Escape day to day life, enjoy an abundance of walks or days on the beach and then relax in this beautiful cottage situated in the pretty Exmoor village of Withycombe.

Situated in a pretty village within Exmoor National Park, this cottage is a perfect location for those wishing to walk or cycle this awe-inspiring landscape. Visit the quintessential seaside village of Blue Anchor (2.5miles) with its large beach, two pubs, seaside cafe and the historic West Somerset Railway, which runs from Minehead to Bishops Lydeard. Explore the coastal town of Minehead (4.5 miles) and visit the pretty village of Porlock (10 miles), or the seaside town of Watchet (5 miles) with its marina and an excellent range of cafes, restaurants, pubs and shops. The medieval village of Dunster with its National Trust castle towering above it is a must-see and is just 2.5 miles away.

Step into the perfectly equipped kitchen/diner which has an induction hob, electric oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, DeLonghi Magnifica coffee machine, wine cooler and washing machine; it is a great space for cooking lazy breakfasts or trying out new recipes. There is also a large dining table and French doors which open up onto the garden. From the kitchen, head into the spacious hall which leads to most rooms. The bright and attractive lounge is an ideal space to relax in, with comfortable seating and a Smart TV. Completing the ground floor is a useful WC. Head upstairs to the three bedrooms, the master is king-size with an en-suite shower room complete with a shower and WC. The second bedroom is a twin (which can be made into a super-king-size zip-and-link on request). The third bedroom is a single. To complete the accommodation there is a bathroom with a shower over the bath and a WC.

Stepping outside from the kitchen/diner, you can relax at the end of a fantastic day and maybe dine alfresco in the enclosed courtyard garden with outside furniture. Allocated parking is available at the rear of the property for three cars and there is a neighbouring free village car park for additional cars (subject to availability).

Well equipped holiday home. Beds were comfortable and the house was warm even when we switched the heating off. Large parking space for 2 cars. Walked to Dunster and Blue Anchor from the house, (Blue Anchor walk along public bridleway be aware of a couple of fallen trees). Great holiday,even the weather was kind.

The house is lovely. The area is lovely. The equipment in the house was great. Plenty of places near by to visit. Dunster and Dunster Castle are well worth a visit. If you visit the castle check out the Victorian kitchen, attic tour and servant quarters. These are extras on top of the castle entry fee. The steam train from Minehead is worth a trip.
