An historic building oozing with character and full of original features, The Great House is a Grade II Listed, 17th century Country House offering luxury accommodation in traditional English style. A visit to Exmoor National Park is much more than enjoying the spectacular scenery - why not immerse yourself completely in our way of life and book an experience?

From Golf, Alpaca Walking and trekking the moors on Horseback, through to being a Keeper for the day at Exmoor Zoo or a Sea Kayak Guided Tour, there is so much to do both on land and water.

All five of our bedroom suites are large and filled with light flooding in from the large Georgian sash windows. Each bedroom has been extensively refurbished over recent months, with great emphasis placed on the sympathetic restoration of the many original period features. Designer fabrics from GP & J Baker, Thibaut and Sanderson compliment historic paint colours by Farrow & Ball.

Our most accessible room, the dog-friendly Dunster Suite is on the ground floor and has a wealth of period features dating from 1690; the highest ceilings of all the bedrooms, floor-to-ceiling wooden panelling, wide elm planked floor and a recently discovered marble fire surround with Delft tiles. Antique furniture and French bronze chandelier sit comfortably alongside modern armchairs and an impressive 6ft wide by 6ft6in Super King size bed.

Lorna Doone Suite

Report

Nicknamed "The Honeymoon Suite", this room is fit for a Princess and her Prince - or anyone who wants a truly romantic getaway. Although undoubtedly our most feminine room, the pinky-brown panelling is offset with delicate blue furnishings which stops it being overly girly. An impressive 5ft King size bed is topped with a stunningly beautiful half tester canopy.
