Exmoor, Somerset

Raleigh Lodge, situated in the picturesque Exmoor region of Somerset in South West England, is a charming cottage that offers a unique retreat in the woods. Accommodating up to six guests across three beautifully designed bedrooms, the lodge is set in a scenic area characterized by expansive views of river valleys, fields, and woodlands, ultimately leading to the sea. Guests can explore the surrounding countryside via nearby footpaths that lead to notable locations such as Dunkery Beacon and Porlock Weir, with opportunities for peaceful walks through enchanting woodlands and heather-clad moors. The tranquility of the area is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Originally the stables of a Victorian Manor, Raleigh Lodge has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its original character while offering modern comforts. The interior is cozy and inviting, featuring charming decor that makes guests feel at home. The Stable Bedroom, with its historical features, is a particular highlight for horse enthusiasts. For larger groups, there is an option to rent a Shepherds Hut for an additional fee, allowing for a total capacity of eight guests. The lodge provides a relaxing environment, complete with an open fire and comfortable seating, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploration.

The lodge is situated on a 35-acre estate that practices organic farming, where rare breed sheep and cattle roam the fields, and seasonal produce is cultivated. Guests have the unique opportunity to enjoy fresh, local ingredients prepared by a local chef, available for hire during their stay. The nearby village of Wheddon Cross, located less than a mile away, offers essential amenities including a shop, a garage-cum-Post Office, and a family-friendly pub, The Rest & Be Thankful Inn, known for its traditional home-cooked meals.

For those seeking additional experiences, the market town of Dulverton is a short drive away, offering independent shops, tea rooms, and award-winning pubs. Minehead, with its coastal attractions, and Dunster, featuring a medieval castle and quaint market house, are also within easy reach.
