The Notley Arms also has rooms upstairs, and they’re exactly what you’d hope for: cozy, quiet, and full of character. Think chunky beams, crisp white sheets, and a bathroom with a shower that actually has good water pressure. After a long walk, that’s a small luxury that feels enormous.
You’ll wake up to birdsong and the smell of bacon. There’s no TV blaring or traffic hum—just peace. It’s the kind of sleep that resets your entire brain.
NOTLEY ARMS, Monksilver - 2026 Reviews & Information
For the Non-Hikers
Not into stomping across muddy fields? No problem. Exmoor is also about slow adventures. You can drive to nearby Dunster Castle, wander through ancient woodlands, or just sit in the pub and watch the world go by. The Notley Arms is extremely good at being a place to simply exist.
Bring a book. Bring a friend. Or bring nothing but your appetite for a quiet afternoon. The atmosphere is so easygoing that you’ll quickly forget what day it is.
