“My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Hunters Lodge.”

We found the accommodation very comfortable and appealing,and with the property being situated in a quiet and peaceful area, enabled us to enjoy a relaxing holiday.The fine weather over the bank holiday period allowed us to please our 14 year old labrador dog with trips out in the car. A cream tea was provided by Mrs Michele Maltby on arrival which went down very well..We enjoyed our stay, and would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends.

“Hunters Lodge was in a beautiful location, very comfortable and well equipped.”

Mike and Michele were friendly, approachable and helpful - providing a lovely welcoming cream tea - and the breakfast box was delicious! It was also lovely to have Jackson - the dog with us on holiday!

“We couldn't have received a better welcome after an 8 hour journey of a lovely cream tea.”

Everything about this holiday was perfect for us ...

“Beautiful property, beautiful location.”

Lovely cream tea provided on arrival and nothing too much trouble. Had a lovely break.
Mrs Jones June 2017

“Extremely comfortable cosy cottage with everything you could possibly want provided.”

The owners were on hand but not intrusive and we were welcomed with a cream tea after a very long journey- much appreciated, thank you! The only tiny thing we could fault was that with such beautiful extensive grounds there was no area allocated to let the dog off lead. Just a small cordoned off area would have been very useful, especially on wet days because we had no option but to travel out - 10 minutes with a ball in a fenced area would have worked a treat. In summary, a very enjoyable break and would definitely recommend.

“Wonderful holiday.”

One of the best properties we have visited. Better than the description! The owners were very helpful. We would certainly return in the future.

“Great Place to go and forget about the World!”

We booked our stay through Sykes website at 2200hrs on the Monday night as a last minute getaway, we arrived there on the Tuesday of the same week. We were met by Michelle who welcomed us with a fresh made cream tea (Amazing), who then told us about the lodge and the surrounding areas. This is a very clean, modern and very well looked after lodge. We will be booking again in the near future and we will be recommending Knapp House to all our friends and family. A great place with all the tiny details taken care of, thank you for a lovely stay and we will see you soon!

“most wonderful holiday - marvellous accomodation”

We had a super holiday in the most beautiful scenery. Accomodation was superb. Lovely tea of homemade scones jam and cream awaited us on arrival. Lovely. Unfortunately the wood had been desermated, so there was no-where to sit. On speaking to the owner he supplied chairs and a new area for us. Most accomodating.Our friends were from australia and were so impressed with the scenery. Marvellous area -

Knapp House Cottages

A group of four wonderful holiday apartments set within two wings of Knapp House, close to the village of East Anstey and just four miles from Dulverton, the gateway to Exmoor. These properties each have their own unique style which reflects the history of the house. Guests are encouraged to enjoy the large mature gardens including the kitchen garden which is slowly being reclaimed. There are plenty of places to relax including a large cedar summer house which enjoys lovely views across the gardens and beyond. Knapp House is a beautiful example of a country house designed in the Arts and Crafts style and built in the early 1900s as a hunting lodge. Knapp House also offers local organic veg and salad boxes, as well as breakfast boxes to order. Once a month there is a pop-up pub in the house, an opportunity for guests to meet the locals and have something to eat and drink. The setting is tranquil and private and is the perfect retreat from which to explore the best of Exmoor, such as long sandy beaches at Woolacombe and Saunton, spectacular moorland scenery, breathtaking walks through the Barle Valley or any number of National Trust properties or historic sites such as Dunster Castle. There’s also numerous excellent pubs and restaurants a short distance away. Exmoor is extremely dog friendly and for the more active there are multiple activities, including riding, shooting, canoeing, wild swimming, surfing and mountain biking.

The town also boasts pretty buildings and medieval winding streets, along with a wealth of award winning restaurants and pubs, quality gift shops and tea rooms. The spectacular North Devon coast is within driving distance with the picturesque villages of Lynton and Lynmouth well worth visiting.

East Anstey is an ideal base to explore the magnificent rolling landscapes of Exmoor and the dramatic North Devon coastline.
