Reviews for Alcombe House Hotel

Review 1：An absolute pleasure to stay in this beautifully renovated and decorated B and B. A credit to the owners. All little comforts were thought of and nothing was too much trouble. If we lived in the UK we would definitely be staying again!

Review 2：Nothing.

Review 3：A lovely hotel, with great attention to detail in decor, comfort and cleanliness. Delicious, freshly cooked breakfast . The owners can be justly proud of what they have achieved in the hotel.

Review 4：The host was very friendly and helpful, proactively supporting us in planing our vacation. It wasn't like staying in a hotel, but rather like at home, where all the rooms were also very tastefully decorated. House and garden are beautifully taken care of down to the details. Highly recommended!

Review 5：Everything from the small gardens patio area, hall entrance, spotlessly clean room and bathroom with added little extra's to numerous to mention. Not forgetting the hearty English breakfast along with the all round friendly service with a smile from the owners who care about customer satisfaction. Alcombe House Hotel is highly recommended for a stay.

Review 6：Would prefer a Kingsize bed, but to be fair we got what we paid for its just a personal preference.

Review 7：Beautifully appointed place, staff exceptionally nice and the breakfast is as good as it gets!

Review 8：The bed looked lovely but the mattress was too firm for us

Review 9：Friendly, helpful, clean, fresh and light interior, lovely decor, quiet room, beautiful gardens, spacious, airy room and comfortable chairs. Great breakfast with good variety (to suit all tastes).

Review 10：All of it, Very clean and nice hotel,well placed in a quiet area. A lot of thought has gone into the hotels presentation and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Review 11：I know it`s nothing to do with the hotel, but in Minehead itself it was a Butlins "adult weekend" and the town was not quite the place for a pleasant ramble around.

Review 12：The quality of the rooms, the very friendly owner and the general ambience, very good value indeed.

Review 13：The style and cleanliness of the whole place and the attention to detail. The breakfast was really lovely and the staff really lovely as well, they even phoned to say that my daughter had left a pair of earrings behind when we left.

Review 14：The weather , as we could not sit out in the garden area.

Review 15：The bedroom was very relaxing . Attention to detail was superb. Little things that annoy you in some hotels were pre- considered.

Review 16：I could feel the bed spring in the mattress. Although I agreed to the change of room as an elderly guest found having to go up two steps and then down four steps into the bathroom a bit tedious. Would have preferred a small table and 2 chairs to no table and a small settee.

Review 17：very clean, owners very friendly. The owner gave me my own pot of tea and tea bags after I complained about the brand of tea, which was too rich for my taste. He also put some different tea bags in our room.

Review 18：Our only criticism was the size of the double bed.....it felt on the small side, but was comfortable nonetheless!!

Review 19：A lovely weekend spent in beautifully presented surroundings (outside & in)with helpful & friendly attention when required....to be recommended

Review 20：Unfortunately, very smal bed, regular double, but far too small for large room .

Review 21：Helpful friendly staff, good location, quality decor. Proximity to Dunster Cadtle and village .

Review 22：Nothing to do with the property but sometimes returning late (after 10pm) parts of the route were quite dark with poor street lighting and we changed our route.

Review 23：We stayed here because we were attending Spring Harvest which was a short 10-15 minute walk away. The breakfasts were plentiful and there were a choice of supermarkets nearby for you to purchase snacks.

Review 24：wi-fi ran slow and kept dropping out on the first day

Review 25：Nothing to really fault apart from slow wi-fi Good location, excellant breakfast would recommend

Review 26：The friendliness of the staff and quiet comfort of the hotel. It's convenient location too. I look forward to returning in the future when I can avail myself of the lovely garden in more clement weather too.

Review 27：The manager was kind considerate. He took my bags up the stairs and brought them down again the following morning. He also made breakfast half an hour early to accommodate my interview time. I would highly recommend this beautiful hotel.

Review 28：Bed perhaps a little on the small side, TV definitely on the small side.

