It is a...

I have stayed in many B&Bs over the last few years spending time walking various parts of the country. This stay is up amongst my top 3. Walm welcome, comfortable surroundings, superb food. Could not believe Jane and John had only been in the B&B business for such a short time. Their enthusiasm and hard work will surely be rewarded....

Thank you so much for writing a lovely review - we really enjoyed having you to stay and I have to say the three of you were very good fun! Very pleased that you chose to dine with us twice during your stay and that you thought John's food was excellent. We hope to see you again soon.
Kind regards,...

Stayed at Dunkery Beacon for 3 nights at end of March. Chose it because of the excellent reviews so was a bit surprised to find out it had new owners. However, no need to be concerned! You'd have never known that John and Jane had only recently taken over, from the home made scones on arrival to the excellent breakfasts...

Many thanks for your kind comments and apologies for not replying sooner - we didn't receive notification of your review from Tripadvisor until a day ago. So glad you both enjoyed your stay here and the breakfasts John rustled up every morning. We are hoping to introduce evening meals four nights a week once we are granted our alcohol licence,...

We have just had our fourth annual visit to The Dunkery Beacon Country House Hotel which is now under the ownership of John and Jane Bradley. This is a new venture for them and they could not have made us feel more welcome. The rooms are warm and comfortable and we had delicious and generous breakfasts before walking out onto...

Thank you very much for your kind comments - John and I are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and were able to do a good walk whilst you were here. There are so many different paths and byways here that you really are spoilt for choice - Exmoor is so accessible, which is wonderful for those of us...

We needed a base for visiting a friend who lives in nearby Minehead and chose this hotel from reviews on TA. It was perfect and we had a really lovely stay last year with the previous, very friendly, owners. So we re-booked for this year and when we got a phone call from the new owners we were a little...

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review and we're so pleased that your second visit here didn't disappoint despite understandable apprehensions to begin with. You'll be pleased to know that we have now fixed a permanent double towel rail to the wall above the radiator and an additional towel hoop near the shower door. Small...

Have just returned from my wife's birthday weekend at The Dunkery Beacon. The first thing to say is that the new owners Jane and John could not be more welcoming and helpful. Taking over a B&B must be a daunting task but they seem to be taking it all in their stride and have some fabulous ideas for the future,...

Very kind of you to take the time to post such a lovely review Tom. We are delighted you both had such an enjoyable time and managed to do quite a bit of walking and sightseeing whilst here. There really is so much to see and explore, as we're discovering too! Do come back for a second visit if you...

We booked Dunkery Beacon months ago when we were looking for a special place to go for my 30th birthday weekend. We saw the great reviews on here and thought it'd be perfect for a bit of walking and relaxing. So we did feel a little uncertain when we found out it had new owners, as that can make a...

A group of 11 of us stayed with John and Jane on their first weekend since taking over the Dunkery Beacon. Our room was wonderful with fabulous panoramic views of Dunkery Beacon, and the food and service we received was excellent. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and I am sure that John and Jane will make a great success...

I had a fabulous weekend away with friends at this hotel. John and Jane were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean and perfect for what we wanted. I especially want to mention how easily they coped with my requirement for a gluten free diet. They knew exactly what was involved and made sure I was looked after...
