Key Features
Location
Badgers Holt is an ancient Exmoor National Park inn, standing beside the A396 which connects the National Trust village of Dunster on the West Somerset coastline to the Devon town of Tiverton. Badgers Holt sits roughly midway between the two.
This is a prime tourist area with the village being home to Exe Valley Caravan Site and close to famous Exmoor landmarks such as Wimbleball Lake and Tarr Steps Woodland National Nature Reserve on the River Barle.
The A396 at this point runs beside a wooded river valley through which flows the River Exe. The small Exmoor town of Dulverton is close to Badgers Holt and has a population of approximately 1,400 people. Many everyday facilities such as shops, schools and the Exmoor Medical Centre are found in Dulverton.

The Business
The business has been in its present ownership since 2006 and is now casually run in our clients’ build up to retirement. The business tends to concentrate on bar sales, benefitting from the large campsite within the village, local walkers, cyclists and passing trade.
There is considerable scope to develop the business, particularly by extending letting opportunities with not only the holiday cottage but also through the possible conversion of the substantial barn.
