About The Lazy Sheep Barn

The Lazy Sheep Barn is a stunning 5-bedroom luxury lodge set in its own 60-acre valley near Exebridge, on the North Devon/Somerset border. This exceptional property offers complete privacy with breathtaking countryside views and enough space for the whole gang to spread out. Want to feel like you're in a posh movie set? This place has that vibe without trying too hard.

Surrounded by rolling hills and woodland, this rural retreat sits in Exmoor's gorgeous landscape. You'll have your own wild swimming lake with jetty, a 3-hole pitch and putt golf course and extensive gardens.

One super-king bedroom sits on the ground floor (convertible to twins), while upstairs offers a king-size, a twin (convertible to triple), another king and a double. The spacious kitchen-diner features bi-fold doors, two fridges and wine cooler - because one fridge is never enough for a proper holiday, right?

Nearby attractions include Minehead (15 miles), Dunster with its magnificent castle (20 minute drive), Exmoor National Park's walking trails (on your doorstep) and Tarr Steps ancient clapper bridge (6 miles). After exploring, soak in your private hot tub with a glass of something cold while watching the sunset over your personal valley.

As a multi generational family, we all loved our week here. We really enjoyed the way the inside and outside spaces merged, with the wonderful view from the terrace. Summer arrived as our week started and we spent most of the week at the property - there is so much outside space. Our grandchildren (9, 9, 12) went to the lake to paddle board each daRead morey and they loved the games room too. We walked up to the stag sculpture, lounged in the hot tub and spotted a kingfisher at the lake. Hard to beat! Hide

The Lazy Sheep Barn is a magical place - beautifully set in the rolling hills with wonderful views. An amazing lake - and, of course the stag!

An outstanding location within a beautifully converted barn. As a multi-generational holiday, it worked perfectly.

We loved the living and dining areas to socialise in and had everything we need to cook for the nine of us in the kitchen. The outside space is fant astic even in the winter. We used the hot tub and walked up to see the stag on the hill, and are already talking about coming back. Thanks so much!

Josie

Lovely cosy holiday home, beautiful surroundings and attentive hosts! Very comfy beds too! A great place for four generations to holiday together

Kevin

The cottage is the stuff of dreams. When you walk in, you are welcomed with two bottles of Prosecco and milk. Each room offers each person a little gift which I will not reveal to potential vacationers. The host, Hayley, is extremely attentive to detail and is a wonderful host. We will be recommending this holiday to our friends in Hong Kong and el sewhere. If you enjoy outdoor activities such as golf, walks, alfresco dining, hot tubs etc, then this is the place for you and friends.

Mikila

Beautiful, just perfect.

Matthew

My group of three couples are all old friends and each year we book a cottage for a week at the beginning of December for a pre christmas break before we are all descended on by families. We have pretty specific requirements; ensuit bedrooms, a log burner and seating in lounge for all couples. A good kitchen as we all like to cook for each other. A spa and most of all a great location which is dog friendly. The Lazy Sheep has it all. I think we will be back!

Andrea

A fantastic accomodation for a multi generation family gathering. Everyone had a great time. Would definitely return to this property.
