About this property

East Harwood Farm Cottage, Timberscombe

East Harwood Farm Cottage is secluded, and set high up in Exmoor National Park above Timberscombe. It has a tranquil setting, with stunning views. Ideal for walkers, and close to the coast. The cottage is 200 years old and adjoins the owner's farmhouse. Sorry, no under 5's. Dogs and horses welcome. East Harwood Farm Cottage near Timberscombe is a pretty cottage with countryside views from every window at the front of the house. The property is stone built and is attached at one corner to the owners farmhouse next door. The farm has a unique vantage point across the valley, with barely another property in sight. Very quiet and secluded.

Sorry, but we are unable to accept children under 5 years, as this is a working farm with ponds and livestock. We also do NOT accept smokers.

Sleeps up to 4 guests in two bedrooms - note, low occupancy discount applies only if only one bedroom is used.

Open-plan sitting room with dining table.
Wood-burner in the sitting room plus central heating throughout.
Well-equipped kitchen with modern range cooker.
One king-sized double and one twin bedroom, both upstairs.
Low-occupancy discount applicable if only one bedroom is used
Upstairs family bathroom with shower over bath.
Patio area directly outside with table and chairs.
Picnic table and barbecue for guest use on a lower lawn.

Local pub in Timberscombe (approx 1.5 miles), currently drinks only.
Wifi - but being a rural area, this is not the fastest. Outside the summer period we provide a basket of logs for the fire. Additional baskets available on-site for £5 each
Bed linen and towels are provided.

Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome by prior arrangement and for a supplementary fee of £15 per dog. We suggest you keep an eye on your dog if they are likely to go exploring. There is access to the moors via bridle paths. For those bringing horses, it is a 20 minute hack to the moors.

If you wish to bring your horse on holiday with you there are 3 stables with rubber matting available to rent, for £20 per horse per night, with one bale of shavings included per horse. Sorry, no turnout.

To comply with the owner's insurance policy there is no access to the farm itself or the owner's garden. Please note that guests are not insured when outside the cottage.

Lovely cosy property and a warm welcome
The property was exactly as listed - perfect and cosy. The weather was unkind but this did not spoil our stay. The cottage is a great place to stay to explore Exmoor and the coastline, and then return for a warm log fire in the evening. Jane and Brian were the perfect hosts - on hand when needed for suggestions/recommendations, but unobtrusive even though are living next door. We would definitely recommend!!!

A beautifully furnished cottage with a stunning view over the hills. The kitchen was well equipped and the sitting area super cosy to relax in. The bedroom was really nice and the bed was so comfortable. Jane and Brian are extremely friendly, helpful and thoughtful hosts. Definitely a great place to stay and I'd highly recommend it.

This is a lovely cottage and an excellent location for exploring Exmoor. You can do some lovely walks without the need to drive but if you're not up for the big hills then a short drive takes you to the edge of the moor and lots of beautiful walks and views that are accessible for most people. The owners, Jane and Brian, are most excellent hosts and on hand whenever you need them.

Such a comfortable and lovely cottage, with a perfect atmosphere and BREATHTAKING views! Great location for walks along the coast, rivers or moors (with a little drive in each direction). The cottage is well equipped, we wanted for nothing... a great place to catch up on some sleep and enjoy the fresh air. We left with thanks to Jane and Brian for a great stay.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
Timberscombe is a charming village, which has a pub (drinks only), church and Post Office.

Dunster (3 miles from Timberscombe) is generally recognised as one of the most perfectly-preserved medieval villages in England. There are many attractive and historic features, including a 17th century watermill (which still grinds flour), a pack horse bridge and of course Dunster Castle, owned and managed by the National Trust.

The coast can be accessed at Dunster beach or Minehead, or further west at Porlock Weir or Lynmouth (shingle beaches). North Devon's sandy beaches are an hour away by car. The South West Coastal Path starts at Minehead, some 15 minutes away by car.

East Harwood Farm is in the heart of Exmoor National Park, which has numerous walks and longer trails, including popular beauty spots like Tarr Steps, Webber's Post and Landacre Bridge. Dunkery Beacon, the highest point on Exmoor, can be reached on foot, or in 15 minutes by car.

In recent years a wood in the valley has become famous for the abundance of snowdrops, hence the area has become known as 'Snowdrop Valley'. The snowdrops bloom from the end of January for about three weeks. The Valley is a 25 minute walk from the Farm.
