Pub / Inn · North Molton
The Poltimore Inn
A southern gateway inn for Exmoor with food, rooms and dark-sky appeal.
The Poltimore Inn
About
The Poltimore Inn works well for the curated 3moors model because it has its own identity, clear Exmoor positioning and a slightly different feel from the classic central-village inns. North Molton gives it gateway value, especially for visitors approaching from Devon and wanting easier logistics.
Why stay here
A strong choice for southern-edge Exmoor access, pub-based comfort and a less obvious but genuinely useful moor base.
Facilities & features
Good to know
For walkers
Good as a gateway base rather than a deep Exmoor stop; best for people planning day walks across different parts of the national park.
Dogs
Confirm direct.
Food
Food is clearly part of the offer and helps the inn work well as a practical short-break base.
Parking
Official site notes parking nearby in the village.
Getting here
Easy to reach from the North Devon link road, which is part of the appeal.
Across the seasons
Good all year, with dark-sky positioning making cooler months especially attractive.
