Tarr Farm Inn

lovely quality hotel, room first class, everything you need, food lovely , loved the porridge with exmoor honey for breakfast- lots of choice here poached haddock a nice option, as well as the normal full english. dinners excellent, location first class a few yards from tarr steps. Beautiful having a drink before dinner overlooking tarr steps on a warm June evening

I had booked a table at 12.30 for 8 people as I was leading a walking group of friends. We arrived early but the staff were very helpful and accommodating.I ordered Sausage Mash and peas which on delivery the waitress announced 'half portion '. When I questioned this it was plonked in front of me and told that is what you've got. It was dry tasteless and worst than a school dinner. One of our group is a strict vegetarian and ordered accordingly ,including chips. She was uncomfortable with the flavour and questioned the fat used to cook them in. Eventually they admitted that they fried chicken in the same fat and she should have requested "vegetarian " chips.

Always a real treat to eat, drink and stay at Tarr Farm. We've been going there for many, many years and even though we've moved away from Exmoor now, we often return. It's timeless and characterful charm is incredibly welcoming, as are the staff led by Hilary and Stacey. Laughter and warmth abound and the very spectacular surrounds of the River Barle and the iron age Tarr Steps clapper bridge make it all very special. Dinner and breakfast were served to a particularly high standard and the bedrooms are very comfortable, full of character and have wonderful Exmoor views. One of our very favourite places.
