The house sleeps 9 in 4 bedrooms, with space for two travel cots. All rooms are spacious. Upstairs, there’s a family room (double and single beds), twin room no.1, twin room no.2 with an en suite, and a shared family bathroom. Downstairs, twin room no.3 is accessed by one step from the entrance hallway. Across the hall are a large farmhouse kitchen, breakfast room, shared shower, and toilet. The dining room seats 8 to 10 people, and the spacious TV lounge has three three-person sofas. Both rooms feature wood burners.

Heating is provided by a central oil boiler, with solar PV panels supplementing hot water. Additional heating comes from two Wood Warm wood burners, with free logs for indoor use.

The farmhouse and cottages are nestled among enchanting inner and outer courtyard gardens and a play area, surrounded by meadows, an orchard, lakes, and forest. There are ample spaces for summer barbecues, outdoor fires, and activities for celebrations of any size.

In recent years, we've hosted a variety of groups, offering on-site activities such as canoeing, archery, yoga, and massage. We can also help organize off-site activities like coasteering, climbing, and cycling.

Relax and unwind in the Health Suite with an indoor hot tub and sauna, or enjoy the outdoor spa with meadow and lake views. You can also book yoga sessions (group or individual) in the yoga barn, holistic massages, or a range of other treatments.

For outdoor enthusiasts, nature trails wind through the grounds and woodland, the lakes offer Canadian canoeing sessions and coarse fishing, and cycle trails are easily accessible. A small selection of bikes is available for hire.

From Whitechapel Cottages, you can easily explore the area's attractions, including some of the best surfing beaches, the rugged beauty of Exmoor National Park, and delightful country pubs.