Review 29：Fantastic bathroom in deluxe room, welcome and attentiveness of staff, christmas gift!

Review 30：Nothing

Review 31：A beautiful house, beautifully "dressed." Comfortable, warm. Dinner and special afternoon tea delicious and reasonably priced. The hosts could not have been more welcoming and attentive.

Review 32：The ticking clock on the wall as I,m a light sleeper. Not necessary as had an alarm clock.

Review 33：The view was wonderful. Having 2 recliner chairs to relax in was a bonus. Plenty of space. Breakfast was excellent and provided soya milk for me.

Review 34：We were lucky to be upgraded to a superior room which was very comfortable, spacious and quiet. The breakfast was very good and the garden the owners have created also added to the impact of the excellent facilities.

Review 35：Nothing to dislike with this establishment!

Review 36：Very friendly proprietor who could not do enough to help. Super breakfast and a good sized room with very comfortable beds

Review 40：Lots of character. Room very clean and nicely decorated. Attention to detail. Exactly as you see it on the web. Food excellent. A lovely change from the standard chain hotels. Staff very friendly and helpful, would definitely go back again.

Review 41：Everything was thoughtfully, carefully and well done. Attention was paid to details, such as for instance toothpicks on the dining table and a slice of fresh orange in the jug of orange juice at breakfast - little things, that demonstrated care and thoughtfulness. The bedroom was of a good size and it and the adjoining bathroom were well appointed. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. Frank and Joe were very pleasant and helpful. The whole package was superb. .

Review 42：Grab rail by front door to would be nice. Also one in the shower. Otherwise all was delightful

Review 43：Decor of rooms and hotel was lovely. Breakfast very nice. Liked the fact that there were plenty of hangers in the wardrobe, and china cups and saucers. Would certainly recommend your hotel.

Review 44：Nothing, it was all excellent

Review 45：We have just returned from four delightful days in the Alcombe House Hotel and would like to say how much we enjoyed our stay. Frank kept us entertained with his cheery banter and Joe kept our taste buds entertained with the wonderful food! Truly excellent hotel, highly recommended

Review 46：My only constructive criticism, to get 10/10 is to improve the wifi, I couldn't always find it, and when I did it would flicker in and out.

Review 47：I liked everything about my stay, Frank was very helpful and friendly, breakfast was amazing, rooms were lovely, parking was right outside and Free wifi!

Review 48：The pleasant-enough dinner at £30 per head for 3 courses and coffee was over-priced.

Review 49：Frank and Joe have created a warm and friendly environment in which to spend a few days exploring this lovely part of the country. Their attention to detail is meticulous ensuring that everything in the bedroom is in the right place and works efficiently. The garden is a delight. The wine list is well-chosen and well-priced and the breakfast of good quality.

Review 50：We were very pleased with the room, the garden was pretty and a car park on site. Easy to find on main road very friendly staff, very good breakfast.

Review 51：Frank was excellent inevery respect, before we arrived I let him know my wife was lactose intolerant, he assured me this wouldn'y be a problem - it wasn't - he even had lactose free milk in our room (for a cup of tea) - no one else has ever done this before - brilliant!!

Review 52：Situated on quite a busy road but did not deter from our experience.

Review 53：Very well maintained house & gardens. Attention to detail with homely touches & good quality crockery & cutlery in the lovely dining room. Breakfast faultless & service excellent. Hotel spotless in all areas. Proprietors very welcoming & friendly.

Review 54：The house itself, decor and finishing touches. My room was large and comfortable with a brilliant view (Room 2). All areas spotless. Breakfast nice and fresh.

Review 55：Would have liked breakfast to finish at 10 at the weekend rather than 9.30.

Review 56：We enjoyed the quiet and restful atmosphere. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the breakfast was extremely tasty. Would definitely return and recommend to others.

Review 57：The attention to detail was excellent. The room spacious and comfortable. Breakfast excellent. Ensuite was roomy and so clean. Will stay again when in minehead.
