About this property
Beautiful family home sleeps 8- 12 perched above the sea on the edge of Exmoor.
Spend a short break or long weekend with family and friends. Ideal for get togethers and re-unions this lovely large family home high on North Hill with fabulous views over the sea just a 3 minute walk to the quay. Set in an acre of rambling gardens which lead directly onto Exmoor and the South West footpath.
Gentleman's residence built in 1902 currently being lovingly restored as a family home with all its character and quirks. (Please be clear, this is not a perfect boutique hotel!!)
Comfortable bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen and large dining area make this a fabulous location for a long weekend.
Fireplaces with roaring logs to welcome the family back into cosy warmth after a strapping walk or day out in the cold.
The house is equipped with traditional board games and there are plenty of books as well as a grand piano and musical instruments. Wifi is provided for those who prefer a game a movie or to work away from the office.
There are patios for sitting out and enjoying a barbeque or to gather round a firepit in the summer evenings.
Dog friendly and perfect for bird watching, ornithology, walking, cycling, astronomy and dark skies a real eco holiday in one of the most beautiful settings.
