This may be lodge-living, but they'll be no roughing it inside this luxurious, light-filled retreat, fringing the open moorlands of Exmoor National Park and yet just a ten-minute drive from the sandy coast. Outside, there's a superb wraparound deck with lakeside views and a hot tub that's just begging for you to hop right in with a sundowner. Inside, there's heaps of space to all spill out in style in the cosy seating area. And a kitchen that's ready for action when it's time to gather your troops together for memorable mealtimes in the dining area – best served with those bi-fold doors slid right back to get the sunshine in and reveal views of the tranquil countryside beyond. Don't fancy cooking? Then mosey down to the award-winning brasserie-style restaurant and cocktail bar, just moments away at the Manor House with lies at the heart of this exclusive country estate – it's a real crowd-pleaser. And when it's time to explore the great outdoors, head for the sandy shores of Wild Pear Beach (a ten-minute drive) – or a little further Woolacombe Beach (twenty-eight-minute drive), famed for its vast stretches of sand to rival any Mediterranean hotspot. Or don your... hiking boots and delve deep into Exmoor's National Park, just a moment from your door, or a little further, the Heddon Valley (eighteen-minute drive). It's all for the taking here.
