From the owner

Relax, at Exmoor Cottage Holidays, in front of the log-burning stove, or dine al fresco on the decking outside this charming cottage which is all on one level, ideal for couples & pets, and anyone who may have difficulty with stairs. Wisteria Cottage is in a peaceful village (Challacombe) location and is very warm and comfortable with character features, enclosed garden and patio, large children's play area and just five minutes walk from a shop and pub.

Wisteria Cottage (part of "Town Tenement Farm") is very cosy and snug, having recently been renovated from a barn to modern standards (including full double-glazing and very highly insulated). There is a large sitting room with log-burning stove, comfortable seating and Freeview TV. There are large folding doors to a decking overlooking a lovely enclosed garden with a picnic table.

There is a well-equipped kitchen/dining room with oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washer-dryer, a generous king-size double bedroom (which can be made into a twin) and a lovely shower-room with a large shower cubicle, hand-basin & WC.

No-one can get bored at Wisteria Cottage. If the free WiFi and nearly 100 Freeview TV channels aren't enough there are many books, games & DVD's, and three acres of grounds to explore; with wild-flower meadows, wildlife pond; and a delightful walk up and around Humphrey's Hill, where there are lovely views of Exmoor, perfect for a picnic.

A cot and high chair are usually available to hire (£5 each), a fire guard and safety gate are available free of charge, and towel sets available for hire (£5 per set comprising bath towel and hand towel) - all subject to availability - please check well in advance and book early if available.

Pets are very welcome £20 per stay/per pet, payable on arrival. The types and numbers of pets MUST be mentioned in advance, preferably in the Message To Owner section of the Booking Request. Not all pets will be welcome and there are number limits - please check in advance. Hand-soap, cleaning materials and tea towels are provided, and a welcome pack with a few essentials (until you can get to a shop) including a basket of logs & kindling, tea, coffee, sugar, fresh milk, bin bag, toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner & matches.

Wisteria Cottage is in the quiet and peaceful village of Challacombe and within the Exmoor National Park. Within 300 yards is an excellent pub with award-winning food and real ales, and a handy general shop and Post Office. Challacombe has excellent local walks and is an ideal central location from which to explore Exmoor, the sandy beaches of Woolacombe and Croyde, and the spectacular coastline of North Devon & Somerset.

Wisteria Cottage is one of five holiday cottages (known as "Exmoor Cottage Holidays") converted from a former farm. The cottages form a 'U' shape around a charming courtyard and each has a log burning stove and an enclosed garden. The other four cottages (sleeping 1-6 people) are also available, look under "Challacombe". The owners, John & Melanie Moore, live just next door and like to greet all customers personally. We are usually available most days help you plan your day.

Wisteria Cottage a hoe from home
Jul 2024

Wisteria Cottage was the perfect home from home. Spotlessly clean, everything we needed (apart from the rain). Lovely hosts and we will definitely return.

Gosh, such a great review, thank you. We are really happy that you and your parents enjoyed your stay at Exmoor Cottage Holidays. It is our pleasure to chatter with and advise guests, to help them to make the best of each visit. We are glad that you found the little extras to be useful, alongside the basics we try to have a few things to make your stay a bit easier. Thank you for mentioning them. Since covid bookings are essential at the fab Black Venus. As you say there is a delightful stream through the village - great fun for dogs and children to paddle in. With 5 cottages around our courtyard, each with an enclosed garden, we are good for families with or without pets. We look forward to seeing you in December. Best wishes Melanie and John
