Character Cottage on Exmoor

Smiddy Cottage is a charming and characterful retreat tucked away within West Hollowcombe Farm, offering a peaceful escape for up to four guests in the heart of Exmoor National Park.

Thought to originally be the farm blacksmith's workshop, the cottage has been thoughtfully converted while retaining much of its original charm. The accommodation includes a comfortable bedroom which can be arranged as either a super-king or twin room, together with a cosy mezzanine sleeping area accessed by ladder, creating a unique and memorable space for families, couples and adventurous guests.

The open-plan living area centres around a traditional log burner, making Smiddy particularly inviting throughout the year. Large windows frame beautiful countryside views, while the private terrace provides the perfect spot for morning coffee, outdoor dining or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the surrounding landscape.

Guests have access to the wider West Hollowcombe Farm estate, including ancient woodland, riverside walks, a children's play area and 55 acres of beautiful Exmoor countryside. Whether you're looking for long walks, wildlife watching, wild swimming or simply a chance to switch off and relax, everything is right on your doorstep.

Located close to Tarr Steps, Dulverton, Withypool and the stunning North Devon coastline, Smiddy Cottage is ideally placed for exploring one of England's most beautiful national parks.
The cottage features 2 bedrooms.
