Rooms above the pub were a little basic, but perfectly fine for the price. Rooms above the pub were noisy at night, but it's a pub so that has to be expected and it didn't bother us too much. The rooms in the separate buildings at the back were nice and peaceful. The food was good, but some of the options weren't available. Not a big deal though.

Very friendly staff. Good food. Pool table and darts board were a good addition. Great views from the garden and restaurant. Good value for money. We were given a late check out free of charge (it depends on availability), which was a nice touch.

The beds are quite hard - this is a matter of personal taste. And the sound insulation between the rooms in the A frame chalets isn't great.

The setting is lovely and the pub has great atmsosphere with a real mix of locals and visitors. The staff are so friendly and this is a truly dog-friendly place to stay. There's even a fenced off area for dogs to be able to run off lead. The food is really good too - proper home-cooked pub food and a great breakfast. We felt so welcome and would love to go back.

All good.

The room was comfortable, with a big bed. The shower was very good indeed. We enjoyed an excellent breakfast. We must give special mention to Debbie, who was very helpful with our transport dilemma.

Friendly service, delicious food. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and we had a rolling hillside view. Buster, our dog, was warmly welcomed in most areas of the inn.

Nothing, there's nothing to dislike

Everything. ! It was perfect for us. We were in the area due to a family bereavement, it is a very relaxing pub which helped us considerably. The breakfast is excellent, it's all freshly cooked food. We ate in the evenings there too and we found a good choice of food the portion size is great too. All the staff are friendly and helpful, it is well run, very clean, and you can see that the Poltimore is the heart of the Village, it's a fantastic place. We liked it so much that we're going back to spend a week or a little more there.

The atrocious and dreadful weather both day and night.

The lodge was small and compact but with firat class facilities. The lodge was neat and clean and tidy. I found out during our stay that if we wanted to use the telescopes in the observatory then we must book a stay inside the observatory itself because that also is a sleeping lodge. So I will do that next time we go there. Both nights of our stay were completely clouded over, so we got no chance to do any astronomical observing during our stay. The Poltimore Inn is on the edge of The Exmoor National Park, which is a protected dark sky reserve within the UK. Unfortunately I had no opportunity to test this or to see for myself these really dark and light pollution free skies because the weather was so bad, both day and night. We did not get to meet the owner of the Observatory, just the chef and bar staff and the waitresses who were really kind and courteous to us. They couldn't tell us much about the observatory or telescopes inside though. We will have to go back for a longer stay at a better time of the year. We went in March 2024, which coincided with a long period of very cloudy and very wet weather throughout much of the UK. Your best bet is to go in the spring or the autumn.

No complaints whatsoever!

The staff are all lovely, always helpful, friendly and informative. Our rooms were spacious, well equipped, and beds very comfortable. We ate twice in the restaurant for dinner and the food was exceptional. We had specials of lamb chops, lamb shanks and beef cheeks, all very good indeed. Really delicious breakfasts, too. My mother said the sausages were the best she'd ever had!
