INCLUSIVITY IS AT THE HEART OF WHAT WE DO
We’re dedicated to helping everyone access our spaces, and enjoy all of the benefits that Exmoor has to offer.
Our priority is to ensure that all of our guests feel equally welcomed, respected, and valued.
We have used the highest quality products to create a luxurious space where you can spend time with the people who mean the most to you.
The lodges have been designed utilising Doc M principles.
We’re proud to have been awarded M3 Gold Star status for guests with mobility needs and independent wheelchair users.
We recognise that no two people are the same, and may have entirely differing attitudes towards their independence. So we make no assumptions about the type of accessible products our visitors may require.
