About Smiddy
Smiddy is a two bedroom barn conversion on a farm within Exmoor National Park, near Dulverton on the Somerset side, sleeping four. The building's exposed wooden beams give it an immediate warmth, and the farm setting is the real draw: fifty acres in the southern part of Exmoor, with unspoilt scenery in every direction and good access to quiet country lanes, moorland and bridleways straight from the yard. What makes this cottage genuinely unusual is that it offers onsite stabling, so you can take a holiday with your horse rather than leaving it behind. DIY livery is available.
The lounge has a dramatic high ceiling and a large picture window, with comfortable seating and a smart TV, and it is a good room in which to spread out a map and decide where to go. A dining area seats four for meals in, and the kitchen area is well equipped for self catering with a microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. The ground floor bedroom can be made up as either a super king bed or a twin depending on what suits, and it opens into a stylish jack and jill bathroom with both a shower and a bath. Upstairs on the mezzanine is a double bed, which makes for a pleasantly open, informal sleeping arrangement. Dogs are welcome by arrangement.
Outside, the barn has its own private patio with a picnic bench, a private garden and a barbecue, which covers the essentials of summer living. The cottage is one of four holiday homes on the farm, so the setting stays quiet without feeling isolated, and short breaks are available all year round. Parking is provided. For anyone whose holiday revolves around being outdoors, whether on foot, on a bike or on horseback, the location does most of the work.
Exmoor is on the doorstep, and this southern stretch is quieter than the coastal fringe: moorland, wooded combes and steep lanes, with walking, cycling, horse riding and country pursuits all readily available. Within about an hour's drive is Dunster with its historic castle and the sandy sweep of Blue Anchor beach, and the Exmoor coast beyond. Tiverton, twenty miles away, is the nearest sizeable town. Dulverton itself makes a pleasant excursion, with independent shops and places to eat at the southern gateway to the national park. Whether you want to spend your days exploring Exmoor on horseback or simply walking out of the farmyard and into open country, this is a charming and practical base.
