About this property

2 bed rural retreat nestled in the heart of Exmoor

Mannacott Farm, brought to you by Cottages On The Coast, is set in the heart of Exmoor on a 300 acre working beef and sheep farm. Set in the middle of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it commands scenic views of the valley below and the moors in the distance. The property itself is a wing of the original 17th century farmhouse and is perfect for a cosy cottage holiday. Furnished in a traditional ‘country cottages’ style, it retains some of it’s original features including the impressive stone fireplace in the kitchen. This property is great value for money and is the ideal base for exploring Exmoor and the greater North Devon region. Perfect for many occasions - including a family holiday, a walking holiday or a romantic retreat to escape it all. There are many treasures to explore nearby, including a walking trail to the picturesque Heddons Mouth Cove which is only a mile away. There is so much to see and do, you will need another stay to Mannacott Farm just to fit it all in.

The property itself has two bedrooms and a roomy living space. On the ground floor there is a entrance hall leading on to the country cottage style kitchen. The kitchen table sits in front original stone fireplace and provides the perfect setting for meals together. There is a good size living room, with comfortable sofas and a wood burning stove, so you can sit back and relax in the glow of the fire during those cooler evenings. On the first floor there are two bedrooms, both furnished with solid wood furniture, and a family bathroom. The property benefits from a small, south facing patio area and sloped lawned garden to the side and the rear. Due to it’s location the farm is a haven for wildlife.

The delightful villages of Lynton and Lynmouth are only 4 miles away, where you will find lots do to and see. If you are feeling adventurous, why not take the coastal road to Lynton, where you will discover some fantastic scenery, including the famous, Valley Of The Rocks.

Mannacott Farm
Amazing location, excellent pub very close, although the walk back up the hill would not be suitable for those who struggle with hills! WiFi signal is a little patchy, particularly as there is no phone signal in the area - could do with a little booster. Other than that, we had a great time during May half term and the weather was fantastic!
