โรงแรมไลออน เอ็กซ์มัวร์

Firstly, the food was excellent. Breakfast was lovely and the supper we had on one night was superb. However, check in was rather odd - the hotel was closed (at 5pm) so we rang the number on the door. We were greeted with….’We’re not open to the public but I’ll check you in’ - not quite a welcoming experience! We were shown to the room and then there was a comment of ‘there’s sometimes a problem with the hot water up here…but you should be ok’ - what a bizarre thing to say to new guests! The room was dusty and smelled musty. The carpet was badly stained. The canopy over the 4 posted bed was filthy and you can see clumps of dust held in it! The wardrobe was held shut by a chair in front of it and the bathroom door handle didn’t work well. The bed was comfortable though and bedding clean. The hotel spent more time with a closed sign on the door than open. This hotel is more like a B&B. The bar was open for short periods sometimes but the communal areas weren’t welcoming and there was no atmosphere at all. Everything needs an uplift. Overall the stay was functional as this is the only place to stay in Dulverton but it really needs some maintenance and atmosphere. It felt real shame as the building and business has so much potential.

Lovely hotel. Host were extremely welcoming a

Great breakfast , very fresh and owner very obliging

Fine, functional, decent breakfast, polite staff, good value.

Room was small but adequate for one night - unfortunately no hot water and dated system evidently being replaced but meant no shower.

Friendly staff, very quiet hotel in a great location. Breakfast was excellent. Parking is limited outside but there is a car park 2 minutes away. We would stay again.

Staff were really great. I stayed here for business so I needed to do more work in my room, the staff were happy for me to take my dinner up into my room and the rump steak that I had was incredibly good. I was also up and out in the morning too early for breakfast so the staff made me a packed lunch which was really nice of them.

Owner and his son were really helpful. We arrived late and left early, but will come back for a more leisurely stay as it was so welcoming and our room was lovely.

Lovely, cosy hotel. Owners and staff super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was beautifully cooked and catered for vegetarian options. Our room was so comfortable and warm. Situated in a hushed, picturesque village, the hotel provided a fantastic base to explore Exmoor

Bed was very comfortable. Tv on the small side. Shower not very powerful

Clean but dated room. Quiet location and free street parking. Dulverton has some lovely shops and places to eat. Ate in hotel at night on excellent fixed price menu. Breakfast was freshly cooked as well. Hood beers at bar although wine a tad expensive. Family run hotel and a warm welcome and attentive service. Friendly place to stay with a comfy bed.

Lovely and clean and friendly staff. Decor could do with an update and the bed was a bit hit and miss but understandable in these older world properties. Breakfast was very nice too

Overnight stop off on way to Cornwall after a days fishing, ideal.

Decent accommodation in a beautiful village on Exmoor. The bed was comfortable and the full English breakfast very good as well. I had no problem parking just outside on the street. I liked the feeling of staying in a family-run hotel and they were all friendly and helpful. Would return!

Breakfast was excellent both quality and service.

The beds were very comfortable to have an excellent sleep. The breakfast was delicious.

Sadly when I arrived I was dismayed to discover that the bar and restaurant in the hotel were closed for renovation,it might have been better to know this before arriving after a 5 hour train journey. The owners did offer to make me a meal and that was kind but when I mentioned I needed to leave at 7:30 in the morning to get the train home I was informed that breakfast wasn’t served until 8!! I was able to, make a coffee in my room. Perhaps a reduction on the bill might have been appropriate but it wasn’t offered. The bathroom in my room was very basic and the room was far too hot, the windows were streaming with condensation, the bed was comfy and the bed linen was nice but sadly that’s about it.

Friendly enough, pleasant staff. But this place is in desperate need of some renovations and a deep clean (downstairs especially) and new carpets (?) to remove the funky smell, which was not good. But lots of potential!

This is an old building and part of the charm of the village. A lovely breakfast and welcome. The room was spacious and warm. The hotel does need refurbishment and some decoration but it is central and close to the shops and restaurants

Characterful inn, friendly welcome and service, pretty village with good walking.
