What a delightful place! The Castle Inn is a charming spot in Porlock, perfect for exploring the surrounding nature. The staff genuinely care and create a warm atmosphere, while the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The food is a standout feature, particularly the breakfast and evening meals. However, parking can be tricky, and the street noise might be a concern for light sleepers. Overall, it offers great value for money and a true village pub experience.

I recently stayed at The Castle in Porlock and had a lovely time. The room was spacious and modern, making it comfortable for our stay. The breakfast was decent, although the hot water for showers was a bit of an issue during our visit. Overall, the staff were exceptionally attentive and friendly, which really made a positive impression. I appreciated the good selection of food and ales available at the pub, though the inconvenient parking was a minor drawback.

The Castle is a charming spot to stay while visiting Porlock, offering a warm and friendly atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and well-furnished, making for a comfortable stay. I particularly enjoyed the freshly prepared breakfast, which set me up perfectly for a day's walking. However, the dining experience in the evening could benefit from some enhancements in food variety. Overall, it provides excellent value for money, but the bar area can get quite lively, which might not suit everyone.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, located in the heart of the village, making it perfect for exploring. The rooms were comfortable and nicely decorated, and the breakfast was excellent and freshly cooked. On the downside, parking can be tricky, especially if you're not lucky enough to find a spot directly outside. Overall, it offers great value for money, especially with the included breakfast.
