Bordering the scenic Exmoor National Park, this 300-acre working sheep farm is surrounded by lush countryside, meadows and valley views, making it the perfect location for a peaceful escape in rural Devon. In the local area there are many farm shops and pretty villages, with three wonderful country pubs within 4 miles.

The first-floor open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is full of character features alongside stunning countryside views, creating a cosy and welcoming space, and is the perfect place for the whole family to enjoy together. Throw a couple of logs on the wood burner in the lounge area for a cosy evening in.

Highly recommended. Location perfect for all surrounding places to visit. Katie was really lovely and nothing too much trouble. Everything about the farm, including the sheep, the dogs and you can see the alpacas too. Ideal for dark skies, we were flabbergasted by the number of stars we could see at night. This would be the perfect place to simply Read morerelax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Hide

Drewstone Arches is located within a beautiful environment with stunning views. Great for relaxing, and near to many wonderful walks. You can walk from the farm, through woodland with a stream to North Molton, enjoying a meal at the Poltimore Pub before returning. Other great walks include a circular route from Heddons Mouth to Woody Bay. The sceneRead morery is spectacular. Rosemoor RHS gardens is well worth a visit, and the lunches are excellent. There are so many places to visit from this location. Hide
