Property code: 51770

This charming property sleeps four guests and two dogs. Right in the heart of Exmoor, you can escape the humdrum of everyday life and soak up the breathtaking views across open fields. In every direction you’ll find interesting walks, with plenty for your furry companions to sniff and explore, and you’ll be within easy reach of some of Exmoor’s finest attractions, such as Tarr Steps and Dunster, as well as the picturesque villages of Lynton and Lynmouth.

On a cool night you can get cosy in the lounge, and the dogs can doze in front of the wood burner. Or, on a summer’s evening, throw open the stable door and take in the far-reaching views. There are two steps down to the kitchen/diner, where you can all sit around the table to plan your day’s adventures. Hard floors throughout downstairs make cleaning up pawprints easy. Outside, there’s a beautiful enclosed garden and you’ll also find a decked area with seating, to sit back and relax after a day on the moor. There’s an outdoor hose and sink for washing muddy paws and, should you need it, a kennel and run.

You’ll not be disappointed by the amount on offer nearby. Just 9 miles away, in Minehead, you can pick up the beginning of the 630-mile South West Coast Path. The section from Minehead towards Porlock takes you through fascinating woodlands, cliffs and farm tracks. After a long walk, take a welcome rest in The Old Ship Aground, which boasts fabulous views across Minehead harbour. The historic village of Dunster (8.6 miles away) also makes a great day out. Your furry friends are welcome in the grounds of the castle and there are some wonderful dog-friendly eateries, including The Stags Head Inn.

A completely idyllic location in the heart of Exmoor. Beautiful views from the property and so close to Dunkery Beacon.

Good to have the owner (& another holiday cottage) nearby but private space. Cottage comfortable & well maintained. Hide

Our second visit to this lovely, peaceful location with amazing views - also lucky with the weather & able to sit outside in the decking! There were some good walks from the door, so nice not to drive, and dogs and ducks kept us amused! Will definitely return again - thank you.

Lovely cottage. Great location for walking with loads of routes to take. We particularly liked the decking area at the back of the cottage to relax in the late afternoon/evening son. We were grateful of the enclosed garden for the dogs, there were a couple of paddocks to walk the dogs, but they were a bit steep. We will definitely look at returningRead more. Hide

Comfortable, clean and relaxingly rural. The cottage is very clean, the decoration and quality is very good and the rural position, in a lovely valley, is so relaxing. I especially loved the decking area overlooking the garden - it caught the afternoon sun and was perfect for chilling out. The cottage is very well positioned for access to both the Read moremoor and local towns/villages. The owner was very helpful with a couple of questions we had. I am looking forward to arranging a return stay. Hide
