Property code: OC-S31025

Set on the edge of the magnificent Exmoor National Park, this delightful hideaway is perfect for those seeking both relaxation and adventure. With a focus on comfort and tranquillity, it offers a fantastic base for exploring the rolling moorland, where scenic trails lead you through breathtaking landscapes rich with wildlife, including graceful kestrels. If you're drawn to the sea, the golden shores of Saunton Sands are within easy reach, while surfers can take on the waves at Croyde (both 30 miles). The nearby coastal path presents endless opportunities for stunning viewpoints, from the dramatic cliffs of Lynmouth and the Valley of Rocks to the charming village of Porlock. History and horticulture enthusiasts will love the nearby National Trust estates and the beautiful RHS Rosemoor Gardens (19 miles). Meanwhile, heritage lovers can take a steam train journey from Minehead or experience the wild beauty of Exmoor on an exhilarating safari.

A beautifully designed escape which takes its name from the man who built this graceful home. Located in the former kitchens that provided feasts for all those country house parties in the 20s and 30s, this lodge is spacious and airy with limestone floors and exposed beams, and there’s a large open-plan living space with a wood burner so you can cosy up after a day of adventures across Exmoor and the North Devon coastline. The kitchen hosts all the appliances needed for a stress-free stay whilst the dining area seats guests comfortably – the perfect spot to sit with that morning cuppa while plan the day’s adventures ahead. When the night draws in, retreat to the king-size bedroom which is accompanied by a limestone-tiled en-suite bathroom with a bath and a separate shower.

French doors open onto a sunny private patio for al fresco dining. Guests also have shared access to the stunning surrounding gardens and outdoor seating that envelops the home. Cook up a storm on the BBQ and relax in the garden room all whilst hearing chirping birds aplenty at this picturesque spot. Private parking for one car is provided.
