On the basis of the praise that 10 out of 10 reviewers gave this place, we decided to give this hotel a try. We were disappointed, overall. The booking was ok, with some mistakes. I asked about the fact that it only had 2 stars, and should not have taken the answer seriously, it really is a two star, or... more

The hotel is in an isolated position surrounded by lovely woodland in a steep valley. Very good, personal service. I felt like a valued customer. Nothing was too much trouble. Best afternoon tea ever and it's included in the price. Not recommended if you hate cats (we love them) as there are two house cats who will check you out... more

We last visited this hotel in 1979 and have finally made it back! Although under different ownership It is still a wonderful place to stay with superb food and a lovely location. more

Having visited Heddons Gate many times under it's previous owner we arrived with a little trepidation, however any misgivings were soon dispelled by the warmest of welcomes, the finest of food, both dinner and breakfast, the comfiest of bedrooms with quality bedding and towels, all accompanied by one of the finest settings in Exmoor. We so enjoyed our visit we... more

While difficult to find, it is definitely worth the journey. The owners were lovely and the setting is beautiful. We stayed in the "Boys Room" which was by far, the largest room we had during our travels with a wonderful view. more

A very friendly and welcoming country house hotel with real character set in amazing scenery on Exmoor. Anne and Eddie Eyles, the owners, make your stay very special. The room was lovely with fabulous views and the food was fantastic (breakfast, dinner and afternoon tea!) We really felt relaxed and cared for and will definitely be visiting again very shortly.... more

I have stayed at this hotel for the past three years - the length of time the present owners Annie and Eddie have owned it and I can say that the service, friendliness, food and rooms are second to none. Annie and Eddie are perfect hosts who will try to accomodate you in anyway they can. The food is wonderful.... more

As frequent visitors to this hotel over a twenty year period we were so very disappointed when it closed a few years back. We were therefore delighted to learn that it had re-opened under the ownership of Anne and Eddie Eyles. On arrival we received the friendliest of welcomes and soon found that our favourite room was still as comfortable... more

This is a small privalely owned hotel run by the owners who are also the chefs. Food is excellent with a lot of the ingredients produced and farmed in Devon. If you take the half board option , a very english afternoon tea is included, which is very indulgent. Rooms are comfortable and individually furnished . The hotel ajoins the... more
