This former piggery has been converted with exceptional attention to detail and is the perfect bolthole for those who want to get away from it all, with beautiful countryside views from the seating area. Peacefully situated in the village of Cutcombe, in Exmoor National Park, this is the perfect location for those wishing to walk or cycle in this awe-inspiring landscape. The village of Wheddon Cross (0.5 miles) is home to a post office, garage/shop and a pub. The pretty village of Porlock and the coastal town of Minehead are both 8 miles away. The medieval village of Dunster (6 miles) with its National Trust castle towering above it is a must-see.

Enter this stylishly decorated single-storey annexe into a hallway which is a great place to hang clothes and store coats and boots. From here enter a light and airy open-plan studio space which enjoys countryside views. Find a comfortable seating area with a Smart TV, a dining area and French doors opening onto the terrace. The sleeping area has a king-size bed so you can sleep tight after a day out exploring. Head back into the hall and into a contemporary and well-equipped kitchen. A shower room completes this immaculate accommodation.

Outside is a small, yet perfectly formed, enclosed terrace that catches the sunshine, with a wonderful outlook across Exmoor. Sit back on the garden furniture and enjoy the views.

Owners friendly and happy to accept feedback , so potentially will fix any issues. Property very clean, tidy, and has a well appointed kitchen . Clients are advised to have their own torch, as returning to the property at night is awkward as there are steps and the outdoor light switches are inside the property.

A quiet and restful retreat in a perfect setting with friendly hosts and wonderful views across the valley. We visited Dunster, Minehead, Selworthy, Bossington, Porlock, Dulverton and Wiveliscombe. We also drove via Exford and Simonsbath across the stunning moorland to Lynton and Lynmouth before stopping at The Blue Ball at Countisbury. Tarr Steps Read moreis also a must to visit simply for their cream tea! Our dogs loved the green area next to the local pub which serves very good carvery Sunday lunches Hide

We found the cottage to be both charming and practical. Having a seperate well equiped kitchen was a bonus.
