The region
Peace, tranquillity and nature are available at Oare Manor Cottage and its surrounds in equal measure. Exmoor is truly a unique area in England where rugged coastline meets the outstanding beauty of the moors and surrounding countryside. Nothing else in England comes close to matching the fantastic contrasting scenery that you will find in this stunning place. Exmoor National Park is an area of 267 square miles and the valley in which the cottage sits is entirely peaceful with absolutely no noise or light pollution. You can sit in the garden and marvel at the complete peacefulness, the total lack of road noise, the absence of aircraft noise and a sense of tranquillity that is increasingly hard to find.

From the rugged coastline that features the highest cliffs in England to the moors that rise up to 1500 ft this is not surprisingly a paradise for wild birds and animals. There is even the possibility of spotting one of the beasts of Exmoor, a breed of Big Cat closely associated with the Puma that is believed to be not merely present but quite probably increasing in number. Though seldom seen there are plenty of photographs of their footprints and evidence from farmers that the Big Cat is alive and well in this part of the world. But you are far more likely to see the wild red deer, the Exmoor Ponies that roam freely over the moor, kestrels, snipe, and along the coastline rare peregrine falcons, curlews and even oyster catchers. In the rivers you could be lucky enough to see otters which at one time were close to extinction but are now making a comeback.

Oare Manor Cottage is homely and comfortable. Extremely well equipped and furnished. The location is superb and ideally suited to a family holiday. This was our second visit, we love it! Thank you to the team who keep it beautifully presented. We hope to return.

Everything about this property I could not fault. Everything a guest would need was catered for. An idyllic setting between Lynton/Lynmouth and Porlock. You must have a car and the only recommendation I would have for the property would be to have an electric car charger pod. I have a Hybrid so it was ok but there are no chargers nearby that I could find it would have been perfect to charge my car every night. Even if it was chargeable to the guest. The hosts could not have been more helpful. 5r stars from me!!

A lovely spacious house with character (as you can see in the photos). We were 3 adults and 4 teenagers and there were lots of spaces to come together or to find some peace and quiet. Comfy beds. Opportunity to eat in conservatory or garden, which has lovely views. Nearest shop for milk etc. is Cloud Farm Campsite, or 15-20 min drives to Porlock or Lynton. Lots of great walks (including to pubs) and bike rides from the house, and it is about 1 hour on foot to a pebble beach (big hills both ways) where we went twice and met nobody.

The location of the property provides stunning views across and along the valley - being higher up you do not feel hemmed in nor lose the sun early. The house was spotlessly clean with lovely touches such as fresh flowers in the rooms. Our bed was huge and very comfortable - so we woke refreshed to that stunning view. The house and garden are also very private and secure for the dogs. Having been given a low occupancy discount we were very happy with the accommodation provided although I think I might have been less so had we been a group of eight paying full price.
