Overview
Property code: OC-C30194

Get set for days of wonderful walkies with your furry companions when you stay at this historic property. With space for large groups of either families or friends, it’s set within the beautiful Quantock Hills. When you want to relax at home, there’s an enclosed garden where dogs and children can play while you soak in the hot tub or (in summer) swim a length or two of the pool.

This fabulous getaway is perfect for special celebrations. Gather around the bar in the lounge – a reminder that this 17th-century house was once a hotel – for an evening of relaxation, or nestle into one of the sofas with pups at your feet. Superb kitchen facilities include a double oven and two fridge/freezers. The dining room has space for 17, and also on the ground floor is a family shower room.

Fabulous house, ideal for large family or friends groups. We had two weeks with three separate groups of folk joining us. All loved house, comfy beds, great having two dishwashers, two ovens, two fridges. They were needed! Location fab, gardens and woodland great. The housekeeping team came in for a changeover of our guests and we really appreciateRead mored that. And Adam was great fun and helpful and unloaded all our Tesco delivery (we broke down at Stonehenge and missed our delivery slot ) so very grateful for Adam! Wish I could live there Hide

Fantastic, warm and comfortable accommodation for our large family group (ages from 3-70). It was lovely to have all bedrooms en-suite. The games room, jaccuzzi and sauna were very popular and enjoyed by all of us. Very easy access and parking was a bonus.

A party of 13 adults and 2 dogs who all enjoyed their stay at The Castle of Comfort; a very quirky house that was more like staying in a hotel but having sole use. Parking is plentiful, there is much to see and do in the area - we would recommend, without reservation.

Thank you so much for your magnificent house. Stayed 8th-15th August 2025, 17 family members and our dog Bailie to celebrate my wifes 60th Birthday. The house was brilliant, bar area and seating was perfect for chats, games and get togethers. Dinning room easily sat us all with an amazing kitchen fully equipped for all cooking needs, we brought twoRead more air flyers and a blender which made it easier. Fully stocked plates etc. glasses, cuttlery etc. so we had amazing meals, all sat together as a family which was, as we wanted it to be. All bedrooms were amazing, with on-suites and fitted everybodys needs. Two bedrooms are out of the back door but these were perfect as they were on ground level for anyone, as we had with vision and mobility issues. And then the pool, although not heated was very warm, with the hot tub and sauna which was perfect and made it hard to leave the house to venture out and finally leave on the last day. The hill at the back leading up to the pergola with the amazing views was such a relaxing addition and the games room was also great. All together we had an amazing time, fully exceeding all expectations, we fully recommend this house as a holiday to make memories as we all have done. Hope to come back regards and thanks, John and Debbie. Hide
