Lovely cottage in a very central area for exploring Exmoor and the North Devon and Somerset coast lines. All you can hear is bird song and the bleating of lambs, with wonderful views in all directions. Perfect tranquility.

Great location with breathtakingly beautiful walks from the door. Peaceful - away from the hustle and bustle - but easily accessible straight from the A39. You wouldn’t know there was an A road anywhere near.

The location is superb with easy access to Lynton and Lynmouth or Porlock, Dunster and Horner Woods.
