About

The Exmoor White Horse Inn is set in Exford, in the heart of Exmoor National Park, on the banks of the River Exe. This award winning 16th-century inn offers freshly prepared, locally sourced meals in the on-site restaurant. All rooms are individually furnished and feature private private bathrooms, TVs, and tea/coffee facilities. The evening meal menu includes trout, game birds and rare breed beef, along with an extensive bar menu served daily. A traditional Sunday carvery menu is also available.

    • The room was cold when we arrived and it took a long time to warm up, it was the same on the second day. We thought the price we paid for the room was quite expensive.

    The breakfast was excellent, staff super friendly and welcoming. The cleanliness of the room was excellent and our pet was most welcome too. The location really good for touring Exmoor. A great place to stay

    Absolutely nothing.

    Chosen for it’s position in the moor. Staff were particularly nice.

    It’s an old building with small rooms, the beds weren’t particularly comfortable.

    8JuliePosted on: 9-15-2024

    Excellent breakfast choice and quality. Good dinner menu, again of very good quality. Beautiful location.

    Car parking a bit tight on busy nights.

    10SuePosted on: 9-13-2024

    The friendly atmosphere was lovely, wonderful hospitality and an exceptionally comfortable room with a lovely view.

    10BrianPosted on: 8-29-2024

    Beautiful location. Charming country inn. Super facilities. Great breakfast. Super restaurant.

    9TimothyPosted on: 8-11-2024

    This is a beautiful place in a great location. My son and I enjoyed sitting in the sun, next to the river, drinking lager after a hard day's riding at the Dave Thorpe Honda Off-road Centre. The staff and other guests were really friendly, the food was excellent and the rooms comfortable and spotlessly clean.

    The cost of drinks would probably stop me from visiting again.

    9PeterPosted on: 6-15-2024

    There was nothing to dislike.

    Food was good. Staff were pleasant. Decent bar and a pleasant setting.

    Our room was very hot as it was south facing and had little air. Charged my EV there and I didn't get many miles for my money. Thought it was a bit pricey overall for what it was.

    8TatianaPosted on: 10-25-2023

    Lovely country side stay, room was comfortable and has everything you need. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good too. A lot of walks around the area with beautiful views.

    Only thing is that our window opens to the car park so not much of a view.

    5RogerPosted on: 9-28-2023

    Breakfast was fine and the location was lovely!

    Staff were less than welcoming at reception and in the "pub". The "pub" is a very strange seating set-up and the food served there was POOR! When we commented to the wait staff (my wife's dinner was inedible.... a plate of lamb breast fat and gristle)......we were told the chef would be advised!!!! No apology or offer of another dish!

    Location, ambience,lovely staff, comfy beds and food.

    The shower

    7BrianPosted on: 8-8-2023

    Excellent food, especially in the restaurant.

    Some confusion about accuracy of billing.. Due to the age of the building it often seemed very dark, especially in the restaurant.

    8JoachimPosted on: 8-2-2023

    Great staff, food and location for hiking.

    No water pressure in the shower, although pressure in the faucet worked well. Owner must have put a plug into the pipe to save water, resulting in a 15 minute hair wash. It was heavily raining and water is definitely NOT a rare source. Even walls were wet and lots of very unhealthy mold visible in our ‚superior‘ room.

    10MarieannePosted on: 8-2-2023

    The breakfasts were AMAZING! The staff are all so friendly and just lovely. The food in the bar/restaurant was really good. We had such a great experience that I'd recommend this hotel to everyone that wanted a good base for North Devon and Exmoor National Park.

    The beds were a bit hard for us, however you can't please everyone's personal mattress taste!
