About this property

Church Farm, Stoke Pero

It is situated at the head of the East Water and is surrounded by open moorland where wild red deer and Exmoor ponies roam freely.

Red deer, sheep and Exmoor ponies roam freely beside the farmhouse and there is fabulous walking from the doorstep.

Please note, mobile phone signal cannot be obtained at the property, but some networks will work a short distance away (the best coverage is for Orange/EE but other networks will work in places on Exmoor).

The water is supplied by a natural spring (UV treated).

A small part of the farmhouse has been made into a one-bedroom apartment which is used by the owners with separate access. They will be on hand to answer any questions you may have during your stay but will otherwise leave you to your own devices. The adjacent farm buildings house the owners horses, dogs, chickens and sheep.

Lovely cottage, beautiful location in the heart of Exmoor. The kids loved to be around the animals and still miss the pet sheep Herdy. Kitchen is well equiped. We had some trouble with the wifi but it was resolved by the owners in a day. My kids did not like the hunting theme, they found it a bit scary. There is a walking path next to the house, pretty and a great place to walk the dog, we saw a fox twice! You can walk to the beacon within an hour, lovely walk as well!

This cottage is just stunning and such an amazing retreat from a current weird and busy world! Excel
This cottage is just stunning and such an amazing retreat from a current weird and busy world! Excellent accommodation for us and our two dogs who were welcomed by the farm dogs plus cat!! The whole set up was very spacious and functional. Angela and Bob were always on hand and so helpful and friendly. We loved being next to the farmyard and being able to see the beautiful horses and foals, plus hens and chicks. The surrounding countryside and walks were so easily accessible and during the heatwave week, welcome streams and fords were a must and never far away. Lots of places to visit too - great tea rooms and restaurants. Altogether it was just perfect!!

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
High on the moor above Porlock is the tiny hamlet of Stoke Pero. Stoke is Old English for 'outlying farmstead or hamlet', which sums up Stoke Pero perfectly! The Pero probably comes from the Landowners in the middle ages. The views from the common across Exmoor and to the Bristol Channel are quite outstanding on a clear day. Stoke Pero Church is reputedly the highest church in Somerset, at 300m above sea-level. it is high up on the side of the moor. The Church itself is, as you might expect, quite small and primitive. Until recently there was no electricity on this part of Exmoor, and the church still relies on candles and fuel-stoves in the winter.

There are many rural villages and hamlet a short drive from Stoke Pero. Porlock is not far, it's a popular working Exmoor village and boasts three pubs, two grocery shops, a traditional local butcher, chemist, cash machine, petrol station, hardware shop, visitor centre, several art galleries and a range of independent restaurants, shops and tea rooms. Porlock Weir is approximately 1.5 miles on from Porlock and is well worth a visit.

Exford is in the opposite direction, is a small rural village based around a traditional village green with children play area, beside it sits the village shop and post office. Exford and the surrounding area is famous for its beautiful and unspoiled countryside making it ideal for hiking, biking, riding and fishing.
