Directions - Unless you are walking or cycling, please don't attempt to access the site via Combe Lane, which is a no-through road from the village of Exford.

Instead, from Exford, turn off the B3224 onto Park St heading towards Porlock. Follow this road out of the village and near the top of the hill you will drive over a cattle grid (Hillhead Cross). Take the immediate right, signposted Luccombe. The campsite is the next right turning (if you get to Porlock Post you have gone too far).

The Barn

The barn previously formed the original milking parlour and dairy, plus two attached stables with a long feed store above. It is believed to have been built between 1840 and 1890, with stone walls that are two feet thick, pillars and attractive arch windows.
The popular Coleridge Way runs through the farm and nearby is the West Coastal Path which is ideal for walkers and cyclists. During your stay, we hope you will experience the wonderful night skies of Exmoor and maybe explore the beautiful rugged coastline of Somerset and the surfing beaches of North Devon.
The self-catering barn sleeps up to 10 people in 3 rooms, Coleridge, Dunkery and Snowdrop. There is a well-equipped kitchen/dining area, drying room and two shower rooms with WCs.
In the village of Wheddon Cross, three-quarters of a mile away, there is a petrol station and well-stocked shop with a Post Office. The shop supplies fresh bread, milk, meat, fish, papers and fruit & vegetables. It also serves a selection of alcohol. Open daily. The local pub in the village ‘The Rest & Be Thankful’ is a friendly pub serving good food.
Places to see and things to do in the local area The farm is set in the heart of the Exmoor National Park which covers 265 miles of Somerset & Devon, on a 25-acre farm off a quiet country lane. We are close to open moorland and overlook Snowdrop Valley and the River Avill. Directly from the Coleridge Way on the farm is a network of 600 miles of public footpaths and bridleways. Exmoor has the largest herd of wild red deer in England and the popular native Exmoor Ponies can be seen roaming freely on the moor.
Wildlife is abundant, especially for bird enthusiasts and those who love the night skies. We are a short distance from Dunkery Beacon (standing at 1702ft) which enjoys some of the finest rural views over the Bristol Channel, Wales and up to 86 miles away.
Nearby is the beautiful medieval village of Dunster, with its famous castle and yarn market where there is also a good selection of shops and places to eat. Dunster also provides the nearest beach.
The well-known Victorian town of Minehead is within easy reach and offers a wide range of attractions, beaches, picturesque harbour, public gardens and good shopping. The West Somerset Steam Railway which runs between Minehead and Bishops Lydeard is a great way to spend a few hours travelling through stunning countryside.
Explore the northern edge of Exmoor and the rugged coastline which continues to Lynton & Lynmouth. Enjoy the wild and unspoilt landscapes, cliffs, hidden river valleys and the open moorland.
Tarr Steps, a clapper bridge that crosses over the river Barle, and the Grade II* listed Landacre Bridge which carries traffic over the river are near Withypool, a quiet and unspoilt village surrounded by open moorland.
Also nearby is the village of Dulverton with great places to eat and shop and the Dulverton Heritage Centre offering a wealth of information and the popular Exmoor Pony Centre. Also, Porlock and Porlock Weir offer great places to eat, beautiful scenic walks, outdoor activities and the delicacy of local Porlock Oysters.
Though the neighbouring county of Dorset is better known for its fossils, Somerset also has some fantastic locations. The coastline of Watchet, Blue Anchor and Kilve is within a 40-minute drive and hold particular geological interest, with a variety of fossils being found along the coastline.
Snowdrop Valley: This event is officially open every year at the end of January/beginning of February, and requires only a walk down the lane. See the beautiful snowdrops and walk through the wonderful woodland alongside the River Avill. Enjoy the tea, cakes and more made available in the village after your walk.
Dark Skies: Ideal for stargazers, weather permitting, look to the night skies above Dunkery Beacon as Exmoor offers Europe’s first international dark sky reserve. Recognised in 2011 by the International Dark Skies Association for its low levels of light pollution, we have a festival of activities for two weeks during October/November every year.
On Exmoor, you will find rolling farmland, ancient woodlands, moors, hills and secluded river valleys. From Dunkery Beacon, the highest point in Exmoor National park, on a clear night you can see up to 3000 stars with the naked eye. Star-gazing here is an all year round activity, but the winter months provide greater darkness, giving you the best chance to see the Orion constellation which is visible in the Northern Hemisphere night sky between November and February.
This is a lovely place to find peace and tranquillity, and a wonderful place to explore!

Our park has maintained its family-owned feel throughout the years and ownerships which is something that we are proud to maintain and build upon moving into new seasons. Join us at Lynmouth Holiday Retreat to enjoy all that this beautiful part of the country has to offer.
Hiding high up amongst the rolling hills of Exmoor and nuzzling the dramatic cliffscape of the North Devon coastline, Lynmouth Holiday retreat settles into the extraordinary backdrop overlooking Lynmouth bay and the gentle buzz of its harbourside town. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or looking to own your own holiday home on site to visit whenever you desire, it’s the perfect place to get away and reset amongst the expansive countryside of Exmoor.

