Middle Stone Farm

About

Set in beautiful rolling countryside by the village of Brompton Ralph just a few miles outside Exmoor National Park, award winning Middle Stone Farm offers 6 luxurious family size glamping lodges, a bespoke wooden cabin and self catering cottage.  Each accommodation has its own private hot tub, wood burning stove and private bathroom. 

The large safari lodges (3 lodges in two separate fields) come lovingly furnished with comfortable sofas, dining tables and proper beds with crisp white sheets.  The private bathrooms are at the end of each lodge with hot showers and proper loos.  Each lodge has a spacious kitchen equipped with an electric fridge/freezer, LED lighting, a large wood burning stove with an oven - a bit like an Aga to cook on and all the crockery and pans you need to make delicious meals.  All the bedlinen, towels and firewood for the stoves is provided.

The beautifully appointed lodges each feature outdoor decking so you can enjoy sunsets overlooking the hills or stargaze at night.  Each lodge has a private wood fired hot tub, barbecue area, hammock and picnic table.  Three of the lodges are in a field which looks towards the Quantock Hills. The other three are in a neighbouring field looking towards Exmoor.  There is a play area with swings and a climbing frame for visiting children and a gazebo for groups who wish to eat together. 

A well behaved dog is welcome to stay in three of the lodges outside of the school holidays.

The farm’s shop is well stocked with local products, beer, cider and wine as well as meat and vegetables from the farm and lots of other useful essentials.

The self catering Stable Cottage is near the farmhouse and comfortably sleeps up to four people in a king bedroom at one end of the cottage and a twin room at the other.  The ground level building has high beamed ceilings and an open plan kitchen and sitting room with a wood burner. The kitchen has a dishwasher, microwave, double oven, fridge/freezer and coffee machine.  The patio garden is accessed through the twin bedroom and has a rattan dining set and wood fired hot tub.  There is central heating and WiFi in the cottage. A well behaved dog may also stay outside of the school holidays.

The Deckhouse is a quirky and colourful wooden cabin. It sleeps a couple and two children in a king room and a bunk room.  There is a shower room off the open plan sitting room and kitchen. It is extremely well insulted, cool in summer and easily kept warm in the winter by the log burning stove in the living room. Outside it has its own wood fired hot tub along with picnic table, barbecue and hammock.  It is not overlooked and a good choice for guests seeking privacy as the only neighbours are the farm animals! 

The Stable Cottage and Deckhouse Cabin are open all year round and the Safari Lodges are open from March to the end of October.

Middle Stone Farm is a 32 acre working certified organic farm with plenty of friendly animals - expect to see rare breed Large Black Devon pigs, Exmoor and Jacob sheep, curious alpaca, lots of free range chickens and geese.  Weekly farm tours are offered to visiting children during the school holidays. 

Although the farm is in a very rural area right off the beaten track Taunton and the M5 are within easy reach.  The lanes are quiet here even in the high summer and the closest beaches are never very busy.
