Lovely big bar with a huge real fireplace, very inviting. Good pub grub. Excellent breakfast, quality of fare, far better than expected.

Due to this dressing gowns were provided which were large and cosy. Very large room with space for 2 chairs and coffee table. Breakfast for £5 was amazing!

Bathroom across the corridor was no problem since warm dressing gowns were provided ##### Keith Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harry Philip 4 Jul 2023 Liked: Property conditions & facilities I liked everything ##### Harry Philip Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather 11 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely stay Good for one night stay. I was concerned that being above the pub might be noisy on a Friday night, but it was not. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. A little inconvenient having the bathroom across the hall, but for a one night stay it wasn't bad. The owners graciously accommodated my slightly earlier breakfast. During the day I parked in the lot across the road, but when I came back in the evening I ended up parking down the road outside the post office. ##### Heather Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### MR 20 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service #### New management, new standards. Breakfast comes in a box, there's not even fresh coffee available. You simply have to rearrange the furniture just to eat it sitting down. No member of staff stays over night so if you're late or need something you are well and truly stuck. No phone reception on Tesco mobile., very dodgy WiFi, no parking and bizarrely ABSOLUTELY NO CONTACT NUMBER. Would be fine as a hen or stag venue but for little else. Literally a youth hostel would be more welcoming. ##### MR ### 2/10 Terrible #### Michael 27 Sept 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bad service, very rude A terrible experience. I had no option but to rearrange my stay due to the Queens funeral. I phoned to try to come to an amicable/ shared arrangement on payment and a rebooking. The wife of the owner was rude and patronising and refused to make any concession at all insisting on charging me full prices despite the circumstances. I am all for supporting local and small businesses but for some reason this owner is too arrogant to think they need to rely on repeat business or I wouldn’t have been spoken to in the way I was. I wish them every success but I will never stay here again. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### allan 18 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly atmoshere ##### allan Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A building with real character.

We enjoyed excellent meals, dinner, breakfast and lunch. On a practical note, the hotel's name, "Phelips Arms", hints at its proximity to National Trust's superb Montacute House i.e. 3 mins walk away. Meanwhile Montacute village itself is a gem to visit. For non car people like us, the bus from Yeovil helpfully stops outside. ##### James Stayed 1 night in Dec 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 24 Nov 2019 Disliked: Staff & service My single room was fine except for the “ Single” bed. As 19 St. male I need a bit moreroom silly to put such a small bed in a room for rental , plenty of room for a 3’-6”/ 4’. The rest fine . ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 27 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We liked the privacy we had once we were in the room ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geoffrey 11 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Attentive service, cosy hotel, charming location. We had booked as we were attending. Concert near by. We had not expected to chance upon such a lovely little hotel in such a charming ng location. Moreover, the welcome was very warm and the service could not have been more attentive. The food in the pub was excellent and the system of breakfast being delivered to your room at a time of your choosing worked well. We will be back. ##### Geoffrey Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve, Plymouth 11 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely old pub in quaint village. Stayed here whilst attending a concert in nearby Yeovil. Loved the way the continental breakfast was delivered in a little picnic basket and left outside our room. As much as I love a full on English, you don't always want one every time so this was a nice change. I would definitely stay here again and have a few drinks in the bar downstairs! ##### Steve Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 28 May 2018 Disliked: Room comfort Our main problem was the room, The chest of draws which the tv stood on the draws had no runners, the tv was next to useless, would not hold signal, picture kept braking up. The frame work around the bed keep falling apart. The shower failed to start and when it did the pressure was so weak it wasent worth having and the trims around shower doors kept falling off. and having their continental breakfast in your room was not good, for starters it was not true continental and it was messy. I can not speak for the rest of the rooms but our room No1 I would not recommend. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 21 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great evening meal, very friendly staff and a lovely old inn to stay at.

Dinner OK but breakfast a disappointment ##### Tony Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ross 26 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A small but cosy place to stay A nice pub in the centre of the village with an interesting museum next door and a National Trust property within walking distance ##### Ross Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2017 ### 4/10 Poor #### Judith 22 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Surprisingly poor Having read previous reviews, we were looking forward to our stay, especially breakfast. When we checked in, we were handed a list of items and asked to choose what we wanted. I asked what had happened to the full English breakfast and was told they offer only a basket of goods delivered to the door ' for business reasons' . Sure enough, on retiring later, there was a covered basket on the floor, it has twobowls one of which had Special K in it , covered in cling film, one had a tiny packet of corn flakes, there was milk in a flask and an insulated pot with youghurt, plus 2 bottles of juice, both if which said ' keep refrigerated'on them . We drank the juice because it was sealed, but didn' t touch the rest. We have never encountered anything like this before and we travel a good deal. Evn in the simplest of places, there is usually someone who cooks the breakfast. If they don' t want to offer a cooked breakfast, or canmot get the staff to do it, why not set up a buffet in the bar for people to help themselves. It realky was the mostbizarre arrangement. The accommodation itself was spotless and very comfortable , but I found the bar staff quite unwelcoming - very young and probabky poorly trained. ##### Judith ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 24 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good location and very friendly and helpful staff. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information)
