Really lovely owners and bar staff, younger girl waitering in the evening was a bit miserable which stood out a bit as all the other staff were so lovely. The owners really look after you and are so accommodating, genuinely kind, nice people as we’re the bar staff. The room was clean and modern and perfect for our family stay of four, with young children aged 7 & 9. I can’t believe this is only a three star hotel, as it went way above this. The breakfast was really good as well. This is a lovely bar/hotel in the heart of the Village, it’s got a lovely warm, homely, safe atmosphere, with lovely people who obviously live locally going there as well as holiday makers from all over the place. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be staying again. Great location to see local areas of interest and price wise was a bargain in comparison to other place, we really landed on our feet here. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Loved our room!

We had a lovely room with a beautiful oriental bed and a balcony. The bed was more comfortable than ours at home! Staff were friendly and eager to see to our needs. Breakfast was very nice 😊

Comfortable base for hiking

The owners were really hospitable, breakfast was delicious. Prices in the bar were reasonable. Room was clean and comfortable with fabulous shower over the bath. Only small niggle was a slight dog odour when we arrived. On-street parking outside is unlimited after 6pm until 8am. Pay and display car parks nearby. Regular bus service into Minehead. Plenty of bridleway paths within easy reach of the hotel. Great base for first section of the South West Coast Path.

Nice spot to stay if walking the coast path

Very peaceful and enjoyable stay.for one night stopover whilst walking the SW Coast Path. Quick, easy, friendly check-in. Nice, quiet, refurbished room with excellent shower and comfy bed. Plug in bathroom sink didn't work properly. Excellent, freshly cooked breakfast and nice evening dinner at a reasonable price.

We have stayed at the Castle Inn quite a few times now and have always found it to be excellent, The staff are always very friendly and welcoming and go the extra mile to make sure you have a good stay. It is right in the heart of the village of Porlock and an excellent base to explore Exmoor! We will definitely be back!

A gem in a beautiful place

Wonderful experience, a very warm welcome. The staff are very friendly, the room and en-suite was a very good size. The breakfast was fantastic, we ate both nights here and the food was excellent and very well priced. The price of drinks was the very reasonable. Will definitely return.

The Castle is in a great location in the centre of Porlock. On arrival we were allocated a room but had to change to another as it wasn't in any fit state to stay in. Our second room was okay, a few high level cobwebs but generally clean. Breakfast again was okay. No orange juice, only one mushroom no matter how small, not many baked beans and just the one slice of toast. They don't do poached eggs either, only fried or scrambled. The tea and coffee was only warm as well. The bar is a good place to have a drink in the evenings though.
