Went by chance on a visit to Kilve beach. The staff could not have been more welcoming. Had 4 starters between the two of us and they were all truly delicious. Excellent food and service in a lovely garden. Thanks. The lovely and very helpful Tilly deserves a special mention!

Fabulous food in a fantastic part of the country. I would particularly recommend the houmous to start as it was up there with the best I've ever had. The service was great. I was particularly impressed that they were very kind to my dog and my parents who are all exceptionally difficult in restaurants 😅

This place is fantastic. The host was very polite and welcoming. The room was fantastic. Sadly we didn’t get to enjoy the Hood Arms to the full extent because we were there for a wedding but we could only assume the food and drink during the day/evening would be fantastic because our breakfast was amazing. I don’t recall having such a great breakfast at any hotel. I definitely recommend Oh and we struggled to find a taxi service local to the Hood Arms that could take us to the wedding venue. I called the Hood Arms a few days before and they gave me a number for a local taxi service who was extremely affordable. Their overall service was impeccable
