About this property
Tanglewood: idyllic two-bedroom cottage in Exmoor National Park
Tanglewood is less than a mile from the friendly Exmoor National Park village of Porlock, with its excellent range of shops, pubs and restaurants. Well-equipped and cosy, and with wireless internet access, the cottage has a large private garden bordered by a pretty stream. It offers easy access to coast and moor, with excellent opportunities for walking and site-seeing.
Tanglewood is a detached cottage on a quiet track in Hawkcombe Woods, a National Nature Reserve - so it provides peace and seclusion, while being within an easy walk of the village.
It has two bedrooms: one with a king-size bed and the other with two single beds. It has a well equipped kitchen, large lounge with cosy wood-effect stove and dining area and a sunny conservatory that allows you to enjoy the views across the valley whatever the time of year.
Outside, there is a raised terrace with table and chairs that overlooks the garden. There is also a table and chairs at the bottom of the garden, from which you can listen to the rush of the stream.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Katharine & Barry King
We live in Surrey and spend as much time as we can at our holiday cottage. Having holidayed in Exmoor for many years, we were thrilled to buy Tanglewood in 2015. We love waking up in the morning in our secluded cottage in the woods, then being able to wander into Porlock for tea and cake in the afternoon!
Why they chose this property
Tanglewood offers an amazing combination: it is a charming detached cottage in the woods at Hawkcombe, yet only fifteen minutes walk from the restaurants and pubs in the lovely village of Porlock.
What makes this property unique
With its large private garden, bordered by the rushing Hawkcombe stream, Tanglewood is a peaceful and enchanting place to stay.
