The Best of Exmoor began in 2005 when Chris Lister, who grew up in the picturesque Porlock Weir, transformed old stables into holiday cottages for his mother. His passion for travel and love for Exmoor’s charm inspired him to create a platform that helps others showcase their properties. Over the years, Chris has combined his local knowledge with a desire to share the beauty of Exmoor, turning his vision into a trusted, community-focused business.
We’ve grown from these humble beginnings to become a trusted local alternative to big platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com. But at heart, we’re still the same: a small, friendly team that knows Exmoor like the back of our hand and cares deeply about creating memorable experiences for our guests.
At The Best of Exmoor, it’s not just about finding you a place to stay; it’s about sharing the magic of Exmoor and ensuring your holiday is everything you dreamed it would be. Whether it’s a local tip about the best scenic walks or helping you find the perfect dog-friendly cottage, we’re here to make your escape truly special.
