hearty breakfastgood locationhard celeryordinary cheddar
i enjoyed the breakfast here a lot. it was a hearty breakfast and it sets me up perfectly for the day. the hotel sits in a good location to visit all of exmoor, so it was easy to get around.
i had a lunchtime ploughmans in the bar, it was distinctly underwhelming. the ploughmans included half a baguette, a lump of cheddar, and some coleslaw. the apple was two slices and a very hard celery was served. it was not fresh local ingredients.

central locationfriendly staffeasy wifigenerous portions
The location was fantastic. It is right in the heart of the national park. The staff were friendly, CHEERFUL and efficient at all times. Broadband access was good, and the WiFi sign-in process was very easy to navigate. I found the food to be excellent with no short measures on portion sizes.
The bar service was slightly slow at peak times, but this was understandable given how busy the hotel was.
