About Us

Children playing in the riverSituated in the glorious Horner Valley with a view of Dunkery Beacon, Burrowhayes Farm is in the heart of the Exmoor National Park and provides a central position for touring the whole of Exmoor with wooded valleys, streams, hills and magnificent coastal scenery.

The Dascombe family were dairy farmers on this National Trust Farm until the 1960’s when they took the opportunity of creating what soon became a popular family Caravan & Camping Site. 

Today, Julian & Marion continue to offer a warm welcome to visitors and do all they can to meet the ever changing and modern demands without spoiling  the old charm and natural beauty for which Burrowhayes is renowned.

A Walkers Paradise

The car is easily forgotten with so many walks leading directly into the woods and onto open moorland where Red Deer and all kinds of wildlife can be seen.  Stretches of the scenic South West Coast Path are easily accessible.

Children spend hours playing in the stream and exploring the woods, if not watching the ponies or challenging each other to a variety of games.
