Kestrel Lodge is a beautiful lodge in outstanding grounds and views that you are able to freely roam around. Plenty of bird song and dark skies at night made this location very relaxing. The lodge has everything you need, but the sofa was a bit low for someone with a back problem. The beds were very comfortable. Minor drawback is the outside staircase to the lodge, which ageing visitors could have minor difficulty with. The owners are extremely approachable, helpful and informative about the area. A lodge for all seasons YES! A place to revisit YES! Will I be back? YES. It's on the revisit list.

“We did not occupy Kestrel Lodge .”

We did not occupy Kestrel Lodge . Due to a cancellation we were offered Hunters Lodge ,at the same location but on the ground floor instead. We accepted this gladly as it made access easier. All of the above comments are therefore only relevant to Hunters Lodge. Mike and Michele our hosts were friendly and very helpful. The location was lovely, 10 minutes from Dulverton and not far from the the edge of the moor proper. All 4 of us enjoyed our holiday and would like to return to Hunters Lodge again in the future.

“Quiet and piecefull with lovely surrounding area.”

Extremely kind and helpfull hosts who provide us with a very well appointed flat that was in first class order. We enjoyed the cream tea after a very long journey.The house and flats are set in their own well kept grounds which are being re-vamped after disease in the trees. Excellent amenities nearby in Dulverton and the surrounding Exmoor.As over 70's the stairs were a challenge especially when wet.

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.

About the location

EAST ANSTEY

Dulverton 4 miles; Tiverton 13 miles.

The village of East Anstey lies in the heart of beautiful unspoilt countryside, four miles from the picturesque market town of Dulverton. Known as the gateway to Exmoor, Dulverton offers the River Barle, which flows under a Grade I listed, 3000 year old stone clapper bridge. 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. Spend a day at the wonderful sandy beaches of Croyde Bay, Woolacombe and Saunton Sands, all of which provide fabulous opportunities for surfing. East Anstey is an ideal base to explore the magnificent rolling landscapes of Exmoor and the dramatic North Devon coastline.
