Coombe House Hotel Restaurant in West Somerset

Great place for a relaxing break

We had a lovely room mid December for one night for a really fun function meeting many friends. It was a great evening and lovely food!

I stayed here for my Niece’s wedding 10 days ago and everything was absolutely superb. Amazing food, fabulous comfortable rooms and really excellent service. I will definitely make a point of visiting again. Very highly recommended.

Stayed for two nights with dinner on both night and breakfast each morning. Welcome & friendliness of staff throughout our stay could not be faulted; nice comfy room (yes, a little tired & dated, but very clean & comfortable). Food was very good, service, presentation & quality of ingredients all great. Wine list and variety OK but not great. Breakfast was very good and price vs quality excellent - really could not fault any of the food - always pipping hot and hot plates for hot food which is always a big tick! The hotel is remote and takes a little effort - winter it is great for nestling down and sitting by the fire, summer you would have walking from the front door into the Quantock hills... or venturing up to the coast & nearby Dunster too. Would certainly recommend.

We stayed here using Travelzoo voucher..Excellent value for money!Amazing meals and super friendly staff.Thank you

Combe House is tucked away off the A39. We visited as a result of an excellent value offer on Travelzoo. Our room was clean pleasant and quiet. The food was absolutely excellent and menu was enhanced by superb daily specials. We had cooked breakfast as part of our deal but I can understand customers not being happy with being charged extra for a sausage if not on the same deal. The staff were pleasant and polite but it would be fair to say their attention to detail wasn’t first class. Overall would give it 6 stars though as it was a brilliant, enjoyable stay.

Terrible service, very unfriendly staff, just ordered sandwiches, was not asked what l wanted, cheese and pickle on white bread which l hate, they were like doorstops, had to ask twice for coffee, felt like we were a nusicence to them will never go there again , very unfriendly

What a fabulous hotel. Excellent service and all the staff were friendly and went above and beyond to be helpful. Upon arrival I informed the reception staff that I was coeliac and for all my meals they remembered and offered me GF options. They even provided GF cereal in the mornings without being asked, which was a very nice touch and helped me feel heard. Only point would be that even though staff are very aware of GF dietary requirements, there was some confusion over breakfast items I could and couldn't have. One staff member said I could have the hash browns and after chomping them down happily, a second member nonchalantly stated I couldn't and wandered off oblivious to my immediate panic! Thankfully, the chef reassured me that the hash browns WERE GF so panic over! Very much enjoyed being served above and beyond and thankfully had no symptoms following my meals. GF food aside, the gardens are beautiful and the local walking is fabulous. We will definitely be returning.

Had dinners for 2 nights while staying in the hotel. The food was good,the service professional if a little cold on occasions.

I stayed here at the beginning of September 2021. The food was good first time around, although service was about as poor as it gets. The general approach at that time appeared to be "The answer's 'no'. What's the question?" My wife and I were in the location in September this year and we decided to stop off for afternoon tea. After all the food had been good year previously and I'd had memorable afternoon teas here before. The afternoon tea lived up to expectations and was absolutely fine, but my wife likes skimmed milk and I have semi-skimmed. We asked for a jug of each, but we were made to feel as if we had asked for something completely unreasonable. We had to make do with just semi-skimmed. That was OK. Presumably they didn't have any skimmed at the time, but it was the manner in which we were refused a jug of skimmed milk that was so surprising. It was quite abrupt. They forgot to bring the cutlery. We waited...and waited and then I gave up and went in search of elusive staff. No apology, just a curt "I have a lot of guests to serve. I'll bring them to you soon." In fairness, they did seem to be busy, but that's no excuse for rudeness and no excuse for not serving us properly when they served our afternoon tea to us. As others have done, I have found the manager's approach to give the impression that his guests should consider themselves lucky to be permitted to stay at his hotel. This seems to be reflected in many of his responses to guest reviews that point out matters that perhaps were not as good as they might have been expected to be. At the end of my last review I said I wouldn't return, but this hotel has an emotional tie for me from childhood holidays, which is why I brought my wife here for afternoon tea. No matter how much I feel an emotional tie I don't think I shall be returning to a hotel where I no longer feel welcome. Very sad.

