Local area
Sometimes you can watch Red Deer on Exmoor from the comfort of the apartment or, better still take a short walk and view them at closer quarters. In the autumn we often hear the stags rutting; all year round hardy Exmoor Ponies can be seen on the moor and majestic buzzards wheeling above you.

The self catering apartment is situated in a beautiful part of the Exmoor National Park and is in an ideal location from which to explore the extraordinary beauty and variety of the Exmoor landscape. Become acquainted with the stunning coastline between Minehead and Combe Martin, where Exmoor dives steeply into the sea; the brooding, wild, open moorland areas of Dunkery Hill, Winsford Hill and Brendon Common; the beautiful and ancient oak woodlands at Cloutsham; the historic clapper bridge at Tarr Steps, and the packhorse bridges at Allerford and Dunster and of course the chocolate box villages of Dunster, Winsford, Allerford, Selworthy, Bossington and Oare.

Arrival and departure
The property will be ready from 4 pm on the day of your arrival. Please depart by 10 am on the last day of your stay. Please leave the property clean and tidy so that we can guarantee it will be ready on time for our next guests.

A perfect break

This is a beautifully situated cottage on the outskirts of the village. Perfect for walking either directly from the cottage or in the locality where there is such a varied landscape. The owners were very friendly and the cottage very clean and comfortable. This was our second visit and we look forward to returning.

Very Good Apartment

Very good apartment set in the rolling hills of Exmoor but only 5 miles from Minehead & its facilities. Equipped with everything you need including milk, teabags & biscuits to start you off! The only downside was the mattress was very hard & uncomfortable making sleep diffilcult.
Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024

The whole holiday experience was perfect for us as walkers with the property situated in an outstanding area and footpaths leading in all directions. It's so peaceful but also not far from the coastal attractions. The accommodation was exceptionally well equipped and comfortable with a private garden area (plus orchard) complete with a wonderful view of Dunkery Hill. The owners were extremely helpful and made us very welcome. We'll be back next year!

Very spacious, very well equipped, very clean. Extremely comfortable for just two people, lots of room. Particularly liked the tack room, the garden, the orchard, the reserved parking and the sky view. Karen and Keith are very friendly and live next door, so if there had been any problem help would have been to hand. We had a really good time staying there and hope to return.
