“Lunch time visits to the Staghunter Inn at Brendon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We were holidaying in a cottage for a week in Exmoor over New Year and stumbled upon this excellent pub.

We visited a couple of times with our two young children and on both occasions had lunch. The childrens requirements were taken care off and nothing was a problem for them even to the extent of making tomato soup without basil for the kids! We all thoroughly enjoyed the food which was homemade and absolutely delicious.

As we enjoyed our visit so much to both the pub and the beautiful surrounding countryside we are planning to return but this time we plan to stay at the pub.

Highly recommended.

“Wonderful Weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

person found this review helpful

Thank you Richard, Wendy and family for another fabulous weekend at the Staghunters. It has become an annual trip for our group of friends and dogs from Cornwall and London - I think this was our sixth visit together though some of our party have been coming for longer. As usual the hospitality and food was fabulous - its difficult to know what to choose from the menu as I always want everything! There is always a warm welcome in the bar where we congregate when we aren't walking in the beautiful countryside around Brendon. This year the weather was wonderful - an added bonus. We also had balcony rooms with a fantastic view across the gardens and countryside beyond. We always meet interesting and friendly people amongst the other guests at the Staghunters and this year was no exception. We all lead busy and stressful lives in the real world and our annual long weekend at the Staghunters is such a stress-buster. We are back in March and can't wait - I think we may have to make it two trips a year!

Room Tip: The balcony rooms at the back have fabulous views

“So many people can't be wrong.”

Back to the Staghunters for a late summer break. On the first night it was great to me two couples we had met there last year and later that evening another couple from last year turned up with their 2 dogs. I went out for a cigarette and got talking to a woman who, with her party, visited at least twice a year. Amazingly, the next night, two more couples turned up who had also been there last year. So, on our second night, nearly all in the bar were returning guest and not just returning for the second time.

I have written about the hotel and staff on several occasions and the service and quality is still excellent. Food is great value and you will not go hungry.

The hotel is undergoing a services refurbishment adding solar power and air pumps to make it carbon neutral but this will not interfere with your stay.

Thanks to the owners and staff for a great relaxing stay. Your dedication and commitment to providing a first class hotel is greatly appreciated. It seems I am not alone in thinking that this hotel, in an area of outstanding beauty, is just the perfect location for a visit to Exmoor.

Room Tip: River view to the front, balconies on the rear. If you don't like stairs, room 5 is on the grou...

“Excellent food and beer”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011 via mobile

I didn't stay at the stag hunters inn but stopped for lunch whilst passing on a walk. The food was excellent (choice from 3 menus plus and specials board) together with superbly kept beer and friendly efficient service made for a very pleasant lunch.

note. If you are using the trip advisor iPad app the location is shown about 20 miles from where it should be despite the address being correct this seems to be. "feature" of this app.
