The Hunters' Inn holds pride
of place within one of Exmoor's most outstanding areas of natural beauty, the
Heddon Valley. The inn has been a focal point for both locals and visitors to
the area since the mid 19th century, when the Berry family first started serving
beer from their kitchen. The original inn started life as a thatched cottage but
in 1895 was almost totally destroyed by fire. Over the following few years it
was rebuilt in its current present day form.
The Hunters' Inn owned large tracks of land in and around the Heddon valley and was one of the largest employers in the area. It was regular frequented by the 'well heeled' and a number of famous people crossed its threshold. In more recent times a large part of the Hunters' estate was sold off to the National Trust and today there is still a close tie between the NT centre in the Heddon valley and the Hunters' Inn, which is just a short walk away.
The Inn has immense charm and character and is just a short walk away from the sea at Heddon's Mouth. The inn is set in over four acres of landscaped gardens and ponds, that are accessible by residents and visitors to the inn, and bordered on one side by the rivers Heddon and Blackwater that flow down to the sea at Heddon's mouth. There is an abundance of local wildlife including stags and deer.
The Inn has eight en-suite guest rooms, a private residents' lounge and a dining room. Bar snacks and hot food are available in our two main bar areas or in fine weather, outside at the front of the Inn or on the rear patio overlooking the gardens. We cater for children and vegetarians and pride ourselves in offering a wide range of wholesome, freshly cooked locally sourced food. This is complemented by an extensive range of local ales, wines and spirits served in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Well behaved dogs are welcome within the bar areas and in the rooms, but not in the restaurant or residents' lounge. There is a small charge (£8 per day) for dogs staying over to cover the additional cleaning costs.
The Inn is an ideal place to explore the magnificent North Devon coastline and the Exmoor National Park. There are numerous footpaths that lead from the Inn and take you along the South West coastal path to either Lynton/Lynmouth or Combe Martin/Ilfracombe in the other direction. In addition, there are many local circular routes that allow you to appreciate the splendour and natural unspoilt beauty of the Heddon valley.
Rates: £40-65 pppn to include full English breakfast.
