Such a lovely warm greeting was what awaited us on arrival at this beautiful peaceful hotel, the view from the front terrace is the most wonderful place to enjoy cake and coffee and our room was spotlessly clean and warm with fluffy white towels and cotton sheets. There are plenty of places to eat nearby but after such an enormous breakfast (and sausages for our puppy!) we didn't need much else.  Our hosts Mark and Pat couldn't do enough for us, they helped explain where all the best walks are, including the path straight from the door to the lovely hidden cove of Heddon's Mouth and The Old Carriage Path. We cannot wait to return.

Hidden Gem

A warm welcome from extremely helpful owners. An incredibly peaceful location- just the sounds of the Haddon River, tawny owls and rutting red deer. Lovely, clean room with plenty of character.  And great food too! It's the perfect hotel!!

Loved it @

I found this hotel though an internet search as, due to the pandemic, I was having trouble finding accommodation for the dates we wanted.  The Heddons Gate Hotel was just what we wanted, quiet and secluded, clean and comfortable, great breakfast and welcoming hosts.  Mark and Pat made us feel really at home, and nothing was too much trouble.  Complimentary tea and cake is on offer every afternoon, when you can sit on the extensive patio areas and chat, or read, or just look at the fantastic view.  If you are a person that wants a lively nightlife or you are not comfortable with Devon’s narrow winding roads, then this probably isn’t the place for you, but otherwise it is the perfect destination.  I rarely give recommendations, but I can’t recommend this hotel enough.

Wow – What a find!

Just back from another wonderful trip to the Heddon’s Gate Hotel. You are always guaranteed the warmest if welcomes from owners Mark and Pat, together with comfortable and spotlessly clean rooms, delicious breakfasts (+ afternoon tea and cake) and glorious views. There’s plenty to see and do in the area and the walks are many and varied: coastal path explorations or inland country hikes; seaside visits or secluded coves. We love it here and relax instantly when we pull onto the hotel drive.

The perfect dog-friendly break

This is our 4th visit to Heddons Gate and it is wonderful. Mark and Pat are superb hosts and the accommodation is in a wonderfully quiet and picturesque setting. The hotel itself is spacious and beautiful; the breakfasts delicious and plentiful; the cleanliness is outstanding. 
Mark very kindly pre-warned us to book evening meals well in advance of our stay as restaurants were so booked up and this was vital advise.
Cannot recommend highly enough. 

An beautiful hotel with wonderful hosts

My husband & I & dog booked a three night stay here , our first break in 2 years. I initially called & spoke to Mark who was incredibly helpful & friendly ensuring that the room we chose would be right for us. 
We were greeted & shown around , left to settle in our room then offered tea & delicious cake.
The hotel is in an outstanding area surrounded by trees, exceptionally peaceful & tranquil , it has been simply & comfortably renovated with a relaxing atmosphere. Our room was very comfortable, spotlessly clean with everything you could need, including large bottles of toiletries in the bathroom.
The breakfasts were absolutely delicious, beautifully cooked& prepared with such wonderful choice & the special sausage bought on a little platter for our dog Beanie was the finishing touch. The hotel is very dog friendly .
The bar is well stocked & welcoming , a good place to chat with other guests after a day walking. Thank you Mark & Pat and your lovely staff for ensuring our stay was wonderfully relaxing.

Wonderful retreat

It’s hard to know where to start with this review as Mark & Pat were friendly from the outset, adapting our stay to accommodate the change in my wife’s health and ensuring at all times she was looked after. 

The hotel is stunning and the location allows you to feel a million miles away from our hectic lives but near enough to see all of the attractions 

The style of the breakfast menu is perfect & adapted to create little waste which is pleasing because it’s kind to the environment but also I feel we have a duty to ensure private hoteliers are able to not just survive but also make some profit and live a happy life  

The views from the room & terrace is worth the visit alone and the walk to Heddons mouth is not too taxing and well worth the visit.

Mark and Pat were so accommodating that when we asked for a pink gin, Mark went out of his way to ensure we got one although at the time they didn’t stock it 

Overall I would recommend this hotel to anyone as the owners will accommodate any reasonable request and ensure you are looked after. 
It is well worth the prices we paid and I would feel I was insulting the owners if I tried to better their prices as you get what you paid for, which is a truely outstanding service from start to finish

Amazing views. Amazing location and amazing hosts

Well what can we say? We needed to rest and relax and that is exactly what we received cocooned in pure nature surroundings so peaceful. Firstly a lovely warm welcome from owners Pat and Mark who deliver the best cuppa and cake ever also pet friendly our little Ted will be returning if only for his breakfast sausage! Worth every penny for comfortable stay. Recommended Hunters Inn down the driveway has wonderful food and good service too.

We stayed at Heddon's Gate in May, the week hotels were allowed to re-open.  I initially spoke to Mark some weeks before as my husband, spaniel and I were starting to walk the South West Coast path that week from Minehead.  He had some great suggestions for where to stay before we reached Heddon's Gate  After 3 long days of walking we were very glad to reach such a little oasis.   We were all made very welcome and the breakfast sausages for the dog were a great touch.  The places to eat and the taxi company recommended were all excellent.  We enjoyed our couple of nights and would love to return.

Warm welcome and comfortable stay

We spent four nights at the Heddon's Gate Hotel in July 2021. The current owners have renovated the hotel to a high standard. Our room was large, with beautiful views over the immaculate gardens and hills beyond, and the bathroom was  elegant, with a stand-alone shower and a bath. Mark and Pat made us feel very welcome, with restaurant recommendations before we left and suggestions for day trips. Breakfast was always a treat, with a good selection of cooked breakfasts available. We had dogs, who were also made to feel welcome (with water, regular treats and even a sausage at breakfast!). The hotel bar was well-stocked, and a free afternoon tea and cake were also available, if you hadn't tucked into a Devon cream tea beforehand. highly recommended.
