    “Exford is a good location for a base to explore Exmoor and the nearby coast and the cottage is great for a family group - in our case 3 mature couples.”

    Downstairs the kitchen is large and extremely well equipped and the lounge has plenty of space for relaxing in the evening. The beds upstairs were comfortable and it worked well having 2 ensuites and a separate bathroom for the 3rd bedroom. Despite the instructions from the owners we struggled to find the cottage the first time : a sign saying Greenslades as you approach the fork in the road would be helpful as you can't see the house sign until you've driven past the turning into the drive ...

Despite the instructions from the owners we struggled to find the cottage the first time : a sign saying Greenslades as you approach the fork in the road would be helpful as you can't see the house sign until you've driven past the turning into the drive! The owners have provided a really detailed file about the house and the area (best we've ever seen) and the fresh milk and home made cake on arrival were very welcome.

The property

This delightful, detached house is ideally situated on the outskirts of the village of Exford, in the heart of Exmoor, in North Somerset.

Perfect for those looking to enjoy country pursuits or a quiet rural retreat, this cottage provides a welcoming holiday home with a wealth of character throughout.

Features, including two woodburners, one in a feature fireplace, and ceiling beams, seamlessly combine with modern touches such as the range cooker, Smart TV and WiFi access, to provide high quality accommodation.

The homely dining kitchen is a warm and cosy place to get-together for a hearty meal of local Somerset produce; after a day out and about exploring the area and buying some delicious ingredients for your evening meal, relax and enjoy each other's company by the glow of the woodburner as you tuck in, and afterwards, retire to the sitting room, where the second toasty woodburner will keep you warm and comfortable well into the evening.

Flexible sleeping arrangements across the four bedrooms mean that a variety of parties can be accommodated, and with two bedrooms boasting en-suite bathrooms, there is an added touch of luxury.

Outside, a lovely lawned garden with patio, furniture and BBQ provide somewhere to sit and unwind after a long walk on Exmoor, plus it's a perfect space for children to let off some steam before bed.

The house is on a hill and there are a few steps down from the drive to the back door of the house.

With a host of walks, cycle paths and horse riding options on the doorstep, as well as the Exmoor National Park, surrounding in all directions and spanning across Devon and Somerset, you don't have to look far for a new countryside pursuit each day.

Whether you're looking for an active holiday or a peaceful one, this cottage makes the ideal base.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

EXFORD

Dulverton 10 miles; Minehead 12 miles; Barnstaple 21 miles.

The picturesque village of Exford is situated in the heart of the Exmoor National Park. In a lovely setting by the River Exe, Exford boasts a village green, tea rooms, a shop, Post Office and two traditional inns serving excellent food and drinks. Exford is at the centre of a walkers' paradise with many miles of waymarked paths down the Exe and River Barle valleys and up to the nearby hills, including Dunkery Beacon, the highest point on Exmoor, with outstanding views over 7 counties. Exford is renowned for fishing and riding, with the village hosting a horse show every August. The largest herd of wild red deer in England and Exmoor’s unique wild ponies roam the moors just above and around Exford, as they have done since the time of the Domesday Book. Guided walks with a National Park Ranger take place throughout the summer, and Exmoor is home to Lorna Doone and Tarka the otter, it is a place of rolling hills, medieval villages, such as Dunster with its castle, wild moors and a dramatic coastline. The coastal towns of Lynmouth, Porlock and Minehead are only a short drive from Exford and there are a variety of beaches along the coast, consisting of sandy and shingle beaches, plus some are ideal for surfing and body boarding. In 2011 Exmoor National Park was designated an International Dark Sky Reserve, the first place in Europe to achieve this prestigious award and only the second in the world.
