Blindwell Bunkhouse has underfloor heating downstairs, radiators upstairs, and amazing hot showers, all from our biomass boiler. We generate electricity from our solar panels and have a Tesla power wall, for those arriving here by low-carbon electric car. Secure cycle store and drying facility help to encourage guests to arrive by totally carbon-neutral transport. Our water is from our filtered spring, and as a complete aside, this explains our name “Blindwell” as people would come here to drink the water for their eyesight.

Blindwell Bunkhouse is great for family holidays in the West Country.   Hire the whole bunkhouse for extended families, or get in touch to enquire about booking a private family room (available mid week). Our rooms are ideal for larger families with our 6 bed rooms, and families of four can stay in our 4 bed rooms.  Full self-catering is available in our modern dining kitchen.  The bunkhouse has underfloor heating and so is comfortable in all seasons. Come and see the wild ponies on Exmoor or visit the North Devon Coast. We are 14 miles from the coast and beaches for days out surfing and paddleboarding.  There are Mountain bike trails nearby and many beautiful walks.  Or just enjoy the wildlife in our secluded valley where you can spot red deer and buzzards.
