The first of three B&Bs we stayed in recently. Higher Riscombe is everything I could have hoped for and moor. The room and bathroom were spectacular. Breakfast was simply amazing I will definately be returning as soon as possible. The standards here put many 5 star hotels to shame. More

Stayed in this B&B for two nights while exploring a little of Exmoor. The room was fantastic with massive comfortable bed, robes, super soft towels and all very clean and modern. The ensuit bathroom was also very impressive with large Jacuzzi bath along with a walk in shower. Breakfasts where very nice with fresh fruit available along with well cooked... More

We spent 5 very comfortable days here. The hosts are friendly and considerate and are very eager to ensure guests are happy. The farmhouse benefits from a number of small touches; a fridge, irresistible organic bathroom products, quality and variety of breakfasts, access to local literature including maps and an unbelievably comfortable bed. Being in the heart of Exmoor the... More

We enjoyed 2 nights at this bed and breakfast accommodation. Our room was booked on the internet and we opted for the cheaper room (about £70 per night). The room itself was clean and comfortable but we would suggest one or two extra facilities such as a wall mirror (there wasn't one in the room) , arm-chairs to relax in... More

I booked a stay at Higher Riscombe after looking for a luxury B&B roughly on the way from Cornwall to Bristol and was really impressed with the look of the place and the way it was advertised on its excellent website. We are both relatively young and like modern, contemporary decor and this looked exactly that! We booked the Beacon... More

Stayed for just 1 night, shame it couldn't have been longer! Room was lovely, very high spec, best towels we've ever had in a B&B and we've stayed in quite a few! Lovely breakfast (inc fresh strawberries!) and beautiful setting. Would highly recommend this one. Rachel said that they had only been running it as a B&B since last July,... More

Rachel and Dan provide a great welcome. The rooms are finished to a high spec. Our Redstone room had an enormous bed with mattress toppers and good quality bedsheets. However being one of the first guests, it seemed it wasn't quite ready yet. The TV was boxed in the wardrobe and no DVD player. The huge bathroom was stunning though,... More

My partner and I went to Higher Riscombe Farm B&B on a Sunday evening and I lost all simple ability to read maps and we turned up about 2 hours later than planned. Inspite of this, Rachel and Dan (The B&B owners) had endless patience to direct us from our roundabout journey to the hotel (5 phone calls later:-)). The... More

Found Higher Riscombe just after it had "officially" opened via a internet search. The website descriptions sold it to us (photos went on after we had booked) and the gamble of booking a place with out knowing what the rooms looked like was well worth it and lived up to the descriptions. Rachel and Dan are excellent hosts. Nothing was... More

This place is exactly as it describes itself - luxury B&B. Rachel and Dan were terrific hosts, and the house was lovely; better than a hotel experience by far, very clean, superb fixtures and fittings, great food. We have two children (4 & 7) and they loved it - including Tetley the dog who would have come home with us... More
