Combe Cottage sleeps six guests (plus baby in a cot) in four bedrooms and is a beautifully presented holiday home located on the outskirts of the Somerset village of Winsford, right in the depths of Exmoor's stunning national park. Offering the perfect mix of modern style and classic charm, guests can enjoy well appointed spacious accommodation with four en-suite bedrooms (two doubles on the ground floor for those with limited mobility) and open plan living, providing a lovely sense of space.
Furnished and equipped to a high standard, Combe Cottage is ideal all year round. During the winter months you have underfloor heating and a modern log burner to put a warm glow on the chilliest of winter nights. During the summer, the south-facing garden provides plenty of space (half an acre) to relax with spectacular views; and the spring and autumn colours can be enjoyed from the conservatory which affords a sunny aspect all day long. Both families and dogs (up to two) are welcome at Combe Cottage and the enclosed garden provides plenty of space for letting off steam.
Winsford is a delightful Exmoor village and a short five minute walk from the cottage. Here you will find Bridge Cottage Tearoom (fantastic breakfasts, lunches and cakes!) and one of the country's most photographed inns, The Royal Oak (dog and child friendly!). Dating back to the 12th Century with its pretty thatched roof, The Royal Oak serves excellent home cooked meals using the best of local produce, and fine ales. Adjacent to the Royal Oak is the village shop. With its unspoilt charm, village green and little stream running through, Winsford is often referred to as Exmoor's prettiest village, attracting walkers, cyclists and horse riders.
Exmoor National Park offers endless opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts and has been designated an International Dark Sky Reserve, the first in Europe. Spend your days cycling the lanes, canal tow paths and traffic free routes, or lace up your walking boots and discover Exmoor's many attractions on foot including Lorna Doone country, Dunkery Beacon and Tarr Steps. There's no better way to see the Exmoor ponies than in their natural habitat on nearby Winsford Hill and the Exmoor Pony Centre allows you to meet the ponies and also book to go trekking across the moor.
If you fancy something a little more leisurely, take a nostalgic scenic trip on the West Somerset Steam railway, or head to the coast for a day by the sea at Minehead (half an hour's drive). There are also lots of great attractions to visit with something for all ages including Exmoor Zoo, Wimbleball Lake Country Park, Dunster Castle and Arlington Court to name just a few.
