This spectacular farmhouse, set high on the hill above the charming village of Withypool, enjoys far-reaching views over Exmoor. Located in an area of exceptional natural beauty, this home is listed on the Internation Dark Sky Reserve for its distinguished quality of natural nighttime environment - meaning you can enjoy your stay surrounded by exceptional star-clustered skies. This farmhouse is perfectly suited for an extended family or group of friends looking to make as many memories inside the house as out. Imagine starting your day soaking in your private stand-alone bathtub before spending a leisurely breakfast altogether around the large oak table - open up your windowed wall and take in the lyrical songs of wild birds in your garden. After breakfast, get your adrenaline going in the charming games room, and take your pick of foosball or table tennis before collapsing on the plump sofas in the traditional-beamed sitting room. This is what life in this countryside manor is like. If you’re seeking a natural connection in the afternoon, take a walk along the banks of the River Barle to Tarr Stepps and Landacre Bridge. You’re right in the heart of Exmoor National Park so expect stunning coastal views, evergreen landscapes and rugged moorlands. Boots muddied, head back to cosy in your living room in front of the giant hearth, the crackling fire is the perfect backdrop to a few games of cards.
