The farm has 14th century origins and the property has been carefully converted into comfortable holiday accommodation from an original stone outbuilding. The Ballroom was once used for hunt balls and retains many original features, including a solid oak floor.
From the cobbled yard, entrance is via a useful downstairs utility with plenty of room for hanging up coats and storing muddy walking boots. The rest of the accommodation is upstairs, situated on the first floor of what used to be the original 17th century threshing barn. There is a wood-burner in the sitting room and French doors open from the dining area onto a private and enclosed terrace with picnic bench. There are two bedrooms which can sleep up to four guests; one double (king-sized bed) and one twin room. The sitting room and bedrooms both have beautiful views down the valley.
Stabling and grazing available so you could bring your horse on holiday to Exmoor with you.
The Ballroom is adjoined to The Shippon, another holiday property, which also sleeps 4 guests.
Dogs
Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement (maximum of 2). A supplementary fee of £15 will be added to your invoice per dog.
