Picturesque stay in Somerset's Exmoor National Park
Exmoor White Horse Inn, Somerset
Property details
Escape to a charming family-run inn on the River Exe in Exmoor National Park - includes breakfast, a cream tea on arrival, and optional dinner
- Beautiful setting: Perched beside the pretty River Exe and surrounded by the scenic Exmoor National Park - a designated Dark Sky Reserve - the 16th-century Exmoor White Horse Inn is a picturesque base for a relaxed West Country break. The area is packed with protected ancient sites, from Bronze Age burial mounds to a prehistoric clapper bridge.
- Home from home: The individually designed rooms have neutral palettes and elegant antique features. Luxury rooms are more spacious than Classic rooms, with some boasting sleigh beds and wonderful river views. Please note that the rooms are located across the main hotel and adjacent lodge.
- Locally-sourced dining: The restaurant serves rich, elegant plates of British and modern European cuisine, featuring meat from rare breed cattle, West Country seafood and moorland game. Retreat to the bar for casual bites, drinks (plus over 200 types of single malt whisky), and the hotel's excellent Sunday carvery.

Location and what's nearby
Exford, Exmoor National Park, West Somerset TA24 7PY
The Dark Sky Reserve of Exmoor has some of the darkest skies in the UK – thanks to minimal light pollution, on a cloudless night, you can see thousands of stars and astronomical sights, like the Milky Way, with the naked eye. After you've rambled Exmoor National Park, head further afield for more regional beauty. Dunster Beach – around a 30-minute drive from Exford – offers an excellent viewing spot for the area's birds, which include waders sheltering from the Arctic conditions further north, curlew, dunlin and flocks of oyster catchers.
Behind Dunster Beach, you'll find a freshwater lake with kingfishers, water rail and even tawny owls and buzzards. Nearby, you'll find the medieval town of Dunster itself, home to an imposing castle and peppered with tea shops. There are also many cosy pubs in the area with fireplaces to snuggle up by.
