About this property

The Wool Barn, Simonsbath

Property Summary
The Wool Barn is situated within the heart of the Exmoor National Park. It sleeps up to 8/10 guests in four bedrooms & sofa bed in snug room. The property is warm and comfortable and ideally located for exploring the hills and moorlands, the pretty villages and the rugged coast of north Devon.

Main Description
The Wool Barn has been recently converted, from a shearing barn used on the Estate many years ago, to warm comfortable living space for you to enjoy a holiday exploring Exmoor National Park. It is surrounded by open moorland, historic treasures to seek out, pretty Exmoor villages and is only about an hour's car journey to the surfing beaches of north Devon.

The house has 4 en-suite bedrooms - 2 with king size beds and 2 twin bedded rooms. All linen and towels are provided for your stay. The new kitchen is well equipped and there is a large dining table which leads through to the sitting room which has plenty of seating and a wood burning stove to give that cosy feel. There is a downstairs cloakroom and a study/quiet room with adjoining shower room. There is a washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge freezer.

Throughout the house you will see family and local pictures, a good selection of books and some interesting sculptures.

Upstairs sleeps 8 guests plus a cot with 4 bedrooms - 2 king size and 2 twin rooms. All en-suite.

We provide freshly laundered linen, towels, tea towels, washing up liquid, loo rolls etc. Central heating, electricity, etc is all included in the tariff.

From the house you have direct access to the Estate with wonderful moorland walks - maybe to find Wheal Eliza the old Exmoor tin mine, a visit to Wimbleball Lake, the Doone Valley, Tarr Steps, The Lynton/Lynmouth Cliff Railway or perhaps a ride on the West Somerset Steam railway.

Well behaved dogs are welcome for +£20 each, usually a maximum of 2 but 3 may be considered on request. We do ask that they remain downstairs, do not jump on the furniture and are on a lead when walking on the farm near stock.

Stabling is available locally by arrangement, plus a groom (extra) if required. £20 per horse per night.

The region
Exmoor is a really interesting place to visit with its wide range of attractions. Walking, riding, cycling, sailing, golf and many outdoor sports are here for you to try. Beautiful scenery with heather moorlands, rivers and streams and the rugged coastline. there is always something new to see. Do seek out the wildlife we have here - the red deer, Exmoor ponies, foxes, badges and the many birds that live here.

We have snowdrops in the spring followed by the bluebells and primroses then the gorse and heather - there is always something to see. You may even discover the ice-cream van at the top of Porlock Hill tempting you while you enjoy the coastal views over to Wales!

There is always something new to discover on Exmoor and The Wool Barn is an ideal base for your holiday.
