"Serving Exmoor by hoof, by foot, by wheel since 1592"

Without question one of the leading Hotels and Country Inns in the very heart of Exmoor, the property comes to the market after 34 years successful trading by the owners/proprietors. It is a distinctive period property of great character being three storeyed with a Virginia creeper clad front elevation.

In 2004 a major extension at the rear was added to provide a splendid Conference Room on the First Floor, new Kitchen on the Ground Floor and further Bedrooms added to bring it to 20 En-Suite Rooms, all of which are beautifully appointed. The Ground Floor includes a Main Bar of character with wood burning stove and exposed beams, the "Tom Faggus" Bar and Gallery and splendid Three Roomed Restaurant with two feature bay windows, covers for 60 and built-in Carvery, resident's Lounge again with woodburner, upgraded w/c facilities and large Commercial Kitchen and Ground Floor Bedrooms together with wine and beer cellars.

In addition, included in the sale, is the White Horse Lodge - a detached stone building bordered by the River Exe with car parking to the front. This includes 8 letting Bedrooms with two signatory rooms having access to a lovely side Garden bordered by the river. Overlooking the centre piece of the village - the green - the owner's cottage provides up to date and versatile 4 bedroom accommodation. 

Externally, is an extensive beer garden with covers for 70 and ample car parking spaces. 

In summary, a proven well established business with healthy turnover and net profit, trading throughout the year with loyal and dedicated staff.
