Exmoor is one of England's lesser-visited national parks. Expect open moorland, wooded valleys, ancient villages and wild red deer. The landscape here is genuinely spectacular and very different from the busier tourist spots further west.

The property offers multiple bedrooms across a well-converted barn layout. Spacious open-plan living and dining areas give the whole group room to gather.
