Stay in the chocolate-box village of Withypool and enjoy the peaceful surroundings of this single-storey, family-friendly property. The village is home to traditional thatched cottages, quaint tea rooms, and the River Barle running through it. Take a scenic 4-mile walk from Withypool to Tarr Steps along the riverbanks, passing through mystical woodlands and open moors. One of the National Park’s most famous features is its resident ponies, and you can meet and learn about these rare animals at the Exmoor Pony Centre (3 miles). While hiking through surrounding nature reserves or among the rolling hills, keep an eye out for red deer or peregrine falcons. Explore the area’s beautiful coastline with a trip to Somerset’s Bossington Beach (12 miles) or the seaside town of Minehead (16 miles).
This homely property will make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive, featuring ramped access at the entrance and open-plan living. Unwind in front of the large picture window, soaking up breath-taking views from wherever you sit, whether on the sumptuous chairs opposite the wood-burner-effect gas fire or over at the dining table during mealtimes. The well-designed kitchen area is fully equipped and ready for any aspiring chef. Down the hallway, you’ll find a spacious bathroom with a stylishly tiled and large walk-in shower cubicle and a separate bath. The two inviting bedrooms include a double and a twin and both are equipped with a Smart TV for added evening entertainment. The double bedroom also features an en-suite WC.
Outside, you’ll discover two private, enclosed courtyard spaces, each with outdoor furniture. Relax with a drink while children or pets run around freely. You’re also invited to enjoy the owner’s landscaped gardens, which lead down to the riverbanks for effortless fishing.
