Lower Sellicks is a peaceful cottage set beside a stream with a delightful sunny garden. It comfortably accommodates eight to ten people in four bedrooms and is located within the Exmoor National Park. The spaciousness of the cottage and its layout will appeal to a wide range of visitors including families holidaying together, families with grandparents, groups of walkers etc.
The cottage is situated in a quiet Exmoor village with local amenities just a few minutes walk away. These include The Valiant Soldier pub which serves home cooked, locally sourced food and the Village Stores and Post Office which stocks a range of groceries, fresh produce and newspapers. There is also a children’s play area.
Lower Sellicks is an excellent base for walking with some of the many footpaths that criss-cross the area passing very close to the property. There are a number of circular walks from the cottage which can be easily planned to arrive at one of the local pubs at lunchtime!
Many of our visitors enjoy simply relaxing and playing in the house and garden but for those who want to venture out there is a wide range of local attractions. Accessible beaches are just few miles away and slightly further is the seaside town of Minehead (fifteen minutes drive). There are museums, historical villages and properties such as Dunster Castle to explore as well as various animal, theme and activity centres like the nearby Tropiquaria Zoo. The scenic West Somerset Railway can be boarded just a couple of miles away at Washford Station and for those wanting more activity, Wimbleball Lake (less than ten miles) offers canoeing, windsurfing, sailing, rowing and fishing.

I just wanted to say thank you for another great new year's break at the cottage, we all had a great time and just love it down there!
We’ll be in touch to sort out another booking soon!
I am just writing to let you know that we all had a wonderful holiday at Lower Sellicks at the end of July. We especially liked the garden with the marvellous stream - what a very special place.

What an absolutely gorgeous cottage and delightful garden.....we couldn't believe our luck in finding such a gem! The children loved paddling in the stream, exploring the garden and marching backwards and forwards across the bridge! Us adults enjoyed a great family get together.
We had a lovely week in Roadwater. Two wet days but fine otherwise and quite mild so we were able to enjoy the garden and the children did some splashing in the stream. We found the house very comfortable and cosy and an excellent base for exploring the local area. We had a splendid walk around from Tarr Steps and we very much enjoyed the steam train up to Dunster and a visit to the village and castle as well as some coastal walks.
