Six cosy cottages nestle in grass paddocks on the farm, heated by an eco-friendly wood-chip biomass boiler using wood grown locally, each with a wood-burning stove for the full country cottage effect. They sit in a private valley on a 500-acre working hill farm, surrounded by the kind of silence that takes a day or two to properly settle into. Westermill makes an ideal base for exploring the open moorland, wooded valleys and spectacular coastal scenery — or just for relaxing and escaping the everyday. Visitors can walk directly from their door onto the farm and beyond. There is no need to drive your car at all - Westermill does not border any road and four circular walks beside the River Exe lead straight off the doorstep. The cottages have a distinctive Scandinavian character — simple, well-made, warm. Dogs and horses are welcome, with grazing available. There is a laundry, large drying room, and a seasonal shop on site. westermill The shop sells bread, milk, eggs and bacon sourced locally, as well as the farm's own award-winning Aberdeen Angus beef, lamb and pork, so you can collect your dinner on the way back from a walk! The farm sits within the International Dark Sky Reserve 0 Exmoor was designated Europe's first in 2011 - and the valley position means stargazing on a clear night is remarkable.
