The hotel offers truly comfortable beds and a lovely view from the rooms. The facilities are good, and the stunning views add to the overall experience.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with stunning views and really comfortable beds in the rooms. The service was excellent with great housekeeping, and they even had pet amenities available. The location was perfect, just a stone's throw away from the Exmoor hills and the onsite restaurant offered divine dining experiences. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
