Selworthy Farmhouse

Holnicote, Somerset

9

Located in Holnicote, Somerset, this beautifully-renovated 19th-century farmhouse offers a serene retreat nestled in the Exmoor hills, complete with stunning views of Dunkery Beacon, the highest point in Exmoor. The cottage accommodates up to nine guests and serves as an ideal base for both walkers and seaside enthusiasts, thanks to its proximity to the South West Coast Path, which provides access to breathtaking coastal landscapes and diverse local wildlife.

Upon entering the cottage, guests are greeted by a welcoming hallway that leads to a cozy sitting room featuring comfortable sofas and a woodburner, perfect for relaxation. The dining room connects to a spacious modern kitchen adorned with traditional flagstone floors, complemented by a convenient boot and utility room. This layout fosters a sociable atmosphere, making it easy for families or groups to gather and enjoy meals together. The upper floor houses five bedrooms, several of which include en-suite bathrooms, ensuring ample space and comfort for all guests.

Just a short walk from the cottage lies the charming village of Selworthy, complete with a village green, a tea room, and a gift shop, providing a delightful setting for stocking up on local treats. The coastal village of Porlock, located approximately three miles away, offers a selection of pubs and a vibrant high street filled with independent shops and cafes. For those eager to explore, the South West Coast Path invites guests to wander through picturesque villages and enjoy clifftop walks, while beach lovers can relax on the pebbles of Bossington or visit the sandy shores of Minehead, a family-friendly destination during the summer months.

Guests will find plenty of nearby attractions to explore, including the Somerset Railway, which runs from Minehead to Bishops Lydeard, and the cliff railway at Lynton. The expansive Holnicote estate spans 12,500 acres within Exmoor National Park, where visitors can encounter wild ponies, deer, and beavers along a network of peaceful footpaths and bridleways. After enjoying the diverse natural beauty of beaches, moors, cliffs, and woodlands, guests can venture to Taunton, just an hour away by car, or visit the historic cathedral city of Exeter, located an hour and a half from the cottage.
