Places to stay in Somerset

South West Coast

Wander around quaint villages and elegant country houses. See a classic cathedral and captivating caves. Discover mysterious moorland and tales of myth and legend. Choose quiet coastal harbours or fun-filled family resorts. Enjoy cheese and cider, good food and wine.

Exmoor may be one of England’s smallest national parks, but it packs a lot in. Follow footpaths and bridleways through high, wild moorland, steeply wooded combes, ancient oak forests and rolling farmland. Take your mountain bike and speed down cycle paths that radiate from Dunkery Beason, Exmoor’s highest point, or take life at a slower pace on horseback.
