Higher Roddon Farm

Luxury Rural Accommodation and Grass-fed Beef and Lamb

We have two couple’s shepherds’ huts with (what we believe to be) the best views in Somerset! We are a small working hill farm so there is plenty to see although with those views come some good hills so your thighs will see plenty of work whilst you are here! We are dog friendly although with lots of lambs and sheep around we do ask that you are respectful with your dogs and do keep an eye on the billy goat – he can sometimes be quite protective of his ladies!

Our shepherds’ huts have constant hot water, proper showers and flushing loos. The kitchen area has an electric fridge and hob. There is a wood burning stove and a very comfortable double bed – with those outstanding views over Exmoor and the Brendon hills.

We follow a grass-fed, low input, regenerative agriculture philosophy. All of our lambs are born on the farm and stay with their mothers as long as possible growing well on their mothers’ milk and our beautiful grass. All of our animals are only fed grass from the farm or hay in winter. We believe this is more sustainable, gives us a minimal carbon footprint and provides our animals with the best possible lives. Our lamb therefore is meatier and tastes fantastic with a
marbled layer of fat that adds richness to your cooking.
Available: from April
Cuts Available: Half lamb boxes, leg and
shoulder (half or whole), rack, chops and mince

Brockhole Farm

Naturally reared lamb and mutton from our Exmoor farm and processed at a local slaughterhouse, butchered in our family-run butchers’ shop in Bampton. Whole or half boxes, as well as cuts, joints and other meats cut to your requirements. All available fresh for collection or local delivery.

Boeveys Tearoom

Boeveys Tearoom
The Lyn Valley News team managed to catch up with Claire and Louise, the dynamic duo behind the newly reopened Boevey’s Tearoom, nestled in the heart of Exmoor National Park.
Their journey into the world of tearooms stemmed from a shared dream and an instant connection with the location.
“We both had the same ambition to own our own tearoom,” they said. “When we stumbled across Boevey’s, we fell in love with it.” With their shared vision, they knew they could introduce those all-important little touches that often go missing.
Choosing Simonsbath as their base wasn’t just by chance. “What is there not to love about Exmoor and its surroundings?” they enthused, clearly smitten by the lush landscape and the warmth of the community.
Boevey’s is renowned for its homemade Lemon
Drizzle cake and a range of heartwarming dishes, such as the Bacon, Brie, and Cranberry Panini, and the comforting All Day Breakfast. “Our homemade Lemon Drizzle is the most popular cake” they highlight, a testament to the care and passion baked into each slice.
The atmosphere within Boevey’s mirrors the community it serves – quaint, pretty, and incredibly welcoming. Decorated with flowered tablecloths and serving beverages in traditional china cups and teapots, the tearoom offers a slice of nostalgia with a dash of homely warmth.
A core part of their offering is the commitment to local produce, featuring Exmoor Teas, Dunster Coffee, Exmoor Ales

and Ciders, Cornish lager, and Besshill Sausages. “We use local ingredients, and this choice not only supports our community but also ensures fresh and high-quality offerings for our guests, ” they explain.
Community engagement and creating memorable experiences lie at the heart of Boevey’s ethos. From lunch on the hoof for a group of horse riders to welcoming motorcyclists for bacon baps, each story underscores the tearoom’s role as a cherished gathering spot. “Overall, the community has been incredibly welcoming and grateful that the tearoom is open
again,” they reflect, emphasising the mutual affection
between Boevey’s and its visitors.
Seasonal variations see the tearoom adapt its menu and ambiance, with offerings like quiche and soup reflecting the time of year. The upcoming addition of an ice cream freezer and a range of vegan and gluten-free cakes suggests a constant desire to innovate and
cater for all tastes.
When asked about what makes Boevey’s special, Claire and Louise point to their dedication to keeping things homemade, traditional, and welcoming for everyone. “All our menu is cooked fresh… having the bone china and loose tea keeps the tearoom traditional, ” they say, emphasising their aim to cater for all dietary requirements and go above and beyond for their customers.
As for the future, Boevey’s Tearoom is looking forward to continuing to serve the community, bringing in new and exciting developments. With their commitment to quality, hospitality, and the little touches that make a big difference, Claire and Louise have created more than just a tearoom; they’ve established a heartwarming haven for all

Exmoor Blueberries and Camping

Blueberries and Camping

The Keily family planted their thousands of blueberries back in 2006, after realising that the wild ‘wortleberries’ that used to grow in abundance on the moor, were cousins of the blueberry. The farm is at high altitude, near Dunkery Beacon, and the soil is the perfect ph level for these yummy plants. This, combined with the freshest air and purest water, makes our blueberries truly special.

Believing in a natural approach, the plants have been left to their own devices, cross pollinating across the nine plant varieties using bumblebees and butterflies, and the fields are home to all sorts of wildlife which have helped them thrive. All you need to do is come and enjoy it!

As well as blueberry picking (PYO), we offer a ‘wild’ camping experience so you can enjoy our corner of the natural world including the most beautiful clear stars! We’re located in the centre of the International Dark Sky Reserve under som eof the darkest skies in the country – it’s a great location for stargazing.
