Step back in time and relax in front of the lovely inglenook fireplace in this cosy C17 to 18th cottage at Exmoor Cottage Holidays, ideal for couples, families & pets. Inglenook Cottage is in a peaceful village location and is very warm & comfortable with character features, enclosed patio, large children's play area and just five minutes walk from a shop & pub.

Inglenook Cottage (at "Town Tenement Farm") has the special atmosphere of a home that has been lived in for a long time. It is comfortable & warm having recently been renovated (with modern kitchen & bathroom, insulated walls and double-glazing). The large living room has an attractive inglenook fireplace (with bread oven & salt safe) and multi-fuel stove, comfortable seating and Freeview TV. Near the kitchen is a dining area with dining table & chairs.

The separate kitchen is very well equipped with electric oven & hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer, and a stable door leads out to a lovely enclosed patio garden. There is also a small south-facing front garden with a picnic table, ideal for al fresco dining.

There are three bedrooms upstairs, a double, a single and a superking-sized (or twin utilising a ziplink bed). The bright, modern bathroom has a bath, separate shower, handbasin & WC.

No-one can get bored at Inglenook 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 meadow, wildlife pond, and large children's play area with two towers, bridge, swing, slide, climbing wall, fireman's pole, etc). Watch the birds in the front garden and the many butterflies in the buddleia, or enjoy a family picnic in the grounds which have lovely views of Exmoor.

A cot and high chair are usually available to hire (£5 each), a fire guard and stair 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

Inglenook 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.

Inglenook 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 all available separately, please 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.

Interaction with guest

The owners of Exmoor Cottage Holidays, John & Melanie, live just next door and welcome each guest personally. We are available most days to help you get the very most from your stay (and to feed the birds!). We have lived in the area since 1997 and can advise the best walks, places to visit, restaurants, local attractions, etc. and show you them on an Ordnance Survey map (which you may borrow). We can help light the fire in your cottage, show you how to keep it going, and we sometimes have some special offers just for our guests.

Thank you for your lovely review. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay in our Inglenook Cottage and that you found it to be comfortable and well equipped. A good sleep is very important and we did lots of research to find great mattresses - it is good to get feedback, thank you. The wisteria and lilacs have been particularly great this year, on the whole the gardens have put on a lovely show again. We are very lucky that Challacombe is a quiet village - with the added benefits of the excellent Black Venus Inn and a little local shop... and the rest of Exmoor on the doorstep. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Best wishes Melanie and John

Owner's reply:
Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad that you had a comfortable stay in Inglenook Cottage - it is possibly over 300yrs old and we felt we should keep as many features as we could! The cottages all have a garden each, with seating - ideal for enjoying a relaxing day in the gardens. Croyde is lovely and just one of many excellent beaches along the north coast. And Porlock is a fascinating little village - as you say, quite an interesting road in though. Having an excellent pub and a little shop within walking distance is a bonus, no need to drive everywhere. We hope to welcome you again. Best wishes Melanie and John
