Wake to the sound of birdsong, sip coffee on the deck as deer pass through the trees, and end the day in your own private spa-like sanctuary. This is a place to truly unwind — no traffic, no schedules, just the calm rhythm of the countryside.
The Nest has been designed to encourage guests to kick back and do very little but for those looking to explore beyond the farm, civilisation and adventure are not far away.
Down Farm is a 15 minute drive from the stunning Exmoor National Park or 50 minutes from the stunning North Devon coast. The charming villages of Bampton and Dulverton with independent shops for exploring and cafes and pubs for indulging are a 10 minute and 20 minute drive away.

Perfect for our young family
We had a wonderful stay at The Nest, perfect for our young family (6yo & 4yo). They loved seeing wildlife through the window in the field below us including a pheasant and a pouncing fox! The cabin is very well thought out and designed, the kids loved the bunk beds. We've stayed in a few different glamping places and this has been our favourites, it felt incredibly rural but not compromising on comfort and ease. We will have to come back in the summer when we can enjoy the outdoor seating and hopefully some clear nights for stargazing!

Fantastic!
Our stay at the Nest was fantastic, it was well hidden in the hills of Exmoor which meant it was super peaceful with little to no noise other than that of nature and a few rumbling tractors. It's possibly the quietest Canopy & Stars place we have stayed at yet! The driveway was a little wild, but we did go in a silly vehicle so we are partly to blame there. The place was absolutely stunning and finished to a really high quality. The hot tub was excellent, the outside seating area was beautiful and the land in which it's set on is just incredible! The pathways and walkways around the land were well kept, whilst leaving everything else to be wild, so it was great for exploring! Absolutely zero complaints other than the late check in and early departure times, as it would have been awesome to have had a morning dip before heading off again! I'd 100% recommend this place if you are looking to be submerged in nature and relax as much as possible! Full modern amenities such as power and fast internet were great, but also meant we probably used technology more than we should have whilst trying to unwind. If only we had more self control not to use it! We loved this place!

A perfect autumn retreat
The Nest is a stunning property that offers impeccable views over the Exe Valley and is a cosy haven offering pure relaxation amongst the many woodland creatures. We had many neighbours (pheasants) walking and flying around The Nest and were surrounded by nature at all times, simply blissful. Claire was communicative and offered Yoga (which I unfortunately didn’t take her up on). She also left a delightful chocolate cake as she knew my husband and I were there for my birthday. We ordered a taxi on our middle night as we booked a meal at Spelt in Bampton (highly recommended). We used Frankies taxis as it was the only taxi firm that was available for evening bookings. If you like your vino, head to Corks & Cru, where you can sample the wines in the comfy wine bar towards the back of the shop. All in all, a wonderful cosy stay in the most idyllic spot.

Stayed at The nest for the first time. Absolutely beautiful. The views were incredible, the cabin was cosy and had everything we needed. Hot tube was already on and hot when we arrived. Host was wonderful and helped me make the weekend special for my husband. Loved waking up looking out of the big window in the bedroom at the view ( and pheasants). Would recommend
