“Fascinating 7th visit”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

By returning frequently one might be accused of over familiarity.Not so!The welcome is always very friendly and helpful with luggage etc.Tea is a "pick me up" after the journey and the cake could be Huw's mouth watering chocolate brownie-not to be missed.There is constant improvements to the buildings and the new Orangery is a definitive must.Dinner and the excellent choice...

“A perfect weekend at The Old Rectory”

We needed a break, a really important one as we had recently been bereaved. This was our first visit to the Old Rectory, and maybe that was a gamble when we needed a special time away. But how that gamble paid off, we have never been so relaxed following a two day break in a hotel. This establishment is simply... More

“Good. A little scope for improvement.”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW via mobile

Overall, very welcoming and accommodating. Two things I was not keen on: - the ambiance at dinner was a little weird. Not too keen on background music and all felt a little bit like school dinner than an attempt at quality dining (as another couple commented to me, there was a feeling that if you didn't finish your greens ,...

“Superb second visit”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

Huw and Sam continue to get even better. Nothing to fault but everything to praise. We will be back again soon. Food is superb and wine list is excellent. Rooms are clean and well appointed. Afternoon tea is a bonus. A shame they cannot fix the weather!

This was our first visit to the Old Rectory and it certainly won't be our last. From the moment we were greeted by Huw we felt instantly at home and started to wind down.

“We felt like one of the family!”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

There aren't many hotels where you get introduced to the owners and they cook all the food themselves and make you feel like one of the family. We stayed in the 'Beeches' room for two nights. The room was spacious and beautifully furnished. The shower was extremely powerful and the complimentary Molton Brown toiletries added the finishing touch. The newly... More

It was a pleasure to meet you both last weekend and to have you here as our guests, particularly as you were celebrating such a special birthday!

“Outstanding”

Reviewed 4 May 2013

Huw and Sam effortlessly exude attentiveness without intrusiveness. But they combine this with an even rarer quality - anticipation of your needs. I have been guilty as anyone of disparaging British cuisine.. I was delighted to have been proved wrong. The mushroom soup was outstanding. As was the carrot cake. And the...

Your review was really kind and we are delighted that we were able to prove that British Cuisine is alive and well in deepest, darkest Exmoor! Thank you very much. More

We visited the hotel for two nights either side of a visit to Lundy in early April and we also visited two years ago. Felt completely spoiled by Huw and Sam who looked after us extremely well. The evening meals were delicious, with plenty of choice and complemented by great wines. Sitting in the new Orangery is very relaxing and... More
