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
