A wonderfully peaceful place with beautiful walks on the doorstep. Everything you could need is provided, including bowls, bed and towels for your dog. Don't forget your map or satnav though because the winding lanes with their high hedges soon make you lose your bearings!

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
Withypool is a small, quiet, unspoilt village in Somerset near the centre of the Exmoor National Park. Interestingly the name Withy means Willow of which many can be seen along the riverbank.

Withypool is situated within the Barle Valley with the River Barle running through the middle. The Two Moors Way walk also passes through the village. To the southwest of the Village lies Withypool Common and Withypool Hill.

The area of Withypool has a population of approximately 200 and has been inhabited since the Bronze Age. A stone circle can still be seen on top of Withypool Hill. Withypool is mentioned in the Domesday Book and in the 14th century Geoffrey Chaucer was in charge of the village in his duties as forester of North Petherton. Other such notable connections are that the artist Alfred Munnings had a studio in the loft of the Royal Oak (the village pub) and R.D Blackmore wrote part of Lorna Doone in the bar.

There is also a local shop, post office and tea rooms within the village within easy walking distance.
