The Bothy at Heale Farm
Exmoor
Exmoor International Dark Sky Reserve · Inside
Overview
The Bothy at Heale Farm is a rustic-chic barn for two, tucked in a private corner of a small hill farm near Parracombe, within Exmoor National Park. Refurbished with calming natural tones, it keeps its original stone walls and wood floors, with an open-plan king bedroom, sitting area and log burner flowing together, and a small kitchen and shower room. Double doors open onto a private garden where natural streams and a gentle waterfall run past the wildflowers, with a fire pit and seating for evenings outside. Couples-only and dog-friendly, with open views over Exmoor and the sea, it's a quiet, romantic retreat a short drive from the Heddon Valley and the North Devon coast.
