Simonsbath House, Grade II listed hotel in Simonsbath, United Kingdom.
Simonsbath House features white painted walls, slate roofs, and multiple guest rooms within the valley of River Barle in Exmoor National Park.
Built in the mid-17th century by James Boevey, this establishment remained the solitary residence within the Royal Forest of Exmoor for many years.
The property contains one of England's first squash courts, constructed in 1929, and displays a 16th-century heraldic overmantel with family coats of arms.
The hotel offers ten individually decorated en-suite rooms, four self-catering cottages, and the Barle Valley Restaurant serving English and European dishes.
During World War II, the building functioned as a school before transforming into Diana Lodge Hotel and later reverting to its original name in 1969.
