A spectacular Exmoor location - perfectly placed for a riding holiday

Westermill Farm
Westermill Farm is a 500 acre working hill farm set in a beautiful, secluded valley in the middle of Exmoor, by the River Exe. Work involves running a 50 cow Aberdeen Angus suckler herd and a South Country Cheviot sheep flock. There are also pigs, chickens and other farm yard animals. Guests can enjoy the fantastic setting and indulge in riding, fishing, walking and bathing.


If you are seeking the peace and tranquillity to help you unwind or the exhilaration that comes from energetic outdoor pursuits, Exmoor is the place for you.
