The Hay Loft is a charming retreat at the end of a peaceful country lane in Higher Vexford, nestled between Exmoor and the Quantock Hills. This cozy loft sleeps two in a private barn space with views over farmland. Enjoy a wood burner for snug evenings, a patio with a BBQ, free parking and fast internet. The bathroom is in a separate building, accessed via outdoor stone steps. Explore scenic trails, historic sites like Dunster Castle, and the nearby coastline for walking, cycling, and more.

I love welcoming guests to The Hay Loft and sharing this beautiful corner of Somerset with others. Living in Higher Vexford means being surrounded by peaceful countryside, historic villages, and the wild beauty of Exmoor and the Quantocks – and it’s a joy to help others experience it too. When I’m not hosting, I enjoy walking and running the local trails, exploring historic sites, and making the most of the coast nearby. I’m always happy to share tips on the best walks, cosy pubs, and hidden gems to make your stay special.

The Hay Loft sits in the peaceful hamlet of Higher Vexford, surrounded by rolling farmland and country lanes. Guests love the quiet, starry nights and the feeling of being tucked away, yet still within easy reach of so much to see and do. We’re perfectly placed between Exmoor National Park and the Quantock Hills, both ideal for walking, cycling, and wildlife spotting. The historic village of Dunster with its medieval castle, cobbled streets, and tearooms is just a short drive away, while the charming harbour town of Watchet offers coastal walks, pubs, and local history. For food and drink, there are cosy country pubs nearby, many serving local ales and hearty meals, as well as farm shops where you can pick up fresh Somerset produce. The coastline, with its dramatic cliffs and beaches, is also close by for a day of exploring. Whether you’re here for outdoor adventures, history, or simply to unwind, the neighbourhood offers the best of Somerset’s countryside and coast.
