The three-and-a-half pearl Hartnoll Hotel is housed in a restored country house in North Devon, set in a pleasant garden overlooking pretty countryside on one side and a busy road on the other. The 18 well-presented rooms include flat-screen TVs, tea- and coffee-making facilities, Egyptian cotton linens, free Wi-Fi, and rainfall showers, though those in the annex tend to be smaller. The restaurant shines with excellent locally sourced menus, and guests can take their meals on the bright terrace. There's little in the immediate area, but the Hartnoll makes a good stopover for those looking to explore the West Country, Somerset, Devon, and Exmoor. It's particularly popular with shooting parties.
