"We really enjoyed our stay. We were walking the SWCP and were glad to stop earlier on this leg. (Just dont take the road to the lighthouse and then climb the scree over the hill: steep and dangerous). The room was excellent. Comfortable. Delicious dinner down stairs, and lucky for us on our night, a live singer providing a musical background atmosphere. She was lovely, and just the thing to elevate the evening to next level."

Top Exmoor Zoo Hotel Reviews

Kentisbury Grange

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were brilliant, check-in was good as was check out. Absolutely no complaints in that regard. Room was lovely but carpet quite stained in places and the curtains were very worn and material torn in places. Bathroom was excellent though. Breakfast was great as was restaurant menu."

Rural retreat for 2 with private HOT TUB close to Exmoor and the Coast

10/10 Excellent

"Having just returned from staying at the Barn at Ryepark House, we can honestly say it's the most peaceful, well organised, and tastefully presented place we have had the pleasure of staying in.If you're looking for a quiet getaway, a base to explore the beautiful North Devon coast, or just a romantic weekend without the kids, this is the place.Maria and Steve were the perfect hosts. Attentive when needed, otherwise you felt you were alone in this beautiful haven in the countryside.We would definitely stay again if we're in that area. Thank you"

Bantam Cottage - sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing holiday thanks to Alice and her team, it was fantastic, she was incredibly helpful and accommodating when it came to our specific needs during the week. The 3 properties that we rented, Bantam, Aylesbury and Peacock were ideally situated in a private, safe courtyard for our group of 3 families. The private hot tub in Ayelsbury was an absolute boom and access to the pool was so easy from where we were all situated, it felt like we had it to ourselves. All the properties were of a very high standard equipped with everything that we needed and more. The only thing that we missed was being able to use the firepit and BBQs but that was down to national restrictions because of the dry weather. Thanks for the special memories that were made in our time at Coulscott, I would certainly recommend!"

The Old Piggery, countryside accessible cottage

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful time at The Old Piggery in Goodleigh. The setting is beautiful, with stunning views across rolling hills, and it’s such a peaceful and relaxing place to stay. Hosts, Tom & Sue, were so welcoming and helpful. The delicious cream tea waiting for us on arrival was a lovely touch and much appreciated. We travelled with our mum, who is a wheelchair user, and the property had everything she needed to make her stay comfortable and relaxing. It was wonderful to find somewhere so well suited to our family. We made good use of the BBQ on the lovely patio and had plenty of space to have family over for an evening. We also arranged a Tesco delivery for the morning after we arrived, which worked perfectly and made settling in even easier. Thank you, Tom & Sue, for such a memorable week. The Old Piggery is a very clean, peaceful and beautiful place to stay, and we would love to return. Highly recommended!"

8/10 Good

"Delightfully decorated, really well situated and a really nice break. This is our 2nd stay and we would stay again although this time Everybody at Kentisbury Grange is very friendly and helpful and the restaurant onsite is delicious. Hot tub is by far the best bit!"
