King's Arms Inn Montacute

My whole family loved our Christmas lunch here. The food was great, the service was friendly and welcoming and we all had a great time. We'd definately recommend and we will definately be returning soon

First the positives: restaurant in the evening was pleasant, food was good and reasonably priced staff were friendly especially the gentleman who runs the bar if we had only gone for a meal the rating would be 4 But the negative was the hotel first room we were offered had a ripped chair, black mildew on the bathroom ceiling and furniture which was more than distressed. We then moved to a better room in the main building but it was still a mess of old mismatched furniture, a broken mirror stand and a tiny TV which barely worked. The rooms are worth no better than a 2 star rating. A shame as it’s a lovely village and setting.

Christmas meal with friends. When you’re dealing with large groups, especially at this time of year, it can be hit or miss…the Kings Arms was definitely a HIT! From the kindness and service given by staff to the quality of the food, this was my first visit but will most definitely not be my last (totally worth the trip from Taunton . Every aspect was superb and we cannot thank you enough for a wonderful evening. Oh, and enjoy the IKEA bucket hat ;

We went for a family Christmas meal and the food and service were both excellent. However, at 10:40, a lady came around the corner and informed us that she would be locking the front door in ten minutes. This made all ten of us feel very uncomfortable, as it felt like we were being rushed to finish our meal and leave. It was disappointing that the usual policy of "the table is yours until you leave" was not followed. This experience has made me unsure if I want to return again.

We received a warm welcome and enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere at this restaurant. Our family room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, equipped with tea/coffee making facilities, toiletries, a spacious wardrobe, dressing table, and TV. The bathroom was a bit disappointing as it was not spotless, with some mould/mildew in the shower that could have been easily cleaned with some attention. However, we had a restful night's sleep. The food at the pub was amazing, and the breakfasts were delicious, with freshly cooked hot food, juices, yogurt, cereal, and toast made to order. The hotel has separate entrances to the main pub, making it convenient for late arrivals with a provided key. There was plenty of parking available as well. Overall, it was a good stay and we would definitely return if we were in the area again.
