Come and witness the magic of new life as Exmoor awakens: buds unfurl into blossom and the moor welcomes the arrival of new foals.
Take a wander through our woodland in late March and April to discover a beautiful carpet of bluebells beneath the trees. Along the banks of Dane’s Brook, early dragonflies begin to appear, darting above the clear, bubbling water, a sure sign that the countryside is coming back to life.
Longer days, fresh green landscapes and quieter trails make spring a wonderfully peaceful time to explore.
Summer brings long, light-filled days and the freedom to spend as much time outdoors as you like.
Explore miles of moorland walks straight from the farm, picnic beside the river, or head to Exmoor’s dramatic coastline for sea air and hidden coves. Evenings are made for BBQs on the patio, watching the sun dip behind the valley with a glass in hand.
As darkness falls, the skies come alive as Exmoor’s International Dark Sky Reserve status makes summer stargazing truly unforgettable.
Autumn wraps the farm and surrounding moorland in rich colour: burnished golds, deep reds and misty morning light.
It’s a wonderful season for walking, with quieter trails, crisp air and the sound of red deer stags echoing across the valleys during the rut. Woodland paths are at their most atmospheric, and local pubs offer the perfect place to warm up after a day outdoors.
Back at the cottages, light the log burner, settle in and enjoy the slower pace that autumn brings.
Winter on Exmoor is peaceful, cosy and wonderfully restorative.
Frosted fields, dramatic skies and the occasional dusting of snow create a striking landscape, perfect for brisk walks followed by afternoons beside the fire. The cottages feel especially welcoming at this time of year, with log burners glowing and far-reaching views across the valley.
On clear nights, the winter constellations shine brilliantly and if you’re lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of the Aurora Borealis, which has been known to appear over Exmoor’s dark skies.
