    location is superb, easy access to the coast path and an easy drive to Exmoor. Breakfast was great, excellent quality. As a vegetarian who dislikes meat substitute products I often find problems when eating out, but not at Longmead House. The best...

    Melanie is an exceptional cook- we definitely over ate!! The choice for breakfast was very broad, and our dietary requirements were met without any issue (1x vegetarian, 1x non dairy) Nick was an attentive host, with lots of helpful information...

Longmead House is a beautiful Victorian property, built by the same skilled hands of Bob Jones, who built Lynton Town Hall and the historic Hollerday House. The skill is noticeable in our very charming, wood paneled lounge which to this day houses the original fireplace from Hollerday House. Aside from the relaxing guest space indoors, our large garden also encourages relaxation as you watch the sun set over the Valley of the Rocks.
We take pride in serving the best breakfasts we can so that our guests are set up for their day in Exmoor in the best possible way. We enjoy the variety of walking routes available. The Valley of Rocks offers a unique landscape right at our doorstep.
We are located at the entrance to the Valley of the Rocks which provides a unique landscape and walking experience. Enjoy a sunset gazing over the Bristol Channel in the company of the valley's goats. The two minutes that the Cliff Railway takes to transport you down to Lynmouth is insufficient to appreciate the excellence of it's Victorian engineering. Further afield, the rest of the Exmoor National Park is a truly interesting and ever changing landscape with a fascinating and varied list of activities and attractions available.
