Accommodation around Exmoor ranges from Georgian townhouse hotels in Bath to modest bed and breakfasts tucked into villages near the moor itself. Dunster and Minehead make sensible bases for walkers and those heading onto Exmoor proper, with guesthouses and B&Bs like Millstream Cottage or The Cedars offering a straightforward night's stay within easy reach of the coast path and the hills.
Further afield, Bath and Weston-super-Mare bring a different character to the list, from smart city hotels such as Abbey Hotel to seaside guesthouses suited to a shorter stopover. Glastonbury and Chard sit somewhere between the two, useful for exploring the Somerset Levels or breaking a longer journey.
With so many options across such varied towns, it is worth deciding first whether you want moorland quiet, coastal air, or city convenience, as that will narrow the choice more than anything else.
