Pubs.com Review

The pretty village of Montacute is built entirely from the local, honey coloured stone; including the magnificent Elizabethan Montacute House, the beautiful parish church and the King's Arms Inn.

The inn dates from the mid 18th century and has grown to accommodate 15 en-suite bedrooms and a restaurant. The bars are well used by the young (courteous) locals and have a lively atmosphere. The food is good and reasonably priced, particularly the bar meals. The beers from the Greene King stable are well kept; the service is attentive and welcoming. The large grassed garden at the rear is used for barbeques in the summer.

Although perfectly adequate and presentable, the bars would benefit from softer lighting and the bedrooms from more stylish, less bland furnishings, both would create a warmer atmosphere; the interior would then match the promise of the exterior.

Local attractions include Montacute House, the TV, Radio and Toy Museum up the street and the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovil.
