Emmetts Grange Country House Bed and Breakfast Exmoor

Welcome to Emmett's Grange. Emmett's Grange provides an oasis of friendly civilisation amidst the stunning wild and rugged Exmoor National Park landscape. The graceful Georgian style house is found at the end of a private half-mile drive and at the centre of its own land which stretches some 900 acres. Wildlife abounds and Exmoor's own red deer are often viewed from the house.

This is a unique and spectacular paradise for anyone who enjoys walking, riding, cycling or simply relaxing amidst beautiful scenery.

The Two Moors Way and the Tarka Trail are both close to the boundary of the estate as is National Park Access land. Guests are welcome to explore the 900 acres of grounds around Emmett's Grange.

Hunting, shooting and fishing can all be arranged easily and stabling and grazing are available for guests' own horses. Tom and Lucy Barlow love cooking - the menu often includes local seafood, Exmoor's own red Devon beef and venison. For eating out, the renowned Poltimore Arms is one of our closest neighbours, a mere two miles away. The Exmoor Forest Hotel, Sportmans Inn and Black Venus are all just 15 minutes away by car and offer excellent and varied alternatives.

Emmett's Grange is a proud member of the Wolsey Lodges Consortium
