Set in the stunning heart of Exmoor National Park, our 2 Exmoor cottages, Birch Cleave Stables and Birch Cleave Tower, offer the ultimate walker’s paradise with countless trails beginning right at your doorstep. Step outside and immediately immerse yourself in breath-taking moorland landscapes, where ancient paths wind through heather-clad hills and wooded valleys. The Barle Valley offers particularly splendid riverside walks, with the chance to spot native red deer, Exmoor ponies and diverse birdlife along your journey.

For the more adventurous, the challenging terrain of Dunkery Beacon – Somerset’s highest point – rewards determined hikers with panoramic views across the Bristol Channel to Wales. Alternatively, follow gentler paths to hidden gems like Landacre Bridge or Tarr Steps, a prehistoric clapper bridge spanning the River Barle.

After a day’s exploration, return to your cosy cottage to rest weary legs beside the woodburner. Our location in Simonsbath means you can enjoy different routes each day without driving anywhere – truly experiencing the tranquillity and unspoilt beauty that makes Exmoor one of Britain’s most cherished national parks.
