Ashwick House snuggles in glorious isolation on the south eastern edge of Exmoor National Park, high above the lush tree clad valley of the tumbling River Barle.

It is a place where moorland, pasture and woodland meet.

For fugitives from work and the stresses of urban life arriving at Ashwick is like stepping into another world.
