tenderness. Our sheep graze regenerativelymanaged pasture ensuring they stay healthy with

Exmoor Distillery Ltd

At Exmoor Distillery, we produce exceptional spirits from raw materials with passion, place and purpose. Nestled on the southern gateway to the breathtaking Exmoor National Park in Dulverton, Somerset, our independent, family-run distillery crafts premium gins, rums and vodka that capture the wild beauty of the South West and reflect our commitment to quality over quantity.

Founded in 2017 by John and Nicola Smith, Exmoor Distillery grew from a lifelong dream shared over three decades of travel, conversation and a mutual love for fine spirits. After years of sampling the world’s finest spirits, they realised there was something missing — a spirit that married exceptional craftsmanship with a true sense of place. That realisation sparked a bold ambition: to create spirits that could rival the best in the world, yet be unmistakably rooted in the rugged landscape they call home.

Our distillery is deeply connected to the land. We draw pure water from the Exmoor Aquifer, a unique local source, and use it throughout fermentation, distillation and proofing to give our spirits a distinctly smooth and natural profile — an authentic expression you won’t find anywhere else.

Craftsmanship with a Personal Touch

At the heart of Exmoor Distillery is true artisan craft. Each spirit is meticulously produced on-site, with traditional hand-made care matched with a modern distillation precision. This attention to detail means every bottle leaving our facility embodies our exacting standards — from carefully selected botanicals in our gins to the rich, flavour-forward barrels in our rum production.

Our flagship Northmoor Gin — sets the tone for what we do: vibrant, aromatic spirits with complex yet balanced character. Since then, we’ve expanded our repertoire to include several expressions, from Navy strength gins to barrel-aged rums and smooth botanical vodka, each showcasing our commitment to innovation without compromise.

Awards and Recognition

Our spirits have earned international acclaim, including prestigious accolades at competitions such as the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, where our gins have taken home both gold and double gold medals. These honours are testament not only to our craft but to the dedication and passion we pour into every stage of production.

A Warm Welcome

Exmoor Distillery is more than a producer of fine spirits — it’s a destination. We welcome visitors year-round for tours and tastings, sharing the story behind each bottle and offering a behind-the-scenes look at how our spirits come to life. Whether you’re exploring Exmoor or simply appreciate artisan craft spirits, a visit offers a warm welcome and an unforgettable experience.

Our Promise

From the first sip to the final drop, our promise is to deliver spirits that reflect excellence and authenticity.

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.

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.

marbled layer of fat that adds richness to your cooking.

shoulder (half or whole), rack, chops and mince

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

Elsworthy – the Hill farm Experience

Discover farm regeneration on the hills of Exmoor.

Learn how a hill farm can adapt to climate change through farming practices that respect both nature and animals.

A family hill farm at the door of Exmoor National Park which started in 2005 with traditional and very friendly English Longhorns. A great place to discover a different way of farming with animals, during your visit on Exmoor.

Elsworthy farm is an educational place to learn about regenerative farming and cattle whispering.

Climate issues have taken the world by storm, but here regeneration has taken on a gentle life of its own: hedges are looking a little less geometrical, fields go back to medieval times with their funny shapes cut out of the original dense Exmoor forest.

At Elsworthy, animal welfare is at the core of our work and we have tried and developed a different way based on Rosamund Young’s idea of cattle families. The Longhorn families remain in their natural grouping. They are allowed to roam areas they chose to. Amazing things happen as a result.

Higher Hall Farm

We sell our organic home-grown lamb and ruby red beef direct from the farm in the foothills of Exmoor and the official boundary stone is at the end of the farm lane. We rear native breeds (Devon Closewool lamb) and everything is born on the family farm.