Rode across the Quantocks to find the hotel. Guest stables were closed, but we sat outside and the horse grazed while we had a drink and a Ciabatta. Friendly staff.

We started a long Quantocks walk from Holford and made a last minute decision to have dinner here. We weren't residents. Food and service were excellent. Place is highly recommended.

Stayed two nights in October. Attractive, secluded location Conservatory room excellent for travellers with dogs. Very pleasant room and bathroom. Big comfortable bed. .Staff were were welcoming and helpful. Dinner excellent with changing options. Breakfast choice were good and quality was excellent. Good wi fi but location meant that mobile signal was almost non-existent

My husband and I took our elderly Mums to stay 2 nights. We cannot fault the hotel everything was perfect. The food was amazing and the staff could not do enough for us , the rooms were very comfortable and the location of the hotel was so peaceful. We will definitely recommend Combe House to friends and relatives.

Driving up from the public car park where you can walk the dog in the woods before lunch The overall first impression of this hotel was what a lovely location for a country hotel. We parked and with our cocker in tow made for the reception desk. I had booked a table for two with a dog but was told that they hadn't got the booking with a dog only a table for two. We were then shown to a table beside a window. A woman rudely pushed by me stating she wanted the table and had booked it during the week. My booking was made nearly two weeks previously! After some discussion between the staff we were told the table was ours and she was taken to another table. We went to sit only to find a loudspeaker right behind my chair playing music. I requested we be moved or, at least that the music was turned off. We were told this was the only table they had and again that they hadn't expected the dog! I did have a dog after all who needed somewhere to sit in peace. The food when it came was hot but my husband's lamb was very dry and overcooked. There was a poor selection of whiskeys. Overall the worst experience we have had in Somerset where eating establishments are concerned.

This was the first time we'd been to Coombe House Hotel. It was in a beautiful out of the way spot and the buildings had a lovely ambience. Being a Monday we found most other pubs and restaurants were shut, so we thought we'd give this one a try given it was a hotel and it was our wedding anniversary. The wine and the starters were great (scallops and the ham hock terrine). However, when the steaks came they were pretty small for £25 and worse, 50% of mine and a good 33% of my husband's was actually inedible gristle ( and he can usually eat anything!). The meat part was tough and tasteless, so much so we weren't entirely convinced they were actually anything more than from a bit of low quality brisket. The chef would have clearly known the bad quality of this meat before he cooked it, but then he/she would presumably have been responsible for ordering meat from regular suppliers. No supermarket I've ever been to would have attempted to sell such a visibly poor quality cut at ANY price, let alone try to charge £25 per head for it! Quite shocking. The nice waiter however appeared to be very used to such observations and immediately said he wouldn't charge us for it. Likewise, the next door table weren't charged for their bottle of wine because they had to send their main courses back to be reheated because they came out cold, but they also told us that they weren't happy with the quality of the chicken and the tuna they'd been given after hearing us talk with the waiter. Apart from the main courses though, everything else was fine, but one can't help wondering where on Earth they source their way below par meat from. It rather spoiled the evening for us, so I'm afraid we won't be rushing back.

Really can't praise this place enough. Friendly staff and good food, what more do you need? Special mention to Aimee for going the extra mile and arranging a birthday bouquet at short notice. This is very much a place for the outdoorsy type with lots of great walking in the area; fortunately the weather was kind to us.

My first visit. Very welcoming, comfortable and an excellent base to explore the Quantocks. Delicious food, all the staff very helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. I'll be back. Thank you

smallest en suite ever encountered booked direct with hotel as discount offers not available ended up paying £212 including Wi Fi charge (who pays extra even get free period at travel lodge) for Bed breakfast and an average evening meal for one night. Quirky yes value for money NO

Bathroom not fit for purpose, no window or extraction, shower no usable. Owner of property apologised but did nothing to improve things. Not a good experience.

