<p><font face="Garamond" size="3">Richard and Marion Rottenbury moved to Oxenleaze
Farm in 1970 and have worked this 156 acre sheep farm on the Southern fringes
of Exmoor National Park ever since then. In 1976, they took the decision to
diversify and established Oxenleaze Farm Caravans, a small and friendly caravan
park with the accent on peace and tranquillity</font><font face="Garamond" size="3">.</font></p>
<p><font face="Garamond" size="3">They have now been joined by their son Ian,
making it a true family enterprise.</font></p>
<p><font face="Garamond" size="3"><i>"Many of our visitors return year after
year. They come to get away from it all, unwind and escape the stress and
strain of modern day living. We have gradually extended the park, but ensured
that it can never become overcrowded or 'spoilt' and, having sampled other
caravan holiday homes, we are determined to keep it exactly as our visitors
want it to be".</i></font></p>
<p> </p>
<p align="left"><font face="Garamond" size="3">The caravans are set around a
landscaped, tree-lined meadow and we have recently extended this into a 2
acre adjoining field which enjoys lovely, far-reaching views across rolling
fields.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Garamond" size="3">Our superb 6 berth Luxury and
Super Luxury caravans offer extremely good value accommodation for families
or mixed couples (no teenage or all male/female groups can be accommodated).
Being away from it all a <b>car is really essential.</b> We have no near neighbours,
just quiet leafy lanes and undulating farmland so you are sure to relax and
feel close to nature. The surroundings can truly be described as un-commercialised
and provide many opportunities to see rare birds and wild life, as well as
seeing all the farm animals in their natural environment. Don't forget to
bring your camera and binoculars!</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Garamond" size="3">We are only 10 minutes drive
from Wiveliscombe (6mls). Local shopping facilities include - a small supermarket
(open late, most days), Post Office, butchers, chemist, newsagents, Bank and
several Inns, etc.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Garamond" size="3">A popular facility at Oxenleaze
is our heated swimming pool, which is available throughout the season at no
extra charge.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Garamond" size="3">Children and non-swimmers must
be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times, so if Dad's gone fishing
for a while, what better way for the rest of the family to enjoy themselves?</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Garamond" size="3">Our Laundry Room is equipped
with all the essentials whilst on holiday and will make the "chores" seem
not so bad after all.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Garamond" size="3">A former stone barn has now been
converted into a spacious Games Room where pool and table tennis can be played
by the more energetic! A pay-phone is provided and there is plenty of local
information and maps on display.</font></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><font face="Garamond" size="3">We are open from Easter to the
end of October and sincerely look forward to welcoming you to Oxenleaze.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Garamond" size="3">Each well-equipped caravan is
always kept spotlessly clean and tidy for your arrival, with hard standing
for cars alongside each one. Colour TVs, gas cookers, 'fridges, shower rooms,
flush toilets and fitted carpets feature in all caravans. The Super Luxuries
have even more up-market furnishings. Blankets and pillows are supplied, but
please bring your own bed linen.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Garamond" size="3">There are a great variety of
things to do locally - walking, riding, sailing, sightseeing, windsurfing,
touring or trout fishing (we are close to Wimbleball Lake and Clatworthy Reservoir),
but Oxenleaze is renowned for its excellent coarse fishing, and many venture
no further than our lakes. Truly a "fisherman's paradise", the 3 lakes occupy
2 acres in a beautiful valley setting, only a short walk (500m) from your
doorstep and you can drive to within 50m.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Garamond" size="3">It is extremely well stocked
with carp, tench, roach, rudd and bream and there is no closed season. All
fish, which must be returned to the water after fishing, can be caught on
maggot casters, live maggots, bread, sweetcorn and luncheon meat. Fishing
is free to residents.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Garamond" size="3">The area all around Oxenleaze
is one of the most varied in the South West and includes the wild, heather
covered moorland of Exmoor and the Quantock Hills.</font></p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="left"><font face="Garamond" size="3">Home to an abundance of wildlife
and breathtaking scenery, it is the only area in England (the other being
Scotland) where herds of shy, red deer live in the wild. Equally cherished,
native Exmoor ponies will often be seen alongside footpaths and bridleways
throughout the National Park, which is carefully protected to preserve their
habitat.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Garamond" size="3">The rocky cliffs and bays of
North Devon contrast with seaside resorts and wide sandy beaches at Woolacombe,
Saunton Sands and Croyde Bay. There are also several National Trust properties,
gardens & castles, historic villages and thatched cottages where a real
clotted cream tea makes the perfect end to your day's exploring.</font></p>
