Small but cosy, this Timberscombe cottage is on Exmoor National Park's doorstep, perfect for a romantic getaway or solo hiking trip. Explore Nutcombe Bottom Tall Trees Trail and stop at the local pub, only a short walk away. The bathroom is a little dated here. Still, it's a comfortable and well-equipped cottage. The open kitchen, dining and living space is practical, and you'll appreciate the sofa after a day on your feet. We also love the foliage-covered pergola and patio seating, ideal for alfresco breakfasts. Though the garden isn't directly connected to the cottage, you'll find it around 30 feet away. Plus, there's free parking too.

About Exmoor
Straddling Devon and Somerset, Exmoor might be one of the UK’s smaller national parks, but you’d never know it when you’re there. Exmoor’s 700 square kilometres take in endless moors clad in a purple sea of soft heather, babbling rivers, and sheer cliffs that drop into the clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