The town of Lynmouth went from a tiny fishing village to a thriving Victorian tourist resort dubbed ‘Little Switzerland due to its rolling hills, sheer cliffs and cascading rivers. Whilst the World around may be ever changing, both Lynton & Lynmouth retain their vintage charm, frozen in the reminiscence of an earlier time, the towns are separated by the highest water powered funicular railway in the World and adjoin the infamous craggy cliffs of The Valley of Rocks.

If the surrounding area was anything to go by, the Retreat itself will certainly not disappoint, with its own dog walking meadow, abundant flora and fauna, spell binding bay views and the South West Coast path sat right on your doorstep, this Coast and Country Park offers an idyllic trip back to nature and simpler times. With its quaint meandering roads, lack of large supermarkets, enchanting hillside valleys and snippets of Victorian trinkets in the way of old cast iron street lamps and red post-boxes, (now turned into lending libraries), Lynmouth Holiday Retreat, like the surrounding area celebrates its enchanting history, natural beauty and varied landscapes at the very heart of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Lynmouth Holiday Retreat Camping and Glamping

Our beautiful shepherd hut is situated right on the edge of Exmoor with fabulous views up to the moor and also down to the sea. Our hut is lovingly handcrafted, fully insulated with cast wheels and is the perfect place to unwind and relax.

You are welcome to bring a tent for the duration of your booking in the shepherds hut. We do not allow any campers who aren’t connected with the Shepherd Hut so the site remains exclusive. Camping is in addition to the shepherd hut tariff at the rate of £10 per child per night and £15 per adult per night.

Shepherds Hut

**Benton View Shepherds Hut** is located just outside **Exmoor National Park** near the village of Benton, right in the middle of the breathtakingly gorgeous north **Devon** countryside.  The very welcoming owners have created an oasis here on their working farm; a small and exclusive one-party **glamping** site, set in beautiful rolling green meadows, with a single **handcrafted shepherds hu**t for two, with fantastic views up to the moor and down to the sea.  Another tent is welcome if there are more than two in your party, but the site is exclusively yours for the duration of your stay.

The location is very peaceful and wonderfully rural; the Shepherd’s hut sits proudly in the orchard on its cast wheels, with wooden steps leading up to the stable door.  It is surrounded by a low picket fence, so you won’t have any friendly goats joining you for dinner, and there is a well kept private garden with a barbeque area and a picnic bench for eating outdoors.  Inside the hut there is everything you need; a double bed for two, linen, a kitchenette with gas hob and sink, table and chairs and a log burner (with wood) to keep you cosy on chillier nights.  The shower and toilet are in a separate block and there is also access to a larger kitchen with fridge/freezer and microwave should you need it.  Nothing has been forgotten.  The wood panelled shepherd's hut is beautifully furnished - tasteful but unfussy - with pretty curtains and cushions making it homely and warm, and a welcome pack with a few basics will be there on arrival.  Because of the sheep, lambs and goats on the farm, you will have to leave your doggy pal at home for this one….but there will be no shortage of other friendly animals to cuddle if you want to!

It is blissfully tranquil at Benton View.  Guests are allowed to wander around the 14 acres of farmland, help with the animals or just sit and relax in the peaceful surroundings.  For exploring North Devon you could not be in a better place.  It is just a few miles from Exmoor National Park, a stunning landscape of wild moors, wooded valleys and secluded walking trails - perfect for hikers - and some wonderful cycling routes too.  The **beaches** of North Devon are also very close by, including the sandy stretches at **Ilfracombe**, **Woolacombe** and Putsborough beach at **Croyde** - renowned as one of the cleanest and most beautiful beaches in the south west.  Here you can swim and surf or have a go at something wild, like coasteering!  For a more relaxing day trip, hop aboard the **Lynton and Barnstaple steam train**; the only steam railway in the UK where you can travel in the actual Victorian carriages that were designed in the 1890’s.  Or take the boat from Illfracombe to the National Trust’s **Lundy Island,** home to a fascinating array of wildlife - including **puffins** - and some seriously dramatic scenery.

Back at Benton View, relax in your private garden at the Shepherds Hut, fire up the barbeque and watch the sun setting over spectacular scenery.  Exmoor was Europe’s first ever International Dark Sky Reserve, which makes it one of the best places in the UK for stargazing; so just sit back, and enjoy the view…..

You are welcome to bring a tent for the duration of your booking in the shepherds hut. We do not allow any campers who aren’t connected with the Shepherd Hut so the site remains exclusive. Camping is in addition to the shepherd hut tariff at the rate of £10 per child per night and £15 per adult per night.
