Lovely old coaching inn, very welcoming staff, made it feel like a home from home. Lovely room, only downside were the steep steps to the rooms when the pub side was shut so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The food was excellent, very good value for money and nothing was too much trouble, Would highly recommend.

What an incredible welcome we had! We were made to feel right at home and incredibly welcome. The facilities in the room were excellent, all you could ask for and more. We have two small dogs and the welcome and facilities for them was far beyond anything we'd ever experienced before, let alone all the lovely surrounding walks. We dined here both nights and the food was truly excellent. The quality of the food and the care and attention by the staff at dinner and breakfast was second to none. We can't recommend The Hood Arms highly enough.

A warm welcome on arrival. We arrived early but were allowed to put bags in our room even though prep not quite finished. Room was a good size, very clean with a very comfortable bed with crisp white linen. Tea, coffee and water supplied. Bathroom had large shower with shower gel and instant hot water. Breakfast was cooked to order with good selection, scrambled eggs lovely and ‘fluffy’. Did not have dinner but available. Location is ideal for exploring the Quantocks Cosy bar for nightcap.

Great welcome, lovely dog friendly old pub with large garden. Our rooms were large and comfortable with excellent beds, tea making facilities, good WIFI and everything we needed. Dinner was excellent with everything we ordered being very tasty. All the staff were lovely and friendly too. Brilliant draught cider selection of Thatchers Gold, Sheppy's and Exmoor brewery cider. Had an issue with one room unexpectedly not having been cleaned but they sorted perfectly with a free drink while they found another room and put dinner back for us. Note with the windows open it was a bit noisy at the front (can't be helped with an A road going right past!) so request a room at the back if needed. Highly recommended, we would definitely return!

WE stayed two nights at the Hood Arms and were given an upgrade on our original booking to a spacious room (Room1) with a good sized bed and plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. The room has a lovely view of the garden. The bathroom is large with a free-standing roll top bath in the centre and a large walk-in shower to one side with and excellent rain shower. One improvement would be a comfortable chair in the bedroom. The room provided a kettle and a good selection of tea and coffee and biscuits. Breakfast was very good with a selection of cereals, juice tea and coffee and hot food on offer and the host was very attentive. All in all, a very nice stay. Many thanks.

Great welcome, lovely dog friendly old pub with large garden. Our rooms were large and comfortable with excellent beds, tea making facilities, good WIFI and everything we needed. Dinner was excellent with everything we ordered being very tasty. All the staff were lovely and friendly too. Brilliant draught cider selection of Thatchers Gold, Sheppy's and Exmoor brewery cider. Had an issue with one room unexpectedly not having been cleaned but they sorted perfectly with a free drink while they found another room and put dinner back for us. Note with the windows open it was a bit noisy at the front (can't be helped with an A road going right past!) so request a room at the back if needed. Highly recommended, we would definitely return!

The Hood Arms is a pub with rooms, which is owned and run by people committed to keeping it in the community. The staff are all welcoming and work hard to give good service. The food is delicious and well-cooked, using ingredients from local suppliers, and the portions are large. The restaurant is popular with locals and visitors. The bedroom was spacious and charming, along with creaky floors and eccentric plumbing. The Hood is on a busy A-road, which didn't bother us but there are rooms overlooking the garden at the back. We would recommend a stay at the Hood Arms for anyone who likes a bit of character instead of a bland chain hotel.
