The Rockford Inn
Spears Cross
If you like your floral fabrics, puffy armchairs and china crockery, you'll be throughly happy at this four-room B&B, which is still flying the flag for the old-fashioned style of British B&B.
Chough's Nest
For clifftop position, this Lynton B&B is unbeatable. It goes a bit overboard with the frips and floral fabrics, but if you can get a room with a sea view, you'll be a happy bunny.
Dunster Castle Hotel
Right in the heart of the village, this former coaching inn has been expensively refurbished and now has a good choice of light, uncluttered rooms – the Superior Kingsize are definitely worth the extra outlay, especially rococo-style Grabbist and.
Three Acres
If you don't mind a drive, this sweet farmhouse is lost among the narrow lanes around Dulverton.
Town Mills
The top choice if you want to stay within walking distance of town. It's in a riverside mill, and the rooms are thoroughly contemporary, with creamy carpets, magnolia walls and bits of floral artwork.
St Vincent House
Grade-II listed and built by a compatriot of Nelson, this sea-captain's house has history by the bucketload. All the rooms are named after famous battleships and, though the decor is a touch flouncy, they're very comfortable.
Edgcott House
A 10-minute walk from Exford, this beautiful 17th-century house is set in private riverside gardens (it even has its own orchard).
Northcombe Camping Barn
Two bunk barns about 1 mile from town, both equipped with basic kitchen goods, plus a shower and electricity (£1 per unit). One has a wood-stove, the other an open fire.
Exford Yha
Probably one of Exmoor's best budget bases, this brick Victorian house is just a short walk from Exford – and the pub. The dorms are small and a smidgen institutional, but the hordes of hikers and cyclists aren't too bothered.
Tarr Farm
This is the place to really lose yourself: a charming farmhouse nested among the woods near Tarr Steps, 7 miles from Dulverton. The nine rooms are spacious and luxurious, with nice extras such as organic bath goodies and homemade biscuits.
North Walk House
This smart cliffside house is refreshingly frill-free, with five colour-themed rooms decked out with stripy bedspreads, wood floors, pine furniture and the odd sea view.
Luttrell Arms
In medieval times this glorious old coaching inn was the guesthouse of the Abbots of Cleeve. Huge flagstones, heavy armchairs and faded tapestries dot the lounge – a perfect fit for the hearty bar food.
Old Rectory
Cheap it most certainly isn't, but this swish hotel along the coast in Martinhoe beats seven bells out of Lynton's B&Bs in terms of style.
Castle Hill
This slender Victorian house occupies a prime position in Lynton, literally steps from the shops and clifftops.
