We waited 75 minutes for food, the fish and chips were OK but the chicken was very poor indeed. Before we left the chef appeared and apologised saying that the second chef had failed to turn up. It is a poor show if the kitchen of an Hotel can't cope with about 30 people. The waitress was very pleasant but... more

What can i say, the welcome was warm, the room superb and the food outstanding. Three days mountain biking over the Quantocks literally across the road. John the new owner is a top bloke, meets and greets and comes and chats through dinner. I cannot rate this Pub/hotel highly enough. Good beers and Local produce makes the menu a Somerset... more

A group of 5 of us have just stayed for 2 nights & had a great time. The Staff & locals are friendly & the atmoshere was very good. We had originally booked the restaurant for the first night & somewhere else for the 2nd night, But we had such an enjoyable evening & the food was so good we... more

If you want to have the chef come out from his kitchen and abuse you for arriving 15 minutes late, this is the place for you. You can then be punished by waiting an hour for your food, be given the wrong orders and then someone else's bill. The visit can be topped off by the manager refusing to apologise... more

We stayed for one night at The Hood Arms, the welcome we received was very warm and inviting. The room was quirky, clean and the bed very comfortable. We ate in the restaurant that night and both enjoyed a fresh fish dish each. Both the landlord and the chef came to chat with us at the table. We retired to... more

Having arranged to meet up with friends for a weekend get together, we had just a few days to find somewhere suitable. The criteria was to find a cosy pub with a roaring log fire that takes dogs, yet with upmarket accommodation and good food. Not an easy feat, especially when you've left it until the last minute. As usual,... more

I'm so glad i did not take notice of the terrible reveiws as written here! I found the whole experience of The Hood Arms very enjoyable! The staff were very curteous & nothing was too much trouble! The owners who have only just recently taken over were very welcoming they gave us the history of the inn & the food... more

This place was advertised as a hotel. It is a pub with rooms.The bar area itself was very nice with a lovely garden area and the english breakfast was acceptable if not a little on the small side though the other 4 guests did seem to get more but they were staying for evening meals as well!!!!! The description of... more

We had a very long drive down to the hotel for a function from North Yorkshire and were glad when we finally arrived. We were not bothered by the fact that there were only a few parking spaces as there is an overflow car park which is more than adequate. First impressions of the Hood Arms were very good -... more
