Heddon’s Gate, Exmoor

Escape to Exmoor

On the steep slopes of the magnificently wooded Heddon Valley, hidden at the end of a quarter-mile private drive and set in more than 2½ acres of its own gardens and woodland, you will discover Heddon’s Gate.  This is a true country house hotel, secluded and tranquil, run by us, its owners, Anne and Eddie Eyles.

Relax at your own country house

Our guests appreciate the relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the comfortable and peaceful surroundings and the superb views of the valley.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome here, and appreciate the hotel as much as their owners do.

Indulge in first-class Devon cuisine

Food and drink are an important part of the Heddon’s Gate day.  All produce is locally sourced wherever possible.  Start the day with a full English breakfast served at your table.  Return later for a delightful cream tea, and round it all off with pre-dinner drinks and an excellent dinner, followed by coffee, locally handmade chocolates and digestifs.  There are good-quality teas and coffees, a full bar and a well-chosen, varied wine list.
