The cottage sleeps up to 2 guests in one bedroom which has a king-sized, four poster bed. Main Description Brook Cottage in Challacombe was originally built as an agricultural dwelling. Some years ago two bedrooms were made into one spacious double aspect room. In addition, a sun-room and a downstairs cloakroom were added and comprehensive insulation installed. The wood burning stove was recently replaced. Sleeps 2 guests in one double bedroom with a King-sized, four poster bed. Spacious sitting room with dining area. Wood-burner in the sitting room. Upstairs bathroom. Bath with overhead shower, plus downstairs cloakroom with WC. Sun-room attached to the sitting room. Enclosed garden to the rear of the property with lovely countryside views. Parking for two cars on the forecourt at the front. Dogs welcome (2 max) for £15 supplement per dog. WiFi and electricity included. Logs for the stove are provided free of charge. 32" TV with Firestick. Bed linen and towels provided. Arrive from 4 pm. Depart by 10 am. The historical village of Challacombe is in a rural location in Exmoor Park, but within easy reach of Barnstaple, Lynton and the market town of South Molton. There are footpaths and bridleways from Challacombe to the moor and the surrounding countryside, making it ideal for walking, riding, cycling and sightseeing. There is an abundance of wildlife in the area, with butterflies, birds, such as pheasants, buzzards and barn owls. The field behind Brook Cottage is farmland and you will see sheep or horses, or even cattle grazing outside the gate. Please do not feed the horses. There are roe deer in the woods beyond the field, so if you are very lucky your may see one or two. If you want to see red deer, you need to go up on the moors, although recently a couple of stags were sen on the hill opposite. On clear nights, the sky is spectacular. Please note, mobile phone signal in the cottage is not reliable. We recommend using the internet provided for making WiFi calls. It is possible to get reception if you stop at a lay-by on the way to the A399 (just over a mile from the cottage). Indoor Description Inside the front door is a small entrance porch ideal for drying coats and muddy boots. The kitchen is to your left as you enter, and the open-plan sitting room and dining area to the right. There is a cloakroom with WC downstairs. French doors lead from the sitting room to the sun-room that makes the most of the chance to sit and enjoy the lovely view over the combe beyond the garden. A sliding door gives access to a patio that is also reached by french doors at the West end and another sliding door from the dining area. Upstairs is the large double aspect bedroom with lovely views. It has a King-sized four-poster bed and there is ample hanging space in the wardrobes and a chest of drawers. The bathroom is off the upstairs landing, which has a bath with overhead shower, hand basin and loo. Water heating is electric and controlled by a timer switch on the landing. The second bedroom is only used for storage of laundry and cleaning equipment. The house is double glazed and well insulated. The wood-burner is very efficient at heating the cottage. Logs are provided; the log store is to the right of the front door. Plug in electric heaters are provided for additional heat should you require them. Please bear in mind that on chilly days, the best means of keeping the house cosy is the log burner. There is a 32" TV with a Firestick giving Internet TV access.

