I have now stayed at the White Horse 4 times, and each time it has been fantastic. The bedrooms are always spotless and well furnished.......with good bathrooms and great showers. The food, as usual, was without fault - great choice and plenty of it. The bar is particularly worth a mention - roaring fires, stone floors, and the locals make it great fun! I have taken my dog a couple of times and the hotel is always very accommodating. Lovely village, and great walks on the doorstep - I would thoroughly recommend it!

We have just returned from spending a wonderful 3 night break over the New Year with Peter and Linda(who was ill and unfortunately we did not see a lot of, but we are sure from when we did see her she was as charming and helpful as husband Peter) who provide a welcome through themselves and their staff from the lady on reception on our arrival and in the restaurant and bar throughout our stay .
The food we found to be exceptional with wonderfully presented starters, really tasty soups, nice variety of sorbets and cheeses, not to mention the main courses and varieties available and always a coffee and mint to finish. The weekend atmosphere was set by the efforts throughout the premises but really noticeable at the restaurant and little touches such as champagne and goodies in the rooms for New Year.
The place is alive with ideas of things to get out and do and there are very helpful walk guides at reception.
We will most certainly be returning to enjoy the lovely relaxed atmosphere at the next opportunity.

First, the upside. We had a superior room which was very spacious and very comfortable at the back of the hotel overlooking the village green/playing field. The huge bed was supremely comfortable and there was a large TV and coffee/tea/chocolate making facilities plus biscuits. The bathroom was also large with plenty of space either side of the handbasin for our toiletries. We stayed for three nights and our towels were changed every day.
The hotel is well located in an attractive village in the centre of Exmoor with two shops and a post office nearby. The hotel facilities and staff are great. The hotel provided us with plenty of information on local activities. On our first day we enjoyed a six mile walk around the River Exe Valley which was one of those recommended by the hotel and on the second day we took one of their suggested drives around Exmoor which was equally pleasurable but easier on the feet!
On the downside we felt that the food could have been a lot better - I enjoyed a very special homemade Chicken Kiev with fresh vegetables but otherwise none of our main courses met our expectations. Starters and puddings in general were fine. The self-service hot breakfast buffet in particular was, in our opinion, below standard - it appeared to have been put out for the 8 am start and when we arrived on our first morning at 9.am there was only a small amount of dried up bacon left and everything else was cool. The next day we avoided the buffet and ordered smoked haddock and poached egg but the fish was tasteless and dry. On our third morning we ordered poached egg on toast - perfect!
We would have loved to have come back to the Exmoor White Horse Inn for another holiday but, in out opinion, the food is not good enough. Such a shame.

We have just stayed at The Exmoor White Horse Inn our first visit to Exmoor. It was just simply perfect. The attention to detail and the level of service were excellent. Peter the manager was charming and nothing was too much trouble. How rare these days to find a place where the customer is made to feel truly welcome. We will return soon
