“Heyden Cottage is a really great location if you want to be a little bit away from things in the woods.”

It's super good for our dogs with beautiful walks just outside the door. I think this is the 5th year we have stayed at this cottage and will certainly return again next year. The cottage is well kept and is as fresh and clean now as the first year we stayed there. It's a home from home for us.

“We've been coming to Heyden Cottage for nearly 10 years now and it still holds the same charm for us as it did the first time we came.”

We had a couple of issues on the first day but a quick phone call and they were sorted out within 24 hours with a follow up call to make sure everything was ok. That's service! Looking forward to our next visit.

“We visited the cottage on a cold week in early March.”

Central heating fine, masses of logs for fires, but upstairs bathroom was rather chilly, though downstairs shower room was snug. Otherwise all good.

“The cottage is lovely, very peaceful and quiet.”

HH were just the booking agent and we had no contact with them in person so can't really comment on that aspect! Angie however is great, there were lovely welcoming & Christmassy touches left for us and she rang us to make sure we were happy in the cottage. It was a fabulous Christmas break in a great cottage - we'd all love to go back!

“Lovely location”
Dr Lane August 2018

“Lovely cottage on edge of beautiful woodland with loads of tracks to explore.”
Mr Tillott August 2018

“The cottage owner has it nailed.”

The property is lovely. A home from home and the midweek phone call to check everything is ok is great. It was so good I wanted to move in permanently
Mrs Fowler August 2018

“The premises were very good - very comfortable and spacious and the location was excellent.”

The only drawbacks were no phone signal and no tv although we don't watch tv much so it didn't affect us. Definitely recommended.
Mrs Steels June 2018

“Amazing cottage, we had a great week.”

Everything we needed and more was supplied, really helpful caretaker Angie who was keen to ensure we had a comfortable stay. Kids loved the garden and surrounding woods which were great to explore. Really homely kitchen with big table and sofa where we spent most of the time when not in the garden. Lounge not so relaxing, not sure why just missing something, so didn't really use it. Loved the welcome info pack owner has a great sense of humour. Would thouroghly recommend especially with children, hardly noticed road, we knew the area well so knew it would be the perfect location for exploring exmoor both by car and from the front door.
Mrs Barker May 2018

“My granddaughter said “It was like walking into a dream” when we arrived at the cottage.”

We all loved it there. It was relaxing and peaceful. We would definitely go back. Wish it slept 8 so my son could come as well as my daughter.

The property

On the edge of a large and beautiful wood, Heyden Cottage is a wonderful moorland Exmoor cottage found at the end of its own private uneven drive.

With fabulous walks and mountain bike trails from the door and views across moorland from most windows it sits in a magical spot, great for stargazing.

Inside there’s a huge heart-of-the-house kitchen with dining table/chairs and a sofa plus wood burning stove to relax in front of after a hard day exploring the hills.

There’s also a cosy sitting room with an open fire and also a ground floor WC and shower room.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, a double, twin and a single plus another bathroom with separate shower.

Outside a suntrap courtyard with table/chairs and beyond the woodland and orchard to discover.

From this unique base you can explore the very best of Exmoor; visit the hilltop castle of Dunster, take a trip to the idyllic National Trust village of Selworthy and explore the coastal village of Porlock.

The resort town of Minehead is just 1 and a half miles away and is also worth a visit if you can drag yourself away from such a tranquil base.

About the location

MINEHEAD

Taunton 24 miles; Bridgwater 27 miles.

The popular seaside resort of Minehead occupies a wonderful sheltered spot beneath the dramatic North Hill, on the lovely West Somerset Coast. This welcoming town boasts a mile long esplanade, providing a wonderful backdrop to the golden beach, whilst the pretty harbour, visited in the summer by the famous paddle steamer Waverley, offers excellent fishing opportunities. Enjoy a nostalgic steam train journey from the seafront on the West Somerset Railway, or visit Blenheim Gardens, winner of many awards for its beautiful floral displays. Renowned for the largest herd of red deer in England, Exmoor National Park with its wooded valleys, pretty bridlepaths and heather clad moors, is well worth a visit, whilst the magnificent Norman Castle at nearby Dunster is a must.
