There is a camping shop at Burrowhayes Farm which is approx 200 metres down the road, useful for any forgotten items or last minute supplies. Burrowhayes Farm also have ponies and horses for hire; they organise escorted rides in the glorious Horner Valley and on the open moorland of Dunkery, Ley Hill and Selworthy so everyone can enjoy to the full the beauty of Exmoor with the added thrill of being on horseback. Small children's ponies are available for parents to walk and lead as well.
The village of Porlock is approximately 1 mile from Farm Cottage and boasts three pubs, two grocery shops, a traditional local butcher, chemist, cash machine, hardware shop, visitor centre and a range of independent restaurants, shops and tea rooms.
