakes, scones and cream. All served outside in the lovely sunshine. Great service. Took two dogs who were treated beautifully. We returned on our final morning for a last minute breakfast. Couldn’t fault anything. Sausage, bacon, egg, tomato and beans. Beautiful thick toast served with marmalade and jams and lots of butter. Tea and coffee. Service fabulous. I love this place. The lady who I think owns the hotel is so lovely. I cannot say anything but positive things.

We stayed here for a long weekend. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable with a range of teas, coffees and hot chocolate, plus sherry. The food at breakfast and in the evening in the restaurant was fabulous. The menu change every day and there was plenty of variety and a different vegetarian choice every day. The staff were polite, friendly and helpful.

A simple one nighter on work made so easy. Very vomgortableroom, generous host, luxury toiletries and tea tray and a sherry nightcap bonus. Hearty and freshly home cooked breakfast. Will return to try the outdoor heated pool. Gorgeous grounds. All extremely clean and well kept inside and out.

A small restaurant for B&B; guests which sometimes has tables in very nice dining room for non-residents. Our food was beautifully cooked and presented and the service was good. Essential to book ahead.

We booked a table and had the Christmas menu. The staff were great and very accommodating. The peanut parfait was perfect. Really can't recommend the place enough. Great service, great food, will definitely be going back.

Came here on a very wet day. We entered the place dripping wet, but we were welcomed by a lady with a warm and welcoming smile and chat. We were ushered into a very spacious and comfy room where the lady took our order for tea and cakes. We didn't have to wait long before the refreshments came and again these came with a very friendly attitude. There were two other couples there having tea and we got talking to one couple who were staying at the place, and loved every minute of their stay. I must admit the whole ambience of the place, its décor and cleanliness did invite a lengthier visit, and we couldn't help comparing it with our rather mundane caravan accommodation! We thoroughly enjoyed our tea which was really nicely presented with bone china cups and plates, and a lovely large teapot. The cake was delicious too (I had lemon drizzle cake which was lovely and lemony and very light). At the end of our visit we reluctantly got up and left this 'castle of comfort' which lives up to its name in every way. Will certainly revisit on another holiday.

We stopped here by chance whilst exploring the quantocks .. what a superb find, they do lunches, coffees teas & snacks... plus of course hotel rooms

Recientemente en una boda preciosa en la zona, tuvimos un tiempo maravilloso y el castillo de comodidad a mi placer, era un hotel encantador, el personal era amable, la comida excelente, todo el lugar estaba muy limpio y cómodo. Uno de los propietarios, incluso se ofrecieron a llevar a los huéspedes hasta el lugar a la mañana siguiente para recoger su coche. Servicio arriba y más allá.

Fuimos un grupo de 6 y como antes el servicio era excepcional, sin embargo la comida ha cambiado un poco. Tuve las vieiras como entrante en puré de guisantes, estaba delicioso, pero tengo que decir que el 3 vieiras donde un poco tirando a pequeña. Seguir tuve el filete en un vinagre reducción, pedí mi filete de tamaño que resultó ser bien hecho pero no estoy gemido fue encantador suculentos y sabrosa por desgracia el vinagre reducción era a ser abrumador.

Esta fue nuestra primera vez en el Castillo de comodidad y definitivamente volveremos! Empezamos con una bebida en el salón cómodo antes de entrar en el restaurante, ambos estaban decoradas con mucho gusto y nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos por el personal encantador. Había una opción de 4 entradas diferentes, platos principales y postres, todo parecía muy atractivo y entre los 4 de nosotros probamos la mayoría de ellos. Fueron excelentes!

Very pleasant atmosphere. Very good service. I had the pheasant, it was delicious. Just the right balance between relaxed comfort and elegance.

In supporting the local community the hotel shows the best that Somerset has to offer. A little pricey but the quality was excellent.

El personal hizo por encima y más allá de la llamada de servicio para mí y mi equipo que nos alojamos en este precioso hotel mientras estábamos trabajando localmente. Todo el mundo fue encantador. Todos disfrutamos mucho de nuestra estancia. Todo era fantástico. Sin duda lo recomiendo. El ambiente es genial.

