Westcott Cross Cottage is surrounded by a huge secure, dog safe, garden with totally unspoilt views over the Exmoor hills. The large garden provides plenty of space for relaxation or for children to play in and give the property privacy (the little stone building seen in some of the pictures is a storage barn, not another cottage). There is a patio area with picnic table tucked to the side of the house, making the most of a sheltered position with stunning views up and down the valley. There is also a footpath from the side of the house which leads down the valley to the stream, and in the other direction, to the top of hill you can see from the garden.

The region
+ MoreSet in the foothills of the Brendon Hills on the southern slope of Croydon Hill, Luxborough enjoys a peaceful and beautiful setting. Luxborough is a small village that is divided into the hamlets of Churchtown, Kingsbridge and Pooltown, which all lie within a mile of each other. ...In years gone by people came to the Luxborough area to mine iron ore and it was sent via the West Somerset Mineral Railway to Watchet on the coastline. In the 19th century the school was reported to have 200 pupils from the village and the iron mines in the Brendon Hills. The ancient Church of St Mary in Churchtown is believed to date from Norman times, or some believe it may be Saxon times due to a Cross in the Churchyard. Today, St Mary's is a Grade II listed building. Bridleways and footpaths crisscross near and through Luxborough, including the famous Coleridge Way which passes through the village. The Royal Oak Inn serves drinks and good food, approx 1 mile away from the cottage in Luxborough. Roadwater is situated 4 miles to the east and the popular village of Dunster is 4.5 miles to the north. Wheddon Cross (approx 5 miles) has a newly refurbished mini-supermarket with Post Office facilities and a petrol station with good opening times. Roadwater is also has a local shop and pub which serves food. Dunster is also approx 4 miles, but in the other direction, this wonderful medieval village is really worth a visit, it has lots of shops, restaurants, tea rooms and a village shop. Minehead is the nearest town, approximately 7 miles away. Here you will find the larger supermarkets plus a range of other shops throughout the town. Tesco, Sainsbury's, Waitrose as well as Cook from Taunton will deliver to this area.
