This is a lovely old house on the edge of the gem of the small town of Axbridge. The house has individual rooms, individually decorated and positioned. Our South Room was clean, light and airy, with a very comfortable double bed. Patricia, the host, was so helpful and thoughtful. Even though we had an early leave in order to catch a flight, she provided us with tea and coffee at 0630! What a star!

Such a lovely place to stay, the house is so interesting. Patricia the owner made us feel really welcome and the standard of everything provided was very high. Everything we could have asked for was provided, so many little touches which showed care and attention to detail. Great breakfast with lots of local produce and really comfortable room.

Beautiful B&B with great history and character

A beautiful B&B with such lovely character and history. Patricia was a fabulous host and made us a beautiful breakfast, all locally sourced. Axbridge is a lovely location and only a five minute walk to the local pubs & shops. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

The house was beautiful and the host fabulous. The location is really good too only being a few miles away from Cheddar and 12 miles away from Western Super Mare. There's a couple of pubs in the medieval square that sell good food and only a 5 minute walk from Compton House.

Incredible Place with a fantastic host.

Patricia was wonderful. Made us feel exceptionally welcome. On arrival we were even offered a complimentary local ale (which was delicious). The room was cute, clean and as you would expect from a house that's approaching it's 400th birthday. If we're ever down that way again, we'll be staying there.

Dog friendly and luxurious accommodation!

As dog owners we are used to the back room but not in this occasion! A beautifully comfortable room, fluffy towels and immaculate linen combined with old world charm in this beautiful house, made for a most comfortable stay. Our dog was made most welcome too and had plenty of room for his bed. An excellent night’s sleep was rounded off by the most plentiful breakfast I’ve ever had! Fresh fruit, granola and yoghurt followed by a beautifully cooked English breakfast, local cheese and bread and home baked cake and flapjacks. Needless to say, I gave it all a go! Local pub (Crown) within walking distance for tasty eveniing meal. 5* without hesitation.
