Somerset Hotels
Nestled next to Devon on the South West coast of England, lies the beautifully picturesque coastal county of Somerset. Somerset is the perfectly favourable contrast to the hustle and bustle of city life, boasting an inland abundance of wild and wonderful nature bursting from the untouched landscape, which is fringed with a stunning coastline.
One of Somerset’s main attractions is its long line of distinctive beaches. Spread along the south-western coastline, lies a stunning mix of sandy and rocky beaches. The sandy beaches, such as Brean Beach or Weston Super Mare, make the perfect setting for the traditional family holiday- days lazing blissfully in the sun, building sand castles, and of course the famous donkey rides! The more beaches, such as Blue Anchor or Porlock Weir, make for more adventurous days finding fossils from the days of the Jurassic dinosaurs!
Above all, it is Somerset’s moors and nature reserves which give the area its reputation of natural beauty. Across the county is spread a diverse mix of natural havens, alive with Mother Nature’s most fantastic flora and fauna. The Somerset Levels and Moors are a raw and unspoilt area of coastal plains and wetland which border the Severn Estuary; it is a very popular attraction for countryside walks and cycle rides with the whole family. Exmoor national Park is another scenic delight which straddles the Devon and Somerset border, covering a total of 267.5 square miles of hilly moors and edged with 34 miles of breathtaking coast.
With all this splendour on offer, it is needless to say that when holidaying in Somerset, a central location with easy access to all that the countryside has to offer is high on the list of priorities. The Exmoor White Horse Inn fits this requirement perfectly. Situated next to the River Exe which flows through the great and dramatic depths of Exmoor, it is in the model position for exploring all that the area has to offer. The family run business boasts an impressive 28 unique and stylish bedrooms housed in a 16th century building, all offering colour televisions, phones, radio alarms and tea/coffee making facilities. To make the break that little bit extra special, some rooms even have 4 poster beds for that touch of luxury!
The hotel’s bar and restaurant holds a true traditional ‘country pub’ thanks to its cosy and relaxed atmosphere, log fire and top selection of famous real ales and malt whiskeys (which always taste better in the country!). There is also a selection of outside seating, which lends itself the enjoyment of a proper Devon cream tea in the sun, overlooking the River Exe and surrounding rolling countryside. The hotel is proud to offer a menu of genuine, honest home cooked food, boasting a professional team of chefs who all value local produce, making the most of the countryside setting. The charm of the hotel makes for a truly memorable visit, with great links to the surrounding natural wonders, for more information and exclusive offers, visit Somerset Hotel The Exmoor White Horse Inn.
