In an Unspoilt Corner of England...

The Lion Hotel was built in 1822 in the heart of Dulverton, which is the headquarters of the Exmoor National Park. The Hotel offers customers a warm and friendly welcome where you can relax and unwind. You will find the service friendly and the hospitality second to none. The Lion has a Lounge Bar providing a relaxing informal area to enjoy some local ales and ciders and a non-smoking dining room. Lunches and Suppers can be served in the Dining Room or the Lounge Bar where we can offer a variety of homemade pies, home cooked hams, pates and local specialities at affordable prices.

Dulverton is the ideal base to explore unspoilt Exmoor and the surrounding countryside. Nestling in a natural bowl in the landscape, it is surrounded by deciduous woodland and small Devonshire fields.

There is a feeling of timelessness here...

Beautiful scenery, heather-clad moors and quiet leafy lanes plus Exmoor's free-roaming herds of Red Deer and Ponies. There are several activities which anyone can pursue: Fishing, Riding, Shooting, Clay Shooting, Walking, Exmoor Safaris, Squash and Golf can all be arranged locally. All of our 14 bedrooms have en-suite, TV, Direct Dial Telephones and Hospitality Tray. Opt for our four-poster bed for that touch of extravagance.

Local attractions within striking distance are:

Cleeve Abbey, West Somerset Steam Railway, Dunster Castle, Combe Sydenham Country Park, Dartington Crystal, Sheppy’s Cider Farm, Wimbleball Lake to name but a few. Although the Lion is in the middle of peace and tranquillity it is only 18 miles from Junction 27 of the M5, the ideal location for a well deserved break.
