Overview

Bees Knees is a beautifully refurbished barn in the heart of Exmoor National Park with a bright and welcoming interior which includes an open plan layout in the living area, kitchen and dining space. Upstairs there are two lovely bedrooms – a double with a king size bed and access to the patio area outside, and a comfortable twin with plenty of storage.

The family bathroom is also on this floor and has a bathtub and shower over, while a cloakroom can be found downstairs on the ground floor. Outside to the front of the cottage, you’ll discover a beautiful garden with a table, chairs and BBQ where you can enjoy a glass of bubbly in the sunshine or a fabulous meal in the fresh air. A shared orchard offers stunning views across the landscape, and here you can enjoy a walk, picnic or a nap under the shade of a tree.

Guests are invited to roam the farm and explore. There are footpaths that go through the farmland as well including the lost village of Clicket in the valley which was last inhabited just over 100 years ago.

Reviews

A real home from home
5/5

Allercott Farm is a beautiful location to holiday and Bees Knees Cottage was the perfect place to stay. We had everything we needed for a really relaxing break. The cottage was beautifully clean and was set up like a real family home, even having some dvds and games. We were made to feel very welcome by our hosts and the icing on the cake, for us, was their beautiful, friendly dogs!
