About the host

Hosted by Chris

Withypool is just over a mile from Hillway Lodge, it's a small village in a truly beautiful setting at the heart of the Exmoor National Park. The River Barle runs right through the village and the Grade II listed arch-bridge crosses it to link the two sides of the village. To the southwest of the village lie Withypool Common and Withypool Hill, fantastic for walking and glorious views. It is believed that the area around Withypool has been inhabited since the Bronze Age, a stone circle can still be seen on top of Withypool Hill. The Two Moors Way passes through the village, it's a well-marked walking route.

The Royal Oak Inn, the village pub, has seen its share of history since its construction in the late 17th century. It is believed that R. D. Blackmore wrote part of the 'Lorna Doone' novel in this bar. The pub serves food and is dog and family friendly.

The Village Shop is open throughout the year, stocking a wide range of items including fresh fruit and vegetables, locally source diary produces, fresh bread, alcohol, soft drinks, household items, cards, newspapers and magazines, gifts, guide books and souvenirs. It's also the local Post Office and opposite is the village tea room which offers the classic local cream team as well as light savoury meals. Please support our local traders.

Just two miles upstream from Withypool is the delightful Landacre Bridge, a late medieval five-arch stone bridge, a great place for paddling and picnicking in good weather.

If you drive across stunning Winsford Hill, with its wild Exmoor ponies, you come to charming Dulverton with a range of independent stores to explore, a popular bakery and the co-op.

The rugged appeal of the North Devon coastline and miles of beach for surfing are to the NorthWest, just ten miles from the cottage lies Porlock bay, known for its fine views, oysters and of course fish.
