- The Rockford Inn
-
- The Rockford Inn sits beside the
East Lyn River as it flows through the beautiful and peaceful
Brendon Valley in Exmoor National Park.
-
- The rural public house dates
back to the 17th century and provides a cosy and convivial atmosphere
in which to relax.
-
- Its a traditional North Devon
country pub popular with local farmers, ramblers and fishermen
alike and set in an isolated and remote hamlet.
-
- We offer excellent home cooked
seasonal foods, local brewed real ales and comfortable accommodation
in which to stay, where we offer full and half board
|
 |
 |
- You can sit by the river, enjoy
a pint as you watch herons stalk salmon and trout, as well as
the odd unfortunate frog. The sound of rushing water over the
rocky rapids provides a tranquility to behold.
- After we have locked up and the
guests retired to bed the only sounds you will hear are the peaceful,
tinkling waterfalls and the hooting of owls in the woods.
-
- The bed and breakfast pub is ideally
situated in stunning countryside where you can take part in many
outdoor activities.
-
- For equestrians there are stables
nearby where you can arrange pony trekking and horse riding trips
over the moor.
-
- The East Lyn River, famed for
its salmon and trout fishing, provides a stunning backdrop for
anglers with its dramatic gorges, waterfalls, rapids and pools.
|
- For walkers there is The Samaritans
Way Footpath which connects Bristol and Lynmouth.
- The path runs along the length
of the valley by the river, where you may catch glimpse of deer,
kingfisher and otter.
-
- The National Trust's "Watersmeet
House" (now a tearoom) is just 1 mile downstream from the
pub, and makes for a lovely half-day stroll.
-
- We are situated in the middle
of the moor but near to Lynton, Malsmead, Dunster, Dulverton,
Simonsbath & Exford.
- We are also close to the seaside
towns of Ilfracombe, Wollacombe, Minehead, Porlock and Lynmouth
with their restaurants, shops and tea-rooms.
-
- Its an interesting drive around
the narrow, twisty lanes, up and down the often steep hills whilst
dodging the sheep strayed from the moor.
|
 |
 |
- The A39 skirts the coast for some
20 miles or so, and sandwiches you between two landcapes.
- On one side are picturesque views
across the cliffs and The Bristol Channel to South Wales, whilst
the other presents a foreboding, bleak and windswept Exmoor.
-
- Whether you are coming to stay
with us for a b&b holiday, weekend break, short break or
booked into the restaurant for lunch, evening meal or simply
stopping for a pint we will welcome you with open arms.
