Set in the lovely old town of Exford on the banks of the River Exe, this 16th century building with its handsome period features is the perfect spot for a sporty weekend break or a romantic retreat.
Step through the door into the oak-beamed bar with its inviting wood-burning stoves, sink into a comfortable armchair and make yourself at home. The pub offers an array of over 200 malt whiskeys and an extensive wine list plus a water bowl for your four-legged friend if needed!
If you’re hungry the team of talented chefs who work closely with local suppliers to offer delicious home-cooked meals made with locally sourced ingredients.
There are two tempting menus to choose from – in the bar opt for pub classics such a traditional ploughman’s lunch, whole tail scampi and chips or the chef’s special homemade venison pie. If you’re vegetarian, try a tasty mushroom stroganoff or mixed bean chilli or if it’s just an afternoon treat you fancy then tuck into one of their sumptuous cream teas with freshly-baked scones, clotted cream and jam.
Or if you really want to push the boat out head into their Exmoor Restaurant, which offers a menu rich in game from the Moor, locally caught trout, salmon and lobster and organic produce from surrounding farms. Their popular Sunday carvery is an absolute must if you’re visiting over the weekend.
The family-run inn offers individually furnished rooms full of charm and character and a hearty cooked breakfast is included in the price the next morning. All rooms feature private en-suite bathrooms, TVs, and tea and coffee facilities. A bed for your pooch can also be provided at a small cost.
The area is popular for hiking and cycling, with the Exmoor Heritage Coast 20 minutes away by car, while the popular surfing beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde, and Saunton are within an hour’s drive. The villages of Lynton and Lynmouth are less than 30 minutes’ drive away.