Me and my husband stayed here. It is beautiful. So cosy, clean and outstanding beauty. The staff are wonderful. Definitely would recommend.

This is castle comfort,the best for that morning coffee and tea cake.This is luxury its self.enter into a cosy lounge with sofas to sit on and listen to the clock strike the hours and tick the minutes. Good and friendly service at reasonable prices.We enjoyed our coffee and tea cake in a lovely room.If you want something more than cafe, come here.Parking in front of the building ,there is disabled access .The toilets are first class and provide for disabled and children.Afterwards head for blue anchor for a beach walk or to Kilve nearby.enjoy.(remember to check opening times and reservations for meals)

Stayed over for the night with work....lovely rooms...good food and great staff. They have nine rioms so it is quiet but great stoo over location. Sorry though change the name that almost made us go elsewhere.

Our second visit to the hotel and this time we ate here both nights. First night: Portobello mushroom with spinach and ? and camembert, followed by a superb fillet steak with a Stilton sauce, lovely vegetables, an apple pancake to follow. Second night: pigeon breast on a bed of yummy leeks, followed by pheasant with a delicious sauce, nice vegetables, dessert banana, the Minions' favourite... with a rum and something sauce. Looking forward to our next visit!!Oh, and the breakfasts are out of this world!

Three of us ate here, Pheasant, duck and beef dishes. The plates wee as clean as a whistle. Excellent wine to accompany the food and reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

We ate here twice and regretted that we had not eaten here a third time. The rack of lamb was superbly delicious, as was the beef. The starters were equally yummy and the apple pancakes with apple brandy were superb. The vegetables were a delight. Bravo, Carol!

What a treat, afternoon tea with my Daughter. Beautiful setting as we were able to sit out in the gorgeous garden. The staff were lovely & full of smiles & could not do enough for you. We had loads of scones, 3 flavoured jams + a large dish of fresh cream & a large pot of tea. What a way to spend an afternoon!

Stayed here as we were attending a wedding up the road. The place was wonderful and the staff very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were beautiful, clean and had all you could need. It has a lovely garden and outside swimming pool and parking. The breakfast was faultless and very nice food, didn't go hungry. Because it is an old place they have rooms upstairs and downstairs so if you have trouble with stairs say when booking. A place I will go back to again

Nothing is too much bother. The dining room is spotlessly clean, with a lovely refurbished decor. The pot of tea and food is delicious and just the right amount. If you are lucky, there may be a spare sausage in it for your dog. Thank you for looking after me so well Carol!

We found this place online whilst having a few days away . My goodness , how lucky were we . The room was beautiful with every detail thought of . Lovely decor , spotlessly clean , super comfortable , complimentary sherry in the room and when we had settled in we went into the lounge for the delicious ( and also complimentary) high tea . Home made cakes with fresh coffee or tea served in the lounge . The gardens with their beautifully kept lawns and flower beds and even a swimming pool for the guests to use . ( sadly we didn't have our bathing costumes but next time we shall bring them !) were also immaculate . Our host was so friendly and helpful , nothing too much trouble , all the staff we met were charming and attentive . We also had dinner here . Cooked to perfection by the host as was the delicious breakfast . I highly recommend this place and we shall certainly return . Thankyou for a marvellous stay .

We had our Christmas meal here which was a beautiful 3 course.The starter was a broccoli and Stilton soup served fresh crusty bread.And then for the main it was a succulent roast turkey dinner which was gorgeous. And then followed by vanilla ice cream. Fantastic staff and great chefs. Will be back. :)

Visited on Monday 23rd May as part of my birthday celebrations. The food was superb. Beautiful sandwiches with top notch fillings ( prawns, salmon, cheese, ham). Lovely bread. Scones and clotted cream, lemon drizzle cake, fruit cake and tiffin. Lashings of tea and gorgeous coffee for less than £11 per head. I've had cream tea here before but will definitely be back for afternoon tea.

Het eten was uitstekend, ondanks Engelse keuken. Ontbijtbuffet alsook ontbijt naar keuze op afspraak.

