Details 

Horner Cottage in Luccombe is a delightful, one bed cottage in the heart of Exmoor National Park. Located on the edge of the village of Luccombe - a Domesday Book, National Trust village - it doesn't get much more picturesque than this! 

The property is light, airy, well equipped and very comfortable with its own cottage garden and off street parking.  Ideal for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers or anyone looking to relocate to the area.  

The cottage was converted many years ago from what was once the coach house for the Manor. It's now two holiday cottages, Horner Cottage sleeps 2, and Luccombe Cottage (next door) sleeps up to 4 guests. Horner Cottage is accessed by passing Luccombe Cottage to reach the front door.

The entrance door opens up into a large hallway - plenty of room for coats and boots, etc. The spacious sitting room and kitchen within dining table are on either side of the hallway. Upstairs there is one large double bedroom with bathroom attached. The bathroom comprises bath with shower over, toilet and hand basin.

One dog is welcome for a supplement of £15. Please do not allow your dogs on the furniture or upstairs.

The Manor House (where the owners live) was the original Rectory for the 14th century village church next door, there is even a private entrance to the church yard from the gardens. The gardens also include a stunning selection of magnificent trees, including some of England's oldest and largest trees -  it's a horticulturist's dream!

The region

Recommendations include:

Ziang’s … amazing fish & chips and Asian Street Food at Porlock Weir

Periwinkle Tea Rooms, Selworthy … fabulous tea rooms, lovely staff, delicious cakes and an amazing setting and view

The Harbour Cafe, Porlock Weir ... great tea/coffee, cakes and light lunches

Horner Tea Garden, Horner ... a lovely 1/2 hour walk from the cottages through the woods

The Lutterell Arms, Dunster … traditional restaurant/pub
There are a huge number of beautiful and varied walks in terms of length, difficulty, views and topography right from the cottage - the cottage has full directions for a number of walks and local walking maps to give you a hand in deciding where to wander. With over 750 miles of path marked 'Right of Way' in Exmoor (including a chunk of the Coastal Path) you're bound to find something to suit.

Minehead beach is only 4 miles away, and Dunster only a little further if you are looking for some sand. In the other direction there are sandy beaches at Lynton & Lynmouth - the drive there alone is well worth it for the stunning scenery! If you're into bird watching, a walk from Bossington beach around to Porlock or Porlock Weir encompassing the pebble ridge and salt marsh is wonderful.
