Dunkery Beacon Country House

So lucky to have found wonderful Dunkery Beacon Country House in the heart of beautiful Exmoor! Magnificent views are right on the doorstep of this lovely place to stay and Room 5 is a perfect home from home with it's cosy private sitting room. Andy and Tanya couldn't do more to make you feel like really welcome guests - it's hard to leave, but a joy to think about going back!

Well this accommodation did not disappoint. It was immaculately clean, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was spacious and the view was stunning. We were upgraded to one of the four poster rooms with a separate sitting room and it suited our needs well. The upgrade was volunteered by the proprietors and was not sought. What a delight it was though. The rooms were warm and there were spare blankets, bath robes and quality toiletries. I think whichever room we had would have been a very positive experience. Breakfast was wonderful, plenty of choice, fresh fruit juices, delightful coffee. The full English was very nicely cooked, as was the scrambled egg muffin we also tried. The proprietors were charming, parking and situation was idyllic. One of my favourites, a small thing but so welcome, was the availability of fresh milk in a fridge in reception. The beverages in the room were first class all round. I can highly recommend this for a stay and we hope to revisit in the future.

My husband and I wanted a relaxing, quiet and peaceful weekend, this is exactly what was waiting for us. On arrival Tanya and Andy were the perfect hosts, Andy helped us to the room with our bags and we started to talk about restaurants. We mentioned that we had tried to book Reeves in Dunster, unfortunately it was fully booked. Andy came up with some other options. About 15 minutes later there was a knock on the door, it was Andy, he was on the phone to Reeves and had managed to book a table for us for the evening. The accommodation was excellent, our room was very comfortable, and we had a beautiful view over the Somerset countryside towards Dunkery Beacon. The breakfast on both mornings was beautifully cooked, with excellent local produce and I can highly recommend the full English. Andy and Tanya were always available to help and advise, and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be returning.
