Beautiful room, excellent evening meal and breakfast. Owners are so friendly and accommodating.

A beautiful old building in an historic village. The owner Simon, was extremely welcoming and told us a bit about the history of the area. The room itself was lovely. Decor was in keeping with the age of the property and two window seats where you could sit and read a book in the afternoon sun. Perfect. The bathroom was clean and modern with a huge bath and excellent integrated shower. I booked this room as my husband has recently had an operation and so sleeping in the same space can be tricky. The very large sofa is easily big enough to be a single bed and so I was confident I could decamp to it if necessary. As it turned out it wasn’t needed as the bed is plenty big enough and really comfortable. As a vegan I am delighted with the effort that was made to accommodate me. From the oat milk in our room to the delicious meal I enjoyed in the restaurant - cooked by Caroline, Simon’s wife. Oh yes - fresh coffee in the room - brilliant!

Nothing. Only wish we could stay longer.

Dinner was excellent. Cooked breakfast was good. Host offered to help with our bags. Open fire once in main building. Very attractive building to be coming to after a long drive and bad weather. Attractive large bedroom with en suite.

Our room could have been both aired and checked earlier. There were not just live wasps in, but dead ones too. Any kind of true check would have revealed their presence. Heating had not been on long enough on an awful November day to really make the room feel homely. (We arrived when we had indicated we would). All rooms seem to be in a separate building. This is v convenient for moving luggage from the very easy parking.

The Notley Arms is an absolutely beautiful property with well appointed rooms. The rooms were well done with beautiful pieces of furniture and everything you could possibly need. Simon and Caroline were amazing. My daughters loved their time here. They went absolutely above and beyond to make our stay amazing. The food was excellent and the service equally so. If you are lucky enough to stay here I assure you will have a great stay. The location is amazing the most beautiful part of the world. I will definitely be back

Nothing. I truly cannot find fault.

Such a romantic, comfortable hideaway right out on the moor. We arrived in the dark through beautiful locations with bats flying around the car and we were also late but owners insisted on looking after us and feeding us anyway. Food was absolutely outstanding and finished off with a birthday glass of champagne 🍾 Had a great chat with Simon after a lovely breakfast and he showed us the old church behind the property and gave us a load of history on it and on local sights. Room was comfy and clean and the bed super comfy. Great place :)

The setting, the staff, the food, the decor, the ambiance - everything about our 2 nights at Notley Arms was a lovely experience. We would highly recommend to others visiting the area.. Monksilver is a beautiful village and very convenient base for exploring Exmoor. Simon & Caroline are exceptional hosts treating each guest as special and have so much information about the whole area to share. The accommodation has character and lots of nice touches and is spotless. Never seen a cleaner shower anywhere on our travels - including at home!! Thanks for a wonderful time!

Sound proofing between rooms was slightly distracting but we understand how hard it is to achieve perfection in an old listed building full of character & beautifully restored.

The Notley Arms is located in a quiet village in Monksilver and is a family run business. Caroline greeted us with a huge smile and great sense of humour, exactly what you expect from a family business. The comfy rooms are in a separate building next to the pub. The pub itself is spacious and has lots of space to relax. We went with our dog to celebrate my wife’s birthday and we spent our evening sitting by the fire relaxing. Simon (the co owner) could not do enough for us and spoiled our dog each day with treats. If you like great pub food with fine wine selection, in a great location, genuinely dog friendly and a great base for exploring Exmoor National Park, then book yourself a weekend at the Notley Arms. Thank you Simon and Caroline for looking after us. Chris, Lisa and Buddy.

Lovely welcome from owners. Very friendly. Great atmosphere. Room 4 was spacious and very comfortable. Lovely middle-of-nowhere location for this traditional pub surrounded by rolling hills. Would visit again when next in the area.

Bit pricey, but so is everywhere now.

Deep in the green heart of the Quantocks, on the border of the Exmoor National Park, lies the tiny community of Monksilver. Located just a stone's throw from the parish church (where Sir Francis Drake was married) is the Notley Arms Inn. Mine hosts Simon and Caroline, friendly and informative, really do go the extra mile not only to make you feel welcome but to ensure that your stay is memorable. The food is excellent, and makes good use of fresh local produce, the accommodation is homely and comfortable - the sort of peaceful traditional country inn you just know you will be returning to at the earliest opportunity.

Nothing springs to mind.

Breakfast was a bit tight, 1 bacon, 1 sausage, half a mushroom, half a tomato and 2 fried eggs, 1 slice toast, a choice would have been better, especially for the eggs

Room was freezing, there was a problem with boiler but once we went over to bar it was resolved WiFi code didn't work so went over to bar again and was given a different code which did work so all issues were resolved
