Exmoor Manor Guest House

About Exmoor Manor Guest House

Exmoor Manor is a family-run guest house at Barbrook, in the hills a short drive above Lynton and Lynmouth, on the road that climbs from the coast onto the open moor. It is the most affordable option on this list and the least formal, which is precisely the appeal for walkers, cyclists and anyone travelling with a dog.

Bedrooms are all en suite and straightforward rather than luxurious, with tea and coffee facilities, a small fridge and complimentary toiletries. There is a residents' bar and lounge, a garden, and generous free parking, which is a real advantage given how tight parking is down in the two towns.

Dogs are genuinely welcome rather than merely tolerated, and the location suits people who intend to be out all day. The Valley of Rocks, Watersmeet and the coast path are all within a few minutes' drive or a decent walk, the moorland around Brendon Common begins almost immediately behind the house, and Barbrook itself has a shop. Lynton's restaurants and the cliff railway are around a mile downhill, though the return climb is steep enough that most guests drive or take the bus.
