Guests say

Coombe View is a beautifully presented cottage in a tranquil rural setting, offering stunning countryside views and a peaceful atmosphere. Guests consistently praise the immaculate accommodation, warm welcomes, and thoughtful touches. The property is especially popular with dog owners and those seeking relaxation away from busy life. While the remote location provides serenity, it does mean a drive is needed for shops and attractions. A few minor maintenance and comfort issues were noted, but overall, guests highly recommend this cottage for a restful countryside escape.

The majority of guests found the property spotless, clean, and well-kept, with only one review mentioning pet hair on arrival. Overall, cleanliness is a strong point.

The rural, peaceful location with beautiful views is highly praised, especially for those seeking tranquillity and dog walks. Some guests noted the remoteness and narrow lanes as a challenge, and the need to drive for amenities.

Guests frequently mention comfortable beds, cosy interiors, and relaxing spaces. One review highlighted discomfort with the upstairs beds and suitability for children, but most found the accommodation very comfortable.

Facilities are generally well-received, with well-equipped kitchens, underfloor heating, and good furnishings. Minor issues included an old shower, a broken fridge shelf, and lack of firelighters, but these were exceptions.

Many guests appreciated the welcome packs with bread, milk, butter, and homemade cake, as well as helpful hosts and local information. Please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

Centred on a cobbled courtyard with a pond, the properties benefit from the use of their own private sitting-out area as well as a very large, well-maintained garden with stunning views across the countryside. There are some great walks from the farm up onto Exmoor which is designated as an International Dark Sky Reserve, and there are a number of walks on the estate that take you down through woods and along valleys by rivers and past lakes. 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. Access is by foot or by 4x4 vehicle as they are both located along farm tracks unsuitable for cars. Please ask for directions to the lakes.

The village of North Molton, a short drive away, has a good local pub. The larger town of South Molton has a wider range of shops and local amenities.

During your stay, there is plenty to see and do. Highlights on the moor include the pretty village of Withypool, and the the famous and ancient Tarr Steps. Climb to Exmoor’s highest point at Dunkery Beacon, and then pop into the Dulverton for an afternoon cream tea. There is extensive walking to suit all abilities across the moor, and towards the coastline there are dramatic, steep cliffs at Countisbury. In the Victorian towns of Lynton and Lynmouth, there is plenty to see and do, and the two towns are connected by the famous funicular cliff railway. Other local highlights include the Valley of the Rocks, and there is also access to the South West Coast Path. For good beaches, head up to Woolacombe, Putborough, Croyde and Saunton. You will be able to enjoy some of the best beaches in the country with surfing and rock pooling. For those with young children, Exmoor Zoo, Combe Martin Wildlife Park and Watermouth Castle all provide an interesting and entertaining day out.

    Stayed here with my family just recently.If you’re looking for complete relaxation and peace and quiet this place is it,which is located in the Exmoor region.Met one of the owners on arrival who was very friendly who showed us where we were staying.they made a lovely cake for us which I thought was a nice surprise.If anyone is planning to book here remember this is a working farm.This farm is located in the middle of nowhere.I strongly recommend if you haven’t got enough food with you when you arrive it’s best to book a Tesco or Sainsbury’s food delivery as the nearest supermarket is Sainsbury’s which is in South Molton a 21 minute drive.I don’t like to be negative,but there are some downsides.there was no power point for shavers and when you need to go out in the car there are some very narrow lanes you have to drive through to get where you need to go.There isn’t much to do for kids as I think this place is more suited for adults who want to get away from everything.One last thing do your research in Lower North Radworthy before you book as this place is in the middle of nowhere.Although in saying that I would recommend staying here.Thanks

    What a fantastic place to stay! If you’re looking for peace, quiet, and breathtaking views, this cottage is perfect. Everything was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped. The delicious homemade welcome cake was such a lovely surprise and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. We had a truly relaxing stay and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended!

    A lovely barn conversion, warm, clean and comfortable with amazing views. If you're looking for some peace and quiet this is a good place for a holiday! Good living space with underfloor heating. The only down side was to do anything you need to get in the car - not many walks from here as you'd have to walk along the roads (single track with fast speed limits). Plenty of good walks within a 15 minute drive away, so it didn't stop us having a great holiday!
