In this Grade II listed building at the foot of the castle, tastefully decorated bedrooms are supplied with sparkling water, a pack of chocolate chip cookies, chocolates, and even a glass of sherry; most overlook the cobbled high street. Breakfasts are fresh and varied. In the evenings, guests are welcome to enjoy their own food or a takeaway in the bar (plates, glasses, cutlery, and the washing up! are all provided). There’s also a deli next door, and numerous eateries and bars nearby.

Tea and cake, invaluable local knowledge and recommendations, and many personal touches are provided by James and Jane at their welcoming B&B in a Grade II listed Georgian house near the castle. Just relax, or plan a day out from a selection of maps and guidebooks in one of the comfortable lounges. The spacious, well-equipped bedrooms have thermostatically controlled heating. Satisfying breakfasts include a Full Exmoor, freshly cooked.
