For some, just the breathtakingly beautiful views of the Welsh, North Devon and Exmoor coastlines will be enough to visit the North Walk House while the lush and verdant surroundings which offers walkers endless opportunities to explore the countryside are also a good enough reason. Equally tempting is the actual stay there, with its lovely rooms, relaxing atmosphere with log fires, stunning terrace and of course, the delicious food at The Dinner Table.

Locally sourced is the mantra there and you can sample the goodness in the sumptuous spread they have for breakfast. Dinner options could start with tomato basil and fresh mozzarella salad followed by breast of free range chicken marinated in lemon, garlic, ginger and white wine with tarragon. The seasonal homemade fresh fruit crumbles with ice cream or crème fraiche are most agreeable and the selection of fine wines and beers complement the meal with ease.
