There are no reviews for Brook Cottage in 2022. Sadly, no bookings could be made because extensive building work to the sun room and patio was delayed right through the summer as a result of the Covid epidemic. Brook Cottage in Challacombe was originally built as an agricultural dwelling. Some years ago two bedrooms were made into one spacious double aspect room. In addition, a sun-room and a downstairs cloakroom were added and comprehensive insulation installed. The wood burning stove was recently replaced.

The historical village of Challacombe is in a rural location in Exmoor Park, but within easy reach of Barnstaple, Lynton and the market town of South Molton. There are footpaths and bridleways from Challacombe to the moor and the surrounding countryside, making it ideal for walking, riding, cycling and sightseeing.
There is an abundance of wildlife in the area, with butterflies, birds, such as pheasants, buzzards and barn owls. The field behind Brook Cottage is farmland and you will see cows, sheep or horses grazing outside the gate. Please do not feed the horses. There are roe deer in the woods surrounding the field, so if you are very lucky your may see one or two. If you want to see red deer, you need to go up on the moors. On clear nights, the sky is spectacular.
Please note, mobile phone signal in the cottage is not reliable.
It is possible to get reception if you stop at a lay-by on the way to the A399 (just over a mile from the cottage) so we recommend using the internet provided for making WiFi calls.
