Dunkery Beacon Country House

Dunkery Beacon Country House is everything I imagined a country house would be - right out of an English novel. Beautiful views from the windows - well-tended, flowering mature gardens give way to grazing horses and a green distant horizon. Rooms are spacious with well chosen decor. Lots of natural light gives a sense of well being. The entire property is well-maintained and sparkling clean. Breakfasts are generous and graciously served with perfectly prepared bright, fresh ingredients. The gardens and large sitting room offer more relaxation. Beverages, including, alcohol are available. Another guest - who had extended his stay, said it best: “This is a great place!”

We had an incredible stay at Dunkery Beacon Country House. Andy and Tanya are so friendly and caring. They are so attentive to every detail and question, when asked . The comfort and cleanliness of the room was amazing .How lucky are we, to have found this gem. The breakfasts were so delicious, I wish I’d taken a photo of them especially the individual fruit bowls . The location is perfect for exploring the area and walkers will be delighted with all the different options available. We would highly recommend Dunkery Beacon Country House to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay. Five stars isn’t enough - we would give ten if we could . Thank you for looking after us so well Andy and Tanya it was such a pleasure to meet you both .

Andy and Tanya are fantastic hosts - the rooms are always immaculate (we have stayed in 3 of them so far) and breakfast is always wonderful! The Dunkery Beacon Hotel is set in the heart of Exmoor, the views are amazing and it is such a peaceful place to stay. There is so much to do and see in this area ~ you won't be disappointed!

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.

A brilliant place and such kind and welcoming hosts. The perfect weekend break in a wonderful location. The room was extremely comfortable and the breakfast delicious. Well positioned for visiting Dunster, Porlock, and walks from the doorstep onto Exmoor.

We had a nice room with a view over Somerset countryside. The breakfasts were delicious, and served hot. Tanya and Andy went out of there way to help us with recomendations for dinner and tours. I can recommend Dunster castle, and the Tanya's recommended walk from the hotel.
