Good value for money, well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and linen. The road is fairly busy with farm traffic and cars so can be noisy. Beautiful views. Fresh eggs available next door. Good location for visiting the coast and local beauty spots.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Wheddon Cross is a village in the parish of Cutcombe on Exmoor, based around the crossroads; the roads run from north to south between Minehead and Dulverton, and east to west between Taunton and North Devon. The village is argued to be the highest on Exmoor, standing at 980 feet above sea level, and the highest point on Exmoor, Dunkery Beacon (1704 feet above sea level) is the focal point of the village. Dunkery Beacon is about three miles from the village, there are fantastic panoramic views from Dunkery; wild moorland to the west, the Bristol Channel and Wales to the north, the rolling Brendon Hills to the east and the Quarme Valley to the south.

In recent years the village has become famous for the abundance of snowdrops in the nearby valley which has become known as 'Snowdrop Valley'. The snowdrops bloom around February and a park and ride system operates from the village to enable visitors easy access to the "carpet of snowdrops".

Wheddon Cross is surrounded by beautiful countryside; open moorland, wooded valleys and farmland. An abundance of wildlife can often be seen, including Exmoor ponies and red deer. There are a number of marked footpaths and bridleways, including the famous Coleridge Way which passes through.

The local church is St. John's in Cutcombe, it dates back to the Norman Conquest and was mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086). St John has a 13th-century tower and has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building.

Wheddon Cross is a thriving community and offers good local services for a small village. The village shop is a well-stocked mini-supermarket incorporating a Post Office counter, petrol pumps, cash point machine and has good opening hours. The Rest & Be Thankful Inn is the village pub which serves food and is child and dog friendly. The village also has a first school, village hall, playing field, public conveniences, and local bus services running through.

Minehead is the nearest town, approximately 9 miles away. Here you will find the larger supermarkets and petrol stations (Tesco, Morrison's and Lidl are situated on the outskirts of the town), high street banks with cash machines, plus a range of other shops throughout the town.
