Nestling in the foothills of the stunning Exmoor National Park on a working farm, The Farm House (UKC1339) and Bridge House (UKC1340) are two thoughtfully converted, semi-detached houses offering guests comfortable accommodation in this wonderful part of Devon. Combe View (ref UKC3157) is a stunning first floor apartment style accommodation. Thoughtfully converted and using timber from the surrounding forest, this really is somewhere a little bit special. The huge picture window sitting just behind the contemporary multi-fuel burner is a small offering of what is available to guests in this very comfortable accommodation set in this stunning part of Devon. All properties offer guests a good level of comfort and are ideal for families or small groups wanting to enjoy the surrounding area, and a welcome pack is waiting for you on arrival with a home-made cake, bread, butter, tea, coffee, sugar and milk.
Centred on a cobbled courtyard with a pond, the properties benefit from the use of their own private sitting-out area as well as a very large, well-maintained garden with stunning views across the countryside. There are some great walks from the farm up onto Exmoor which is designated as an International Dark Sky Reserve, and there are a number of walks on the estate that take you down through woods and along valleys by rivers and past lakes. The walks are mainly off road and a wide variety of wildlife can be seen, from the wild red deer that Exmoor is famous for, to the tiny but vibrant kingfisher. On the estate there are 2 spring fed lakes; these have a population of wild brown trout. Fishing on the lakes is available in the fishing season. Access is by foot or by 4x4 vehicle as they are both located along farm tracks unsuitable for cars. Please ask for directions to the lakes.
The village of North Molton, a short drive away, has a good local pub. The larger town of South Molton has a wider range of shops and local amenities.
During your stay, there is plenty to see and do. Highlights on the moor include the pretty village of Withypool, and the the famous and ancient Tarr Steps. Climb to Exmoor’s highest point at Dunkery Beacon, and then pop into the Dulverton for an afternoon cream tea. There is extensive walking to suit all abilities across the moor, and towards the coastline there are dramatic, steep cliffs at Countisbury. In the Victorian towns of Lynton and Lynmouth, there is plenty to see and do, and the two towns are connected by the famous funicular cliff railway. Other local highlights include the Valley of the Rocks, and there is also access to the South West Coast Path. For good beaches, head up to Woolacombe, Putborough, Croyde and Saunton. You will be able to enjoy some of the best beaches in the country with surfing and rock pooling. For those with young children, Exmoor Zoo, Combe Martin Wildlife Park and Watermouth Castle all provide an interesting and entertaining day out. There are National Trust properties at Arlington and Knighthayes. Golf, fishing, cycling and safaris across the moor are all available locally. Beach 15 miles. Shop and restaurant 4¼ miles, pub 2 miles.

A really beautiful home. It was perfect for us and the table tennis was a really big hit for my two young boys who played for hours. The farm is up some small roads which makes it remote enough for lots of quiet but it is close to lots of wonderful parts of Devon and we had a great week. When we arrived it was great to have a few of essentials available to us, especially as we arrived quite late. Thanks for a lovely stay.

We visited over Christmas with family.
We visited over Christmas with family. The house was decorated beautifully as was the outside courtyard and was a lovely sight upon arriving. Everything we needed was here to have a home from home Christmas. Plenty of fridge and freezer space, pots and pans etc. A great cake, bread, milk, tea and coffee provided along with a few dishwasher tablets and washing machine gels. Spacious and comfortable with the added extra of a table tennis table in the garage (recommend bringing your own bats and balls). This was also an ideal space to keep drinks cold as no heating. When running about playing we soon kept warm and loved it. Beautiful grounds to explore and not far to beaches and walks on Exmoor. It is quite remote with country lanes leading to the property so something to bear in mind if you don't like driving on roads without white lines in the middle. There is a large Sainsburys about 6 miles away if you don't want to bring everything with you.
