The Otters are back!
We are absolutely thrilled that there is evidence of otters in the trout pond in The Old Rectory Hotel garden. Exmoor National Park Authority monitor otter activity in the area and now believe that otters are now returning to the majority of water courses on Exmoor

OLD RECTORY HOTEL - RANKED 11th best hotel in the UK
Eight hotels in Devon and Cornwall have made it into the top 25 UK hotels voted for by world travellers. The information was gathered by the travel company TripAdvisor for its annual awards.
The top British hotel was Rudding Park near Harrogate, Yorkshire, with travellers praising its “faultless service”.
TripAdvisor said its annual awards were based on the opinions of millions of real travellers.
The other South West hotels in the top 25 were the Trelaske Hotel, Looe, Cornwall (10), the Old Rectory Hotel, Martinhoe, Devon (11), Tremarne Hotel, Mevagissey, Cornwall (15), Yeoldon House Hotel, Bideford, Devon (16), Bowling Green Hotel, Plymouth (20) and Primrose Valley Hotel, St Ives, Cornwall (25).

Hotel to be featured in Vogue Magazine
We were thrilled to have been approached by Vogue Magazine to appear in their forthcoming “Coast to Coast” feature which is all about quality hotels and places to stay on the British Coast.
The Old Rectory Hotel will be the only hotel represented in North Devon & Exmoor in this feature.
Unfortunatley, no modelling contracts were offered - their loss….!
