  Streamcombe Farmthe gourmet bed and breakfast 01398 323775  Luxury accommodation and contemporary dining in a converted stone barn annexe close to Dulverton and Exmoor National Park.  RETREAT AND RELAXOnly 2.5miles from Dulverton, set in its own secluded valley down a half mile track and surrounded by woods and fields, Streamcombe has a rare peace and tranquility rarely experienced. A unique place, situated on the borders of Somerset, Devon and Exmoor National Park. Exmoor is a truly beautiful part of England, and remains somewhat unknown and off the beaten track. Home to wild ponies, red deer and birds of prey, Exmoor provides walkers and cyclists a remote haven to enjoy real open spaces, wildlife and wonderful scenery.  UNWINDThere are three beautiful double rooms all with contemporary ensuite bathrooms, Egyptian cotton towels, Turkish bedlinen and luxury toiletries. The guest sitting room and conservatory provide ample space to relax and enjoy your stay. A log fire in the lounge creates a lovely atmosphere for the colder months, whilst the garden provides numerous picnic spots and hidden areas for reading or strolling in the summer.  Our food is part of what will make your stay at Streamcombe so special. Breakfasts can be as traditional or as unusual as you like - featuring the finest local sausages and bacon, eggs from our own hens, toasted sourdough bread, homemade jam, and in the summer, raspberries from our garden made into a delicious smoothie or added to your breakfast pancakes, dripping with maple syrup for a special treat.  The best local, seasonal and wild ingredients feature in our tempting, modern menus created and prepared for you by resident chef Ian Jarmarkier. Ian`s outstanding knowledge and passion for food is evident in every dish and he is always on hand to share that knowledge with you. COOKERY COURSES For those of you feeling inspired, we will shortly be publishing dates for our autumn 2010 cookery course programme.
