There are few places better suited to escaping the pressures of modern day living than a relaxing holiday in Exmoor. Stretching through Somerset and North Devon, rolling moorland and peaks can be found right alongside wooded valleys and sandy beaches, making for a truly picturesque holiday location.

Fans of walking, cycling and horse riding have miles and miles of tracks and walkways to explore, while boat rides and kayaks offer a different perspective of the sandstone cliffs and large sand dunes along Exmoor's coastline.

Clear night skies full of glistening stars await those who venture out after dark, while the wild red deer and Exmoor ponies are just two of the amazing animals that can be seen while wandering across the moor.

With such a rich environment available, literally just outside the doorstep of our Exmoor holiday cottages, you'll be sure to sleep soundly at night in the cosy surroundings of this idyllic rural moor.

Exmoor National Park itself covers an area of almost 267 square miles, rich in history and diverse in landscape. Although playing the role of little sister to its southerly neighbour, Dartmoor, Exmoor’s coastal border offers the something landlocked Dartmoor cannot. The stunning cliff top scenery that makes up the moors northern edge provides walkers, photographers, artists and general explorers endless opportunities to marvel at the rugged embrace between land and sea.

Moving south, Exmoor offers wilderness, rolling green fields, ancient woodlands and pretty meadows - ever-evolving and contrasting landscapes that reward visitors with dramatic scenery, whatever the season.

Lynton and Lynmouth offer a great destination for a visit during your holiday on Exmoor. Situated right on the coastline in breaks between the towering sea cliffs, the two small settlements are perfect for lazy days spent exploring the harbours, selection of shops and various tea rooms and restaurants. The villages are also a good spot to pick up the South West Coast Path that winds its way past them with a popular and worthwhile walk taking you west from the Lynton Cliff Railway Station to the famous Valley of Rocks. The dry valley is one of Exmoor’s most photographed landmarks and makes for a spectacular dose of fresh air all year round.

Exmoor Riding

A holistic horse riding experience on Exmoor, heading out with these guys is pretty magic.  You can go barefoot and bitless if you fancy it in the grounds of Exmoor Owl & Hawk Centre, just one mile from Porlock, and five miles west of Minehead.  Either way you can traverse woodland and moorland with spectacular views to the sea and across the moor to Devon and Cornwall.
