The Carew Arms

Visited this pub and decided to stay for dinner. Lovely pub. Had skittles in one side of the pub. Along with individual stables where dining tables were. We ate in the main dining room. Has a big garden too. The food was lovely I had a steak which was cooked perfectly. Would definitely return.

Had a lovely walk on the Quantocks . Followed by most enjoyable lunch, a sharing plate. very friendly people excellent service . Look forward to our next visit, has a lovely beer garden as well. A perfect place to stop after a walk on the hills………..

Run down and grubby room. Broken window panel covered with tape, cobwebs in every corner, bad plumbing, and stains on the curtains. Was not as advertised and the usual £80 per night was upped to £103 which was far too much. Very disappointed.

Not recomended On arrival the outside impresion was poor not clean tatty paint with similar apearance inside.the room booked was an en suite double the room was generally ok.warm decorated ok.no desk or chairs and the bathroom un connected and down the hall ! And very cold with no heater.evening meal average with only just warm soup returning to my room for a rest after working all day i was confronted with a rock group practising below very loudly for 2 hours unaceptable for a £70 + £12 breakfast room.not suprising people ditch these places in favour of premier inns and there type the place needs a refurb in public areas and heating.breakfast was ok.coffee poor restaurant cold.staff dont seem to bother very much

Amazing welcome, couldn't of hoped for a better reception, everyone was very friendly. Got to try a cider we wasn't sure about. Food was delicious and generous helpings. Cannot fault anything, will definitely be coming back again A* service

Terrible, do not visit. The room (number 3) was very damp, cold (no heating) , dirty and neglected. The beds weren't made up and the pillows and duvet were a stained yellow. We did not stay as the room was not habitable. We booked in for one night to attend a nearby wedding venue. The idea was to enjoy a drink at the wedding venue and travel home next day after a cosy night at the Carew Arms, but not so. Had to leave wedding early, and not have a drink and drive home. The whole occasion was ruined by the neglect at the Carew Arms.

My family and I have been to the Carew Arms a few times in resent years and have always enjoyed it. It's a lovely old pub and you can feel the history of the place, its a bit run down in place its true but they are making changes and doing a bit of work on it, it also has a lovely outside garden for the summertime. The staff are always lovely and attentive adding to the overall good vibes of the place. Last Sunday we went for lunch and it was so good I decided a review was needed. Three of us had the roast beef, which were excellent, very good portion size and the vegetables were cooked perfectly, quiet often with the vegetables at pubs especially on a Sunday they are over cooked to the point you can't really tell what they are, but not so here. Great cauliflower cheese, carrots that still had some bite, potatoes and parsnips has a lovely colour on them and were delicious. Shout out to the creative vegetarian choices as well, the Butternut Squash and Beetroot Wellington was inspired and the Roasted Mediterranean Tart was also fabulous. Now we come to the main event, the puddings! I really do not have enough words to truly convey just how amazing the chocolate brownie was, rich dark chocolate, with white chocolate chunks, perfectly gooey without being runny and the perfect crispy top. Just Perfect. The Apple crumbles likewise were incredibly good but my heart forever more belongs to the brownie and I stand by the title of this review.

As always the Carew delivers a real old school pub experience. Well kept beers, super helpful and friendly staff and very good home made food. This pub has a lovely a**osphere, very welcoming and a pleasure to spend time here. The decor is 'rustic' but very much in keeping with the locality and the whole experience is that of a proper pub, where food, drink and a**osphere come top. Highly recommended, especially the views from the garden on a sunny day.

Bathroom was horrible. There was a really horrid smell which made us feel sick and the windows are absolutely filthy. The wallpaper is falling off the wall and the ceiling, there is mould all around the shower. I wouldnt say the room has been dusted thoroughly for a good few months. We left the room as soon as we got in to attend a wedding up the road and didnt give it much thought to have to check everything. When we got back there wasnt anyone around and then we left promptly as soon as we got up in the morning- again no one around. If youre going to stay here because its cheaper than the wedding venue, I'd recommend splashing out and staying at the venue rather than here.