Outdoor Description Outside the sliding door from the dining area there is a small terrace with table and chairs that opens to the patio fronting the sun room. Two loungers are provided. A couple of steps go down at each end to the garden which is well enclosed by fencing. There are lovely views over the neighbouring fields across the combe. Please ensure that dogs do not escape from the garden as horses are kept in the fields at the end and sheep are frequently grazed there. It is possible that cattle, both cows and a bull or bullocks may be grazed occasionally as well. Please note that the fields are connected and what seems to be an empty field beyond the gate may suddenly be busy with a flock of sheep. There is a hose point at the front of the cottage for rinsing boots and muddy dogs. Challacombe, though a tiny village, boasts a delightful little village shop and Post Office that stocks the essentials. Home-cooked frozen takeaway meals are sometimes available. For more particular supplies we suggest pre-ordering from your supermarket or going to the village shop in Bratton Flemming or the Pavillion Community Shop in Parracombe that also serves teas and light food. South Molton is a charming market town eleven miles away that has a Sainsburys supermarket and the famous Pannier market on Thursdays and Saturdays. Tesco, Sainsburys and Asda deliver to the area and all have outlets in Barnstaple. The Black Venus Inn is very popular with locals and is known far and wide for its very good kitchen. You are advised to check for bookings as it sometimes fills up. Parking There is parking for two cars on the forecourt to the front of the property. We recommend reversing in, to make pulling out easier. Pets Description Well-behaved dogs welcome. Doggy blankets and throws can be found in the sunroom. Please dispose of dog waste in the bin provided in the garden and make sure you check the garden before you leave. Restricted mobility This has not been completed by the owner. Exit in case of emergency font door or back doors. Fire extinguisher inside front inner door. Please note: The two smoke alarms are very sensitive and may be set off by as little as burnt toast. To turn off the alarm the one at the head of the stairs must be pressed as they are linked. Christmas / New Year For the time being Brook Cottage is not available in the depths of winter. The region Challacombe is a remote, unspoilt village high on the northern slopes of Exmoor, surrounded by open moorland, deep combes, and some of the most peaceful countryside in Devon. Set at over 300 metres above sea level, this tiny hamlet feels truly away from it all. Stone cottages cluster around a quiet lane, with the village pub -- The Black Venus Inn -- at the centre of local life. The 13th-century Church of the Holy Trinity stands nearby, a calm and beautiful spot with views across the surrounding hills. #### Village Amenities Challacombe is a small, traditional Exmoor settlement with no village shop. The Black Venus Inn serves food and drink and is the social heart of the community. For groceries and everyday supplies, the nearest options are the shop at Blackmoor Gate (approximately 4 miles) or the town of South Molton (approximately 10 miles), which has supermarkets, independent shops, a chemist, and a post office. #### Nearby Shopping Barnstaple is the nearest large town, approximately 15 miles to the northwest, with a full range of supermarkets, high street shops, and services. South Molton, a handsome market town on the southern edge of Exmoor, offers a good selection of independent retailers and a popular weekly pannier market. For those heading towards the Somerset side of Exmoor, Dulverton and Minehead provide further shopping options. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport -

Despite being next to the road it was really quiet when you were inside. Loved the views from the garden and conservatory. Well-kept cottage with great care and attention to detail from the owners. ##### Samantha W.

Great for couples with dogs Lovely location with fabulous views. Cottage was well equipped and cosy. Great for couples with dogs. Bedroom was delightful and the four poster bed almost too comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay. The Black Venus pub down the hill is worth visiting ( dog friendly) and the Village shop/ Post Office is a bit of a gem. We would definately stay here again. Nice garden which was enclosed and safe for dog. ##### Donna H. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > > [Etrop Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Etrop-Grange.h49116.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeside Lodge with 6 berth hot tub and private fishing peg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Delightful-Lakeside-Lodge-With-Hot-Tub-Private-Fishing-Peg-With-Stunning-View.h27123912.Hotel-Information) > > [Northlands Farm & Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-Northlands-Farm-Lakes-Premium-Chalet-1.h37797465.Hotel-Information) > > [Urban Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Urban-Beach-Hotel.h2814369.Hotel-Information) > > [Ox Hotel Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Milton-Manchester-Hotel.h18787802.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Delta-By-Marriott-Cheltenham-Chase-Hotel.h9657.Hotel-Information) > > [Gardener's Heddon Valley - pet friendly, peaceful and close to SW coast path](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barnstaple-Hotels-Gardeners-Heddon-Valley-Pet-Friendly.h48634017.Hotel-Information) > > [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > > [Bredbury Hall by Accor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockport-Hotels-Bredbury-Hall.h64706.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Colchester.h14251.Hotel-Information) > > [Caverswall Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Caverswall-Castle.h23959535.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) > > [Cherry Park Hall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Cherry-Park-Hall.h15952872.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Pinewood Manchester Airport-Wilmslow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wilmslow-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Pinewood-On-Wilmslow-Hotel-Cheshire.h22074.Hotel-Information) > > [Fisherman's Cot, Tiverton by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tiverton-Hotels-Fishermans-Cot.h11900175.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-M40-J15-Warwick-Hotel.h10444.Hotel-Information) > > [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > > [Wychnor Park Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Wychnor-Park-Country-Club.h1927715.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [The New French Partridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northampton-Hotels-The-New-French-Partridge.h2288818.Hotel-Information) > > [Hunter's Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barnstaple-Hotels-Hunters-Inn.h4462929.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bowman by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nottingham-Hotels-The-Bowman.h46162199.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke on Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Stoke-On-Trent.h6788.Hotel-Information) > > [Makeney Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belper-Hotels-Makeney-Hall-Hotel.h1206529.Hotel-Information) ---
