Nestled on the edge of the breathtakingly beautiful Exmoor National Park, this wonderfully kept escape puts an emphasis on laid-back living. This home-from-home hosts the perfect starting spot for any trek into and over the moors where you can seek to find all sorts of wildlife including kestrels on picture-postcard trails. Beach lovers will certainly not be disappointed as you can head for Saunton Sands, and if surfing is your thing, Croyde is the place to be, both within 30 miles. Whilst these stunning golden sands and turquoise waters provide a great day out, if it's views you love, then you can choose any further spot along the North Devon coastal path with Lynmouth, the Valley of the Rocks and Porlock providing the breathtaking views from a higher point. There are National Trust Houses close by and the RHS garden at Rosemoor (29 miles) to admire.  You can even grab a steam train ride at Minehead or enjoy an Exmoor Safari from your own front door.

One of four beautifully renovated retreats at this former boy’s school, you will enter into a wonderfully light and open space, as inviting as the moor it sits within. The kitchen area provides all the appliances needed for a stress-free stay, before heading on through into the open plan lounge/dining area, which hosts a mix of comfortable and dining seating, plenty enough for all guests to sit back and relax together in front of the Smart TV.  Enjoy the nominated chef’s feast or seek a board game to feed a competitive edge in addition to your stomach. When the night draws in, retreat to your choice of two bedrooms, one hosting a king-size bed whilst the other a twin zip-and-link awaits. Both bedrooms are blessed with the luxury of en-suite shower rooms and plenty of wardrobe space.

Stepping outside, guests have shared access to the stunning surrounding gardens and outdoor seating enveloping the home. Cook up a storm on the BBQ, relax in the garden room all whilst hearing chirping birds aplenty at this picturesque spot. Private parking for one car is provided.
