Property code: 87919

Stylish and welcoming, this sympathetically refurbished property enjoys countryside views and a peaceful location in the heart of Exmoor National Park.

Nestling in 10,000 acres of working farmland and just 4 miles from the dramatic headlands at Woody Bay, this gorgeous detached property is perfect for small families keen to explore the park’s undulating landscapes but also enjoy the seclusion and serenity it brings. Immaculately laid out, with numerous areas to enjoy quality family time, the lodge offers a vast lawned garden, a handy boot room for outdoor essentials and cosy living areas that blend seamlessly into one another.

The lodge sits at the end of a long private lane. This is concrete until the final stretch which is then made up of stones. Expect to hear gasps of astonishment as you explore each room, which has been crafted with subtle tones and inviting soft furnishing to create a warm and comforting atmosphere. The cosy lounge is a place to snuggle and relax, not least during colder days as the wood burner roars. Sliding doors lead into the dining room, a bright and airy space made for family meals. Set up camp in the conservatory on warm summer evenings or starry nights to let the outside world paint its own canvas for you to enjoy. The patio awaits your BBQs, while the lawned garden, which covers three sides of the lodge, can be a racetrack for the children. Store muddy kit in the boot room after a walk before an invigorating shower ahead of an evening of games or films. When sleep calls, head to the double bedroom or the twin bedroom.

Miles of trails and footpaths can be picked up almost directly from the property, but if you want sand between your toes, Lee Bay, Woolacombe, Saunton, and Croyde (all within 23 miles) each offer a different coastal panorama. Woody Bay (4 miles) is a sight to behold, as are the steam trains at its eponymous heritage railway station (1.5 miles).

  • 2 bedrooms - 1 double and 1 twin zip-and-link (which can be made up as a super-king-size on request)
  • 2 bathrooms - 1 shower room with a shower and WC and 1 bathroom with shower over bath and WC
  • Oil fired Redfyre Aga, electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine
  • Travel cot and highchair available on request
  • Wood burner (logs provided)
  • Smart TV in the lounge
  • Large enclosed garden with seating area and gas BBQ
  • Ample off-road parking spaces
  • Shop 3.5 miles and pub 3 miles
  • Private water supply
  • Arrival: 16:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
  • Sorry, no dogs allowed
  • There is an Accidental Damage Deposit of £200 when booking at this property, however this may be waived for £25. We’ll provide more details about this when booking your holiday.

Fantastic holiday cottage, very warm, cosy and comfortable. Plenty of room and really well equipped kitchen. Great to have unlimited logs and kindling too. We loved the remote location and had no trouble with the drive - just take it steady. Loads of walks and mountain bike rides from the cottage plus the dramatic coast is a short drive away.
