This three bedroomed former farmworkers' cottage is beautifully situated on 250 acres of working farm at the southern edge of Exmoor National Park. The cottage is south facing and is right on the Devon/Somerset border with the farm hedge marking the county boundary. The gentle rolling countryside surroundings has forests and fields that provide natural habitats for little-seen wildlife such as red and roe deer, owls, badgers and foxes.

There are many things to do within easy reach of this beautifully refurbished cottage - the Anchor Inn at Exebridge is your nearest pub, with its lovely location on the edge of the River Exe. It provides good hospitality and home-cooked food. The popular town of Dulverton, 4 miles away, offers a wide range of shopping, galleries, pubs, restaurants and a selection of pretty tea-rooms where you can sample the local sweet offerings.

Exmoor National Park provides an abundance of activities - horse riding, walking, cycling and coarse and trout fishing on the river Exe are all fantastic ways to spend the day and Wimbleball Lake provides the opportunity to canoe, sail and windsurf amidst fantastic stunning scenery.

For children's attractions, the West Somerset Railway, Exmoor safaris and the Zoo are within a short drive. They will love exploring the Tarr Steps Woodland nature reserve with its prehistoric stepping stones across the river.

Or for something completely different, visit the Quince Honey Farm and watch how this fascinating product is made. For beaches, the cottage is equidistant to the choice of north of south Devon coasts, with Taunton, Minehead, Barnstaple and Exeter all within a 25 mile radius. The area has its share of National Trust properties too - Knightshayes Court and Dunster Castle are an easy drive from the self-catering cottage

So whether you've spent the day on the beach, or cycling, horse riding or sailing, Oak Tree cottage in its secluded location is lovely to come back to. If you're simply seeking a peaceful chilled holiday in beautiful surroundings, this west country cottage is just the place.
