Stockham Farm, Dulverton, Somerset, TA22 9JH

The Victorian Wing of Stockham Farm, near Dulverton (Somerset) is a spacious self-contained wing of a traditional period Exmoor farmhouse, situated in the hills just 1.4 miles from the small town of Dulverton, in the beautiful Exmoor National Park. Sleeps up to 4 guests and is pet-friendly.

Dulverton is just 1.4 miles from Stockham Farm and is full of great places to eat. Woods Bar and Restaurant (by Royal approval!) and The Bridge Inn are very popular and you often need to book. However you can often grab a table at The Lion Hotel or the excellent Tongdam Thai Restaurant (with a delicious take away menu that will be available at the cottage). If it’s a great cup of coffee or a cream tea you are after, look no further than Tantivy, Mortimers or The Copper Kettle. And don’t forget Dulverton’s fab Fish and Chip shop too. For eating and drinking out further afield all of the following come highly recommended… Tarr Farm Inn at Tarr Steps; The Royal Oak, Withypool; The Royal Oak, Winsford; The Swan, Bampton; The George, Brompton Regis; The London Inn, Molland; The Notley Arms, Monksilver; the Tea Rooms at Withypool and Winsford; the National Trust-owned Hunter’s Inn, Heddon Valley (with a fabulous half hour walk to the sea), and the Masons Arms at Knowstone (with a Michelin star no less!).

Completely self-contained, The Victorian Wing of the farmhouse at Stockham Farm has an impressive front door, leading into the porch (great for removing muddy boots and drying off muddy paws).

Comfy chairs and sofa, bookcases, board games and a smart TV, ensure all creature comforts are there for you.
