At Exmoor House you can...
Enjoy our great food, home-made using local produce (accompanied by a glass or two of your favourite tipple from our bar). Non-residents are very welcome to join us for dinner too - booking is essential.
Relax in our comfortable, thoughtfully-designed ensuite bedrooms (with big comfy beds) or in our cosy guest sitting room.
Escape
and take a short break (or a weekend break) from everyday life in our welcoming,
relaxed, smoke-free and TV-free atmosphere. It's also mobile phone-free: most
of them don't work up here.
Explore on
foot, by bicycle or in your car. Wheddon Cross makes an ideal base for exploring
Exmoor, Somerset and Devon, with some great walks starting from our door.
Celebrate in style or have a get-together with friends: book sole use of Exmoor House for a party of up to 12 people.

What do we offer?
Very comfortable guest accommodation in our characterful Edwardian house (orginally
built as a tailor's shop) in Exmoor's highest village; excellent food; great
value - especially our dinner, bed & breakfast
packages.
Exmoor House is licensed and completely non-smoking. Unlike some Exmoor hotels,
we don’t offer annoying little cartons of UHT milk or trouser presses. We
do, however, offer chintz-free, contemporary yet cosy en suite rooms
and a relaxed, log-fired, TV-free atmosphere. Exmoor House makes a great base,
whether you're planning to walk, cycle, or just get away from it all for a
while.
We're rated 4* Guest Accommodation by Visit Britain and we also have the Walkers Welcome and Cyclists Welcome awards. Currently we're working toward a Green Tourism Business Scheme award (see our environmental statement).
Where are we?
Exmoor House is in the village of Wheddon Cross, very close
to the route of the Coleridge Way, which links the
Quantocks to Exmoor. Stay here and refresh yourself before the final glorious
part of the walk, which takes you through woodland and the flanks of Dunkery
Beacon before you reach Porlock.
If you’re heading further west, perhaps to the Eden Project, Tate Gallery at St Ives, Damien Hirst’s Ilfracombe restaurant or the Rick Stein seafood mecca at Padstow, why not break your journey with a couple of nights at Exmoor House? You know it makes sense.
