Farmed continuously for over a thousand years Kerscott is mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086) The present house is 'L' shaped and dates from early 15th century with parts from an earlier period, full of beams, sloping floors, a branch staircase and many other original features. Once thatched the house is now under slate and still retains it original walled cottage garden and cobblestone paths. |
Breakfast can be a hearty farm meal to set you up for the day or a lesser one, the choice is yours. By prior arrangement a delicious three course evening meal is available. Home farm produced meat and sausages, eggs from our free range hens are used along with locally grown vegetables. Savour marmalade made in the farm kitchen and home baked bread for your breakfast toast. |

A further delight for you to anticipate is that over the centuries Kerscott has always been served by its own springs and wells and has never received piped water. Tried, tested and pure there is no better better stock for cooking or your thirst.
The relaxing and restful peace and quiet at Kerscott is also assured as accommodation is only provided in three bedrooms for couples and therefore the house is never crowded. The bedrooms are all en suite, very comfortable and have outstanding views of Exmoor. |

Kerscott is a traditional livestock farm producing first quality beef and lamb. Indigenous breeds are kept, namely a large flock of Exmoor Horn sheep and a few black face Suffolk sheep and a pedigree herd of Devon Red Ruby cattle. For the farm kitchen we also rear our own pork.
In its central position on the edge of Exmoor National Park, Kerscott is ideally located for exploring this tranquil and truly rural part of England.
