About the host
Hosted by Wills Virgo
The Garner family did a life change in 2000, moving from Oxfordshire to Exmoor to run this small holiday complex in this unique picturesque National trust village of Allerford.
Our two young children were 3yrs & 6yrs 20 years on the girls have flown from the Pack horse nest, Brian and I still love welcoming guests to this very special part of Exmoor a real gem just of the beaten track but a little peace of England at its best.
