The farm has two large areas of moorland, designated as SSSIs (Sites of Special Scientific Interest), extensive semi-ancient woodland, and modern tree plantations. It even has its own beach (but it's rocky and not suitable for swimming) with cliffs designated as a geological site of Special Scientific Interest due to lovely exposures of Devonian rocks (350m years old) with interesting folded strata.

The farm also has it's our own Roman archaeology, the "Old Burrow" c 50 AD was built in the reign of Claudius. The earth works of an army encampment are clearly visible.

There nearest sandy beach is at Lee Abbey, a 15 drive minute drive away, and is lovely. The big surfing beaches at Saunton, Croyde and Woolacombe are about 45-60 minutes away by car.

Lynton is the nearest town (10 minute drive West) and Porlock and Minehead (10 and 20 minutes respectively to the East) have plenty of shops, restaurants, pubs, cafes and other amenities.

There are many walking routes on the farm and close by. Please feel free to explore wherever you want, but please leave gates either open or closed, whichever they were when you came to them.

It is a very picturesque area, but quite hilly. The property is very clean and has lovely comfortable beds and pillows. A nice enclosed garden, especially if you have dogs. There is no phone/text reception around the property. You have to go up to the top to the main road to get any.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
Exmoor is one of the least visited National Parks so has a low tourist footprint! It straddles coastal North Devon and West Somerset. Nonetheless, it is packed with amazing beaches and amenities.

The nearest amenities are found in Lynmouth and Lynton. Lynton has a variety of amenities . There are a range cafes, restaurants and pubs to choose from, there are two mini-supermarkets, a bank, post office, chemist and an excellent Tourist Information Centre. There is also a small cinema, and tennis and bowls facilities. The twin village of Lynmouth sits on the harbour below at the bottom of the hill, and also has a good choice of shops, pubs and restaurants. Lynmouth can be accessed via road, footpath or the famous funicular railway.

Lynton and Lynmouth are very special places to visit, the spectacular coastline and deeply cut river valleys in this unique area provide wonderful opportunities for walking; the South West Coast Path and the Two Moors Way are two examples. The famous Watersmeet is not far away, a beautiful National Trust tea garden and shop situated at the meeting of the East Lyn River and Hoar Oak Water. If this isn't enough, sandy beaches can be found within a delightful scenic drive.

The village of Porlock has three pubs, two grocery shops, a traditional local butcher, Post Office, chemist, cash machine, hardware shop, visitor centre and a range of independent restaurants, shops and tea rooms.

The larger towns of Minehead, Ilfracombe and Barnstaple are all approximately 20 miles away, here you will find the larger supermarkets, high street banks, etc.
