    Excellent meal. From the moment of arrival to leaving, the staff had a natural, intuitive hospitality attitude. Friendly, attentive, non intrusive and above all, great food. It made our lunch there for a birthday meal very special and relaxing. The restaurant is beautiful and peaceful. We'll definitely go again. Thank you to all.

    We just had a few days on Exmoor, there was 6 of us and the Exmoor Forest looked after us so well. The staff are very welcoming and very attentive to all your needs. Everywhere was extremely clean and the rooms were very comfortable. You can start the day with an excellent breakfast menu and comeback in the evening to sit down to an excellent evening meal, they use local homebreed produce too. A great place to stay.
