Horner Cottage in Luccombe is a self-contained one bedroom holiday property in the rural village of Luccombe, nestled at the foot of Dunkery. Just 2 miles from the sea Horner Cottage is well suited to couples looking for a peaceful getaway.
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, and which is next to the cottages) was the original Rectory for the 14th century village church next door. Please note that there are no food or drink items in the welcome Pack.

Please note that there are no food or drink items in the welcome pack. As with much of Exmoor, mobile phone reception in the cottage is very poor. However, if you turn ‘WiFi Calling’ on on your mobile you will be able to make/receive calls/texts over the cottage WiFi - you can often find this tab under Settings and then Phone, or alternatively contact your service provider and ask them to activate it.

The region
+ MoreNestling at the foot of Dunkery Beacon, the highest point on Exmoor, in the Vale of Porlock, Luccombe is a wonderfully picturesque National Trust village that is mentioned in the Domesday Book and was recently voted one of Englands prettiest villages! It's approximately 4 miles f...rom Minehead and 2 miles from Porlock. Luccombe is an ideal spot for those looking for a quiet escape. Luccombe is sited approx 1.5 miles off the Minehead to Porlock road down a small country lane, which adds to its tranquillity. The nearest shops and pubs are in Porlock, a couple of miles away.
Here's just a handful of some of our favourite local eateries ... Cross Lane House, Allerford ... wonderful modern European, in a lovely setting with a really friendly greeting. Ziang’s … fantastic 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.
