Self
Catering Holiday Cottages
Self catering
accommodation located in the heart of Exmoor country (see location),
near the picturesque village of Exford, Somerset, close to the border
with Devon. Our four very comfortable stone self catering holiday cottages
were converted from barns and this accommodation retains the old character
of these buildings. They sleep 2, 4, 5 and 6 people, in one, two and three
bedroom cottages. These and the stables are set around a large courtyard,
which provides ample parking. Pets are welcome and stabling
is available for your horse. Riscombe is the perfect base for your holiday.
See Prices & Availability for current prices
and vacancies.
All the cottages
are fully self-contained and well-equipped, with radio/CD player, satellite
TV and DVD player. There are log fires in the three larger cottages. There
are baths and showers in each cottage. Bed linen is provided. We
welcome well-behaved pets, and we are open all year.
There are two Games Rooms, Laundry plus Drying Room and a secure Cycle
storage room. All cottages are non-smoking.

Wi-Fi
is available free in all of our cottages (although poorer reception
in Fern), so bring your lap top if you need it. Otherwise, just leave
computers and mobiles at home and come to the tranquillity of Exmoor!

Please note
that many couples book one of the larger cottages to have more room and
more facilities, so if there are only two of you don't just look at Gorse
Cottage!
Heather
Cottage: Sleeps up to 6 people in 3 downstairs bedrooms (one
with a double and two twin bedrooms). Upstairs, under the original exposed
beams, is the spacious living/dining/kitchen area with a wood-burning
stove and a bathroom with a bath and separate shower. Steps up to the
front door and downstairs one door leads into the courtyard and another
opens to the small private garden looking down to the river. If needed,
we can fit a Z-bed in one of the twin rooms to increase the occupancy
to 7 people, but this incurs an additional charge of £35 for one
week.
Bracken
Cottage: Sleeps up to 5 people in 2 downstairs bedrooms (one
with a double bed and one with 3 singles), and a bathroom with a bath
and a separate shower. Upstairs, under the exposed original beams, is
the spacious living/dining room with a wood-burning stove and a separate
kitchen area. Steps up to the front door and an additional door to the
courtyard downstairs. There is a shared, separate small garden area looking
down to the river.
Fern
Cottage: Sleeps up to 4 people in 2 bedrooms comprising a double
and a twin. There is a living/dining room with a wood-burning stove, a
kitchen and a bathroom with a bath and a separate shower. As well as the
front door from the courtyard, there is a door which opens to the small
private garden looking down to the river. Fern Cottage is all on one level
with no steps and is therefore suitable for the partially mobile.
Gorse
Cottage: Sleeps 2 people upstairs in a double room adjacent to
a bathroom with a shower/bath. Downstairs is a cosy living/dining/kitchen
room. The cottage also has a fully enclosed stone porch ... a good place
to keep outdoor clothing and boots out of the cottage, and to wipe the
dog down! There is a shared, separate small garden area looking down to
the river.
General
Information: All cottages are double-glazed and well-equipped
with full-size beds, comfortable suites, heated towel rails and personal
touches including hand-made quilts, original pictures and ornaments, plus
books, games and puzzles. They all have an electric cooker, fridge with
freezer compartment, microwave oven, TV (with free satellite channels),
DVD player and a radio/CD player. All bed linen, duvets and tea towels
are provided, and beds are made up for your arrival. Please bring your
own towels, although towel sets can be hired. We provide all cleaning
materials, soap and lavatory paper. The three larger cottages each have
a wood-burning stove, and wood is supplied free. Other heating is by convection
heaters. Electricity is by a £1 coin meter, charged at the normal
