Great places to stay along the South West Coast Path by Julie Vuong

"You needn’t forgo luxuries on your walk. After traversing the terrain of Exmoor National Park, The Old Rectory – a Georgian rectory turned prestigious country pile – is easily found on the coastal path. Exhausted souls can retreat to one of eight flash bedrooms; indulge in White Company beauty bits in the bathroom or slump under the 200-year-old grape vine in the vinery. Treat your palate to local flavours in the hotel’s restaurant washed down with fine wines from the well-stocked cellar. Ease stiff legs with a gentle stroll around the hotel’s three-acre grounds, taking in the babbling brook and small Victorian maze along the way."
