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.

Absolutely gorgeous cottage. Fabulous peaceful location in the Doone Valley, with the Coleridge Way right on your doorstep. We arrived on a wet, windy December evening and the cottage was toasty with welcoming lights on for us. Walking into the fairy light lit conversatory with its underfloor heating gave the cottage a magical feeling and set the tone of our holiday. Loads of space, beautifully clean, and a huge welcome basket filled with biscuits, nuts, crisps and wine. We couldn't finish it all! The farm at the end of the road has a honesty box selling duck eggs which make delicious fry ups before you set off on numerous walks straight from the cottage. We bought all the eggs during our stay! This is the second property I've booked through Best of Exmoor, and you cannot fault them. Incredibly simple booking process, high standard of properties, and great communication and info. Why go anywhere else?!

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.

A wonderful cottage in a stunning location, perfect for us and our dogs. The little extras and attention to detail were second to none and met our needs in every way. We would certainly re visit.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location. So quiet and peaceful. We stayed with our 3 daughters and had a wonderful time. My daughter loved visiting the horses and donkey in a nearby field. We had a nice walk from the house to the sea. We also visited Lynmouth, Lynton and Illfracombe. All very nice. The house is very comfortable with lots of attention to detail. Oggi was very helpful when we needed help with a spare key. A great time had by all.