The Castle of Comfort serves, broadly speaking, good quality 'pub grub', and I don't mean that in any disparaging way. The food was really very good, and not wildly expensive. There was a good wine list, too, with some interesting selections on offer. A particular high-point for me was the sheer quality of the tablecloths and napkins on our table. The whole thing was beautifully and carefully laid out - wonderful to see in this day and age of plain wood tables and paper napery.

We dropped into this lovely establishment as we were driving past. We fancied a cup of tea and some scones. The lady welcomed us warmly and soon we were comfortably seated in the large lounge with a cream tea and a delicious lemon drizzle cake (they had come to the end of the fresh scones). The scones, cream and jams were fantastic - loved the rhubarb and orange jam! We wished we could have relaxed here longer - a beautiful place with warm welcome. Thank you.

We have been passing this restaurant for years and finally booked a table yesterday.We went as 2 couples and I have to say it was a great place, the staff were great the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable and the food was extremely good. We will be revisiting soon and would recommend anyone to book a table. This place is a real gem in the countryside.

We were invited to a friends birthday celebration and we had the whole place to ourselves for lunch and the afternoon.It is the most beautiful place about 16th centuary with an interesting history.The bar/lounge was so comfortable and the service was extremly good.The food was wonderful beautifully presented and very hot. It was a lovely old dining area and and comfortable and the table was beautifully set.To top it all the toilets were lovely with small individual proper hand towels !

Food here is fantastic alongside excellent service it's a great place to stay and eat if you are in the area.

Amazing,fresh local produce that is totally delicious! If you are lucky enough to be in the area, dine here. Its superb

Visited on a wet January afternoon, most welcoming host and the very best afternoon Tea I have ever had. Had to take home the surplus, there was so much food.Highly recomended

Highly recommended---what a delightful place. We stayed for the night as we were attending a function at a nearby venue. Great room (with a complimentary sherry!), comfy bed, delicious breakfast the next morning. The lovely landlady even drove us to the venue! Highly recommended.

Excellent small country hotel. Good food in fact very very good food The food in fact was better than a lot I have eaten that was in swanky restaurants costing many times as much. , great rooms lovely staff. Handy location .

Depressed by the rain and a slow journey behind a coach, saw the Castle of Comfort and decided to visit. We were greeted by a charming friendly lady and seated in a warm and very comfortable lounge. Orders for a shared cream tea between three of us plus cake each and tea taken graciously and fulfilled very quickly. Everything was fresh and delightful. A fully satisfying experience and encouragement to return perhaps to stay and certainly to try tea again in the lovely garden which must be great on a sunny day.

Me and my wife stayed here for are first wedding anniversary and it was fantastic the owners carol and Julie made us so welcome when we arrived we had complementary cream tea where we sat in the grounds on a beautiful summers day the hotel is spotless and decor is to a very high standard and all the home cooked food was delicious will definitely be returning

Can't ask for anything more excelant , highly recommended won't hesitate to book again, Carol and Julie perfect hosts

We were on holiday in a nearby cottage and the Castle of Comfort was recommended to us by the local butcher. It's a lovely boutique hotel and, having checked the menu on-line, it looked very impressive. And it was, by a considerable distance, the best meal we had on holiday. Three courses for £30, we all started with the scallops, which were perfectly cooked, then my daughters and I went for the fillet of beef with stilton sauce while my wife tried the duck. Again, all were excellent. Desserts were also very impressive, the chocolate terrine. The welcome was warm and friendly, the service excellent, and a decent reasonable priced wine list plus excellent local beers. The produce is also sourced locally where possible. A lovely experience and we would definitely visit again if we were in the area, quite possibly taking the opportunity to stay over in one of the rooms next time.

Went in for a cream tea.WOW. Beautiful scones, three sorts of jam. Oodles of cream. Fabulous fresh coffee ( I am really picky about my coffee and this was perfect). Delightful owner. £5 per person for a wonderful cream tea in beautiful surroundings. This will be a 'must do' when we come back. Took our puppy and the owner was lovely with him too

We stayed in the hotel also and had dinner and breakfast. My various sausages were a taste adventure, and the service is so friendly and warm. I cannot fault the restaurant for dinner, nor breakfast, it simply is an absolute find.

Popped in for a cheeky cream tea and were made very welcome and comfy! Our dog was also allowed to relax in the lounge area with us. Delicious scones and homemade jams.

