I cannot praise this hotel enough! What an absolute gem of a find! Free, convenient parking was followed by a short walk up to the front door. We were then greeted by the lovely owners who showed us to our room and even made us a pot of tea. The room was spotless, with it's own small lounge and very comfortable beds. The room was very quiet and had lovely views out of both windows. The hosts had even gone to the trouble of putting up a birthday banner and they kindly provided two bottles of bubbly for my wife's big birthday! Breakfast each day was also superb and was so good that we couldn't manage lunch at all! Free WIFI is also provided throughout the whole building, which is again spotless, comfortable and well equipped. The service throughout our stay was just incredible and we will definitely be returning!

Wonderful Hotel!

A lovely luxury stay with everything we needed. We were very well looked after and wanted for nothing. The room was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

Breakfast was a real treat with local ingredients and lots of choice. We will certainly be back!

Wonderful place with everything we needed!

The house is in a perfect location to explore Exmoor and West Somerset while also serving as a quiet and peaceful retreat. We packed loads into our break, from Dunster Castle to the Tarr Steps and seeking out Exmoor ponies. Room very spacious with stunning views. Andy and Tanya are wonderful hosts and we hope to return soon.

Short break in West Somerset, close to Exmoor

What’s not to like! Lovely friendly hosts who run a spotless bed and breakfast, extremely comfortable with a wonderful breakfast , the whole place has a lovely ambience with fantastic views. Please try this place for yourselves you won’t be disappointed!

A one night 80th Birthday surprise!

We had a wonderful few days staying in an extremely comfortable room with far-reaching views. Tanya and Andy are wonderful hosts; we had a last-minute change to our booking and they were very understanding and accommodating. Nothing is too much trouble. 
Lots to see and do in the area; an early morning walk up Dunkery Beacon was a highlight and Dunster and its castle are well worth a visit. 
Wootton Courtenay is delightful and everyone we met was so friendly - a small village with a big heart. 

Thank you Tanya and Andy for your kindness and wonderful hospitality. We hope to return!

Comfort and hospitality in a peaceful rural setting

A great place surrounded by superb landscapes. Very comfortable rooms, top breakfast, smart activity advices: all organized by super friendly owners. A great location operating at top standards  and a smart starting point to visit this region.

Top place in this beautiful region

Tanya and Andy were friendly helpful hosts. We had a  spotlessly clean spacious room with a lovely view of the countryside and a comfortable bed. Andy does a splendid breakfast with locally sourced ingredients. Enough to keep us going until dinner! Highly recommended!

Really lovely B and B!

We took the whole place to celebrate an 80th birthday. It was a wonderful couple of days with stunning walks, good local restaurants and pubs.
The trip was absolutely made by Andy and Tanya who looked after us so well. They managed to produce a full breakfast for 20 of us both mornings, and couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating. 

We brought our dog and they provided treats, a dog bowl, and a couple of throws for the furniture which was a really nice touch.

Wonderful place in stunning location run by very friendly hosts.

Unfortunately, we only spent one night in this immaculately presented and sympathetically decorated former Hunting Lodge.

We were thrilled to find it positioned on the edge of the delightfully quiet Exmoor village of Wooton Courtney, and approached via beautifully maintained gardens.

From its elevated location, our ground-floor bedroom had enviable views across Exmoor National Park, looking gently upwards towards Dunkery Beacon (the highest point on Exmoor, Somerset, and in southern England, outside of Dartmoor).

Andy & Tanya are the consummate hosts, who clearly care deeply about their guests’ overall experience and wellbeing, serving-up only the finest locally sourced produce in impeccable style.

Having stayed in an eclectic mix of high-quality accommodation over the years, we can honestly say Dunkery Beacon Country House is right up there with the very, very best of them.

Would we stay here again…. without any question we would, and for longer than only one night next time!

Oh and the bed was lush.....

Cannot improve on the superlatives given by other guests. Suffice it to say my husband said ne’d enjoyed every single minute even when unconscious - a tribute to the very comfortable beds & quiet location. Great location with marvellous views. Best food I’ve had anywhere - locally sourced,imaginatively prepared & beautifully presented. Individual requests are willingly catered for & Jane seems to have a phenomenal memory for guests’ preferences & creates a calm welcoming atmosphere. Many guests are “repeats” & we aim to join that happy band having booked our next visit.
