“Within Exmoor National Park and surrounded by National Trust land, the Old Rectory is naturally calm and a perfect location for guests who enjoy walking or just sitting looking at marvellous scenery. Rooms are sensible and unfussy, much like the menus which offer some excellent dishes made with local fish and meat. The wine list is exceptional. But the real reason people go back is because they like Huw Rees and Sam Prosser, two ‘corporate escapees’ whose dream the hotel was and who are particularly good at getting the details right. They will remember that your wife is dairy intolerant and the names of your children. This is a calm, unpretentious, truly friendly hotel that is deservedly popular.”
