The Dunkery Beacon is a former hunting lodge, recently refurbished and with stunning views over Exmoor. Red deer and other wildlife can often be seen and heard from the house!
Nestling in south facing hills within the pretty village of Wootton Courtenay, The Dunkery Beacon provides the perfect rural retreat to relax and unwind whilst enjoying the beauty of Exmoor.
Wonderful opportunities for riders, cyclists and walkers from the door. Drying, stabling and storage facilities available.
The lovely country house atmosphere at the Dunkery Beacon provides a special location for group bookings. Whether you are planning a family get together, a gathering of friends to relax and unwind or a shooting, riding and walking group, we can create a tailor made package that is just right for you. Picnic baskets full of homemade pies, pastries and cakes through to a tea in the gardens with scones and Somerset cream followed by drinks in the bar and a delicious leisurely evening meal.
