A visit to Exmoor National Park is much more than enjoying the spectacular scenery – why not immerse yourself completely in our way of life and book an experience?

From Golf, Alpaca Walking and trekking the moors on Horseback, through to being a Keeper for the day at Exmoor Zoo or a Sea Kayak Guided Tour, there is so much to do both on land and water. During the Summer months, experiences are extremely popular, so we would advise you to book well ahead of your stay to avoid disappointment.

We are committed to finding eco-friendly, sustainable solutions in the day-to-day running of our B&B – please see our “Environmental Policy” for full details.