Fish slate starter was superb. The main course, belly pork dish was lovely though the pork itself was a little dry. The Belgian chocolate dessert was both decadent and delicious. And for me the fact that dogs are allowed was a bonus. I will definitely return.

Having read the reviews we were looking forward to a decent meal in the hotel restaurant but, to put it mildly, it was, overall, extremely disappointing. The cold fish platter to start was of generous proportions but the abundant crayfish were wet & tasteless. However, this starter proved to be the best part of the meal! My wife had the fish dish of the day but the Hake, when it arrived, was overcooked, dry and seemingly old - as if it had been cooked and then warmed up some time later. The accompanying new potatoes were soggy and tasted old - as if they'd been kept in the fridge and then re-heated. The slow cooked pork that I had was a generous portion and the skin was crisp (though surprisingly not bubbly) but some of the flesh was very, very chewy and tasted old - again as if it had been cooked some time before, kept in the fridge and then re-heated. To finish of this very disappointing meal we thought we'd have an espresso coffee to revive our taste buds. This was a grave mistake as the coffee was disgusting - just a dark, very bitter apology for the real thing. Sorry restaurant but you could certainly do better.

Fantastic. All and I mean all the staff we came across were superb. All really helpful, attentive and friendly. Food brilliant, room good.

Location 5 star, hotel is 3 star, prices are 4 star, guests never like being caught out by the hidden extras.

After reading other reviews I am trying hard to fathom out what happened when we visited this little hidden gem. Beautiful setting on the edge of the Quantock Hills, with amazing views of the Bristol Channel, Cardiff Bay and beyond. However, I feel compelled to write about our experience. We were visiting the area and noticed a deal so it was perfect to try out this lovely place and celebrate our friend’s birthday. The rooms were quaint with lovely decor but the wardrobe, bed and chest of drawers seemed to be held up on corners with bits of wood, which in fairness could be quite dangerous. Linen and room very clean, but we had to make our own beds and dispose of our towels outside the room and complete a list for anything we needed replacing. Unfortunately, although the towels were clean, they smelt of greasy cooking. The bathroom was a bit tired in corners with missing skirting board plus old mastic and gaps. The shower didn’t work properly and wasn’t a drench but a big drip and we struggled to get it working correctly, it was either scolding hot or freezing cold. The radiators were freezing so we asked if they could be sorted. The owner disguised in a mask said they needed bleeding as we were at the end of the building, which was strange as we were over the reception and main building. These should have been bled prior to any guest arriving. Food was great and cooked well with good presentation, however the cooked breakfast that you had to pay for by item got smaller as the days went on. We paid for Bed & Breakfast for 3 nights and a complimentary glass of prosecco to go with the first night’s dinner. The menu was good but rather small if you are staying for 3 nights and only eat fish. The fish was changed every night but the potatoes and sauce and veg stayed the same. The staff were good and polite and attentive but seemed very busy and quite young. After the first night and second morning we were evicted to the over flow room alone. One morning at breakfast we were asked what cooked breakfast we would like before we all had even sat down and got to the self-service Continental breakfast as the chef went home at 10am? It seemed if you had a deal, you were moved out of the main restaurant quite promptly. It may have been that we laughed a lot and the others were dead miserable and you were worried to make a noise or use the pepper grinder or crunch your toast (which needed to be replaced as it took around 5-8minutes to produce a slice). After dinner and breakfast, the items were cleared away very promptly apart from your own dirty crockery ready for the next evening or breakfast sitting. You couldn’t really relax as you felt you were in the way. Our friends had all the same experiences so it wasn’t just us being fussy. After paying near on £500 for 3 days, you expect a little more love. One day whilst out sightseeing we tried to call to book our evening table, the phone must have rung off at least four times so we then emailed but it still wasn’t booked. The final straw was at check out when they said it’s our fault that we didn’t ask for the free glass of prosecco for 4 guests (with the first evening meal) and would not honour it by taking one of the 4 bottles that we had purchased off the bill. The management would not even come out to speak to us which was very poor considering we were now making a complaint. The deal they advertised was a free glass of prosecco and they didn’t stick to their offer. It is complete nonsense that we should have to remind staff of the deal as they should be aware, and if anything should be offering this to us. We also noticed that there were no staff at reception when anyone was waiting to be seated or checked in. As we walked out of the main entrance door the dog mess was still there from the night before which was there to greet the next lucky guest. It is such a shame as all of this is just sloppiness and could be easily remedied with a little TLC for your paying guest but seemed penny pinching and ruined what should have been an amazing mini break.

