A very special place to stay on the Exmoor coast
Set high above the coast in the peaceful surroundings of Exmoor National Park, The Old Rectory is a small boutique country house hotel where you can truly relax, recharge and feel at home.
The hotel is family-owned and personally run by us, Huw and Sam, together with our wonderful team. Both the hotel and restaurant are exclusively for resident guests, creating a peaceful, exclusive and intimate atmosphere and allowing us to offer genuinely warm, thoughtful and personal hospitality throughout your stay.
Enjoy individually designed bedrooms, wonderfully comfortable beds and outstanding food prepared with the finest ingredients from Exmoor and Devon, accompanied by a carefully chosen, award-winning wine list. Beyond our doors, spectacular coast and countryside await, with the South West Coast Path just moments away.
There are no crowds and no traffic here—only birdsong, beautiful gardens and breathtaking scenery. Whether you come to walk, explore, celebrate or simply slow down, we will make your stay feel genuinely special.
In 2027, we are delighted to be celebrating 20 seasons of friendships and hospitality here at The Old Rectory. Over those years, so many guests have arrived as visitors and returned as friends. We would love you to become part of our story.

No crowds or traffic to disturb the peace; just birdsong and jaw dropping scenery, and we’re just off the South West Coast path in the staggeringly beautiful Exmoor National Park in unspoilt North Devon
We have eleven individually designed, beautiful bedrooms and a reputation for great food which we source from our fabulous local larder
