A restored Devon farmhouse set within working farmland, this villa has the kind of space that makes big group gatherings feel easy rather than chaotic. Six bedrooms across two floors sleep up to sixteen guests, and when the mood calls for it, the farmhouse dining room pulls everyone together. Outside, rolling green hills frame the garden lawn, the hot tub sits with views across the countryside, and the resident sheep and horses add a distinctly rural charm. Exmoor National Park is a sixty-six-minute drive for those who want moorland and dramatic valley scenery beyond the grounds.

About Exmoor
Straddling Devon and Somerset, Exmoor might be one of the UK’s smaller national parks, but you’d never know it when you’re there.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
