This is Lorna Doone Country, glorious and unspoilt, with heather clad hills, open moorland, wooded valleys, plunging waterfalls, crystal clear waters of rivers and streams, all close to the towering cliffs, rocky headlands and sweeping shorelines of the coastline of Exmoor. Set in this enchanting location and tucked in the folds of a beautiful, very peaceful, valley along a tiny lane that meanders beside Oare Water is Poocks Cottage.
This charming detached stone cottage, formerly a 19th century keeper's dwelling, retains much of its original character and is most comfortably furnished. Enjoying its own enclosed gardens with lawns that ramble up to adjacent fields and open moorland beyond, the cottage is close to Oare church and Robber's Bridge, both featured in the novel Lorna Doone. Surrounded by stunning hills, there are many beautiful doorstep walks and a short drive takes you to the outstanding Heritage coastline of Porlock Bay, and the nearby pretty seaside and country villages of Lynton, Lynmouth, Porlock and Porlock Weir. Come here to escape from the world, be cosseted by the tranquillity and beauty of the exceptional location of this idyllic Exmoor cottage.
