This secret holiday retreat is found over half a mile up a private farm track in the middle of nowhere with only wildlife and farm animals as neighbours. There are two B and B rooms in the main house and a self catering shepherds hut. The self catering Shepherd's hut, Longview, is situated away from the house in its own paddock and from the top of the Brendon Hills has extensive views across Exmoor to Dartmoor. The hut is more than the normal shepherds hut it is luxurious !; comfortable and cosy with a wood burning stove and underfloor heating, its own shower room with flushable loo. In addition there is a kitchen facility with fridge/freezer, a sink and coffee making facilities. This hut has the benefit of an additional room in an adjacent stable and although basic is cosy and comfortable and provides day accommodation with additional cooking facilities including a 2 ring hob and small combination microwave oven. The space also has an additional table and chairs and a dog bed providing accommodation for them too. The stable provides storage space for bicycles, wet weather gear, muddy boots and a heated clothes rack for drying wet clothes so practical throughout the year,. Outside there is a firepit and a gas barbecue The dark skies of Exmoor National Park at night allow visitors to look at the stars and there is a telescope available for hire with stargazing handbook. There is an annual stargazing festival on Exmoor every September . There are adventures on your doorstep and directly from the house and hut there are wonderful walks on footpaths across farmland with more rugged walks on the High Moor where herds of Exmoor ponies and red deer can be regularly seen. The rivers and streams with otters, dippers and kingfishers are plentiful with friendly pubs in many of the Exmoor villages. The north Somerset and Devon coast line is beautiful. Wimbleball Lake is within walking distance where there is a sailing club and other watersports. In the main house at least 500m away there are two double B and B's with ensuite shower rooms where the hosts Nick and Jane live. These have been recently decorated to a high standard. Coffee making facilities are in each room and breakfast is included in the price. There is a garden room where the guests can comfortably rest in the evenings after their active day with access onto a terrace. There are games, jigsaws, books and a small television available. The hut can be rented individually or with the B and B rooms. Either way the privacy of the hut is not compromised by the B and B accommodation in the main house as they are very distinct areas.Self catering shepherd's hut with kingsize bed, shower room with flushable loo, wood burner, underfloor heating and kitchenette in private location away from main house .

Adjacent to Longview is a stable while although basic provides additional storage for visitors such as their bicycles and within this there is a 2 ring induction hob, a small combination /microwave oven, a heated rail to ensure all wet clothes get dried and space for dogs and muddy boots. Your hosts jane and nick live a further 500 m up the end of the track and are there at hand if required. They would be more than happy to collect you from the end of the track with your luggage and deliver you to the hut. The track is not suitable for low slung cars and while 4 x 4’s can navigate without any trouble, most cars feel uncomfortable tackling the bumps. We think the character of the track adds to the privacy of the location. Dogs are welcome but we ask that these do not go in the hut. Either they can stay in the stable or in the kennels at the main house. Dogs need to be well behaved around livestock. A welcome pack for your first breakfast will be provided but alternatively if you would prefer breakfast can be served at the house. By prior arrangement food hampers can be arranged too. There are a couple of ensuite bedrooms also available at the house; these provide bed and breakfast accommodation and will allow additional guests or parties of guests at Longview
