Church Farm, Stoke Pero

Church Farm is a National Trust farmhouse tucked away in an idyllic rural location near Dunkery Beacon in a beautiful part of Exmoor National Park. It is situated at the head of the East Water and is surrounded by open moorland where wild red deer and Exmoor ponies roam freely. Church Farm is set in a beautiful spot beside a quiet road, literally on the edge of the moor. Red deer, sheep and Exmoor ponies roam freely beside the farmhouse and there is fabulous walking from the doorstep.

The property sleeps up to 4 guests in 3 bedrooms and comprises:
Large living-dining room with Laura Ashley curtains and furnishings
Large stone fireplace and wood burning stove
Oak beams are a feature of this farmhouse
Wonderful moorland views from the windows and the walls are adorned with hunting and moorland prints
Kitchen is equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, gas cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer
One double, one single and the third bedroom can be used as double or twin (comprising a double and single bed)
Laura Ashley linen and curtains

The Farmhouse has full central heating and plenty of hot water, all included in the price
Saturday changeover during the summer season
Friday changeover during late September and October

Please note, mobile phone signal cannot be obtained at the property, but some networks will work a short distance away (the best coverage is for Orange/EE but other networks will work in places on Exmoor). Wifi is included (but it's not high speed internet in rural Exmoor! i.e. unable to stream tv programmes)

The water is supplied by a natural spring (UV treated).

A small part of the farmhouse has been made into a one-bedroom apartment which is used by the owners with separate access. They will be on hand to answer any questions you may have during your stay but will otherwise leave you to your own devices.

Wonderful cottage on the moor
We loved our stay at church farm, the cottage was fully equipped with all you need. A minutes walk up the lane took you to the moor and we saw red deer most evenings - it was great! Highly recommended for a get away from it all break!

Away from it all
Lovely cottage - good sized living space, comfy sofas, large dining table, large bathroom, comfy beds...... and delicious muffins left for our arrival - thank you. Our boys loved the animals - especially the lamb whom they named Shaun. The moor is a beautiful wild space - it was great to find several small herds of red deer during our stay. Fantastic walking country, both on the moor and on the coast. A brilliant find!

Lovely Exmoor Farmhouse
When we arrived we were greeted by the lovely views of Exmoor, the farmhouse exactly as shown in the pictures, a vase of gorgeous yellow roses (as well as milk, coffe tea etc and a packet of biscuits) Angela came by shortly after to make sure we had everything we needed, had seen the information for the property and COVID-19 guidance. We made use of the walking guide books to plan walks during the week, with minimal driving. We saw deer, Exmoor ponies, dragon flies, rabbits amongst other things and all on walks straight from the front door. Despite being next door we didn’t see Angela other than when we went to ask if younger daughter could see her horses, which she very kindly let us. (Thank you). The WiFi is rural (slow) but wasn’t at all missed. We have had a lovely peaceful much enjoyed holiday, (No really close shops but there are small shops in Porlock, the “One stop Shop” is cheaper than the Spa and in Minehead there are a Tesco with petrol station, a Lidl and a Morrison’s all next to each other near the sea front)

Unique cottage in Exmoor
Great stay in a unique place. We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was very cosy. The beds were fine. The surroundings are lovely. We did some very nice walks in the beautifull hills and woods. Also beaches and cultural places like Dunster Castle are not far away. We had a problem with the washing machine, but that was solved very quickly.
