Such a Beautiful hotel in an equally Beautiful Location.Everything was just perfect Kev and Jan where so Hospitable from the moment we walked in. The room was exquisitely laid out, Towels Complementary soaps , Tea , Coffee and Hot chocolate with ample milk and Sugar available. The bed was Comfy and the shower was wonderful.

Breakfast in the morning was first class fresh eggs & we where lucky to get double yolks , sausage and bacon ,mushrooms where delicious. Had a great chat with Kevin and Jan as well.. Just want to thank both of you for the wonderful time worth every penny. Thank You. Emma & Andy

The Exmoor Manor Hotel. What a fantastic home from home B&B great hosts that couldn’t have been any more helpful. Kevin & Jan were always on hand and would help with any thing you required. Very quiet location with Beautiful views and lovely walks for you and your four-legged companion who are very welcome at the Exmoor Manor. Rooms are lovely and well appointed, breakfast was Plentiful with tea, coffee, Juices, cereals, yogurts, And of course, a lovely full English Cooked breakfast, you couldn’t want for more. The Exmoor Manor also has an alcohol license selling wines and beers on the premises and I heard Kevin ordering a certain brand of beer for clients that were frequent returning guests, that had requested if he could stock this for them when they returned on there next visit. wow, great. So the motto is asked and they will try and accommodate. One sad things is Kevin & Jan have put the Exmoor Manor up for sale at a very reasonable price I think, so may not be there when I return but I’m sure the new owners will be just as accommodating in this beautiful Manor hotel bed and Breakfast.Thank you again Kevin and Jan and good luck for the future Flipper.

We had a great time at Exmoor Manor Hotel, a beautiful historic building with great rooms, it’s nice to have thermostatic valves on the radiators so you can set the room to your own temperature. …

Only stayed one night on a recommendation. Was superb in every aspect and couldn’t fault it.|The pub next door served good home cooked food and was reasonably priced. The vegetarian option was so nice.|Would definitely return should we ever be that way again.

Booked a two night stay last minute, after finding our original Air BnB place unsuitable. Stayed Sunday and Monday, with our 6 month old very nervous pup. …
