Description
Nethercote Byre offers a peaceful hideaway in the heart of Exmoor, tucked well away from the usual routes and delivering that rare thing – real tranquillity.
Once a large U-shaped barn, it’s now a characterful retreat that retains the easy charm of its agricultural past, with natural materials, generous spaces and a sense that life moves at a gentler pace here.
The main living room is a bright, open space where wooden floors, original artwork and sturdy timber create a grounded, welcoming feel.
A woodburning stove anchors the room, perfect for gathering after a day on the moor, while two sets of sliding doors open onto the courtyard for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
A second sitting room doubles as a playroom, complete with table football and a jigsaw table – ideal for children when the weather turns.
Four bedrooms – one super-king and three twins – are set at either end of the property for privacy, with two shared bathrooms keeping things simple.
Everything centres around a private courtyard, a lovely spot for morning coffee, evening drinks or just listening to birdsong.
Guests are welcome to roam the owner’s surrounding land, adding to the sense of freedom.
Exmoor’s walking trails start close by, offering everything from gentle riverside strolls to climbs with sweeping views.
Winsford and Exford are a short drive for classic village inns serving hearty meals, while Dulverton and Bampton provide cafés and independent shops for easy afternoons out.
Wimbleball Lake is nearby for kayaking, paddleboarding or shoreline walks, and fly-fishing tuition is available in Exebridge.
If you’re looking for a place that feels genuinely removed from the rush yet close to Exmoor’s best bits, Nethercote Byre delivers – a proper getaway with space to breathe, explore and switch off.

What guests are saying
Lovely conversion, nestled in the middle of a stunning valley miles from anywhere.
Walks in every direction to local villages so no need to take out the car. A very peaceful and comfortable week spent in the country.
Nethercote Brye is a lovely cottage, very peaceful area.
Cottage was accessed up a gravel drive which took approximately 10 mins to property from main road Barn conversion with 2 bedrooms either end with own bathrooms Living room was comfortable Kitchen had all amenities Dawn the host was very helpful, friendly and available if needed We would definitely stay again
I hate to give 5* for here, but only because I want to keep it a secret, just for us !
We've now been here 3 times and will be back for more. The location is fantastic - just birds, cows and sheep breaking the silence. The accommodation is also fantastic and homely. Thank you to Dawn for being so helpful and for getting it all ready for our arrival. Thank you S&J for letting us stay.. We just love it and always hate to leave ..
