Wonham Barton
Our
imposing, stone farmhouse and its courtyard of traditional barns command
a fine position overlooking the Exe Valley with its wooded hillsides
and peaceful river meadows. The view from our south-facing farmhouse
wing is superb throughout the year. From the highest field on the farm
a splendid panorama of countryside unfolds with Exmoor National Park
in the distance. Our visitors tell us they really enjoy walking over
our 300 acres of pasture and woodland. Early risers regularly see the
native red deer close at hand and an abundance of other wildlife - badgers,
buzzards, owls, foxes and plentiful hedgerow flowers and wild orchids.
Here,
shepherding is still done the traditional way, on horseback, with our
Scottish Border collies working our Limousin cattle and sheep; they
also train for local sheepdog trials. While you are here, we trust time
will run a little more slowly so you can savour the tranquility of our
valley, and share part of our farming year.
We guarantee your comfort in our airy, spacious self-catering
accommodation; we have a small but pleasant garden and ample car parking.
We can help with
additional
services if you wish - basic provisions for your arrival, cot/high chair
for children and we accept well behaved dogs by arrangement.
For the more energetic, Wonham Barton is near Exmoor National Park with breathtaking scenery for walking and riding; it is also conveniently
located for some splendid exploration of historic, secretive Devon,
varied attractions and dramatic coastlines both north and south. We
hope you will be captivated by our special corner of Devon such that
once discovered, you will want to return.
