Great pub with lovely rooms and excellent food

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!

A very nice 2 day stay.

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.

Lovely old coaching Inn.

Unfortunately the pub was closed for our Tuesday night stay. This meant that we had to drive to another pub for our evening meal, which wasn't very good at all. Also meant that as the driver I couldn't have a drink. Which was the whole idea of staying at the Hood Arms was an evening in an old pub. Breakfast was supurb as was the room. Great place to stay just not (currently) on a Monday or Tuesday. Landlord was really appologetic and very helpful.

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.
