Lovely old coaching inn, very welcoming staff, made it feel like a home from home.
Lovely room, only downside were the steep steps to the rooms when the pub side was shut so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.
The food was excellent, very good value for money and nothing was too much trouble,
Would highly recommend.

What an incredible welcome we had! We were made to feel right at home and incredibly welcome. The facilities in the room were excellent, all you could ask for and more. We have two small dogs and the welcome and facilities for them was far beyond anything we'd ever experienced before, let alone all the lovely surrounding walks. We dined here both nights and the food was truly excellent. The quality of the food and the care and attention by the staff at dinner and breakfast was second to none. We can't recommend The Hood Arms highly enough.
