Lovely old house in a beautiful, peaceful location on Exmoor - but still within easy reach of the main A39 to Porlock/Lynmouth. The house is very well equipped - everything you need is provided. It is very comfortable and welcoming and well positioned for some excellent walks on the moor. Wonderful welcome pack!

A lovely spacious house with character (as you can see in the photos). We were 3 adults and 4 teenagers and there were lots of spaces to come together or to find some peace and quiet. Comfy beds. Opportunity to eat in conservatory or garden, which has lovely views. Nearest shop for milk etc. is Cloud Farm Campsite, or 15-20 min drives to Porlock or Lynton. Lots of great walks (including to pubs) and bike rides from the house, and it is about 1 hour on foot to a pebble beach (big hills both ways) where we went twice and met nobody.

The location of Oare Manor Cottage is stunning. The property is furnished to a very high level and the facilities are perfect and the cleanliness was excellent and felt very safe. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing stay in Exmoor, I couldn't recommend this lovely property more highly.

Wonderful traditional house in a beautiful location, with a real sense of TLC. It's spacious, clean, comfortable and well-equipped, with a warm log-fire at the heart of the home. Star-gazing was fun too!

The cottage is so beautiful, loads of space and very comfortable. A big welcome basket is a special treat. The wraparound garden is lovely and much bigger than you usually get with a holiday rental - the dogs loved it and spent ages out there. The gate can be closed so children and dogs can’t get out. This is definitely the best cottage we have ever stayed in.

Wonderful cottage. A rare gem. Has everything you could possibly need during your stay. For us the peace and quiet were paramount and we certainly found it here. An enclosed garden for our dog was also important and this one was delightful. The surrounding countryside is breathtaking with plenty of wildlife to observe.

Oare Manor Cottage is simply beautiful, with an interesting layout and lots of different areas to relax. We loved the sunny conservatory with views of the well kept, secluded gardens surrounding the house, and also the cosy living room looking out over the moor. Beds were super comfortable, and we really appreciated the little extras in the bathrooms and the welcome basket with delicious treats. The area is outstandingly beautiful, with some great walks on the doorstep. We couldn't have wished for a more perfect weekend break, and will definitely be back.

The location of the property provides stunning views across and along the valley - being higher up you do not feel hemmed in nor lose the sun early. The house was spotlessly clean with lovely touches such as fresh flowers in the rooms. Our bed was huge and very comfortable - so we woke refreshed to that stunning view. The house and garden are also very private and secure for the dogs. \r Having been given a low occupancy discount we were very happy with the accommodation provided although I think I might have been less so had we been a group of eight paying full price.

Fabulous cottage. We arrived as the darkness was setting in; the lights and the heating had been put on - what a wonderful welcome. The cottage has the "wow" factor. Spotlessly clean and warm (which can often not be the case); each room furnished in keeping with the era of the cottage. The only thing that surpassed the beauty of the cottage was the absolutely stunning location. What a gem of a place. A wonderful week had by my husband and myself and our two dogs.

We had a wonderful time at Oare Manor Cottage. Such a beautiful, spacious and well-equipped house, with a beautiful garden and fantastic views all around. We loved Lynton and Lynmouth (particularly the walk to the Valley of Rocks). Also did a lovely walk from Bossington to Selworthy Beacon and down to Selworthy and Allerford - fantastic views, and trips to Dunster Castle and Minehead. Loved the welcome basked too - many thanks!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oare Manor Cottage. The views from the cottage and the garden are spectacular and it’s so peaceful and quiet. The cottage is very well equipped and the furnishings and bedding etc are very high quality. The only beach nearby that’s really sandy for kids is Minehead which isn’t the best. Places like Woolacombe are much better but a bit of a drive to get to. We would have happily hung up the car keys and stayed in the valley. There are wonderful walks right from the front door and we were sad to leave at the end of the week!

This house was perfect for us. It is in a gorgeous setting and is decorated tastefully. The room layout worked very well for our group (two families). Relatively quick access both to Porlock and Lynton/Lynmouth. Really, it was all one could hope for, and we hope to come back some day.

Everything about this property I could not fault. Everything a guest would need was catered for. An idyllic setting between Lynton/Lynmouth and Porlock. You must have a car and the only recommendation I would have for the property would be to have an electric car charger pod. I have a Hybrid so it was ok but there are no chargers nearby that I could find it would have been perfect to charge my car every night. Even if it was chargeable to the guest. The hosts could not have been more helpful. 5r stars from me!!

Absolutely gorgeous cottage. Fabulous peaceful location in the Doone Valley, with the Coleridge Way right on your doorstep. We arrived on a wet, windy December evening and the cottage was toasty with welcoming lights on for us. Walking into the fairy light lit conversatory with its underfloor heating gave the cottage a magical feeling and set the tone of our holiday. Loads of space, beautifully clean, and a huge welcome basket filled with biscuits, nuts, crisps and wine. We couldn't finish it all! The farm at the end of the road has a honesty box selling duck eggs which make delicious fry ups before you set off on numerous walks straight from the cottage. We bought all the eggs during our stay! This is the second property I've booked through Best of Exmoor, and you cannot fault them. Incredibly simple booking process, high standard of properties, and great communication and info. Why go anywhere else?!

To arrive on a very wet and wild day to find a warm house with welcoming lights and a wonderful welcome basket was all we could ask for. Everything else was a bonus and although the house is in a secluded spot, the main road is literally five minutes away, so nowhere was that far We would definitely recommend and would return in a heartbeat

It is very comfortable and welcoming and well positioned for some excellent walks on the moor. Wonderful welcome pack!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oare Manor Cottage. The views from the cottage and the garden are spectacular and it’s so peaceful and quiet. The cottage is very well equipped and the furnishings and bedding etc are very high quality. The only beach nearby that’s really sandy for kids is Minehead which isn’t the best. Places like Woolacombe are much better but a bit of a drive to get to. We would have happily hung up the car keys and stayed in the valley. There are wonderful walks right from the front door and we were sad to leave at the end of the week!

This house was perfect for us. It is in a gorgeous setting and is decorated tastefully. The room layout worked very well for our group (two families). Relatively quick access both to Porlock and Lynton/Lynmouth. Really, it was all one could hope for, and we hope to come back some day.

The location of the property provides stunning views across and along the valley - being higher up you do not feel hemmed in nor lose the sun early. The house was spotlessly clean with lovely touches such as fresh flowers in the rooms. Our bed was huge and very comfortable - so we woke refreshed to that stunning view. The house and garden are also very private and secure for the dogs. \r Having been given a low occupancy discount we were very happy with the accommodation provided although I think I might have been less so had we been a group of eight paying full price.

Lovely location providing good access to the coast and Exmoor, perfect for leaving work behind and enjoying the countryside. The caretakers had prepared the house for us on arrival and we felt very welcome after a long journey.

the cottage is one of the very best we have stayed in. this was the third time we had booked through "Best of Exmoor" and on each occasion the accommodation and the service has been second to none.

Fabulous cottage. We arrived as the darkness was setting in; the lights and the heating had been put on - what a wonderful welcome. The cottage has the "wow" factor. Spotlessly clean and warm (which can often not be the case); each room furnished in keeping with the era of the cottage. The only thing that surpassed the beauty of the cottage was the absolutely stunning location. What a gem of a place. A wonderful week had by my husband and myself and our two dogs. Thank you to all concerned for a most enjoyable week.
