A secluded 17th-century pub, The Rockford Inn is located at the bottom of a wooded gorge within the heart of Exmoor National Park overlooking the East Lyn River. It offers free Wi-Fi, free parking and home-cooked meals. The Rockford’s cozy rooms offer private bathrooms. The elegant rooms also include comfortable beds and tea and coffee-making facilities and a TV. Guests can enjoy traditional English home-cooked food in the characterful dining area, with an open log fire and exposed wooden beams. The meals are made from seasonal local produce, and the bar serves real ales poured direct from the cask. Just outside the village of Brendon, surrounded by stunning Exmoor scenery, the inn is sandwiched between the moors and the cliffs of the North Devon coast. With fantastic views of the sea at nearby Countisbury. The twin towns of Lynton and Lynmouth are just 4 miles away.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.

    This place is in the middle of nature on a small road and we couldn't ask for more. The room was the perfect size, the bed an shower were great. The best part, however, was the people and the food. The pub was very active every night. The taps...
