Holidays at Kings Farm on Exmoor
Situated in a breathtakingly beautiful position on the banks of the River Barle, in the pretty Exmoor village of Withypool, Kings Farm offers superior accommodation in the heart of Exmoor National Park. South-facing Kings Farm is surrounded by its own land and landscaped gardens to provide an oasis of tranquility for holidays with or without your horse. The farm itself can be found along a tree-lined drive and offers on-site stabling, as well as fishing on the River Barle. It is an idyllic, secluded retreat offering a peaceful base from which to walk, ride or cycle on the moors and through the wooded river valleys. Whilst the horse riding is superb, there is also plenty to do for non-horsey friends and family.

The picturesque village of Exford is 3 miles to the north and Dulverton, with its pretty shopping square, is 8 miles to the south. There is masses to do and explore within Exmoor National Park, including the nearby beauiful North Devon coastline.
Accommodation at Kings Farm
The spacious accommodation comprises of one double and one twin room, furnished to a high standard, with comfortable beds, relaxing wing chairs, televisions with DVD, tea and coffee making facilities, central heating, hairdryers and alarm clocks. All with stunning views to the garden or river. An additional south facing room is also available. The bathrooms are new with superior fittings and power showers. The south-facing lounge with log fire is available for our guests use and is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a cup of tea.
Aga cooked breakfasts are served in the dining room, looking out onto the river. All ingredients are locally sourced whenever possible, with homemade bread and jam. B&B costs from £35.00 per person per night.
Bring Your Horse On Holiday
Stabling & Turnout for Your Horse Stabling is available for people bringing their own horses. The location is a rider’s paradise, with direct access onto a number of moors. With well-signed bridleways and r.u.p.p.s the choice and length of rides is endless. With three fox hound packs and the Devon and Somerset staghounds all of which meet in or near the village there are plenty of sporting activities available to the horse rider. Bring Your Dog Too Guests are welcome to bring their dogs too. Dogs can sleep in the comfortable stables and there is excellent dog walking directly from the property. Guests should bring their own dog beds and equipment.
Activities
Fishing King's farm has the added benefit of being able to offer its own 1/2 mile of fishing, in season along the River Barle. Walking The two moors way, a long distance trail starting in Ivybridge and ending in Lynmouth passes though Withypool. There are numerous footpaths to various locations on the moor, including to Tarr Steps, with its famous clapper bridge (4 miles south along the River Barle) and to the medieval bridge to Landacre, 2 miles north along the river. There are many circular walks from Withypool, many of which have refreshments available en-route. You are likely to see the native Exmoor ponies or some of the fine red deer herd during your walks. Shooting There are a number of syndicated and farmers shoots in the area, in addition to a number of famous high bird shoots where days can be purchased.
