Stella and Paul were the perfect, attentive hosts in this 17th Century Inn situated in the Brendon Valley. The room was clean, comfortable and overlooked the babbling river. Breakfast was fantastic and freshly cooked to order. There are lots of walks around the Inn so no need to use the car unless you need to. Would highly recommend.

Good quiet pub. Good beer and food.
Remote pub in very small hamlet. Excellent for walking. Beer good. Food ok. Parking very limited eneough space for 4 cars in bays opposite pub. Check in is only between hours midday to 3pm then 6pm to 8pm only not the hours mentioned on website. You are assured a warm welcome by Lee and the team followed by Willow the friendly pub dog at breakfast (black labrador). Beer is sold from small casks so most nights a different beer is on usually at least 2 different beers available plus bottled if so wish. Food is served lunchtime and evening. Pub can be described as quirky and it makes for the atmosphere. If the area again would stay again. Recommend

Perfect.
The setting is idyllic, the food was plentiful and tasty, the room was warm, cosy and clean, Lee and the team were perfect hosts, the locals even made us feel welcome. What a wonderful place. For those who are looking for a base for a walking break this is the place. I only booked for one night, which was such a shame. Myself and Lynne will return very soon. This was a most pleasurable experience.

A March getaway
A very relaxing stay. Lee & his staff very helpful& always pleasant. The locals, who came into the bar, were cheerful, engaged us in their conversation and there was much laughter. Rockford Inn has loads of character and in a lovely setting. If you want a break away from it all, it is a place I can recommend.

Exmoor Stay
Hotel was in a lovely location, friendly staff and clean and tidy room. Evening meal was nice but disappointed at the lack of choice availble given the information on the website. Breakfast was very poor. Little choice and eggs and mushrooms were over cooked. Neevertheles, we would rate our stay overall as good.

Lovely inn tucked away by the river Lyn. Great walks from here, and you're very close to Lynmouth and Exmoor. Good breakfast and I enjoyed my evening meal.

The perfect getaway
The Rockford Inn may be out of the way, but its a little gem, a bit quirky as its old fashioned, if you want modem forget it. The food was excellent and the drinks speak for themselves well worth a visit, The river running in-front of the Inn although noisy cannot be heard inside the inn so sleeping is not a problem. The only issue I had was the wifi was not great but that could be my machine as it worked great in the pub but the room was slow

Good stay
Clean, tidy, and in beautiful surroundings. Food was good too. Maybe a bit quiet for me during the evening but if you want peace and quiet, ideal.

Hotel is in a small hamlet and not in Lynton as advertised. That didn’t bother me as the setting is beautiful but may be a problem for people wanting amenities on their doorstep. I had a single room which was very small. Service and food was very good. Hotel had a lot of character and would suit ramblers as near lots of good walks.

We booked a lovely looking room in a quiet location for a restful weekend away. Not the room pictured on Expedia, or booked. After getting held up in traffic for 3hrs on the M5, we finally arrived at 2030 on Friday evening, pleasantly greeted but told food finished serving for the evening. However the pizza oven was still hot so could do a fresh pizza, which was very nice. Breakfast was between 0800 & 0900, not much chance of a lie-in, so we opted to skip breakfast. Having been disturbed by the cleaning staff trying to come in, we finally got up and went out for a lovely relaxing day out. Sunday morning we got to the dining room around 0845, nice enough breakfast, then went back up to pack. At 1015am, there's an urgent knock at our door, when we opened it we were confronted with " Come on guys, check out is 1000, and I've got things to do so can you hurry up" in a very rude and abrupt tone. Totally taken aback, we were packed and ready to leave anyway, so went to settle our bill. When we were in the car park, we noticed the owners 'things to do', walk the dog!! I have to say we have stayed in many places over the years, but have never been spoken to or treated like that ever before, it was down right rude. It appears that the majority of guests who stay there are walkers, up early, out all day and retire to bed early. Well we went to stay there to chill out, so sorry we didn't fit the general clientele. Check out time stated on Expedia is 1030am

Gorgeous location in remote valley
Really good place to stay - good for walks and food. Dog friendly which is lovely. Rooms are comfortable and lovely to stay in and Catherine and Sarah could not be more helpful. The breakfasts are excellent and it is worth booking dinner - food is extremely good. I have stayed here many times.
