Monkscider House

Monkscider House is the perfect headquarters for exploring Exmoor, or a luxury hideaway for city weary desk jockeys. It’s a charming haven for tired walkers, and characterful sidings for steam enthusiasts

Touring Exmoor, or just seeking a comfortable relaxing weekend, Monkscider House offers the perfect solution, with its huge double bedroom with vaulted and timbered ceiling (and similar bathroom), its comfortable twin with separate ensuite dressing and shower room, a long dining room where we serve local foods in a sumptuous breakfast – and a large traditional sitting room with huge log fires for cold winter evenings.

Monkscider House is on the edge of Washford, a perfect starting point for your holiday with lots of local attractions, from Cleve Abbey for history buffs, the steam railway museum and railway line for steam enthusiasts, the Tropiquaria adventure park, Torre Cider Farm, Washford Mill Craft Centre – and Dunster Castle and Mediaeval Village just down the road.
