Heather Cottage, Riscombe Farm, Exmoor

Leone & Brian Martin would like to welcome you to Riscombe Farm self catering holiday cottages, high quality accommodation in the heart of Exmoor National Park, near the border of Somerset and Devon in the West Country of England (see location). We are 10 minutes drive from the coast and 15 miles from Minehead. Our beautiful area has recently received a lot of coverage on BBC TV by wildlife enthusiast Johnny Kingdom and very positive coverage on BBC's Autumnwatch in October ("A magical place ... just get in the car and head for Exmoor" - see the video clip on our About Exmoor page). The farm is over 300 years old, and is in a peaceful, relaxing location beside the River Exe, near the beautiful village of Exford. Stroll along our riverside fields and through the woodland, and relax in one of our beautiful cottages after a day out enjoying Exmoor and the nearby majestic coast. We are pet friendly and have stabling if you want to bring your horse.
