Exmoor self catering accommodation

Exmoor self catering accommodation
Our spacious and well-appointed cottages are located in the glorious surroundings of Exmoor National Park; we offer absolute peace and quiet and yet are only three hours drive from London or Birmingham. You can walk the Two Moors Way which passes our gate, bring your dogs and even your horses and make use of our stables or simply sit quietly fishing and watching for the Exmoor Ponies, red deer or the multitude of wild birds.

If you wish to explore, our Exmoor self catering accommodation is within easy reach of the coastal towns of Porlock, Lynton and Lynmouth and close to Lorna Doone country. Hawkridge itself gets a mention in this book! There is a purpose built playground in front of the cottages as well as a selection of ride-on toys and the possibility of baby-sitting. We also have cots and highchairs available for your use.

As a family run business, we guarantee you a warm welcome in any one of our four cottages or in all four if you wish to bring your extended family too, perhaps for a special anniversary celebration. Part of our land has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest and you are welcome to explore all of our sixty acres of fields and woodlands. Wherever possible, we try to promote sustainable tourism here on Exmoor. Take a weekend break from the hustle and bustle or come and stay for a week or two; let Exmoor work its magic on you.

Please note: Discounts are available - 2 nights 50%, 3 nights 65%, 4 nights 75%, 5 nights 85%.  10% discount maybe given for second and subsequent visits of a week or more.
