You can't get much more rural than this enchanting
18th-century farmhouse. Rustic, gingham-themed bedrooms feature chimney breasts and
reclaimed joists. The only sounds are the sheep, dear and pheasants outside. There's also
back-to-nature woodland camping, a two-person, shabby-chic shepherd`s hut (£65), and a
cookery school in the barn.

Home to a
retired army officer in the 1930s, evidence of that era is everywhere: from the pith helmet
on the hat rack to the overstuffed armchairs in the lounge. The colour schemes reflect Ex-
moor's landscape: soft heather-purple, dusky green and russet browns. There's also wor-
tleberry jam for breakfast, a peaceful sun-terrace, and homeade sloe gin in the bar.
