We have just come back from a trip to Devon, staying for a couple of nights at the Blue Ball Inn at Triscombe, a little hamlet right in the countryside not far from Taunton. What a wonderful little gem! A lovely room, with all the little comforts you need. The staff were welcoming, helpful, knowledgable and friendly. The restaurant had... More

This Inn is a real delight. The owners and staff are welcoming and absolutely charming. If you are lucky enough to stay in the room called 'Stag' then you are in for a treat. The 'room' is a small thatched cottage with the bedroom downstairs complete with inglenook fireplace and the huge bathroom is up a winding staircase with a... More

Amazing location, amazing food and amazing staff. The Blue Ball achieves where many pub/restaurants fail in creating excellence without becoming pretentious and that's why we keep going back. Keep up the good work!

We were staying in the family room with our son, for one night on the way to our anuual holiday in North Devon. What an excellent place for a short stay, the room was amazing and beautifully decorated. We went for an afternoon walk and found an old stable yard where they sold cream teas. Our dinner in the evening... More

We were camping locally and our tent was washed out in heavy rain, so late on a Saturday night we found ourselves ringing around looking for a local B&B! We chanced upon the Blue Ball, and as soon as we got there we were blown away by the warmness of the welcome - we turned up wet and bedraggled with... More

Went on a Friday night as live local and couldn't be bothered to cook. Very nice food, excellent service and ambiance. Fair price for what you get, will go again.

What a great find! Although we only stayed for one night, it was well worth the ten mile drive from the motorway to this lovely, peaceful spot. We had a warm welcome and were delighted with our accommodation in "Pheasant Cottage". Dinner was a feast, with excellent food, wine and very friendly service. At breakfast we sat by the end... More

We found The Blue Ball Inn by total chance from an internet search for pubs on The Quantocks - and I'm so pleased that we did. I grew up in Taunton but had never been to the Blue Ball until this trip. We were looking for a place to stay near the hills so that we could walk on the... More

We stayed and ate here last night having travelled through quiet country lanes over the Quantocks to get there. A warm welcome greeted us plus some excellent local beer and cider. We had a very good dinner, and then joined a regular drinker at the bar for a night cap and setting the world to rights. A good combination of... More
