Holiday Rental Description

Situated down a 0.5 mile track into the heart of the forestry, within Exmoor National Park, this farmhouse provides guests with tranquil surroundings in every direction. Feel the crackle of twigs beneath your feet with a choice of public woodland paths from your doorstep, or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings and flow of the river. There is ample opportunity to explore local beaches and hidden coves, including those at Lee Bay and Woody Bay, whilst the wide stretch of sand at Woolacombe is just 18 miles away.

Situated just off this area is the conservatory, which is the perfect spot to relax and read a book. Pass on through the beautiful lobby area into the spacious lounge/diner. Here guests can relax with ease in front of the wood burner and Smart TV, enjoy a movie together or have a family games night sat around the dining table.
