Stunning location beautiful accommodation

What a beautiful little find, we were met at the property by the lovely owner, a couple of very cute little dogs and a beautiful cat called Elvis and later some chickens and two very sweet little goats roaming free. The pod/cabin/accommodation is nestled in the side of a hill with stunning views, and even though there was a storm one night it was calm and quiet in the pod. The fit and finish of the accommodation is absolutely top class and spotlessly clean and the bed was so comfortable!! There are no cooking facilities as such, just a microwave, toaster and kettle but this in no way detracts from the experience, we were there to relax and unwind. There is a pub at the end of the lane to the property (about a mile) where we had a lovely meal one night. We have already booked another visit and hopefully the sun will join us this time but it won't spoil it even if it doesn't.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

The Brendon Hills are a range of hills in West Somerset, they merge level into the eastern side of Exmoor and part of the range is included within the Exmoor National Park. The beauty of the hills are definitely worth exploring, but there is also Exmoor National Park on the doorstep and the Quantock Hills (AONB) within a short drive also.

Clatworthy Reservoir is nearby, just across a few fields. There are seven water inlets but generally, the south bank is considered to be the best area for fishing (licence needed). Wimbleball Lake is approximately 5 miles away and has a variety of walking and cycle trails plus a range of watersports on offer, such as canoeing, zorbing, windsurfing, paddle boarding, and sailing.

The ancient harbour town of Watchet is just 7 miles away. It's a small picturesque town nestled on the West Somerset coastline, but packs a lot in! It has an active marina, steam train station, old port, museums, shops, restaurants, pubs and a new community venture with art galleries and not-for-profit cafe. From Easter onwards there is a weekly Wednesday market and every first Sunday of the month, there is an eclectic craft, artisan and food market.

Visit the seaside town of Minehead which is 20 minutes easy drive away. The town has the oldest links golf course in Somerset, is the terminus of the steam railway (with turntable) and offers many attractions with mini golf, numerous pubs and cafes and walks on North Hill with its own herd of Exmoor ponies.

En route to Minehead, why not visit Dunster with it's National Trust castle and famous yarn market.

Or visit further afield, walk to Heddon's Mouth along the River Heddon with lunch at Hunter's Inn or swim at Woody Bay. Take the Victorian Clifftop Railway from Lynmouth on the coast to Lynton at the top of the highest seaside cliffs in England.

For the more adventurous, the award winning surfing beaches of North Devon such as Croyde, Saunton Sands and Woolacombe are a 90 minute drive across the moor.
