Set in the courtyard of an original farmstead in a scenic location, within easy reach of Exmoor National Park’s open moorlands and the lovely market towns of Dulverton and Bampton, The Watermill makes a perfect base for walking and touring holidays in this special part of Somerset. The layout of the cottage makes it ideal for sharing with friends or family.

The spacious sitting-room and the bright kitchen/dining-room, complete with wood-burner, both look into the courtyard garden which has been planted considerately, to create privacy. In the sitting-room there is also a Smart TV for those cosy film evenings and LED floor-standing reading lamps, which provide the perfect setting for a spot of quiet reading, (be sure to treat yourself to a coffee with the Nespresso machine before you get settled!). As well as having its own dedicated outside space in the attractive sheltered courtyard garden, there is a separate picnic-area with fabulous open views – great for evening barbecues.

Exebridge is in the foothills of Exmoor National Park and local footpaths lead from the farmstead to a pretty riverside walk, the Exe Valley Way, into Dulverton for shops, cafes and pubs. The high moors are just a few miles away and there you can explore to your heart's content and take in some breathtaking views.

An easy drive along the north Devon link road will take you to the spectacular sandy beaches and dramatic cliffs along the north Devon coast. Alternatively, you can cross Exmoor to Porlock and join the coast road that winds its way, with stunning views towards Lynton and Lynmouth.

As well as local footpaths – one of which runs directly from Rock Farm to Dulverton – you are welcome to exercise your dogs in the field next to the barbecue area. There may occasionally be livestock in the fields, in which case the owners will be happy to tell you where the best local walks are.
