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!

Just right for our short break.

Lovely Pub / B&B. Perfect for a short stay. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the full English breakfast was fabulous. The pub was full and lively both nights but with a room a few floors up it didn't bother us and was actually nice to see a pub busy with drinkers and guests . Room was clean and comfy. Would definitely stay again when in the area.
