MARTINHOE CLEAVE COTTAGESMartinhoe
Situated just below the hamlet of Martinhoe, this row of three delightful
cottages are set in a small private country estate, which overlooks the deep
Heddon Valley. The densely wooded valley is situated on the Western edge of the
Exmoor National Park and is close to some of the most beautiful and dramatic
coastal scenery in Britain. The valley is home to the rare High Brown Fritillary
Butterfly and our own field is a site where they lay their eggs in order that
the larvae can feed on the violets that abound there during the early summer.
Whilst the final access to the estate is via steep and winding lanes which
preserve its privacy and feeling of remoteness, there are both villages and
towns within just a few miles. The closest village being Parracombe, 3 miles,
Lynton and Lynmouth are 6 miles along the coast to the east, Combe Martin 6
miles to the west. Further afield, Barnstaple, North Devon's bustling market
town, is 16 miles away. The A361 Link Road that joins onto the M5 starts 18
miles away.
Converted by Bob and Heather in 2003 to provide self-catering accommodation, they are equipped to a very high standard throughout. All of the cottages have central heating, flat screen LED televisions, Freesat boxes, DVD players, radio/CD players and have a private water supply.
They share a car park, with room for 5 vehicles, situated opposite the building and a communal utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer and drying rack and a shared freezer. There is also a payphone as there is no mobile phone reception!

We are happy for you to bring your dog with you and make no additional charge for them. However, we do appreciate it if they are not left unattended in the cottages at any time, as even the nicest have been known to misbehave.
