A hidden gem

Spoilt for comfortable roomy rooms and they're all fitted out with interesting items (I think Andy's been watching Salvage Hunters 🤣). We sat outside in the evening to watch incredible sunsets over the sea. Also, it's all Exmoor National park, so walking is a must. Only gripe was the oven wasn't getting up to heat very well. We would definitely go again.

Fabulous

Property was amazing- clean, very well equipped, decorated beautifully and plenty of space for the extended family. The views were stunning and the outdoor space was wonderful, keeping the children entertained exploring the grounds and in the games barn. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Would whole heartedly recommend and hope to return.

About the host

Hosted by Andy Baguley

Why they chose this property

Tucked away at the end of its own lane Girt Farm makes for a tranquil and secluded retreat. Deer are occasional visitors to our fields and pass through the creek at the bottom of the property where you can walk and relax in a glade or next to the ponds with fish, frogs and newts. A little bridge below and to the right of the ponds connects to the main field and offers a small stroll back up to the farmhouse.
