self catering farm holiday

I have been visiting the Stephens Bros Farm (luckyard Farm) for 11 years sometimes 2-3 times per year. It is set in 300 acres of the most beautiful countryside I have ever seen in the centre of the Exmoor National Park. My children and now grand children would not want to go anywhere else and would give up anything for a week on the farm. Luckyard farm is open all year and has several holiday homes to suit all needs from a secluded cottage to recently converted barns, bunkhouse, farmhouse and caravans. There is plenty to do for all the family, children can help feed the lambs, chickens, geese, etc, collecting eggs and pony riding. Clay and Vermin Shooting is available to guests all year round as is Rough Shooting. Game Shooting is also available in season. A natural spring constantly feeds the pond which is well stocked with trout, so fishing is available to guests all year round. Dogs are welcome. Luckyard Farm is run by the three Stephens brothers, Ian, Adrian and Carlton who always appreciate a helping hand with the daily running of the farm. They are with out a doubt the friendliest family run farm I have ever come across, one added bonus is that it is a true get away from it all holiday mobile phones do not work on the farm (apart from orange) I have had to travel 10-12 miles to get a signal. Please remember just one thing I would say do not book your holiday on this or any other working farm if farming and country life is likely to offend you.
