About this property
2 bed rural retreat nestled in the heart of Exmoor
Mannacott Farm, brought to you by Cottages On The Coast, is set in the heart of Exmoor on a 300 acre working beef and sheep farm. Set in the middle of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it commands scenic views of the valley below and the moors in the distance. The property itself is a wing of the original 17th century farmhouse and is perfect for a cosy cottage holiday. Furnished in a traditional ‘country cottages’ style, it retains some of it’s original features including the impressive stone fireplace in the kitchen. This property is great value for money and is the ideal base for exploring Exmoor and the greater North Devon region. Perfect for many occasions - including a family holiday, a walking holiday or a romantic retreat to escape it all. There are many treasures to explore nearby, including a walking trail to the picturesque Heddons Mouth Cove which is only a mile away. There is so much to see and do, you will need another stay to Mannacott Farm just to fit it all in.
The property itself has two bedrooms and a roomy living space. On the ground floor there is a entrance hall leading on to the country cottage style kitchen. The kitchen table sits in front original stone fireplace and provides the perfect setting for meals together. There is a good size living room, with comfortable sofas and a wood burning stove, so you can sit back and relax in the glow of the fire during those cooler evenings. On the first floor there are two bedrooms, both furnished with solid wood furniture, and a family bathroom. The property benefits from a small, south facing patio area and sloped lawned garden to the side and the rear. Due to it’s location the farm is a haven for wildlife. So, sit back with a coffee in hand and enjoy the serenity of nature all around you – who knows what you may see?
Mannacott Farm is situated in an elevated countryside position, just outside the small hamlet of Martinhoe. The delightful villages of Lynton and Lynmouth are only 4 miles away, where you will find lots do to and see. If you are feeling adventurous, why not take the coastal road to Lynton, where you will discover some fantastic scenery, including the famous, Valley Of The Rocks. If you fancy exploring other areas of North Devon, then the magnificent sandy, surfing beaches of Woolacombe Bay and Croyde are just a 30 minute car journey away.
Mannacott Farm is perfect escape to the country, for those wanting to get away from it all and explore all that Exmoor has to offer.
