About Exmoor and West Somerset Bees Knees and Honeycott Cottages have recently been converted from a barn into 2 luxury self-catering cottages, accommodating up to 4 people in each. Situated in the heart of the Exmoor National Park they both have breathtaking views towards the sea and across the hills and valleys. Exmoor National Park covers 265 square miles of Devon and Somerset with over 500 miles of beautiful walks straight from your doorstep. The area is popular with walkers and lovers of nature, thereby making the accommodation popular with couples and families just wanting to get away from it all, especially out of season. Families with children will be in their element with so much to see and do. Its central location makes it an ideal base to explore the Exmoor National Park. Exmoor is a special place of wild heather moorland, deep wooded valleys, streams, lanes full of wild flowers and an abundance of wildlife, Red Deer, Exmoor Ponies and Buzzards. It is a wonderful place to explore by car or on foot anytime of year. With the highest sea cliffs in England, and the amazingly rugged coastline from Minehead through Porlock, Lynton and Lynmouth to Combe Martin you can explore this beautiful coastline from the superb South West Way coastal path. Snow Drop Valley is very popular in February, which is situated on the river Avill.  There is a park and ride scheme running from Wheddon Cross from the popular Rest and Be Thankful pub, which is 3 miles from the farm. Our local pub and restaurant is the award winning Royal Oak of Luxborough and is within walking distance (2 miles) and offers good food and real ale.  There are many other good pubs and restaurants close by in Dunster and Minehead. Within an hours drive there are many attractions to visit that include historic Exeter with its cathedral and the beaches of North Devon. Within 15 minutes are Wimbleball Reservoir for sailing, boating and fishing, the medieval village of Dunster with its Castle (National Trust), working flour Mill and Yarn Market and the restored Cleeve Abbey (an English Heritage site) is in Washford. Other places of interest to visit are Winsford, Dulverton, Tarr Steps, Exford, Porlock, Lorna Doone Valley and Lynton and Lynmouth with its unique water powered cliff railway. Activities such as Horse riding or pony trekking, falconry, archery and fishing are available within 10 miles from the cottages. The seaside resort of Minehead with its sandy beach, golf course, swimming pool and West Somerset Steam Railway (W.S.R) is 7 miles away.
