Award-winning guesthouse on Dunster's oldest street in Exmoor National Park

Amenities

Exmoor House offers two guest lounges for relaxation and socializing, each stocked with complimentary snacks and beverages available to all guests. The property provides off-street parking options and daily housekeeping, along with luggage storage and private check-in/check-out services. Guests also have access to board games, puzzles, and a shared lounge with a TV.

Rooms

The six en suite bedrooms include king, twin, double, and superior king options, each decorated in a classic style. One allergy-free room is available, and all rooms come with a flat-screen TV, iPod docking station, and tea and coffee making facilities. Bathrooms include a full range of toiletries, and fresh milk is provided in a fridge on the landing for guest use.

Location

Exmoor House sits on Dunster's oldest street within Exmoor National Park, a short walk from Dunster Castle and the West Somerset Steam Railway. The surrounding countryside offers hiking and cycling trails, and the coast is 3 miles away. Nearby attractions include Lynton and Lynmouth, accessible by open-top bus, and vehicle safaris across the moors.

Dining

Breakfast at Exmoor House is award-winning and uses locally sourced ingredients, with the Full Exmoor breakfast featuring Exmoor Trout and local sausages. A continental option includes homemade jam, honey, and marmalade, and guests pre-order their preferred breakfast time to reduce food waste. Freshly cooked options like mushroom omelette and James's secret-recipe fried bread are available.

The Grade-II listed building dates from the 17th century and retains historic architectural features. Hosts James and Jane provide local dining recommendations and can assist with dinner reservations via pre-stay emails. Check-in is 16:00 to 18:00 unless confirmed in advance, and early departures can be accommodated with a take-away breakfast.
