Luxury self-catering accommodation in Stawley

With the rural delights of both Devon and Somerset close to hand, Stawley makes a great base for anyone exploring the UK's beautiful South West. Exmoor's rich flora and fauna keep botanists and wildlife enthusiasts occupied; red deer and otters, butterflies and bats all live within the rivers, fields and tree-lined hedgerows, with kestrels, buzzards and peregrine spotted by eagle-eyed twitchers. There's a cheese named after the area (dense and smooth, apparently), and orchards scattered through the region, so no fear of going hungry or thirsty.

Walking in the Quantocks is one of the main pulls of this area, with many routes leading ramblers through England’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, past reservoirs, farms and big old manor houses; Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth were both inspired by the stunning landscapes here. Families can head to Tropiquaria Wildlife Park, a short drive north of Stawley and a must for fun days out, with two life-sized pirate ships, a Tropical Hall, and animals of course.