Dog friendly hotel at the base of Quantoch Hills. Perfect for us

We visited on a spur of the moment well we booked about 2hrs in advance , the food, service and environment where delightful very quiet and the staff very pleasant will definitely be visiting again soon fingers crossed the the serlion will still be on...

Absolutely amazing place and they made it the perfect romantic getaway. Perfect place to spend quality time together.

Warm friendly hotel. Very helpful staff and a chef who produces wonderful tasty food well presented.

Last minute booking as part of a deal, and did not disappoint. We finally managed to find a date where three of us could get together to celebrate our brother's birthday. The food was included and really well presented with a good level of choice. Our rooms were lovely, characterful, and beds extremely comfortable. The service was excellent. The icing on the cake for us was a morning walk leaving directly from the hotel. Lovely spot.

Excellent food. Well done chef!! Presented well and wonderfully tasty. (as was breakfast) Need minor attention to ensure the breakfast buffet is stocked.

A lovely little hotel tucked away a few miles outside Bridgewater. The hotel is cosy and welcoming, and on our arrival, and for our 2 night stay was attended too by lovely helpful staff. Our evening meal on the first night in the restaurant was delicious, along with their breakfast both mornings, again all the breakfasts were cooked fresh. They have a fairly good range of beers and ciders, along with a good range of gins. Our room was spotlessly clean with both a large shower and huge corner bath. A little gem we shall visit again next summer.

Friendly staff, good rooms, excellent food and a great location for walking and visiting the coast.

Fabulous. Comfortable throughout. Lovely room fantastic food and made to feel very welcome. Lovely and peaceful. Would definitely return

A fabulous weekend spent in this lovely hotel and its beautiful surrounding scenery. Our ensuite room was warm, cosy and quiet with the most comfortable bed. The food was excellent every time, served by cheerful and attentive staff. Thanks to all of this and the lovely hosts, we returned home feeling as though we'd had a week long holiday. We would thoroughly recommend a visit.

Been this weekend for my nieces wedding, The staff where so helpful the grounds well maintained. The weather held for us all so the service was magical and the reception in the marquee was extremely well equiped

We had the most fantastic stay. Beds clean and comfortable. Great restaurant. The food was cooked fresh and well priced.Staff were helpful and friendly. Beautiful location. Will definitely be staying again.

Lovely hotel with comfortable rooms and beautiful grounds. Very friendly, attentive staff. Food was excellent. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing place, awesome cream teas in really beautiful grounds, quiet and serene. Amazing food and drink. Perfect wedding venue or for a romantic weekend. Family friendly good for children.

Loved our stay very quiet and peaceful. Food excellent

Great hotel in fabulous setting. Host, Gareth was so accommodating and brilliant, managing & providing for our large group of 16 very well. A very dry and entertaining sense of humour 😁. Evening meals were fabulous, so tasty. Highly recommend the seafood slate starter. Breakfast...

I feel a very important part of a hotel stay is the welcome and it was rather luke warm at this one! Cute hotel set in the wonderful Quantock Hills, so ideal spot for walking. Our room was a bit disappointing (just felt a bit...

