You're likely to find a local crowd in the bar of this agreeable Exmoor coaching inn, where ranks of china mugs dangle from the ceilings and sepia scenes of snowy moorland line the walls. Upstairs the rooms are smoothly comfy – ask for one of the six that overlook Dunkery Beacon, Exmoor's highest point.
It's in the hamlet of Wheddon Cross, 6 miles east of Exford.