Stayed here for the night to go to a wedding at a nearby venue, our room was lovely, spotlessly clean, massive bed which was so comfortable The owner's couldn't have been nicer and even offered to drop us to the wedding,small bar but stocked with everything Breakfast was perfect and very well presented, we will be returning to try the restaurant and for a cream tea

Travelling back from Devon some sustenance was needed to complete our journey. We came upon The Castle of Comfort and were made most welcome. Tea and coffee were excellent and plentiful. Toasted tea cakes and flapjack were delicious. We required no more food till 10.00pm.

The best small hotel I have ever stayed in! Beautiful rooms very clean with excellent facilities! I stayed in ever room during my working week stays there and all are of a high standard. The food was excellent and the staff always cheerful and helpful

Travelling along the A39 towards Ilfracombe, we decided to stop at the Castle Of Comfort for a short break and was so pleased that we did. The owner was charming and helpful and had just finished a batch of freshly baked scones so naturally we decided to have a cream tea in the garden in the sunshine, which was delicious. If the rooms and breakfast are of the same quality, then it is certainly worth trying the Castle Of Comfort Country House & Restaurant !

After passing this place for many years we decided to have a night here for no particular reason.What a wonderful place. We stayed in the Italian suite - it has features dating back to 1655 - marking a date when it was renovated !! Obviously steeped in local history which will no doubt prove to be interesting. The room was lovely, lots of little things like the sherry and boot cleaning kit in the room. We had a great meal, tucked romantically in the corner we enjoyed a quality local sourced meal. All the staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful. All in all a great experience.

This is my second business stay here in the last 3 months. It is an amazing find which is warm, friendly, clean & so comfy.... They go out of there way to make sure u have everything u need & it's the little touches that count. Both times they have up graded me to accommodate working in my room... Two words of advice: remember to book a table for dinner, the food is amazing (none of this ping stuff all cooked from fresh!) & 2nd go & see all the local area as Somerset is a stunning place... Jude

Staying nearby the restaurant was recommended & we were not disappointed . You must place a reservation to dine It has a true country hotel feel and the quality of both our meals were excellent (both fish main courses)with good service . Would use again when in the area.

My wife and I had an excellent evening meal in this lovely restaurant. The food, service and surroundings were just perfect

Sorry its late but this needed to be sent.Thank you for a very warm and much appreciated welcome, you and the girls were a warm welcome to two very tired peopleWe had just moved house and was relocating in Devon, we needed a midway stop over with the dogs.We were late arriving and very tired, the owner wanted to keep the kitchen open for us as she knew we hadn't eaten during the day due to the move. .The dogs were very well catered for as well, the room was perfect. Even though it was raining during the night, there was a small entrance hall to the room which allowed us to de-kit and wipe the dogs down befote entering the room.Breakfast was to die for, we were provided with one of the nicest breakfasts that I've had in a long long time and most certainly set us up for the next part of the move... unloading the lorry.I'm sorry we got chance to say thank you, but hope that this goes a little towards showing our appreciation.

Beautiful surroundings and food was tasty and cooked exactly to our individual likes. The pancakes were light and the contrast of sweet toffee sauce and the slight sharpness of the apple made it a perfect sweet. It was lovely to finish off the meal with a coffee and a chat in the lounge in comfy chairs finished off a wonderful evening.

We called into Castle of Comfort on impulse on our way to Minehead for a cream tea. We received a very friendly greeting by one of the owners & shown into the comfy lounge where she explained the selection of cakes that were on offer as an alternative to the cream teaA choice of teas were available & the homemade scones came with 3 different types of homemade jamThe tea was very nicely served in a relaxed & comfortably environmentThe toilet facilities were immaculateWe were so impressed we asked to see the dinner menu for a future visitWe were told that they have a lovely garden where people can enjoy afternoon teaWe will definitely return & would highly recommend the Castle of Comfort for friendliness, cleanliness & a very enjoyable afternoon tea

This was a spontaneous stop on looking for a quiet cream tea.The tea, scones, clotted cream and selection of three jams were very enjoyable.The place is going through the final stages of a refurbishment ready for the coming season. Despite this the atmosphere was quiet and dignified. The restaurant looked very pleasant and will be tried on another occasion as the menu looked enticing.

