Renting a farmhouse for a self-catering break with your nearest and dearest is a great way to spend a holiday in England. Exmoor National Park is located in the north of Devon and Somerset and there are plenty of these rural, sometimes thatched properties available to rent dotted all over the park, where you can escape and enjoy a comfortable country retreat in a stunning part of England.
Farmhouses are famous for their big kitchens
Your farmhouse might be large with several bedrooms so that everyone can come along – including your pet dog! You can bundle the kids up to enjoy a leisurely break in a homely setting, where they can play in their new surroundings. Farmhouses are generally known for their big practical kitchens and extensive worktops. You might not be making bread or cheese as Exmoor farmer’s wives may have done of old, but it’s still very nice to enjoy a spacious kitchen that is the heart of the home.
Or you might be looking for a cosy and romantic cottage where you can spend some quality time with your partner, cuddling on the sofa in the evenings. From houses with an open fire and off-road parking, to those with added luxuries such as an outdoor hot tub to sink into or underfloor heating in the stylish bathroom, there is a farmhouse for everyone in Exmoor.
Enjoy the outdoors on holiday in Exmoor
In Exmoor National Park you can walk on picturesque walking trails, soaking up the fresh country air, grab some bikes and cycle through charming towns and villages, try horse riding, sailing or canoeing, or even head to the beach for a spot of surfing or swimming. There is so much to do on a holiday here, and having the right accommodation will make your stay in this part of south-west England even more special – your Exmoor property will very soon come to feel like a second home. Having a beautiful farmhouse in the woodlands with a sweeping garden overlooking the hills in Exmoor National Park will make your stay here really memorable, and after seeing how beautiful this part of the UK is, you’ll probably want to repeat it year after year.
