“Kentisbury Grange is a converted manor house, situated in pretty gardens on the edge of Exmouth National Park. Rooms are contemporary in style with crisp white linen, roll-top baths and soft hues. Plus there's an excellent restaurant. The ideal country escape. ”

Hotel review

A tastefully-restored Victorian manor house surrounded by rolling countryside. Rooms are spotlessly clean and decorated with a seamless blend of contemporary and antique furniture; think sash windows, sumptuous king size beds, oversized cushioned bed-heads, roll top baths and underfloor heating. Service is sleek and friendly. The exellent restaurant is the real reason for a visit. The food is locally sourced and dishes innovative. Perfectly located on the doorstep of Exmoor National Park and nearby numerous popular coastal towns. A spoiling stay.

Kentisbury Grange

The restaurant is the draw at this rural Exmoor hotel, offering guests cuisine from double Michelin-starred chef Michael Caines at affordable prices. The hotel itself is friendly and comfortable, but its grounds are spoilt by ugly self-catering units.
