We had a fabulous stay. Wonderful hosts, great rooms, lovely beer garden - and really good food.

Simon, landlord is very hospitable and loves what he does. I cannot remember her name (sorry Hun) of his right hand lady, front of house manageress, who is so very lovely. We always get a warm welcome and blooming luvverly food. So don't mess about please and just go there! And and and they have Peroni on draught ! ��

Simon the landlord was absolutely amazing!! Super friendly and great service and the food was to die for !! Also Simon gave us a great walk to go on while we was in the area , if your in or near monksilver this is the place you want to go ! Don't miss out !

Really lovely stay, lovely food and beer. Very welcome, lovely accommodation. Thank you �

I stayed in the Nottley arms this June for 11 nights whilst doing my cpc course! I was on my own in a different place for this length of time! And I have to thank all the staff at Nottley for making me feel so welcome, especially Sandra she always made an effort to talk with me about my day and how I was! I will definitely be back hopefully for pleasure next time and not for work!

Again thank you all so much! Xx

Fantastic hidden gem, well priced, good home cooked food and friendly staff. Off the beaten track but well worth the extra drive. Stayed over night with our dog and loved it, definitely can recommend and will be back hopefully soon xx

Fantastic B&B, excellent accommodation, first class food, very friendly staff and an extremely welcoming owner with a fabulous knowledge of the area. All in all a very warm and enjoyable place to stay. We will be revisiting!

Fantasic friendly atmosphere and staff. Brilliant beer garden. We tend to go hear as a treat and tend to dine. The restaurant has a modern twist with traditional food. You must try their scotch egg 🥚 as a starter. Love this place 😁🥂 10/10.

Excellent varied food and Gorgeous interior and a spectacular selection of wines on offer. I took my team (very fussy eaters) for a evening out, very friendly welcoming and never felt rushed. A epic selection of wines and some enticing starters (Scotch egg is a must try). Steaks prepared like I've never had one before!! Amazing. Already booked again for Xmas

Excellent room, dog friendly, doggy bag waiting on arrival. Amazing evening meal, equally good breakfast, friendly staff and landlords. Will be back.

Dogs welcomed as much as humans. Beautiful room good food.

Beautifully designed, elegant country style with homely snug atmosphere. Wonderfully friendly and welcoming. Food was mouth watering. Had steak and kidney pie with chips, vegetables and gravy and my husband had the steak burger. Will definitely visit again soon.

Beautiful, cozy & welcoming restaurant. Highly recommend! Lovely polite staff who make you feel very welcome the moment you enter the restaurant. The food is absolutely fantastic, cooked to perfection & also very generous on portion size! I experienced a very relaxing evening with amazing food. Planning our next meal there! ❤❤❤❤

Beautiful country inn offering fabulous award winning food and over thirty wines by the glass. Ideally positioned for lovely country walks over Exmoor National Park. The pub is on The Coleridge Way and is dog friendly as well. Outside there is an excellent landscaped child friendly beer garden to enjoy your drinks. Conveniently located for Exmoor National Park, Dunster, Minehead, West Somerset Steam Railway, Porlock, Local beaches and Taunton.

Always great to pop in and see Simon and Caroline. Great food and always a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

A lovely refurbished West Country pub to a very high standard set in a lovely Somerset village. Good food and an amazing cheese board with great Coffee for a coffee snob like me. It's is also Dog friendly so perfect for us. Run by a very friendly couple made this a most enjoyable stay. We are looking forward to a return stay and would recommend to all who appreciate high standards and good West Country food.

Second stay at The Knotley Arms...lovely Coach House fabulous room with a four poster bed..spotless clean and lovely garden and new extension. Owner extremely pleasant and knowledgeable..disappointed with breakfast..no fruit or yogurts.. sausage bland, bacon thick cut and very dry. Dinner second evening very very disappointing...neither Fine Dining..Gastro ...more like a Lite bite at £17!!! ...no more than a teaspoon of Savoy Cabbage...two small lumps of Chicken and a swirl of mashed potato���and no taste...complained to the young guy serving who said he was sorry about that..did I want to order a pudding. ? I needed a pudding as I was starving...the previous evening we had a super main at The Castle Dunster which was £10 And fabulous!!! Scrambled egg and toast was good this morning but still no fruit or yogurts. Probably stay at The Lutterell Arms next time..their breakfast is to die for .

My Partners food was ok but mine was disgusting. When I told the waitress she said "oh dear" with a big smile! It was expensive and we were even charged for the fruit in our drinks (gin&tonic ) certainly would not recommend. It's the only time in my life I've had to leave a restaurant with an empty stomach and a hefty bill.

Food was OK, nothing to shout about, couldn't even get the bread roll correct!!, wasn't very impressed with the 10% service charge you just add to the bill at the end, what's that about!!!! Won't be returning! Funny that my husband put a similar review & you've deleted it???!!
