Further Details |
When booking Emmett’s Grange and/or the Linhay guests have exclusive access to the whole 900 acre private estate during their visit. Walks, picnics or simply daming the stream are a must, and children can also try to catch some of the fish which live in the pond. You can stroll through the fields and moorland or walk the 6 miles around the boundaries of the estate. Often you can spot the red deer seen grazing on the moorland or lurking in the ‘Far Coombe;’ while in the air above you can often see a variety of rare native bird species. For the more energetic explorer you can follow the ancient drovers’ path winding up from the valley to the moor. You will be rewarded spectacular views; to the west you can view the coast and sea of Barnstaple bay and looking to the South across the green patchwork of fields and woodlands of Exmoor you can see the dark hills of Dartmoor on the far horizon.

A very comfortable and welcoming stay in a magical home and location.

This is an excellent place from where to explore Exmoor; because if the weather fails you, the house will not.
Full of history and lovely rooms, it's warmth still retains some of the sublime spirit of the moors. I love it!
Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. The landscape is simply wonderful
