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.

We had a wonderfully comfortable and relaxing 5 days. From the welcoming tea in the drawing room onwards, Patricia couldn’t have been more helpful or made us feel more at home. A gem of a house with beautiful views, well positioned for so many places of interest.

Cosy B&B.
Owner was very hospitable. Cosy B&B. Great proximity to Cheddar and Wells. Walking distance from Axbridge village centre. Great views across Somerset downs. Recommended for short stay for anyone visiting Somerset on the way to Devon, Cornwall or South Wales.

Compton House is full of character and the hostess, Patricia is great company and conversationalist. We stayed in the Elizabethan Room with a wonderful antique oak four poster bed. Breakfasts are tasty, wholesome and filling. Situated close to Wells, Cheddar and Glastonbury, Compton House is well situated for exploring Somerset.

Beautiful guest house with a wonderful host
I booked a night away with my partner so that we could walk the Cheddar Gorge. Compton House is in a great location very close to Cheddar. The village of Axbridge where the guest house is located is so charming and we had such a great time. There are three local pubs within very easy walking distance (where you can also get food). We checked out all three and found them all to be very hospitable. Patricia is a wonderful host and is very helpful and personable. The guest house is spotlessly clean and has so much character. There is a beautiful garden and breakfast was just spot on!! I would highly recommend Compton Guest House.

Great Find!
Patricia This is a beautiful house to stay in - Patricia could not make you feel any more welcome. Our room was South facing, so looking over the garden and with great views beyond. Lots of room and comfortable furnishings. Breakfast is wonderful, lots of choices of cooked and cold local produce. Locally, it's a nice, short stroll into the centre square - with a large pub serving food and a restaurant plus a co-op which is handy if you have forgotten to pack your toothbrush!

Intimate, period hotel set in a delightful village
We really enjoyed this interesting hotel and it's welcoming owner. We felt like personal guests and nothing was too much trouble for our hostess. Our bathroom was clean, roomy & presented with beautifully fragranced toiletries. Breakfast was individually catered for with very tasty offerings. A tray of tea or coffee taken in the lovely garden with marvellous views completed the ambiance. Evening meals were not available but a five minute walk to the village square provided enough choice of good food from various restaurants/ pubs. A short drive provided more alternatives. We enjoyed trips to Cheddar, Western-Super-mare and Wells, all very close by. We hope we can return sometime.
