About the host
Hosted by Tess Lakin
As a family we have been visiting North and South Devon for over 40 years. It became our second home and so nearly 30 years ago we invested in our beautiful Exmoor Cottage to enjoy as a family. 10 years ago we decided that we would love others to enjoy it as much as we do and it is now a holiday let available all year round.
As a family we also have our collection of 'homes by the sea'. We are very proud of them and their fantastic locations in Croyde (North Devon) and Salcombe (South Devon)
We hope our guests enjoy them just as much as we do!

Why they chose this property
This beautiful cottage has been in our family for over 40 years and we are very proud of it with its original features, being once upon a time the old Blacksmith's Workshop. We refurbished it once again 8 years ago to become the quaint and cosy holiday let it is today. We still very much use it as a family but now welcome our guests to enjoy staying here just as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
Exmoor is one of 15 UK National Parks and an International Dark Sky Reserve. Famous for its wild deer and ponies, dramatic coastline and rugged heather moorland, there’s plenty to see and do.
Exford is a very pretty village right in the heart of Exmoor, so if you want to go for a relaxing drive through the moors or even take your bicycle, there is so much to explore in every which way you choose!
