Horner Cottage, Luccombe in Luccombe, Somerset

Description
Horner Cottage is a delightful one bedroom property nestled at the foot of Dunkery, in the beautiful National Trust village of Luccombe. Situated in the heart of Exmoor National Park, yet also just 2 miles from the coast, the building was originally constructed to be the coach house for the next door Manor House. As such, it is set within the beautiful grounds of the Manor, which itself was the original rectory for the village’s 14th century church. Now converted into a pair of light, airy, well-equipped, and extremely comfortable holiday cottages (next door Luccombe Cottage sleeps up to 4 people), Horner Cottage is ideally suited to couples looking for a tranquil and picturesque getaway, and for walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers alike.

1 bedroom (one large first floor double attached to bathroom with bath/shower over, toilet, and hand basin)
Modern, well-equipped ground floor kitchen with cooker, fridge, freezer, microwave, toaster, plus broad range of cooking equipment, pots and pans, and crockery/cutlery/glassware
Spacious ground floor sitting room with dining table and electric wood burner

Wifi, central heating, and electricity included in cost
Up to two dogs welcome (supplement of £15 per dog)
Beautiful grounds with a fantastic array of magnificent trees, including some of England's oldest and largest—a horticulturist's dream!

Facilities
The cottage is fitted with central heating throughout. There is also an 'electric wood-burner' in the sitting room. Heating, electricity and wifi are all included in the price of the accommodation.

Bed linen and towels are provided, but please bring your own beach towels if you wish to take them on day trips.

The kitchen is well-equipped with a broad range of cooking equipment, pots and pans as well as crockery/cutlery/glassware.

The water supply comes from a local natural spring.

Please note that there are no food or drink items in the welcome pack.

As with much of Exmoor, mobile phone reception in the cottage is very poor. However, if you turn ‘WiFi Calling’ on on your mobile you will be able to make/receive calls/texts over the cottage WiFi - you can often find this tab under Settings and then Phone, or alternatively contact your service provider and ask them to activate it.

Location
Nestling at the foot of Dunkery Beacon, the highest point on Exmoor, in the Vale of Porlock, Luccombe is a wonderfully picturesque National Trust village that is mentioned in the Domesday Book and was recently voted one of Englands prettiest villages! It's approximately 4 miles from Minehead and 2 miles from Porlock. Luccombe is an ideal spot for those looking for a quiet escape. Luccombe is sited approx 1.5 miles off the Minehead to Porlock road down a small country lane, which adds to its tranquillity. The nearest shops and pubs are in Porlock, a couple of miles away.
