“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”

“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.

“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.

“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.
Mr Hughes April 2018

“This cottage was one of the very best we have stayed in for the following reasons,the secluded setting in it's own grounds,the cleanliness and cosy atmosphere,it was also very well equipped with the bits and pieces that made it areal home from home.”

We would also note that Angie the housekeeper was on call to help if needed and obviously keeps the cottage up to a very high standard.We have plans to return!!!Thank you.

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.
