Located in the middle of Exmoor National Park(a Dark Sky Reserve), just outside of Winsford Upcott Farm House is a fantastic base for exploring the West Country while still being a working farm.

Downstairs there is a large family fully equipped kitchen with a small breakfast table, and complete with a large inglenook displaying implements that would have traditionally been used. The kitchen is fitted with two electric ovens plus a further small oven/grill, and hob plus dishwasher. Adjoined to the kitchen is the porch which houses the washing machine and tumble dryer. There is a large cold store/larder containing additional tall larder fridge (in addition to the under-counter fridge in the kitchen) and chest freezer, plenty of space to store a large family supply of food! The spacious boot room to the rear of the house has an exterior door, so access with muddy boots can be made via this entrance, there is a downstairs toilet off the boot room. The sitting room overlooks the front garden, it is spacious and has an open fire. One of the sofas can be converted into a sofa bed plus a memory topper for two additional guests, in order for the property to accommodate a total of 16 guests. The dining room, across the hallway, looks out over the front garden too and the large dining table provides plenty of room for everyone to sit down to eat together.

The region
+ MoreThis is a great base for exploring the wilds of Exmoor - wide open moors or cosy little coves along the coast and many family beaches. It's also a good base to see many of the National Trust properties. Also a good area for coarse fishing, horse riding, and of course walking alon...g the many footpaths of Exmoor!
It's approx 1.5 miles (5 mins in the car) to Winsford, where there's the local pub with restaurant called the Royal Oak, Winsford. In the other direction, it's approx 2.5 miles to Wheddon Cross where you will find The Rest & Be Thankful Inn, another village pub that also serves food. It's also approx 2.5 miles to The Badgers Holt at Bridgetown.
