Blagdon Cottage is in a beautiful rural location on the edge of Wheddon Cross in Exmoor National Park. The semi-detached holiday home is surrounded by fields and sleeps eight people in four bedrooms with two bathrooms. The layout is suitable for big families or friends, especially those who yearn for a tranquil setting with lots of opportunities to be outdoors and active. There are fantastic footpaths and cycling routes from the door, including a trail to Dunkery Beacon. Stop by the Rest and Be Thankful Inn on your way home for a pint of local ale and a delicious pub meal, or stock up at local markets and use the cottage's excellent self-catering facilities.
Wheddon Cross is the highest village in Exmoor, with views of Dunkery Beacon from almost every street. As well as the pub, there's a busy village shop and post office, and playing fields with a playground and a multi-use games court. You'll want your comfiest walking boots to make the most of the excellent routes in the area, including the Coleridge Way that passes through the village. Mountain bikers are also spoiled for choice with miles of trails across moorland and over hills as well as along the coast. There are local stables for horse riding or bring your own horse and use the stables and paddock at the cottage. You're only eight miles from beaches at Bossington and Minehead if you want to swim, kayak, paddleboard or surf.
Activities you can enjoy during your stay are walking through the Nutcombe Bottom Tall Trees Trail, and exploring the house and grounds at National Trust Dunster Castle before having lunch at one of the excellent cafes in the village. The Quantock Hills are close enough for a day's mountain biking, and it's always relaxing to watch the boats at Porlock Weir (especially if you're doing so from the waterfront pub). Minehead is always popular, having two beaches and a raft of amusements to keep the kids busy even in poor weather, and you're only an hour from Exeter.
