Phenols are less stable then alcohols as they are in ring structure and hence they can loose H+ ion faster and easily then the alcohol

Phenol is more acidic because when it loses one H+ ion it form phenoxide ion which is stable(resonance stabalised).
But alcohols does not give H+ ions easily to form alkoxide ion which is not stable and readily take the H+ ion and form alcohol again.
