Nestled in the serene and secluded expanse of Exmoor, Wingate Farm stands as a recently renovated traditional farmhouse, offering three bedrooms and comfortably accommodating up to 8 guests. Situated on a working farm, this idyllic retreat provides a tranquil escape in the midst of nature. The proximity of the South West Coast Path and the Coleridge Way adds to the allure, making it an ideal haven for family holidays and a perfect launching point for exploration in the breathtaking surroundings of Exmoor.
Steeped in history, Wingate Farm has stood as a farmstead for over 180 years, offering a tranquil and relaxing retreat in the heart of Exmoor National Park. Nestled on 100 acres, the farmhouse is a testament to timeless character and quality, providing dog-friendly accommodations. The owners, residing next door, extend a warm welcome to those seeking a peaceful escape in this glorious setting.
Wingate Farm borders the breathtaking South West Coastal Path, just a leisurely walk from the cottage, offering captivating views of the surrounding landscape. Nearby, the renowned Blue Ball Inn beckons, accessible by a scenic 4-mile stroll along the 'Jagged Path.' For those with a bit more energy, a continuation to Lynmouth and Lynton, boasting a charming harbor and exceptional fish and chips, is an additional mile away.
Lynton, the nearest town, is a mere 10-minute drive west, while Porlock and Minehead are within easy reach to the east, providing an array of shops, restaurants, pubs, cafes, and amenities. The farm next door adds a historical dimension with its Roman archaeology—the "Old Burrow" from circa 50 AD, constructed during the reign of Claudius. The visible earthworks of an ancient army encampment offer a fascinating walking adventure, just across a couple of fields from the cottage.
For a sandy seaside escape, Lee Abbey's beach is a picturesque 15-minute drive away, while the renowned surfing beaches of Saunton, Croyde, and Woolacombe are reachable within 45-60 minutes.
Explore the numerous walking routes both on the farm and in the vicinity, respecting the natural surroundings by leaving gates as you find them. Wingate Farm welcomes you to immerse yourself in the rich history and stunning landscapes of Exmoor.
