No-one can get bored at the Farmhouse.

Watch the birds in the front garden under the magnificent Wisteria, or enjoy a family picnic in the grounds which have lovely views of Exmoor.

The Farmhouse is in the quiet and peaceful village of Challacombe and within the Exmoor National Park. Within 300 yards is an excellent pub with award-winning food and real ales, and a handy general shop and Post Office. Challacombe has excellent local walks and is in an ideal central location from which to explore Exmoor, the sandy beaches of Woolacombe and Croyde, and the spectacular coastline of North Devon & Somerset.

The Farmhouse is one of five holiday cottages (known as "Exmoor Cottage Holidays") converted from a farm. The cottages form a 'U' shape around a charming courtyard and each has a log burning stove and an enclosed garden. The other four cottages (sleeping 1-5 people) are all available separately, please look under "Challacombe". The owners, John & Melanie Moore, live just next door and like to greet all guests personally. We are usually available most days help you plan your day.
