Stepping outside, end each day in style with a luxurious seat amongst the bubbles of the hot tub, soaking in the scenic views over the rolling countryside, or escape the excitement and enjoy an hour of peace and quiet as you delve into a captivating book in the charming snug. As the day draws to a close, head upstairs where you'll find three bedrooms, a super-king-size, benefiting from it's own en-suite bathroom, and two double rooms, traditionally decorated with characterful features and serviced by the neighboring family bathroom. Take a break from doing the cooking and head into the heart of Bampton, where you'll be spoilt for choice with eateries to suit all tastes, including the award-winning traditional English country inn, The Swan, serving hearty meals prepared with seasonal and regional ingredients in a charming and rustic setting.

Head further afield and visit the coastal village of Minehead, just across the border in Somerset, to spend a fun-filled day at the beach where you can enjoy an invigorating dip in the scenic waters of Blue Anchor Bay, or if you'd prefer to stay on land, there are an exciting selection of National Trust properties worth visiting, including the gothic Victorian mansion house of Knightshayes Court. Whether you're planning a day at the beach, or exploring the rugged landscape of Exmoor, choose Exmoor Farmhouse as a base that you'll be delighted to return to.
