Poltimore Inn

About

The Poltimore Inn sits proudly on East Street in the historic village of North Molton, overlooking the verdant slopes of Exmoor. From the moment you step outside, the classic Devon architecture and welcoming glow of the pub’s open bays invite you to relax in a cosy, story‑book setting. The establishment is a grade‑II listed pub‑restaurant that combines traditional charm with contemporary hospitality, offering a menu built around hand‑picked local ingredients and a fine selection of real ales, craft beers and regional wines. Food lovers will delight in the daily full‑English breakfasts, locally sourced fish, grilled meats and inventive seasonal dishes, while the kitchen’s dedicated smoker crafts striking cuts such as brisket and pork shoulder with a unique smoked‑tomato barbecue sauce. The pub also hosts a range of live entertainment—including Irish, folk and jazz nights—alongside a vibrant beer garden that’s the perfect spot for families and groups of friends. For guests looking to stay overnight, the Poltimore Lodges provide stylish glamping pods and traditional bed‑and‑breakfast rooms. Each lodge features two rooms, fully en‑suite, with central heating, free Wi‑Fi, a flat‑screen TV, and a full English breakfast included. The lodges are secure, bike‑friendly—with lock‑down facilities on every unit—and cater to motorbike, cycling and walking groups. The inn also offers a separate B&B, with larger rooms suitable for families or business travellers, and a “Family Apartment” that accommodates up to six guests. Beyond food and accommodation, visitors can experience the Poltimore Inn’s own observatory, which hosts regular stargazing evenings as part of the Exmoor Dark‑Skies Reserve. The pub has also earned a Taste‑of‑the‑West Gold Award and the AA Hotel Hospitality award for 2023, reflecting its commitment to exceptional service and quality.
