Accommodation overview: Set in a spectacular location, enjoying breathtaking moorland views from its superb hillside position, this attractive, stone faced, detached farmhouse dating back to the 17th-century has been renovated to a very high standard, offering spacious holiday accommodation. Located within one mile from the top of Exmoor, one mile from the coastline and just two miles from the pretty village of Porlock with its dramatic scenery, Holmbush makes a wonderful base from which to explore Exmoor National Park with its contrasting scenery.
The property is surrounded with wonderful landscaped gardens and several lawns with mature trees and well-stocked borders, and also enjoys a sunken garden with an ornamental pond and further seating area.
The village of Porlock is positioned in a deep hollow, cupped by the hills of Exmoor, and provides many shops and restaurants. Dripping with charm with its thatch-and-cob houses and long main street, the village prides itself on literary links to the Exmoor romance Lorna Doone. To the west of the village is Porlock Weir with its tiny harbour, a haven for yachts and fishing boats. Lynmouth, one of the most beautiful drives in the area can be explored, as well as Selworthy village with its many thatched cottages, or Dunster village, with its medieval castle (NT). Lynch Park Farm with its falcons is always a favourite with children and is nearby.
There are numerous National Trust properties and gardens to visit nearby including Arlington Court, Woody Bay, Heddon Valley, Holnicote Estate and Selworthy, Damage Cliffs, Morte Point and Woolacombe. Shops 1½ miles. Entrance through archway into large hallway. Large living room with wood-burning stove in inglenook fireplace with original bread oven, leading to Amdega conservatory with seating and door to garden with stunning meadow views.
