Although we had booked a King/Twin room months in advance, sadly we were informed upon our arrival that something had gone wrong with the booking system, which meant that the room was not available. The landlord offered us a Double and an adjacent Single room instead, which is obviously not a desirable option for a married couple on a romantic getaway. We therefore opted to both sleep in the double room, though we regretted our decision the next morning, as the bed was clearly too narrow for two people to sleep in comfortably. The landlord had offered to make up for this mishap with our dinner, though we ended up being merely treated to 2 glasses of sparkling wine, which seemed a bit too small a gesture for our inconvenience. On the bright side, staff very generally friendly and we liked the breakfast. But having seen the high review rating this Inn is getting, it did feel somewhat of a let-down, to be honest. Google lists the establishment as a 4-star hotel, which doesn't seem quite appropriate. E.g. bottled water in the room was sorely missing. The decor also seemed rather dated to us.

Eric looked after us like we were family when we stayed for 3 nights in June 2022. The beds & bedding are amazing & you will get a good night's sleep here, without a doubt. Another treat is the delicious breakfast with local, organic produce. You choose from a wide selection the night before & can pick your own combination of full English breakfast, fruit, cereals... all fresh and tasty and the perfect way to start your day before putting your hiking boots on and heading out onto Exmoor. Thank you to everyone in the pub. We will definitely be back. Nicky, Jo & Tim
