A little under 3 miles from Winsford and Exford, off the beaten track in the centre of the moor, is Nethercote Byre. A lovely, comfortable and relaxed house, Nethercote Byre has been converted from a large U-shaped barn and sits in a wonderfully tranquil spot - perfect for nature watching, walking or simply escaping modern life. With wooden floors, good fabrics, original artwork and natural timber the huge living room with a wood burning stove is great for getting the family together. Two pairs of sliding glazed doors lead from here to the courtyard. A second sitting room/playroom with TV, sofa, table football, table for jigsaws or games provides space for children to play on those not so sunny days. There are four bedrooms, two at each end of the house, a super king-size double and three twin rooms, all sharing two bathrooms. Outside is a private enclosed courtyard with table and chairs and you are welcome to wander and explore the owner's surrounding land. Nearby, you can fly fish with tuition in Exebridge or frequent one of the many countryside inns in the surrounding villages. Dulverton and Bampton are interesting towns to browse and Wimbleball Lake offers a whole range of exciting water sports. A wonderfully remote place to stay and explore Exmoor on foot.
The picturesque village of Exford is situated in the heart of the Exmoor National Park. In a lovely setting by the River Exe, Exford boasts a village green, tea rooms, a shop, Post Office and two traditional inns serving excellent food and drinks

Note: This house is approached over 1¾ miles of rough hardcore track, best for 4x4s or sturdy cars, Much regret inconvenience caused by the state of the track, the property land had recently had a major Tree Planting operation within the valley but work on the track is scheduled and with any luck improvements will soon be made, Best to drive slowly and avoid the low-slung cars, and for safety reasons too, please keep speed down!
Note: This property has a private water supply which is tested regularly.

It is a very comfortable property with every facility (bar a hairdryer), and the walking straight from the door or further afield is glorious . The driveway is a challenge but just adds to the uniqueness of the property!

Cracking cottage really in the middle of nowhere. Do not try and take a car that is lower than normal down the access track! Dawn the caretaker checked in via message during our stay and was amazing. The owner popped in at the start of the week and said hello. Suggest you plan your food carefully as nearest supermarkets are nearly an hour away! Amazing WiFi. No one else in the valley (pretty much). Wonderful!

It is situated in a stunningly beautiful, quiet and remote valley. There are amazing walks directly from the property. Perfect for a complete getaway.
