Extremely friendly host/owner and beautifully designed interior.
In a stunning area of Exmoor - no complaints from me!

The room was comfortable and the breakfast was good.
We couldn't afford to eat in the restaurant: not with a lemonade and a diet coke costing £9.20!
£9.20 for two soft drinks: what a rip off! There's no way I'll ever visit again. No wonder the bar was quiet.

My brother and I spent 3 nights at the Notley Arms while attending g a 2 day off road motorcycling course at the Dave Thorpe Honda Adventure Centre.
The pub is picturesque and comfortably furnished. The owners Simon and Caroline are both very friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were excellent. There?s a very pleasant garden with plenty of seating.Our rooms in the main building were small but comfortable.

What a great pub and place to stay over. Perfect for fossil hunting on the local beaches. The Landlord Simon is a great and friendly host. The food was amazing, so, all in all, a wonderful experience and highly recommend!

Me, my Brother and 2 mates stayed over for the Dave Thorpe Honda off road experience the next day. We had a great time here. Simon and Caroline are wonderful people and very friendly. The pub and location are beautiful. The food is excellent, as is the beer. Highly recomended for those that want access to exmoor and this lovely part of the world.

3 great reasons to stay here:
- lovely quiet village with local walks
- great food (eg. slow roasted, oak smoked venison)
- Simon, whose enthusiasm for local beauty spots, knowledge of world events and great management make this picturesque pub a standout (not to mention his G & Ts)

An absolute wonderful hidden gem of a place in a beautiful rural location. Lots of history and charm with endless carefully selected artefacts and decor to admire and enjoy. Cosy fires and lots of comfy areas to choose from as well as a choice of dining areas?. Simon is the ?Host? with definitely the most?. Nothing too much trouble?. so welcoming, friendly and interesting. Chef and Jacob also a real asset to the place. Food was delicious and service amazing. Highly satisfied as it made all the difference to our evening.

Lovely pub with a warm welcome, friendly atmosphere and excellent food (and you can even stay there!)
Having had a good experience at the Notley Arms several years ago, we arranged to have Sunday lunch here with family and friends. We weren't disappointed!
There's a lot to be said for a place with a homely atmosphere and a warm welcome on arrival - and that's what this gem of a pub / restaurant offers. Simon and the team were friendly and helpful (even a bit cheeky at times, but all meant kindly). The food choice, speed of service, quantity and quality were all outstanding. We all had a lovely experience and would definitely return. In fact, they even have rooms - so they're now on our list of possible places to stay when in the area.

Phenomenal roast dinner. We are staying in a cottage in the village and found out the pub was open on a Sunday in winter.
It was THE BEST roast chicken meal I've ever had.
Beautifully seasoned dish with moist chicken and tasty vegetables.
My husband had the beef and he's quite fussy with steaks, but he said it was mouth-wateringly delicious slices of steak cooked to perfection.
I would seriously consider driving here the hour and a half from home just for this pub!
The landlord was so friendly and funny, showing genuine interest without getting too bothersome.
Really lovely afternoon had by our family here.