Well cooked and presented meal. Restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. A nice place to spend an evening with friends.

I like the local lamb. A good wine list. A good choice of bottled lagers. Good staff.Candles on the table would be nice.No dislikes!

We booked in at the Castle of comfort to break up a journey from Milton Keynes to St Austell. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with a smile and an offer of a drink in the lounge area. For once it makes a change not to be asked to produce a credit card before you do anything. We stayed in a superior room and it was lovely, nicely decorated and worthy of the title. The one night stay was excellent. The menu wasn't extensive but the quality of the food was very good. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and then a walk round the garden finished it off. Certainly worthy of a visit as your heading South!

We called in for cream tea on a lovely Sunday afternoon, and what a treat it was. Every kind of tea or coffee was on offer (we had Darjeeling, Peppermint and plain) and then a feast of scones, clotted cream (local) and three types of jam (all made on the premises) - we could have had a choice of all sorts of cakes as well, but the scones were superb and we had loads of them.And all for £5 each! We sat outside and enjoyed the wonderful gardens. An all round delightful experience which I will be repeating when I can.

I have stayed a few times at the Castle of Comfort while on business and each time I have been met with a very warm and friendly welcome. The rooms are very comfy, well laid out and are equipped with everything you would expect and then plenty of extras that you dont expect. The food whether it be breakfast or evening meal is outstanding, the quality of the food being served is exceptional and the service is second to none. Although just set back from the main road there is no disturance from traffic and I would definately recommend staying in this delightful place.

This is about 6 miles outside of Bridgwater and is slightly set back from the main road. I had a double room situated overlooking the garden. Greeting was friendly and bedroom was lovely with all the expected standards plus a carafe of sherry in the room! I didn't eat dinner but had breakfast which was lovely with good produce. I can recommend this place for anyone who would like a comfortable overnight or weekend stay. Good base for discovering Exmoor.

Superb hospitality, fantastic food, great rooms. Enough said. We are already booked for our next visit!

We always stop here for a coffee on our way to Exmoor. Excellent service and lovely surroundings yet friendly and welcoming and no more expensive than a coffee shop. On a nice day you can sit in the garden for a coffee or cream tea.

The single room was small but well equipped and comfortable with a good view and early morning sunshine. The owners were friendly and the pool would be a real advantage in the summer.

Old building, lots of character, very very very comfortable beds, excellent shower in my room, my brother had a bath in his which looked fabulous. Sheets towels bathrobe all excellent quality.Tea and coffe making faciites in room with great selection of teas and biscuits, nuts even hot choclate and sherry! Windy stairs, so bear in mind if you find stairs a problem. Lovely grounds to walk round in summer. Outdoor pool which looked reasonable size but not v picturesque as surrouned by large mesh fence..guess for safety resons to stop toddlers getting in. No gym but bar room with selection of games and comfy sofas. Lovely dining room and very good food! Great cook! Small vegetarian selection on menu but still enough, good portion sizes and reasonably priced and it tasted great! But what made this place special was the service. The owners and all staff very welcoming, went out of their way to be helpful. Served us v late in bar one night, gave us info about the local area, heated the water in middle of the day when we needed to shower early, let us store our bikes in their out building and were ready with a puncture repair kit if needed. Nothing seemed too much trouble. In fact I left my pyjamas behind in my room by accident and they went out of their way to contact me about it and then posted them back to me free of charge!I would highly recommend this inn and suggest you eat there when you stay.

Amagical and memorable eating experience conjured up by hosts Carol and Nigle Venner in an idyllic setting of 17th century inn at the foot of the beautifulQuantock Hills. I have eaten at many top restaurants and hotels, from the Ivy to the Ritz in London and some very good places in Somerset, but none can match the excellence of the cuisine on offer at the Castle of Comfort. Everything from the ambience, to the sparkling cleanliness, cheerful and attentive service adds to the joy of a visit to this brillioant establishment situated on the A39 at Dodington, between Bridgwater and Minehead. Don't deprive yourselves a second longer folk.

Food and service was superb, evening meal, breakfast and afternoon tea could not be faulted. We both found all aspects of the dining experince
