With autumn evenings the Xanadu shepherds hut really comes into its own.
🍂🍂🍂
Autumn vibes and cozy nights. Snuggle up and listen to the wind Outside and Benefit from underfloor heating and a wood burner inside.
🍂🍂🍂
Watch the scenery changing in front of you, it’s just like sitting in the middle of nature and you can sometimes watch the deer from bedroom window.
🌈🌈🌈
It’s still warm enough to sit outside and stargaze and watch beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Overlooking the sea where mist rolls in over the fields and the bay of rainbows lives up to its name.
✨✨✨
A perfect place in the quiet to recharge in the Exmoor countryside with all this beauty.
☀️☀️☀️
We still have availability for October.

I had a little visit to stoke pero church which is one of the churches on The Porlock Pilgrim’s Trail.

⛪️🔔

It’s the highest and most isolated church on exmoor and is so atmospheric. I could hear the wind whirling and whistling up through the floor and feel the vibrations my core and the echoing sent shivers.

There’s Some very interesting stories about this hamlet and parish and all the other churches on this 29 mile route. The pilgrims trail links nine of Exmoor’s churches and chapels.

Our shepherds hut sits in One of the most secluded corners of Exmoor. Where you can relax in privacy with very little road noise and no neighbors. Just rolling fields and a view straight out over the bay. The smallest church of culbone is a short walk through the woods, As is the south west coast path and the Coleridge way. We do have a couple vacancies still for August if this sounds like a way you would like to enjoy the summer. A treat or a last minute break, or even book now for the autumn. All seasons are breathtaking on exmoor.

You still have a few days left to enter, and what better place to stay for inspiration then here at Parsonage Farm. The Parsonage plays a pivotal role in Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s story, it is reputed he was staying here when he wrote Kubla Khan and was inspired by our landscape, the whole area has a strong connection to The Romanticism era and the Parsonage sits in the heart of it. There are many other literary connections close by.
