Oare Manor Cottage、Oare-宿泊可能6

Malmsmead is a tiny hamlet deep in the heart of Exmoor, famous as the gateway to the Doone Valley from R.D. Blackmore's novel "Lorna Doone". Beautifully remote and unspoilt.

The hamlet sits on the border of Devon and Somerset, where Badgworthy Water flows beneath a beautiful 17th-century packhorse bridge. The surrounding landscape of wooded river valleys, open moorland, and ancient oak woodland is home to red deer, Exmoor ponies, otters, and kingfishers. The area falls within the Exmoor International Dark Sky Reserve, offering exceptional stargazing on clear nights.

The neighbouring hamlet of Oare is best known for its medieval church of St Mary, the setting for the dramatic wedding scene in "Lorna Doone". Oare Church is always open to visitors and is a short walk or drive from Malmsmead.

Malmsmead is a wonderfully remote location. For everyday amenities, the village of Porlock is approximately 7 miles to the east and has grocery shops, a traditional butcher, Post Office, chemist, cash machine, hardware shop, visitor centre, and a range of independent restaurants and tea rooms. Lynton and Lynmouth are approximately 6 miles in the opposite direction and offer similar amenities. For larger supermarkets, Minehead is approximately 12 miles away, where you will find Tesco, Lidl, and Morrisons.
