We’ve got friends staying with us this weekend so we took an afternoon trip to the Valley of Rocks yesterday and were greeted by these wonderful boys and girls. The approaching sunset made the experience even more spectacular.

If you’re staying with us, Lynton and Lynmouth are fantastic places to explore. Often described as Exmoor’s very own Little Switzerland, the area offers breathtaking scenery, wildlife, and unforgettable views.

Today I had the day off and spent it learning the art of smoking with The Exmoor Game School. We cold-smoked eggs, butter and cheese, plus hot-smoked trout, garlic and venison. Naturally, we then tucked into all of it for lunch — and it was absolutely delicious!

If you’re staying with us in the future and fancy a unique day out, I can thoroughly recommend it. It’s worth booking in advance of your stay…

Walkies!!! Are you a lake or paddock person?

Meet Poppy…. (And Poppy’s Mum and Dad ☺️)

This was Poppy’s happy face after her SECOND walk in the paddock that morning before she was leaving for her second week of her holiday in Bude❤️

A bit like some of us, Poppy is starting to feel it in her joints a bit, so that grin was the face of delight after a week of walks in the paddock and round the lake! No continuous in and out of the boot was a dream come true for Poppy, which meant she could make the most of her Exmoor adventures.

Our guests always comment on how much they love paddock meaning walkies don’t necessarily need the car… we have benches down by Holcombe Water (our name sake stream) for summer evenings. It’s a lovely spot!!!

Even Pippin can’t help but force a grin in the paddock 🤣 (gorgeous Pips!) 🙄

Happy Friday everyone!

Happy Somerset Day from Old Holcombe Water Farm! 💚🍎🌳

For those that don’t know our story, we actually didn’t know the area before we moved here, but fell head over heels for our now home. We are so glad we took the risk and now call West Somerset, truly HOME! 💚 Today, the willows around our lake are the brightest spring green, the air is clear, all you can hear are the birds, cows and sheep…. It really is the most wonderful retreat from the busy world! (Ok enough gushing now haha!)

Our guests say the same, Somerset isn't just a county, it’s a welcoming discovery for them and their dogs where pooches are welcome almost everywhere!! We’ve traded the crowds for:
🌅The Views: Breathtaking lookouts over Wimbleball Lake from Haddon Hill or standing atop Selworthy Beacon.
🛤️The Nostalgia: Watching the West Somerset Railway steam past while the dogs run wild on Blue Anchor beach (dog-friendly all year round!).
🌿The Peace: The quiet of nature and the rolling views.

Coming home is the best part. We’ve made sure that Linhay, Hillside and South Barn are perfect for those who love a bit of comfort (and for the dogs who love a bit of mud!). 🐾

We have our 3.5-acre private paddock for morning sprints, our dedicated dog wash and welcome doggy biscuits, your four-legged best friends are the VIPs here. 🐶

Whether you’re looking for walking adventures or just looking for a quiet escape with your partner and the dog, there’s no better place to reset.

📅 We have a few dates remaining for a late spring escape. See our pinned post for dates and prices. Drop us a message to book direct.

Come and explore Somerset and Exmoor for yourself! You won’t be disappointed… WE PROMISE! 🤩
