Farmers Arms

First impressions were a feeling of being run down. Our room was large with excellent ensuite. Inclusion of new curtains and settee would have made the room so much more appealing. Our evening meal was superb and service was excellent. All in all the place grew on us with pleasant beer garden in idyllic countryside and worth the money.

Perfect location for meeting friends in Taunton (15 minutes up the road), with a stunning outlook across open countryside, along the Staple Mitzpaine Herepath circular cycling / walking route. If we had more time, we would have loved to walk the route, and enjoy the exquisite home-cooked Indian cuisine in the pub (on our return). We were very grateful for the delicious meal for 2 we had cooked for us, despite having missed the earlier closing time of the kitchen, on the day we arrived to check in (Sunday evening). Great service, good selection of food, to our dietary requirements - (including meat and dairy-free). A wonderful atmosphere of locals and visitors, mixing together, facilitated by the hospitality of the committed owner/s and staff. We enjoyed chatting around the open fireplace, to orient ourselves to the area, and find out more about the excellent service and hospitality on offer. We very much recommend Farmer's Arms to anyone passing through this area of outstanding natural beauty; the traditional, modern-facility rooms make a perfect ending to the experience, including Victorian-style bath, with ample space for two :) Thanks again, we hope to be back one day...
