About Doccombe

Great Doccombe Farm is equidistant and only 3 miles from 2 lovely villages, Moretonhampstead and Dunsford. The historic market town of Moretonhampstead (Gateway to the High Moors) has a full range of facilities including 4 pubs, 2 tea rooms, butchers, deli, take away, swimming pool, hospital, post office and Co-op store.

Dunsford Webb has a village shop with post office, a pub with truly fantastic fish and chip speciality nights, and a garden tearoom serving a wonderful range of homemade meals and cakes.

Mardon Down overlooks Doccombe and is reached within 5 mins by walking up the lane directly in front of our farm. Once up there it is possible to walk for miles and marvel at the panoramic views across to Exmoor in the north and Dartmoor to the south and west. Stand in the centre of the largest stone circle on Dartmoor, and look across to Haytor and Hound Tor on the horizon. Dogs love it!

We are 12 miles from the M5 motorway. Exeter is 10 miles, the coast 14 miles and therefore are an ideal holiday base for touring, walking, riding, cycling and fishing. Visit National Trust Castle Drogo, the high moor, Lydford Gorge many quaint towns and Buckfast Abbey.
