Rooms need upgrading
Both rooms we were going to stay in before we decided to leave were in a poor state of repair. Both rooms were damp with black mould. We understand it’s a very old property, however as I am Asthmatic I felt I couldn’t stay the night. The rooms just need some upgrade from the owner.

Excellent real ale country pub with rooms
Lovely real ale country pub with rooms. Very rustic but with all home comforts and little extras. Great view over countryside with cows grazing nearby. Breakfast freshly cooked and generous portions. Used as overnight stay following wedding at Crowcombe court (5 mins walk) but also great for walkers etc exploring the Exmoor area. Highly recommend

4 of us stayed at the Carew Arms for one night to break our journey. The best description is that there is no attempt to disguise or mask the pub's age or history, which is a definite plus. It has the feel of a pub that has stood at the heart of the village for 5 centuries, and still serves it's local community as it always has. The food is simple but hearty, and the snug bar is comfortable, with some excellent local ales. Recommended!

6/10 Good

This is a very old pub in a relatively poor state of repair. While I understand the difficulties associated with any attempt to modernise what is probably a listed building, there can be no excuse for the somewhat dilapidated state of the hotel. My room was clean and quite spacious, but in need of decoration and some design changes e.g. it needed at least one chair and a better place to hang one’s clothes. The bathroom was in an adjacent room and was clean and functional, but several of the fittings were damaged and needed repair or replacement. The breakfast was excellent and good value for money. The staff were all friendly and helpful. One guest had used the word “quirky” in the guest comments book. I certainly agree with that. It could be so much more.

Lovley old pub full of character, friendly family running it, good local bees and ciders, excellent food reasonably priced, as you would expect from the Routiers badge. A real find so we hope to return often. Yes, because it is old, the decor and things like the windows are far from modern, but who cares? We hate places that are spic and span, "perfect" or "luxury". If that's what you want, with impersonal obsequious service, go somewhere else.

Comfortable old pub in quiet location
A historic and picturesque pub and my room no.4 was spacious with an en-suite bathroom featuring a bath and shower. On a quiet street in the village with a large garden. I reported the hit tap in the wash basin was loose and 2 of 3 bulbs in the central light weren't working (I'm sure this will have been rectified quickly).

Very basic property in need of refurbishment not worth £90 per night, very small cramped rooms. Limited food choices

Charming historic pub in a stunning location. Lovely bed, nice food and great beer. The room was a little tatty - peeling wall paper etc - but given the age of the building and the very keen prices it's a compromise that is worth making. Top value.

So good we extended our stay!
Gorgeous hotel, ideal location, peaceful, tranquil and set within beautiful countryside... the beer garden is spacious, green, has ample benches and boasts wonderful views. The food is fantastic, breakfast and dinner and prices are very reasonable for food and drinks alike. The owners are friendly and helpful as are al the staff - very accommodating and nothing is too much trouble. There's even dog bisuits in plentiful supply - something very much appreciated by my collie. I love the character of the place, its extremeley good value and will certainly be returning.

Location is beautiful at anytime of year. The pub its self has a very old fashioned Game feel to it. Love how it’s kept its history and not moved with the times. Everything an old pub in a location like this should be. B&B was very comfortable and clean.