Quaint country hotel. Staff very accommodating and food excellent. I would definitely recommend this place. Great woodland walks from the hotel too.

Warm welcome from a young lady on the 1st day . Rooms clean and functional, bar prices reasonable and food good. The only down side was you had to pay for a cooked breakfast,the continental breakfast was a bit sparse and a lot which I did not like or take my fancy so it had to be cooked.

Just had late lunch, but what a great lunch. Outside in the garden, under a tree, it was perfect, and the food was genuinely memorable. Excellent service too.

Great location, friendly staff and a delicious Cream Tea! 😋

Perfect evening sitting in the cool garden of the Combe House Hotel. Gorgeous food and drinks enjoyed near a bubbling brook surrounded by trees, the air is so good. Catherine and Gareth lovely hosts plus their super hospitality team. Thank you as always.

This hotel should easily be 5 star! Everything about it is perfection. It is a hidden gem, with well maintained, beautiful grounds, ample outdoor seating by a trickling stream as well as a cosy indoor bar, separate lounge and dining areas with beautiful furnishings throughout. The service is impeccable and the food was delicious throughout our stay. The owner always takes the time to speak to the guests and makes the experience feel much more personal. We will definitely recommend the hotel to all our friends and family and will be coming back ourselves soon!

First stay for us. An ideal location for walkers. Particularly dog friendly. Exception food which was a real bonus. Would recommend.

Lovely hotel, friendly staff and quiet location.

Lovely service and a yummy cream tea

Excellent location for a relaxing holiday.

Beautiful setting, very efficient and fast service, food was excellent.

Really tasty food. Lovely part of the world and great service. Thanks

Comfortable and relaxing. Great location for long walks. Can't wait to go back.

Sitting in the garden for refreshments after a beautiful walk on the quantocks perfect

Excellent food, relaxed atmosphere, well furnished and comfortable bedrooms

Hidden away in the beautiful Quantock hills, such a gem!

Really lovely hotel at the foot of the Quantocks...food was very good, staff very helpful and friendly and we felt we were in a safe environment...plenty of room so social distancing was easy. Will definitely be back.

Excellent food and accommodation

Unable to travel abroad due to Covid. My husband booked the hotel for 3 nights. I’m impressed where it is situated. Very secluded & peaceful. Our room is overlooking stunning views. Its has a strict protocol to COVID guidelines which included our own dining table...

Lovely stop off for tea hot chocolate and the biggest piece of flapjack ever

Nice clean hotel, welcome dogs. At the base of the Quantocks.

This restaurant serves high quality food with a smile. Service is very good. Cannot fault and will return.

Friendly staff, lovely setting, very comfy room and really good food. Would come again and have just booked to return to this lovely hotel. Dog friendly in all areas except the restaurant. Great for walks as you have direct access onto the Quantock Hills. Highly recommended.

Delicious Sunday roast . Excellent menu. Lovely safe atmosphere.social Distancing every where. Felt very comfortable.

The staff and food are very good but it spoils itself with all the extras at an additional cost, room was very spacious.

stopped there on afternoon walk - sat in the lovely gardens - great service and cake - Covid Safe and Friendly at same time

Amazing people, great staff and good food. Breakfast is understandably a bit disappointing but in the current climate a good and safe solution to the alternative and preferred buffet. Dinners excellent. Room nice and clean but shower abysmal. Comedy temperature fluctuations and unstable. Guidance from team was ' to ensure was switched on.'... Lol. Maintenance person entered room whilst in dinner and apart from muddy footprints (which we cleaned) made no difference. A wonderful hotel and great experience.... Just a naff shower.

Evening meals are excellent and in these trying times our breakfast was cooked to order which you can choose when arriving at a pre-timed time

Friendly people and generally good room. A couple of small things which could easily be changed really let the experience down though. Room: shower was weedy electric one which didn’t work that well Food: evening roast was recycled lunch so roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were chewy and tired. Also breakfast could be dramatically improved by proper orange juice and nice coffee, instead of the cheapest possible version of both. ... and staff should taste the food so they can advise customers what different options are like.

