My husband and I had a holiday in Somerset in November 2011. We spent a day in Dunster and had lunch in The Luttrell Arms bar. The staff were friendly and the bar welcoming with a lovely open fire. We had our young dog with us who was also made welcome with a bowl of water. We had planned to just have a snack but the menu was so inviting that we had substantial main courses. The food was superb, we found the quality, service and value for money excellent - we are going back in April. We did not stay so cannot comment on the accommodation

Called in at the Luttrell Arms while on a visit to the West Somerset Railway. Although the bar had a nie Olde World charm, the food was poor quality - the 'Luttrell's pie' that I had was basically gravey with a few diced veg and a square of pastry and my husband's fish and chips was equally unappetitising. Really disappointing

We had booked for a meal for a Christmas get together, a girls night out. T service was abysmal, the food totally DISGUSTING, and inedible. We complained to the "waitress" and asked to see the manager, she said she would tell him, an hour later when asked where the manager was we were told he gone home! No apology, nothing we insisted she rang him, which she did, we were told they would not charge for the turkey meal, which we had no intention of doing as we had not eaten it! The other meal served that evening was salmon, which we could smell as we passed the kitchen door! The next day the friend who had eaten some of the salmon were ill with upset tummies! I cannot emphasis enough how bad the food and so called service were, if you enjoy dining out and good food AVOID The Lutterall at all costs.

Had a very nice few days here again. ideal location with lots of good walking in the area. food is very good and staff are very friendly . Room was roomy and very comfortable. they also do a very good cream tea much needed after a long walk. In summer they have a lovely garden to sit in with views of the castle .one of our favorite short break hotels and we will keep returning.
