Situated a quick 5 minutes walk from the village centre Monks Cleeve looks out across Exford and has stunning views across to open fields and moorland. Quiet and comforatable, a delightful home from home experience. All rooms are en suite and two have both a bath and a shower. Set within 4 acres, there is room to walk around our fields or just sit in the garden and watch the horses or chickens. Having lived in the area for over 10 years we have an excellent knowledge of all the local areas to visit and see
