We passed through Tarr Steps about 18 months ago and grabbed a brochure at the time for the hotel. Our stay was 5/5 lovely place, really nice staff and the food was fantastic we tried a variety the 42 day dry aged steak and the fish both for dinner and breakfast. Highly recommend the burger as well. Probably the best review is to say we will definitely go back!!

Being right next to Tarr steps and the water you’d expect your dog to get wet , and they were prepared with lots of dog towels and biscuits . Separate dining for doggy friends . You can only leave them in the room whilst you do fine dining if you remember to bring a crate . We’d of liked the breakfast options to of been in dig area too as walking through bar and up several steps meant it was a little uncomfortable for some . The breakfast wax Definitely the highlight , omg ! Supper was expensive but superb . My only down point was bathroom could do with a lick of paint around side panel but it’s neatly end of dragon and might be in the to do list ! Loved it !

Only stayed one night, which is way too short a stay so will have to return to do it full justice. Room was warm and comfortable. Dinner was outstanding. Staff welcoming and attentive. Fantastic walking nearby. Pity winter storms had damaged the Tarr Steps but a short walk up the Barle valley was exhilarating even on a wet Monday morning. Perfect way to walk off a hearty Tarr Farm Inn breakfast.

The setting of the hotel is beautiful and the rooms were well appointed. The food was excellent both breakfast and dinner. Important that you use the correct post code in your sat Nav (not necessarily the one found online) as we used the wrong one and ended up on the wrong side of the river meaning a very lengthy detour (along narrow country roads) to access the hotel.

Nice but….
Food was good - both breakfast and bar meals. Where things could have improved was at check out - e.g. thanking us for our stay, asking if we’d stay again. Other guests seemed to be asked these things so inconsistent.

A perfect getaway relaxing away from life’s speedway traffic and from the little ones for a night. Perfect location if peace and tranquility is what you wish for . Lovely service and a special thank you to the young lady who worked with grace and politeness throughout our stay.

An Inn Experience that would be difficult to equal
This was an exceptional stay. Everything is done very well indeed with superb attention to detail. The room was very well appointed and the first that I have stayed in to include a gun safe, not that I needed it. There was also a DVD player and a very good selection of hot drinks plus a 'fridge with still and sparkling mineral water. Service was at all times very attentive to the point of being anticipative. The breakfast choice was really good and everything that I had was cooked brilliantly, with nice use of local products. Evening meals were a real joy with. Good examples were the carrot and coriander soup and the roasted tomato soup which the chef made in a quite exceptional way. Also the sorbets but all of the dishes were excellent.

Wonderful old Inn with fantastic local food
I stay in many hotels - and this was one of my favourite! A very old, quirky inn - rustic but beautifully finished. The best thing for me was the ingredients / food... every element was exceptional - the best, (where possible local) honey, coffee, steak, salmon, bread, the most perfectly cooked scrambled eggs. And all served with a smile. It is not the "poshest" place ever - more of a simple Inn but beautifully done - it is the most charming and I will travel back to be here again.

OK
Weekend away with my wife. Wanted to be in the middle of Exmoor and the location certainly met that requirement. Spotlessly clean, but more than a little dated. If you like very soft beds then great. We don't. The owner/ manager (?) did not make us feel entirely welcome. We did enjoy our stay, but would not return.

Great position for a place to stay
The staff are without doubt the best we have ever encountered , everyone was very helpful and when asked a question they were able to answer without having to go and find out .( A credit to them and the owners of Tarr Farm Inn ) . The food is excellent offering a good variety of freshley cooked locally sourced ingredients , their own Bitter is a pint worth trying . This was our first visit to Tarr Farm Inn and it will certainly not be our last .

Series of unpleasant things made us cut our stay short..manure smell strong,on arrival, noisy bathroom fan, noisy equipment outside our room, food just ok. It was also far from anything but.if you are just interested in a basic place and hiking, this might be for you.

Amazing location
Quaint inn right beside the Tarr steps with lovely walks right on the doorstep. Dog friendly. Good food with the option of eating in the bar rather than the restaurant so our furry friend could join us at all meals. Rooms are practical, if a little dated, but very clean with comfy bedding. No phone reception but wifi in rooms (though quite slow)
