If you are searching for a place to stay in Exmoor, highly recommend Tarr Farm Inn! After a recent stay, you can understand why it receives so many glowing reviews – it is truly a wonderful place.||Nestled at the bottom of a small valley by a tranquil river, the location is incredibly peaceful (no phone signal but there is free Wi-Fi).||The staff were very welcoming, friendly, efficient, and helpful from making the booking to check-out.||The building is charming, lovingly decorated, and very cosy. It has a separate pub and restaurant, with plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Lovely furnishings, background music and ambience. ||They serve breakfast, lunch and evening meals. There is a wide variety of breakfast options. A three-course main meal in the restaurant is about £45/pp (excluding drinks) but worth every penny. All food was delicious.||The bedrooms are in a separate purpose-built section, with some on the ground floor and others upstairs. They are decorated in a modern yet cosy style, are very clean and have everything you need – a comfortable double bed, ample storage, fridge, drink facilities, modern bathroom with toiletries, plenty of plugs, and a lovely view over the rolling hillside. Despite the hot weather, the room remained cool and has large windows you can fully open for fresh air.||During the day, it is a popular spot due to the river, walking trails (along the river or up the hills onto the moors), and the pub/restaurant. Parking is limited, but there is a public car park a five-minute walk up the lane/hill (on the right). Parked there temporarily then moved the car to the Inn’s own car park when spaces became available in the evening.||Tarr Farm Inn is very isolated (no local village or bus route), so you need to drive (use TA22 9QA in your satnav to avoid ending up on the wrong side of the river). But that is part of its charm – it is a perfect getaway! Plus, it is so quiet at night, so you sleep very well and, if the skies are clear, you can enjoy a stunning night sky view.||A big thank you to everyone at Tarr Farm Inn for such a lovely stay!