Friendly owners, very nice breakfast, dog friendly, nicely decorated throughout

Great service, Covid measures done really well. Really nice breakfast. The location of the hotel is beautiful. Our room was spacious, nicely decorated and comfortable. We had everything we needed. We will definitely be back :-)

Delicious food in a lovely environment. Great selection of food, wine and gin, relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, very friendly and professional waitresses. Felt very safe due to their COVID measures too. Would definitely visit again

Lovely stay at Combe House Hotel....fantastic location...friendly staff...stunning bedroom...superb food...all in all a wonderful stay!!

The food was nice and the service from the waiting staff was really good. However, I felt that for a week's stay at the hotel, having the same limited menu each evening meant not much choice, given the price tag. I also found the background...

Very beautiful location and premises. Very tranquil and perfect place for a function or small wedding. Went for a high tea and cream tea combo. The only reason for the 4* review is because we asked for water as we were seated outside in 28 degree heat and we had to ask twice before it arrived. Also, it is very expensive for not a lot of food. Luckily we had 50% off due to the eat out to help out scheme, but I dont think I'd return for those prices for the high tea, but possibly return for a look at their menu. Very soreen and quiet.

Would thoroughly recommend the restaurant as the food was superb. We stayed for two nights and ate at the hotel both nights and were not disappointed.

What a lovely few days we’ve had at Combe House Hotel! Just what I needed, after a stressful time in work! We were staying in one of the garden suites, which was very modern and spacious. The food was beautiful with a good selection of...

We had Sunday lunch here the first weekend after the hotel had reopened. They were not doing evening meals, but offered sunday lunch aided by nice weather. The meal was satisfactory without being outstanding. They did have a lot of customers, which may have affected their ability too cope with the numbers.

The hotel is a former water mill with a crinkly roofline - our bedroom floor matched this & sloped off in different directions. We enjoyed a lovely hill walk on on our first evening, which led us through woodland to the heather covered hills above - with fine views of the River Severn.The staff were all polite & friendly - although stingy on milks for coffee. (On the first morning, we asked for 8 pots & received 4 - this was sufficient for just 2 drinks.) Our first floor room - with our dog - was light enough, with a pleasant view across the grounds. We had our personal helicopter in the bathroom - the fan was very noisy & stayed on c 1/2 hour after turning the light off. The shower was the smallest I have ever encountered (42 cm square), with a fixed ceiling head. Consequently, a hair wash came for free on entry. In addition, turning to wash my feet in the cramped space, caused me to knock the shower lever onto hot.Overall the room and linen were all clean.If you live on tech, WiFi in the Hotel was very limited & we could only make phone calls from the car park.Cooked breakfast was a well balanced mix. The veggie cooked breakfast was better than the average - nice to have halloumi cheese instead of the usual boring veg sausage.

Hidden up a small road this hotel is a gem. Lovely staff and wonderful food. The gardens out the front are well kept and fullness interesting plants. We stayed in room 19 which had its own conservatory. We had a lovely comfy large bed and tea and coffee making facilities. Unfortunately our room was underneath a room with very noisy floorboards and did disturb us alot in the mornings

Unable to comment on stay as couldn't book as wouldn't reply to emails. Very discourteous and unprofessional.

We stayed at this delightful hotel tucked away in Holford for 3 days in late February. Our room was unique but with everything we needed for our stay,tucked away under the eves of this Hotel formerly a mill. The staff were friendly and helpful with lots of local knowledge, the bar area is cosy and easy to chat to other guests. Food is mostly locally sourced, we bumped into the butcher delivering supplies! We enjoyed the menu choices especially the special board.We came during the week as by Friday it was much busier with a different atmosphere.

