Description

Gorse Cottage is superbly located in the beautiful village of Withypool in the heart of Exmoor National Park. The cottage is well equipped with a spacious sitting room with wood burning stove & a light and airy kitchen diner. French doors open from the kitchen onto the patio area at the back of the cottage where there is a patio table and chairs. There are three bedrooms. The king size master bedroom with ensuite is on the ground floor. The ensuite comprises a bath with shower. Upstairs there are two further bedrooms. One is a twin bedroom and the other bedroom has zip link beds giving the flexibility for another twin or a kingsize bed as required. These bedrooms share a family shower-room. There is also a separate downstairs WC. The property benefits from an enclosed garden.

Withypool

The cottage is just a short walk from the River Barle, perfect for children on sunny days. The moor can be reached in a couple of minutes. There are lots of lovely walks from Withypool, including routes along the river to Tarr Steps and Landacre Bridge. The renowned Exmoor ponies can often been seen grazing on Withypool Common and, of course, Exmoor is famous for its red deer. This is a popular area for cyclists Horse riding over the moor is a fantastic experience. Lynton & Lynmouth are 16 miles away. The fabulous beaches of Croyde Bay, Putsborough & Woolacombe (50 minutes drive) are great for surfing and parts of Woolacombe beach are dog friendly throughout the year. The medieval village of Dunster is also a great day out.

Withypool is lucky to have a shop, with a post office, the Withypool Tea Rooms and the Royal Oak pub - all just a short walk away.
