Dulverton is the gateway to Exmoor with its unspoilt moorland, valleys, woodland and wildlife stretching to a dramatic coastline rich in legend. Exmoor National Park has its headquarters here and under Europe’s very first International Dark Sky Reserve so you can wonder freely at the universe and maybe be amazed by a meteor shower. Within Exmoor there are the tallest trees, the highest cliffs and the highest number of wild Red Deer in England. Native Exmoor ponies live freely among almost 250 species of bird and over 1000 different flowering plants and grasses. There are over 4,000 archaeological sites representing some 8,000 years of history. Exmoor is a beautiful, accessible and often overlooked part of the country. Whether you’re visiting Snowdrop Valley in early spring, wild swimming or exploring beaches in the summer, walking though ancient woodlands followed by a cream tea, stargazing by the campfire in autumn, going back in time on the steam train to Dunster or experiencing twinkling Dulverton by Starlight in December, this is an all year round destination that offers something for everyone whatever the weather. Explore on foot, bike, horse, by steam train, furnicular railway, car or a safari’s four wheel drive and experience the incredible wildlife and rich heritage. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and ensuite wetroom. Our third double bedroom can either be set up with 2 twin single beds OR one king size bed. Our dining room doubles up as a games room and dog hotel. As well as dining for six, it is set up with a five foot pool table, table tennis, board games and a PlayStation 3.