Staff not well and unhygienic. Not responsible with whats going on right now and now Im showing symptoms and self isolating. Ridiculous

We had a great stay at Combe House, lovely atmosphere and staff, dogs are welcome to stay also 🙂. The food is excellent, and they have a well stocked bar. Rooms are clean fresh and bright.

Staying for one night, we needed to check in slightly earlier than the 15:00 hour stated so we requested it. When we did arrive at 13:30 we were charged £20 for an early check in. The hotel appeared to have few guests. WiFi was at an extra cost in the room, a cooked breakfast was also at an extra cost. The breakfast itself [continental] was sparse and not very good. All things considered not worth the £101 bill for one night

lovely spot, great rooms breakfast is nice shame you pay extra for any cooked breakfast also check if you have poached eggs they are not cooked in vinegar mine were rubbery but otherwise delicious food and surroundings worth a visit particularly with all the nearby walks and the coastal path

Cold good on cold plates - tasteless - shame it's in a beautiful location

Great location with lovely staff, accommodation and superb food.

Hidden gem with stunning walks and views. Friendly staff and amazing food! Would definitely visit again ☺️

Lovely room. Very relaxing. Attentive staff. Wonderful food. Would stay again.

Apart from the grounds amd the area, we have nothing good to say about this place. Supposed to have stayed in a higher premium room which did NOT reflect the standard of the outside of the building. There was an earwig on the sleeve of the dressing gown, if it is warm make sure you ask for a fan. Do not expect to have anything for breakfast other than cereal or toast for anything under £6 (porridge). Room apparently had an enclosed garden for the dog, no there wasnt and we were told most people lock their dogs in a crate so that the doors to the garden can be left open. Made a substantial complaint back in September and unfortunately after receiving a pointless response 2 wks later we have been ignored since. Absolutely disgusting service, we were recommended this place but have to state categorically that the inside of this building and the service does not warrant the amount of stars given on the outside of the building. Definitely not worth it

Dropped in from a walk on the Quantocks with our four dogs.... there is a really great dog-friendly bar area where we enjoyed an amazing cream tea, with the most delicious warm scones, yum ! Have been for lunch on previous visits with dogs and enjoyed that just as much, great homemade food and scrummy cakes. Highly recommend this lovely place especially if you have dogs, always a very warm welcome and great food

Really lovely place, was there for a wedding party and everything was great!

Stopped for dinner after a nice walk food was good & well priced.

We stayed for 2 nights in late October 19. Our room was small but we'll appointed and had everything we needed. A major plus for us was that the hotel is dog friendly. The food was hot, flavoursome and well prepared. The chef cooks tasty food without any pretence. On the first night we had chicken and seared pork. Both dishes were very well presented and ate well. Wines and beer are available and if good quality and reasonably priced. The second night we both had a roast lamb meal and it was well prepared, presented and tasty. The walls from the hotel were a major plus for us and walking up the the combe to the common on top was about 4 miles round trip. Spectacular views from the top. Two groups of local deer made the walk even better.

Situated up a narrow road in Holford the hotel stands out in a picturesque area. The interior is a mixture of modern traditional and boutique. Friendly staff, a nice small bar area where you can have a drink of local gins before food. Two generous slices of roast sirloin of beef. Tasty gravy, jus, very crisp potatoes perfectly cooked. The yorkshire pud was crisp but hollow with unusual batter. Shredded cabbage, coated and crispy fried parsnip with roast veg. Home made horseradish. Warm plates, good wine and lovely decor. £12.50 for the roast. A lovely meal.

Welcoming and friendly staff made us and our dog feel very relaxed on a two night break. Can breakfast and dine with dogs in the bar... dog even gets a sausage for breakfast! Wonderful location for walking on Quantocks without car and great to return to cream tea, good food and comfy bed.

Tucked away this property is in a lovely location. We stayed for a wedding and couldn’t fault service and food was lovely! If I was in the area I would make a visit!
