Location
Exmoor is stunning. It's a national park and an area of outstanding national beauty. We're 6 miles from the nearest town, so deep in the countryside, however, most supermarkets deliver here. The North Devon coast is popular with surfers and we are not far from the River Exe and River Barle, which are both popular for kayaking. Dulverton, and Exmoor in general have amazing gastro pubs and teashops. There is a chance that guests may sight, buzzards, red deer and Exmoor ponies. This is a great countryside for walking, biking, riding and wildlife lovers.

West Anstey sits just outside the southern boundary of Exmoor National Park in North Devon. Dulverton (in Somerset) is approx 5 miles (15 minutes drive). It is a beautiful town on the banks of the River Barle, known as the southern gateway to Exmoor and it is also home to the head quarters of the Exmoor National Park. Dulverton is well equipped with shops including Post Office, butchers, bakery, fish & chip shop, greengrocer, late-opening supermarket, art gallery, hairdressers, guns and fishing tackle shop.
