It's ideal for walkers and dog lovers, offering easy access to all the splendours of Exmoor. Red deer often visit the garden, much to the owner's dismay, and the gentle cluck of our tame chickens creates a relaxing atmosphere throughout the year. Stunning in Summer, with beautiful gardens, and reassuringly cosy in Winter. Sometimes you're above the clouds, and the feeling is rather special. It's not surprising that Coleridge wrote Kubla Khan in this little valley; you can sense the history today. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Stereo - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near the sea ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Golf - Table tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sledding nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32930000/32922600/32922565/bcdc302c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1 bedroom accommodation in Watchet Watchet - Kitchen - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-31&endDate=2026-02-01&selected=32922565&PinnedHotelID=32922565&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Rules We have a robust Cover 19 policy which to which we respectfully ask all our guests to adhere.

Very roomy and charming. Very comfortable facilities and lovely, helpful hosts. Fresh eggs for breakfast from the friendly chickens! A bench overlooking the sea for our happy hour, wonderful walks to interesting and ancient places. Lots of wildlife - deer, pheasant, grouse, wild ponies up on the nearby moor. We'd love to return. ##### Helen C. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martina W. 26 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Such a lovely place! Jeremy and Paivi are wonderful hosts, and their whole farm is a little treasure. We found everything needed (and more) in the goergeous rooms, which are furnished with loving attention to details. The surroundings and the landscape is quite stunning, you can go for walks and see lots of native wildlife. We loved to sit in the garden and enjoy the sight and the visits of the chicken ;-) The farm is rather secluded, so it's very peaceful and calm, and you need a car for purchases or excursions to for example Exmoor or one of the nice little towns like Lynton or Porlock. We spent two weeks at Parsonage Farm Stables and had a really extraordinary time - thank you very much, we'd love to come back someday! ##### Martina W. Stayed 13 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Myra T. 11 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Unique We loved our stay at the Parsonage Farm Stables. The location is in the Exmoor National Park. The views out over the Bristol Channel towards Wales are very beautiful. The cottage itself is authentic and quirky and well equipped. You can start many walks from the doorstep, the south west coastpath is a stones throw away. And so is the rest of Exmoor. Moors or sea, you are spoiled for choice. It is very quiet, no traffic. We felt welcome and the host replies very quick when you have questions. Very flexibel, so no stress when you arrive a bit later than planned as we did because of the traffic. There are other holiday lets on the premises, but you have all the privacy if you wish so. The location is quite remote, which we loved. But you must not be in a hurry because the lane is single file track and you have to wait for the sheep and gamebirds to clear the way. If your party is only adults, maybe the second bedroom is a bit on the small side. The ceilings are high, but large people may have to duck at the doors, as is the case with many cottages. ##### Myra T.

It’s off the beaten track, but the peace and quiet is your reward for getting there. The view to the Bristol Channel from the garden and kitchen window, meant you spent your time watching clouds rolling past or boats going up and down. It gave us a good base to visit parts of Somerset and North Devon. ##### Donna M.
