Lorna Doone Farm Cafe & B&B

The smell of bacon drifts from the farmhouse kitchen before you've even unzipped your pod — proper west-country mornings start here.

This working farm on the edge of Exmoor offers a handful of camping pods alongside traditional B&B rooms, so it suits couples after a cosy bolt-hole or small families who want a roof but still that camping feeling. You're in Lorna Doone country — all high moorland, deep combes, and red deer — with the kind of cafe that does a full English you'll remember and home baking that stops walkers in their tracks. The mix of pod campers and B&B guests gives the place a friendly, chatty atmosphere without being crowded.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so ask when you book about showers and electric hook-ups if you're podding it. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, and campfires need checking on arrival — they're farming here, so it depends on the season and ground conditions. Open all year, which makes it a good shout for an off-season Exmoor escape when the moor's moody and the cafe's even more appealing.
