Upstairs, you will find a further breathtaking view from the sitting room where you can put your feet up in front of the woodburning stove and enjoy a good movie night with family and friends, or throw open the French doors and sit out on the roof terrace and watch the evening light over Porlock Bay. Along the corridor you will discover two further splendid bedrooms including one with a full size bunk bed, great for kids and suitable for adults, and a further bedroom with king-size double and an en-suite shower room for extra privacy. Finishing off the first floor is an inviting bathroom where you can soak at the end of a long day. Worthy Barn is a stone's throw from Porlock Beach, a 6 mile stretch of shingle, part of the South West Coast Path. There is also a plethora of beaches to explore – from sandy Minehead and Dunster to Lee Bay rock pools and sand at low tide, Combe Martin and of course the fossil-rich headland and bay at Blue Anchor and Watchet – but do be aware of the tide! For those that love to be at one with nature, the Exmoor National Park is laced with winding cliff paths, footpaths and bridleways encompassing open heather-clad moorland. Walk the rugged South West Coast Path, Coleridge Way or try some of the world-class mountain biking trails for every skill level or Pony trekking at Horner.

Here, you can also discover all that the magnificent Exmoor National Park has to offer, including a spellbinding display of rolling hills, romantic moorland, and ancient woodlands sure to impress guests of all ages.
