Rockford Inn within Exmoor area: This is our third trip back to the Inn because it's a real treasure for us and a real pleasure every single time we visit (as we have said before in past postings, we only return to worthwhile destinations). As seasoned world travelers for over 40 years, this Inn is one of our favorite places... More

Our fourth time at the Rockford at it never disappoints! I may have said in previous reviews that I don't often return to places, preferring to gain new experiences, life's to short, and all that...! The Rockford Inn is the exception. Catherine and Sarah are wonderful hosts who can't do enough to make sure you have a pleasant stay. The... More

We stayed at the Rockford Inn in late March 2013. The location is great, hidden away on the moors, with some stunning walks nearby. Our room was lovely - clean, comfortable and modern. The food and the atmopshere of the pub was great. Catherine and Sarah, who run the palce are great hosts.

We stayed at the Rockford for two nights in February 2013. Tucked away in stunning countryside and adjacent to the most picturesque river scenery, it proved to be a cosy and comfortable retreat. We were lucky to enjoy wonderful weather, cold but bright, and the inticing log fire along with good food made the pub a welcome place to relax... More

To get a good idea of the pub before you book, visit the website at http://www.therockfordinn.co.uk/. Everything you see on the website is 100% accurate. I stayed in the small single room 3 which, as described is small but due to careful design there is plenty of storage space. The riverside location of the pub is superb and there are... More

Third visit - just as fabulous as the first time. I can not fault this place. If you want to get away from the stress of work and pause your hectic life for a moment then the Rockford Inn is the answer. Room 2 was lovely, very spacious with a fab bathroom, having been revamped recently. We'll be returning again... More
