We have just returned from a stay at the Spears Cross as part of a wedding party and had the room booked on our behalf.

Went out for the evening, came back and light had been turned on, my bed... more

Spears Cross was the successful result of an internet search for a base on Exmoor to spend a few days as part of my wife's birthday treats. A most genuine warm welcome from Cliff anhd Tricia, for whom nothing is too much trouble, is that most important first impression of Spears Cross. A 15th century gem tucked away in the... more
