The walks are mainly off road and a wide variety of wildlife can be seen, from the wild red deer that Exmoor is famous for, to the tiny but vibrant kingfisher. On the estate there are 2 spring fed lakes; these have a population of wild brown trout. Fishing on the lakes is available in the fishing season.

We had the best time at Lower Radworthy Cottage. The views out of that large window in the living room and bedroom were amazing. On arrival we were greeted by Donna, the owner, who explained the facilities in the cottage and suggested places to visit. We were left milk, bread, butter and cakes, which were a wonderful touch. The Cottage has every facility. We did take our own tea towels and a kitchen hand towel, although there was one left. It had an iron and ironing board too. Take your own toiletries as none of these are left in the shower room. We usually do anyway. Getting to the cottage was easy enough for us as we are used to driving through lanes, it did take us to the farm down the road, but as Donna explained, if we had the 'What 3 Words 'app it would have taken us straight there. Which you may want to do as there is no signal for your phone. Once at the Cottage you will have WiFi. The Cottage is breathtaking, open space, views for miles, the woodwork all around the cottage is beautiful. Every room is spacious. The bathrooms were showers over a bath tub, no walk-in showers. The grounds were well kept. Our two dogs were lucky to have off lead time due to no other visitors with dogs. The surrounding areas were lovely. Lynmouth was a beautiful visit, it had a beach, cafes and shops along with the Cliff Railway. There was a large car park and prices to park were reasonable. We visited Periwinkle Tea Room in Selworthy. It was a quaint little thatched roof building that served food and drinks with a pretty garden area. The village of Porlock was lovely too. We didnt get to eat out, but drove past The Porlock Inn, which looked lovely. We did a shop in Waitrose on route to the cottage and ate in each night. There isn't a shop local so make sure you are well equipped. Lynmouth or South Molton is the nearest around 20 mins away.The Valley of Rocks was beautiful, and had a cafe to visit and toilet facilities. This was just up the road from Lynmouth. The views from the cliff edge coastal path were beautiful. There were wild goats grazing all around. All in all, we had the best time and would definitely recommend. My only criticism if you can call it that would be that altho there were blinds for most of the windows, the three long slim ones in the living room didnt have any. We would definitely go back.
