We spent a week here with Linda and Brian, who are such amazing hosts. Greeted with a proper cream tea in our rooms provided by Linda. The rooms in the... read more Stables were amazing, so clean and cosy, and everything readily to hand. A really quiet and peaceful place to stay, yet so convenient. There is a bus stop just 5 minutes walk away, and you must take the open top bus along the coast to Lynmouth. An easy walk takes you through Bossington to the beach, and then along to Porlock Weir. Plenty of places to drink and eat in the area. recommend Cross Lane Restaurant, just next door. An ideal place to base yourself for walks, bus rides or even drives, on and around Exmoor. Highly recommended.

  Amazing Accommodation - My husband and I and our 2 dogs stayed for 4 nights in August 2020. Covid restrictions were in place but this did not detract from the beauty of... read more the area and the quality of the accommodation. Linda was a wonderful host. She greeted us on arrival (from a safe distance) and had left a welcome tray for us with homemade cakes and hot drinks. We stayed in the Stable Cottage. It had everything you could need and more. It was quaint but spacious and well equipped. The attic bedroom was warm and comfortable. Each apartment or cottage has its own designated patio table and chairs. There is a lawned doggy area and parking on site. Everything was spotlessly clean and Linda explained the procedures they had in place to ensure that they were cleaned and changed between guests to ensure that they met (or exceeded) all of the covid requirements. I cannot rate Pack Horse highly enough and would not hesitate to stay here again.

  Exmoor National Park for walking, exploring and enjoying. The Pack Horse at Allerford is the place to stay! - The Pack Horse is a truly wonderful holiday destination. Nestled in the heart of Exmoor National Park, there are spectacular walks nearby and further afield. The hosts, Wills and Paul,... read more welcomed me with fresh homemade scones, jam and clotted cream! There are 5 holiday accommodations at the Pack Horse and I stayed in Honeysuckle which has been recently refurbished to a very high standard. It had everything I could have wanted. I slept so well and woke up listening to the river Aller which runs alongside.
I was quite nervous booking a solo holiday, but Wills and Paul went out of their way to assist me with local walking groups that I was able to join in with.
Whether you are booking as a family, a couple, or even solo like me, the Pack Horse and the wonderful hosts will welcome you with open arms.
