Clean and comfortable + a great location in the centre of Dulverton
Pros:

Great location, old coach house with history. A few free spaces available outside for parking.

Cons:

It was a little bit dated but I feel if you were to modernise it, would take away the character of the building

Familiengeführtes historisches Hotel zum Wohl fühlen
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt zentral im zauberhaften Ort Dulverton inmitten von sanften Hügeln und schönen AussichtSorten, die zum wandern einladen. Wir wurden herzlich begrüßt und während unseres Aufenthaltes bei allen Fragen freundlich begleitet.

A disappointing experience.
Pros:

The hotel is situated in a quiet cul de sac below the pretty Church and next door to a gastro pub where we ate on the first evening. The staff were friendly and helpful and our bed was comfortable and the room quiet, with a roomy bathroom adjacent. The furnishings throughout are traditional with a feel of the past, especially all the hunting trophies and old photos of the property and information.

Cons:

We booked late and had the last room available - it was very tired and needs decorating for the ceiling in particular is cracked and the light fitting dangerous looking. Everything works but the wardrobe leans at an angle and is very poor quality and the dressing table serves as the place for drinks making with a mirror that really only reflects the legs ! The wall mounted TV is OK, but so small as to make watching anything unpleasant whilst the macerator in the bathroom is noisy and functions even when using the washbasin. Filling the bath with hot/ warm water took a quarter of an hour ! Everything in there needs updating if the hotel is to charge the same rates as for top quality stays elsewhere.

Convenient location but expensive for the low grade decor.
Pros:

Location is perfect if visiting Dulverton.
Staff are welcoming. Breakfast was good.

Cons:

The whole place is very tired/worn and needs an update, although it’s clean and comfortable.
The bar was closed on both Friday and Saturday which is a bit odd for a local pub.

Dulverton is a stop off for us on our way to Devon or Cornwall. No complaints, we got what paid for.
Pros:

Great location, charming little town on the edge of Exmoor. Beautiful setting, largely unspoilt.

Cons:

Sad to see such a wonderful old establishment in need of so much investment. It probably just about gets by but unfortunately looks quite dejected. Ok for a couple of nights perhaps and a chance to see such a beautiful area. Doubt we will stay here again.
