National Trust - Holnicote Estate

Good place for HF holidays with lovely walks in Exmoor. Breakfast, packed lunch and dinners are included, also a choice of guided walks. Everyone is friendly and easy to get on with. The rooms are a bit dated, bed is comfortable, shower and toilet en suite.

I stayed here with my nan recently, we went for days out independently as opposed to joining walking groups. Despite not joining them, we were made to feel part of the team and joined in with the evening entertainment and sat socially at dinner. I wasn't sure about this at first however I soon got to know each individual and we spent the week telling each other about our days out. The accomodation was small and cosy, great shower and comfy beds. All the staff were highly accomodating and friendly making effort to ensure everyone has a great time despite the usual issues of being short staffed, you wouldn't have noticed. The food was delicious, of wedding qaulity and the kitchen staff were punctual so no one is left waiting. This was a great experience and as a 27yr old I'd encourage more young people to go as you'll have a great time!

accommodations appropriate. Meals were exceptional for a hiking group. Not gourmet but balanced and well-prepared. Wait service super attentive.

We are National Trust members and are visiting various sites in the Exmoor area. The Holnicote estate is huge so we picked a couple of places within. Horner has a great woodland walk, good for dogs, the Tea Garden there is privately run, their coffee is packets you add water to ugh! Food average. On to Bossington, quaint cottages, tea garden with proper coffee and great scones. Local beach consists of massive pebbles piled up into a rampart worth a look but don't expect a beach.

I must admit I was disappointed in this. The areas included in the Holnicote estate are beautiful for hiking but the house and park itself, although lovely, does not offer much and we turned back to some of the hiking tracks and towns around after a short visit.

Terrific gift shop selling beautiful local crafts, well priced. Delightful cosy cottage tea room with a great range of homemade cakes. Stunning scenery, gorgeous gardens.

Stayed here with HF Holidays as a base for a walking holiday on Exmoor. HF are experienced co in offering different types of walking holidays at locations around the UK Guided, Self guided and specialist interest holidays.

Lovely place for a walk. Because we have visited this place on Sunday, we couldn't use a café. Maybe next time, as we'd like to come back.
