The Hood Arms

Exceptional food and service and really lovely, atmospheric pub. Best of all, the staff are really lovely.. my little girl left her bag behind and they posted it to us (we aren’t local) and wouldn’t take any payment for the postage. Brilliant experience and can’t wait to go back.

We had such a wonderful trip. They upgraded our rooms as we were basically the only guests there for no extra cost which was so lovely of them. And the rooms were beautiful! The couple who owned it couldn’t have been nicer. Had really lovely chats and they told us some great walking routes and places to visit. Plus they make a mean breakfast in the morning. I would definitely stay there again no question!!

The food here is amazing from the presentation to the taste. The staff were all so attentive, quick to take our drink and food orders. Always checking in on us. We booked last minute and they managed to squeeze us in but please book in advance as a very popular place. I wish we didn’t live 3 hours away!

Stopped in without a booking en route home from Minehead. They were obviously busy given it was a Friday night but couldn’t have been more accommodating and found us a table within minutes of ordering drinks. We were advised there might be a wait for food as they had a large group in who’d just ordered but our orders were taken quickly and I’ve waited much longer in far less busy establishments! The food and service was absolutely lovely and we’d definitely return. Highly recommend. Thank you!

A very friendly country pub in a lovely location that does really superb food. We both had different fish dishes; both were cooked beautifully with fresh local ingredients and tasted delicious. The cheesecake was to die for! One of the best pub meals had in a long time. Will definitely return the next time we're in Somerset.

I have just enjoyed a long weekend at The Hood Arms - I have stayed here several times, and keep coming back. It’s a warm and friendly pub for both accommodation and the finest local food where the owners ensure that your room is exactly right for you and the constantly changing menu is excellent. My room was beautifully clean and well presented with all of the amenities I look for. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom has both a bath and a walk-in shower. I enjoyed three delicious breakfasts offering a choice of good, local produce. My lunch on Friday consisted of roast halibut on a bed of samphire and a parcel of cabbage – just the most delicious combination, with the halibut cooked to the point of perfection. I noticed the fish is delivered at breakfast time – the van is from Brixham, so we know that the fish is fresh caught, hence the sheer quality of texture and flavour. Along with the great food, the lovely friendly, happy staff create such a good atmosphere. The owners really care about every detail and make every effort to give a smooth and utterly delightful experience at The Hood.
